| mitch528's Full Review: Nokia 3360 Cell Phone |
I bought this unit because I wanted something that has text messaging capabilities, and this one does that plus e-mail. The website says that it has a web browser built-in, however AT&T Wireless does not provide the service for that function. I also have never been able to get the infared modem to work with my PDA.
Speaking of the infared, this is a really nice feature for anyone with a PDA. I can transfer names and addresses to and from my phone on-the-go using the infared port, and you can even play games over it with another 3360. If I could just get it to work woth my PDA, I could use that to browse the web wirelessly.
I've dropped mine a couple times and it takes it just fine. The buttons have started to become less sensative, and I find myself having to go back and enter that missed button-stroke when I'm entering a text message. This has always been a problem for me and my Nokia phones.
The battery seems to die on the spot... I can go to 2-out-of-4 bars on the battery gauge to the phone shutting down in less than 2 minutes, which is a little annoying. More than once I have gotten a calle and see that I have two battery bars left, then it beeps to tell me that the battery is low (no bars) before I can finish saying "Hello," and lass than a minute later it gives me three beeps and then shuts down. Luckily the people on the other end have been understanding when I have to find another phone (or my car charger) to explain what happened.
