Yeah, this phone rocks! I just bought it this week & I really love it! The best phone ever for the price.

If you are looking for a cheap & good features phone, do really buy this 3500! It rules!

I bought this phone when it first came out, & have been very pleased with what it has to offer, especially for the price, £20 cheaper now makes it even more of a bargain! The features of this phone are perfect for my needs calling, texting, accessing the Internet, taking the odd photo & while they may not be the best on the market, for the price I can't complain.

As with other Nokia's (or at least the ones I have experienced), the phone is easy to use, & is also proving to be extremely reliable. I am quite prone to dropping my mobiles, & this one has taken a fair few knocks, but is still going strong. My previous mobile (Motorola K1) had long since given up on my by this point.

My only gripe with this phone is the memory - while setting up my mobile for use, I added a 13 second (262 KB) music track, but was left with insufficient storage space to add more. I now find that I can only store one photo in the image gallery, so I strongly recommend purchasing a memory card (as I am about to do) if you want to make proper use of the media features available.

Overall, this is a lovely little phone, & I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a mobile that is reliable, fairly cheap, & packed with plenty of features.

I brought this phone, the 3500 two days ago. I found the camera clarity even worse than a VGA camera. It has poor battery life which just lasts for a day. & the worse, the phone gets too hot if you speak for more than 3 minutes. I found all these problems very annoying. Please don't buy this phone. Nokia is using all substandard parts in this phone. Do not buy it. I have changed my phone to Nokia 6233 which is even better & superior. 3500 is just waste of money. It will not even last 3 months.

GREAT PHONE, REALLY LOW PRICE! I don't understand why this thing is so cheap, if it has all these features! , Awesome balance between cost & functionality.

Reviewer: Akash - Kota, India
Date: 6th Mar 2008

The phone is good but handle it very carefully because it's display settlement is like such that if it got dropped on its top there may be 70% chances of crack in it, the rest is all good & opera mini software in it is really good.

Reviewer: Puneet - Delhi, India

Well currently I am using both Nokia 6233 & Nokia 3500. It's a matter of fact that I am a great fan of Nokia 6233 with its dual speakers & surround sound that makes a superb sound & a great experience whereas sound in 3500 is very low & is not that good too. With the picture clarity the Nokia 3500 again fails in compare to Nokia 6233 due to its lower resolution, as Nokia 6233 has got much better clarity. Nokia 3500 also doesn't have a 3G experience which Nokia 6233 have. If you want to go for a mobile then go for Nokia 6233 which is much more advanced model than 3500.

Wow! I just bought this phone on 20 January 2008. The features are awesome! Except don't have 3G. The price is very affordable. The camera quality is very good. But the speaker sound is slightly disappointed. But problem of sound solved when you use the Nokia provided headset! Video can be played in full mode! Lastly I wanted to say. This phone Is Superb.

The phone is too good, with music player, backup & iImage etc. It is very user friendly.

---

Reviewer: Raghavendra Dm - Kochi, India
Date: 15th Jan 2008

It is very good. Beautiful camera 2MP, music player fantastic, key pad absolutely no problem. I bought it last month & enjoying every moment with it. Clarity of display is too good.

Only small 2 discomfort I found. First one is back cover could be little stronger. Whenever I press keys, back cover makes little sound since it is very thin. Second one is that it could have wider screen. It has the space to accommodate a little wider screen.

Reviewer: Emma - Bahrain
Date: 13th Jan 2008

It has everything I need & of high quality apart from the fact the camera is not all that good at only 2 MP but is very good visually & is very good value for money.

Nokia 3500 is a good looking phone, it has a 2MP camera however resolution is poor. I got a blue one & it's just looks awesome in dark when the keypad its illuminated in blue all around. It's a classy phone is nominal price range.

Date: 27th Dec 2007

Does anyone know the release date for Nokia 3500 pink in the UK? I've been looking everywhere & can't find it, only thing I can find is release in 3Q of 2007, which doesn't really help as we are nearly in 2008 & it's still not been released.

Any information where I can buy one or a release date would be great.

I just bought Nokia 3500 last week. It's a good looking phone with classy look & slim bar design & all the features anyone could want from a mobile these days. However, it DOES have its shortcomings like.

- Camera quality is strictly OK, it cannot produce good images under home lighting conditions, Sony Ericsson's cameras in this range are much better.

- Keypad is a bit sticky & takes some getting used to. You might press the wrong keys often.

- Battery Life is not too good by Nokia standards. It hardly lasts for two days with 30 minutes of usage per day without any Calls!

Things I liked about Nokia 3500 are.

- Although the screen is not that big but its surprisingly vivid for a medium budget phone.
- Its design is really Classic, phone construction is very firm I never heard any squeaks from it.
- Revamped menu is very user friendly, specially the standby menu where you can control various things directly from the standby.
- Its ability to support a whooping 2 GB card for storing all your stuff.
- One amazing thing is it supports flash lite technology in addition to Java, so you can use Flash Lite 1.1 apps, games, screensavers etc.

Other features include music player, use as a USB drive, Push to Talk etc. Price is around 8600 (around $145) in Karachi. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to upgrade from a low end phone for the first time.

Reviewer: Sskp - Amritsar, India
Date: 20th Dec 2007

Nice but not satisfactory.

- It must have big display.
- It must have infra-red also.
- It must have some software like in every bid set, software like file man, cell trap, etc.
- Camera should have bigger than 2 mega pixels.

Reviewer: Debashis Chatterjee - Jamalpur, Bihar, India
Date: 9th Nov 2007

I bought this phone last week. I already have Nokia 3220 & 3230. Though 3230 is Smartphone with larger display, but 3500 classic is superb! It is slim & sleek, attractive & shiny. Every feature is handy & very useful, real companion for busy user. In the dark, its illuminated keypad is just beautiful! But its sound is very bad & low. It could have been better. As well as, its headset connector could have been standard 3.5 mm size. Anyway, at this price (Rs 6500 in India), this phone is a real gem & deserve the rating by Nokia as Classic is true! I advice, every small to medium budget purchaser will be proud enough to be owner of this fantastic phone!

I bought this phone yesterday 3500 has Great Features but this phone could have better resolution & display & also a faster processor & two speakers instead of one. Have a look at Nokia 6233.

Reviewer: Anon - India

I am considering buying this phone to replace my 6600 thanks to poor quality music. Is it worth it? Looks good & all. Price is also OK. What is the keypad like? the battery life seems less. Is that a drawback? Please guide.
