| User's review (from Epinions.com) |
I admit it, I have cell phone
envy. Yep, I was the girl who always said all she needed was a phone to
make calls on; she didn’t need those fancy bells and whistles. That was
true, until my son got his new Nokia 3560. My phone is just a few weeks
old (a
Nokia 3590

screen and cool key pad layout, I wish I’d shopped around before choosing
mine.
We get special rates and because of that the phones are usually free or
for a small fee. Since I didn’t think I cared, I usually went with
whatever the free phone was that month (I did that for my younger son and
he got a
Nokia 1260
{Read full review} which doesn't even vibrate and you can't change the cover.)
When it came time to get my son a new phone I called the regular service
line, not the special rate line, and they talked me into buying this phone
for $49.00. I should have gotten the free phone but hey, this is the last
phone we’ll hopefully have to provide him with so I might as well get him
a good one.
We have AT&T service which FedEx’s the phone already configured and
activated. Charging took no time at all and I started playing with it
within 3 hours of receiving it. The quick charge is truly fast—more about
that later.
The first thing I enjoyed was the colored screen and the lighted key pad.
My keypad is backlit whit cutouts for the numbers. I didn’t realize how
hard it was to see until I used my sons. The backlighting is bright and
the key cutouts crisp so it was extremely easy to use in dark conditions.
The antenna is built-in (a must-have feature as he needed a new phone
because he broke the antenna off the old one). You should avoid touching
the area where the antenna is housed because you can interfere with the
transmission. To keep you safely away from it, they’ve added a tiny finger
hold area so that you’ll be sure to use it properly.
The tiny battery was easy to install and intuitive—no problems putting it
in and snapping on the cover. That was the extent of the assembly
necessary. |
