The Nokia 3600 is a compact, stylish and unusually beautiful slider phone that is packed with entertainment.

Aesthetically, the Nokia 3600 is lovely to look at. Gorgeous is really more appropriate. This slider handset is a stylish blend of soft ceramic paint and metal, partnered with laddered colours and high gloss surfaces. The 3600 comes in two colour options (magenta and black) and both of these are presented in a dashing two tone gradient which really sets this phone apart in the looks department.

Oogling aside, the Nokia 3600 is also a very functional and capable mobile phone. The good quality 2 inch display coupled with Nokia's trusty user interface makes for a pleasant using experience, and the navigation key in particular is very well designed and an excellent size. Call quality is excellent and texting is a breeze thanks to Nokia's T9 predictive text system.

Connectivity is somewhat limited, as the Nokia 3600 does not support 3G or Wi-Fi services.  There is Bluetooth, and the 3600 comes with Nokia Maps pre-installed so you can buy a Bluetooth GPS receiver and pair the two together. A 3.2-megapixel camera featuring auto-focus and a 2 LED flash ensures you can shoot high-quality photos and videos even under low light conditions. You can then utilise the TV-out function to connect to your TV set and share your pictures and videos with family and friends.

An included music player supports MP3, WMA and AAC music files, and although there is not much internal storage, Nokia have included a microSD card slot and also a 512MB memory card. They have also thrown in a set of headphones for listening to your favourite tracks and making handsfree calls.
