The Nokia 3600 Slide is a neat and compact, mid-range slider. It has a nice oval shape with a 2 inch screen. Classed as all-round entertainment phone, the Nokia 3600 Slide has a stereo FM radio and Nokia’s renowned music player, which is controlled using the large D-pad on the front of the phone. It has a 2.5mm audio jack so you’ll need a 3.5mm adapter (get on one eBay) if you want to use your own headphones. A 512MB memory card is included. This can be expanded to 8GB.

The 3 megapixel camera can take photos at a resolution up to 2048x1536 pixels, which is more than enough for most people. It has autofocus and produces reasonable photographs for a mid-range cameraphone. Basic VGA video recording is also offered at 15 frames per second. A nice feature is the TV out port, which allows photos and videos to be shown on your big screen TV.

Running on the latest version of Nokia’s S40 operating system, the Nokia 3600 Slide includes a handful of games and plenty of useful applications. For example, there’s an all-embracing organiser, Opera Mini web browser and Nokia Maps applications. Nokia Maps is a route planner with easy-to-follow directions. When connected up to a Bluetooth GPS receiver, the Nokia 3600 Slide can become a complete sat nav device.
