What's your opinion on this phone...It's now $129.00 after a rebate in my
area...
Is it worth getting???

I have the 3650 from T-Mobile (the 3600 is the same phone but with
850MHz coverage for Cingular instead of 900 for Europe.)
I like it for the bluetooth and GPRS connectivity, but it's big, (like
Nokia 51xx big!), ugly and has a weird keyboard layout. (Nokia is
correcting this in the upcoming 3660 model.)
The size doesn't bother me, since it allows the use of the oversized
display, and ugly doesn't bother me either.
Like all cellphone cameras the included camera is a gimmicky piece of
crap, designed to generate carrier revenue via picture messaging
rather than letting you take a decent picture! ;-)
In the 4 or so months I've had mine, it's performed well- no real
software issues (my prior phone, a Nokia 8290, would occasionally
blank the display or lose signal for no good reason until powered off
and on.)
Signal reception is excellent- it works in several "dead spots" my
8290 didn't.
All in all I'm happy with it. My sick fantasy is that somehow the
3660's keypad and faceplate will fit the 3650 and allow me to get away
from the ridiculous "retro" rotary dial pad.

I had the 3650. Unlike the previous post, the pics from my phone were
great! Vibrant & crisp, even in low light situations! Maybe he had a
bad phone. However the video wasn't that great. I loved the tons of
apps that are available for the Symbian OS. It only took around 30
minutes for the phone to charge after running the battery completely
down!
My sole reason for returning it: that cirular keypad! I'm a heavy
chatter and the keypad slowed me down a great deal & drove me nuts.
I currently have the T616 but I am definately going for the newer
version of the 3650 when it becomes available!

Maybe he (I) was just very picky! ;-)
Perhaps the picture quality was acceptable to you for a 0.3 mega-pixel
camera, but NO 0.3 MP picture is good enough for me! ;-)
