“Nokia 3500 classic offers good general performance and you can count on it that every part of its specs sheet is well covered in terms of software. It has nice snappy interface and is generally a pleasure to work with.On the other hand, the screen really killed all the pleasure for us. Nokia 3500 classic might be a bit better looking and a tad cheaper than the Nokia 6233, but the extra few bucks on a better screen just can't be more worth it.As we mentioned at the beginning of our review, the budget handset segment is really overcrowded so picking the right phone for your needs is a hard one, really. Still, if you find the specs sheet of Nokia 3500 classic reasonable you may as well go for it and rest assured performance won't let you down. If however you prefer a more exciting set of features you can't really complain about the lack of alternatives.”

i have had dis phone fo a year and a half . its very good in camera and everything but mah contract is sxpiring dis june so all i can say is buy it . great phone but if they improved it a lil more like qwerty keyborad and all but all and all very excellent phone
This phone worked well for me for a few months before it started shutting itself down, with full battery. The only way to get it to start up again was to remove the battery ,put it back, and press the power button.
Pros: everything, great camera Cons: no usb cable I had this phone for 9 months and never had a single problem with it. I lost it and nobody evver returned it. If Fido still offered this phone, I'd buy it. Great phone!
