Nokia 3500 classic review

Network and connections

Belonging to that series of models that revives the classic lines of cell phones from some time ago, while at the same time modernizing them in terms of connections, the 3500 Classic turns out to be a Tri-Band on the 900, 1800 and 1900 Mhz frequencies. It also integrates GPRS class 10 connectivity, EDGE class 10 and a miniUSB port. Finally, let's not forget Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

Design and equipment

The battery included with this cell phone has a power of 820 mAh. It offers a battery life (on a single charge) of about 280 hours in stand-by and 3 hours of talk time. The design of this model is very classic, it's a one-piece cell phone with rounded corners. Its weight is only 81 grams; its dimensions are 107 mm in height, 45 in width and 13.1 in thickness. Available in four colors: Gray, Pink, Mandarin and Blue.

Main functions

Voice Memo, with the ability to record voice sequences and associate them with contacts in the address book, and Built-in Speakerphone, the two most distinctive functions worth mentioning. In addition, there's the calendar, the calculator, built-in games plus others downloadable via the Wap browser, and messaging that supports SMS, MMS (there's the T9 predictive text system), e-mail and Instant Messaging. A separate chapter for multimedia resources.

Entertainment and multimedia

Also complete from this point of view, the Nokia 3500 Classic grants two important spaces to the musical aspect: the first through an MP3 player also compatible with AAC, AAC+ and MP4 formats. The second with the presence of an FM radio tuner with Stereo sound. Finally, the built-in digital camera, with a resolution of 2 Megapixels, image size of 1600x1200 pixels and the ability to record videos depending on available memory (the internal one is 8.5 MB expandable via microSD).
