Summary: AT & T Mail in rebate and service
Review: Nokia 3650 phone is the best phone i have ever seen, but when i purchase the phone from Amazon with Mail in rebate, I got Amazon mail in rebate but At & T is not responding to give the rebate, after 4 months also they are saying they didn't received the forms, I sent Mail in rebate forms 2 times. THey don't have FAX m/c to send the forms also. Worst AT & T customer service i have ever seen. They are not at all interested in responding to the customer.

Summary: DO NOT GET Service From AT&T
Review: Do not get service from AT&T. The phone came and it was not activated. Have been calling Amazon.com and at&t more than 2 times a day for the past 3 days and it is still not resolved. Some of the at&t hold time is as long as 1 hour!!!! Some of calls at at&t customer serivce will hang up on you after 20 minutes waiting. I am giving Amazon.com and at&t till this friday and if nothing is being resolved I am returning /refunding the phone. Amazon.com is not very helpful in trying to get it resolved. All they say was" there is is nothing much I can do here. I apologize..." Goog Luck

Summary: Great Phone Good Service
Review: This is really a great phone one can have.. The bigger size can be justified by tons of features it offers..It has great reception, customizability and is fun to use. The pictures are satisfactory (at least you dont have to regret for forgetting your camera on special occassions).

Odds are its low ring tone & not so good AT&T customer support.

Summary: Serious Software Shortcomings
Review: If you are a power user of the address book or any high memory usage functions beware of this phone. I have the address book loaded with over 2000 Outlook contacts which is very useful for me. However, resultantly any contact beginning with "d,e,f" can not be searched upon, the operating system reboots randomly at least twice a day and overall functionality of the phone slows to a crawl. I have researched other contact or address book applications but unfortunately this version of the Symbian operating system is very limited. Nokia thought I had a phone problem but I am now on my second phone with exactly the same problems. Also be aware that although the 16mb memory expansion is nice, very few of the applications can address that area of memory, resulting in the 4mb resident memory filling up very fast and limiting overall capabilities. Although I find the camera useful, the picture quality suffers from the limitations of an inferior lens. I disagree with most of the comments about the keyboard, after a couple of days you find yourself getting used to it. Bluetooth is difficult to configure but once it is, you will love that aspect of the phone more than any other. I have yet to find a phone that combines seamlessly with the functionality of a PDA and this isn't it.

Summary: Good buy
Review: This phone is a all-in-one digital warehouse. An excellent buy I bet.

Phone Features:
The signal reception for AT&T is excellent around my home area (NJ) and work (NY). After all, what is a phone that has everything but can't communicate? I charge the phone in once every two days and it did well with moderate use. The earpiece is very loud and clear. It also has a speaker phone that can be used when you are driving. It has most of the features that is on a land-line phone like hold, flash etc.

Non-Phone Fetures:
I have almost tried every option in this phone ranging from using infrared, bluetooth, camera, video etc etc. I must say that these features are not just antoher add-on but really value adds since all of them work very well and are very easy to operate. Specifically the camera takes pictures with excellent resolution even when viewed on a laptop.

Cons:
Everything has its toll. The size is its biggest drawback. It feels you are carrying a cordless phone in your pocket. However the discounted Jabra bluetooth-wireless headset compensates for it(By the way, the headset works great. Very rarely there were mystery disconnects from the phone)

The ringing tones are not very loud enough to get your attention if you are outdoors. I set it to the "intro" tone that is kind of wierd but the loudest. The dial pad resembles the older ancestor phones and not the traditional modern phone. This could be cumbersome when you are trying to type something in. To add the contacts you might want to use outlook instead of the keys.

But again, none of cons are realted to the communication features of the phone. I give it ****.

Summary: A friends word
Review: One of my friends (Bobby) own this phone i seen it and it was the last straw for me so i had to buy my own camera phone cuz im a gadget freak but with my past phone pressing number's while it's in your pocket is a problem with me so i was lookin around at camera phone's then i thought what about one like a friend of mine has (bobby's) and this is the phone when i asked him he said the reception is less than descent and the phone is a big phone for the new ones and the dialing is kinda a problem but he said he adjusted in a couple days but haveing problems with house phones :-\ then i thought i dont make much calls from home so i was still thinking baout this phone then my dad said the phone plan is important and i asked him that VIA text and he said he just got billed $0.10 for me sending him a text and another $0.10 for replying and not to text anymore :-\ so that was enought for me i will not go with a AT&T plan but the phone he said is a descent one atleast.................I thought this would be helpfull to you (im eyeing a few camera flip phones know)

Summary: So far, a great phone... adequate service.
Review: Over the first week, I've been very happy with the Nokia 3650. The built-in camera and video camera are very nice toys. The product quality is excellent. The phone itself is a very solid piece of hardware. Though the menu is a bit long, and finding things the first few times can be a bit of a trial. The ringtones included with the phone could also be a better selection. Minor sticking points though.

I've also invested in a few accessories for the phone. Foremost among them, a Bluetooth dongle for my iMac/iBook. Once the Bluetooth application is set up, it works like a charm to move pictures and ringtones. (By the way, there are a number of sources for great ringtones on the web. If you like an artist or song, you can probably find a polyphonic ringtone for it somewhere.)

I've also gotten a USB power cord which will power the phone from the computer rather than a plug. And, a number of different faceplates are available to change the look of the phone. (Beware on this though. Some are of a lower quality and don't fit exactly as they should. Check the vendor before purchasing.)

All in all, an excellent phone. If only AT&T could grasp the concept of customer service, all would be right with the world.

Summary: Good Phone.. has its own quirks.. not the best ATT service
Review: Have had this phone for about 4 months.. has been a great phone.
I am yet to try the bluetooth to the PC but it seems to work with other phones so I guess it should be easy to use with PC.

Wish it had a louder ringtone and better battery life, though I am satisfied.

Images are pretty decent considering its a phone with camera, not camera with phone!!! The round keypad is a bit unusual but I hardly use it, the voice dial and other features are more than enough to make up.

....

Overall, I think it is a great phone. Ever Heard this before?

Summary: GSM/GPRS not ready for prime time
Review: the new AT&T GSM/GPRS (Next Generation Phone) network is not ready for primetime. I have many problems with the phone when I go from one tower to the next with dropped calls. With the standard digital not the new GRPS phones I never had this problem. plus its not the signal strength. I will go from 5 bars full to drop call to 5 bars full as I move from one tower to the next on the highway. (not cool) ...

The other thing is there is no volume control for setting the volume of the Calendar Alarms. If you sync up outlook calendar with an alarm and you have the normal profile set .. the alarm notices come blaring out at 100% volume, no matter what your ring or speaker volume is set at !!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone and more,
Review: The PROs
- amazingly useful device that is far more than a phone
- the PDA features such as contacts, calendar, note pad,
calculator all work well.
- Great User Interface designed to work with one hand
- The camera is useful and fun. If you attach a photo to a contact,
then a thumbnail of the photo will appear when that person
calls, useful if you are in a meeting or driving an want to see
who is calling.
- PC Suite does good job of synchronizing. I have my laptop,
Jornada PDA, and 3650 all use the same set of contacts,
calendar, and tasks.
- 3Com BlueTooth adapter on laptop connects easily to the 3650,
and moves the large files rapidly.
- Battery life is better than I expected, given the large
color screen.
- The large screen allows for a lot of information and function.
Great for browseing mMode (on AT&T).

The CONs
The version of PC Suite which comes with the phone has problems connecting to many BlueTooth adapters.
The solution is to download the latest (Version 3.0 18-Nov-2003) from the Nokia site.
Once I did this, and installed the 3Com Bluetooth USB adapter (download latest drivers from 3COM),

everything worked perfectly.

In summary, the 3650 is a great phone, and so much more.
