For all of you! After using this phone for now 3 months, I can definately say it a true value for money. Well for all who are saying that the vga camera quality is better than 3500s - Id say to them that just transfer your pics to your PC and youll find the difference! its way better than vga.
Now talking about the other features: Sound is ok and the reception is very decent, you can easily make or receive a call even in the 2nd basement. Nokia 3500c has good variety of features which youll see mostly in N series phones such as Good and loud MP3 player, Radio, 2MP camer (without flash), memory card capacity of upto 2GB and it works just fine which makes it truly a value for your hard earned money. Now..now if everything is so good whats the grey side of this gadget. It surely has a drawback which is so very cruitial that it overwrites the flamboyancy of this phone and that is its battery life, which is so very less that even if you are a moderate user, still you have to charge it everyday. Rest all is just well in place, a good looking model except if they could have used slightly good quality of plastic for its back which starts makings crackling sounds after youve opened it 2-3 times.
My advice to you - Its a very good phone with all the features in it and if you have no issues with the battery life, go for it - Its your phone in store!
