'It's a little disappointing to see a music-oriented phone come without headphones or a memory card of some sort, but since it's currently offered free with a 2-year contract, these omissions are a little understandable.'
'the phone is solid and slick, although a little on the heavy side at 110 grams.'
'the phone does not stay steady in the hand.'
'It's slow, it has just a VGA camera, MP3s sound like they're being played back from a sarcophagus under a pyramid, and, well, just about everyone in a second class train compartment can now be segregated into Nokia 6600 users and some Reliance users.'
'A speakerphone is useful for hands-free calling when you're driving or multitasking.'
'The Samsung SGH-D900 has a flat keypad that makes menu navigation and dialing tricky.'
'You can use just one finger, putting in on the d-pad below the slightly raised surface, to open the phone's slider, as its movement is supported by flawless spring mechanism, which helps you to open both gently and fast.'
'When there is a new message, the standby screen will play gimmicky animations: fireworks at night, and stunt airplanes during the day.'
''Normal' will leave you free to shoot up to the constraints of your memory card at whatever quality setting and image size you want up to 352x288 pixels.'
'The phone is available in four vibrant colors viz Graphite, White silver, Hot pink, Blue giving ample of options to people to make a choice.'
'The quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support make Nokia 2690 capable of global roaming and the built-in microSD card slot allows expanding the internal memory to 8GB. '
'The two colours give the phone a distinctive look, especially as the band with the navigation key, call keys and screen selection keys, are located on the coloured case. '
'Communicating on the Nokia 2690 is effortless as a result. '
'I couldn't pick up any networks with it in my house, whilst my old dust and water proof nokia had 2-4 bars and my fiancees phone was working perfectly too.'
'Although a decent enough phone in its own right, this phone´s main selling point is how tough it is. '
'It is, in fact, the toughest phone we´ve ever had the pleasure to drop, throw, step on and take a shower with! '
'It feels like an awful long time ago that Nokia released a shock, dust and water resistant mobile phone, but the Nokia 3720 certainly was worth the wait, the biggest surprise is that this new tough phone is part of the Nokia Classic range which gives the phone some excellent design characteristics in line with others in the series which include the Nokia 6700 and Nokia 2730.
