Pros: Convenience.
Camera.
Other organizational tools.
Cons: The circular keypad is a little ... different.
Wish for more features: Auto-focus, zoom, etc.
The Bottom Line: I've enjoyed this phone quite a bit. I'm using it as a camera as often as I am a phone.

| alf_loaskin's Full Review: Nokia 3560 |
I've had the 3650 phone for 6 weeks or more now. Long enough to receive my first bill at least :)
Overall, I'm plenty happy with it. It has been 2 years since I've upgraded my cell phone, so this one is a definite improvement.
The camera was what sold me on the camera, to be honest, and it is still the main non-phone function that I have made the most use of.
I was showing off the phone this weekend in a bar and a couple of us were trying to figure out how to change the default contrast or contrast settings on the phone, but gave up. I'm not sure that there is a way to do that. Funny enough, I seem to take most of my photos when I'm out at night, and I've wished for a flash a time or two. Or an auto focus feature. Maybe it is because we were out at a bar, but none of us stumbled across the phone's 'Night' setting. That will teach me not to read instructions, I guess. (No. It won't.)
But overall, I'm pleased with the phone. Still get a thrill out of the fact that my phone can take pictures. And I'm already wishing for additional features: auto-focus, flash, etc.
I got used to the circular keypad pretty quickly too.
And while I'm busy prattling away, I'll cut-and-paste this URL for a Nokia-sponsored sweepstakes I just came across:
https://www.nokiaconnections.com/PickAPhoneSweeps/PickAPhoneSweeps.aspx
Winners of this contest will be able to pick from 10 phones, and they'll get 3 months of service, and the chance to win some cash... I think the cash grand prize is $1000.
There are pretty good deals on most of these phones through carriers, I think, but still ... a free phone and one thousand bucks is a free phone and one thousand bucks.
Here are the phones included in the sweepstakes: 2285, 3300, 3560, 3586i, 3595, 3600, 3650, 6800, 6610, 7210.
