The good: The Nokia 3555 has an attractive design and satisfying call performance. Its feature set includes voice dialing, stereo Bluetooth, and a music player.
The bad: The Nokia 3555 has dim, low-resolution displays. Also, it offers only a VGA camera.
The bottom line: The Nokia 3555 has a schizophrenic feature set and dim displays, but it's not a bad buy as a midrange cell phone.

Nokia 3555
Of the major U.S. carriers, Nokia seems to get along best with T-Mobile. Though Nokia continues to disappoint us with its relatively small presence here, T-Mobile adds a new Nokia handset to its lineup every few months. In the second half of last year America's fourth largest carrier launched the Nokia 6086, the Nokia 2610, and the Nokia 6263, and now it gives us the Nokia 3555. Cut from the same mold as AT&T's Nokia 6555, the 3555 also offers an attractive, if slightly reworked, flip phone design. The feature set ... Expand full review

Nokia 3555
Of the major U.S. carriers, Nokia seems to get along best with T-Mobile. Though Nokia continues to disappoint us with its relatively small presence here, T-Mobile adds a new Nokia handset to its lineup every few months. In the second half of last year America's fourth largest carrier launched the Nokia 6086, the Nokia 2610, and the Nokia 6263, and now it gives us the Nokia 3555. Cut from the same mold as AT&T's Nokia 6555, the 3555 also offers an attractive, if slightly reworked, flip phone design. The feature set is a something of a mishmash; though the 3555 offers a music player, stereo Bluetooth, and voice dialing, its camera has only VGA resolution. But on the upside, the call quality is decent and it beats the 6555's dismal battery life. The 3555 is affordably priced at $149, but you can get it for as low as $49 with service.
Design
The 3555 inherits many of its 6555's design elements. We continue to consider the slender shape to be attractive, and we like how the phone feels in the hand. The 3555 is almost the same size as the 6555 (3.92 inches by 1.75 inches by 0.81 inch), and it weighs just about the same (3.32 ounces) as well. The hinge felt just a tad loose, and some surfaces had too much of a plastic feel, but on the whole, we approve of the design.
Yet there are a few differences between the 3555 and its predecessor. Unlike the 6555, which came in multiple hues, the 3555 sports only an eye-catching royal blue color. Also, the 3555 has a unique design on its front and rear faces. You don't see it until the phone is open, but at that point you should notice that the stripes on the front and rear faces join together to form one long stripe. Another important difference lies with the internal and external displays, but unfortunately it's not a good change. While the 6555 had a 262,000-color external screen, the 3555's display is monochrome. It still shows all the important status information, but it doesn't support photo caller ID and it won't work as a viewfinder for the camera lens, which sits just above.
The 3555 has a unique design and color scheme.
The 3555's internal display is also a step down. Though it also supports 262,000 colors, it's a bit smaller (1.8 inches) than the 6555's screen, and it has a lower resolution (128x160 pixels). Unfortunately, the change is more than noticeable; graphics and photos were blocky and colors were washed out. On the upside, the menu system was easy to understand, but the animated icons weren't very sharp. You can't change the brightness, but you can alter the font size and color.
The navigation controls assume an interesting design that consists of a series of rounded squares. The outermost square holds two soft keys, and the Talk and End power controls. Inside that is a navigation toggle, while inside the toggle is a square OK button. It's a spacious and mostly easy-to-use arrangement, though the controls are flush. In standby mode, you can choose to access the MyFaves application with the toggle or you can designate the toggle to serve as a shortcut to four user-defined applications.
The keypad buttons are also flush but the individual buttons are large, and they're paced far apart from each other. We didn't have any misdials but dialing by feel was a tad difficult. Also, while a bright backlighting made it easy to dial in dim situations, the numbers on the keys are rather small. Callers with should test the 3555 before buying.
External controls on the 3555 are very few. On the left spine are a volume rocker, a camera shutter, and a mini-USB port, while a 2.5mm headset jack and the charger port sit on the right spine. In a change from many flip phones, the volume rocker sits on the front flap. That means that the up and down orientation will change as you open the phone. But that shouldn't be a problem for many users, and in any case, the rocker is easy to find when you're on a call.
Features
The 3555 has a 1,000-contact phone book with room in each entry for five phone numbers, an e-mail address, a Web site, a company name, a job title, a formal name, a nickname, a street address, a birthday, and notes. You can save callers to groups and pair them with any of 15 polyphonic ringtones. You can pair contacts with a photo as well; however, keep in mind that the image won't show up on the external display. An additional feature is the capability to change the phonebook font size--nice.
Other basics include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, an alarm clock, a calendar, a to-do list, a notepad, a calculator, a timer, a world clock, and a stopwatch. As previously mentioned, you'll also find stereo Bluetooth and voice dialing, both of which are welcome on a midrange phone. Additional applications include PC syncing, USB mass storage, a speakerphone, a voice recorder, instant messaging, and e-mail. mai mult despre[1]
