Cricket Wireless has recently added a new low-end 3G phone to its offering. It’s the clamshell-shaped Nokia (NYSE: NOK) 3606, which aside from boasting a 3G radio also comes with the built-in music player, Bluetooth connectivity, and a battery that provides enough power to keep you talking for up to 3.5 hours — alternatively the same battery powers the device for up to 10 days in standby mode. Size wise, we’re talking about a thin device, which measures just 90×47.5×15.3 mm (3.5×1.9×0.6 inches) and is therefore easy to carry around. As for the price, Cricket is selling the Nokia 3606 for $179.99 sans any contract signed…

Why is this phone almost as much as a I phone and nearly twice the cost of the samsung jetset that has 2.5 mp camera , camcorder , twice the battery life , biger scream , 3g support , and more features , touch sceen , tilt sensor and so on. I just liked the fm radio in this one but it other wise looks like a crappy phone with a dinky battery life and all reviews call it a very basic phone. So why is amoung the most expensive cricket non smart phones ?
I have been wondering the same thing ever since I got mine for a Mother’s Day present! There are much better phones out there that seem to cost way less! The features are not even all that great and I have not found many websites (that are not commercial) that have any additional info on them either.
