Nokia 3660 Phone Review

Quote from the review:

“The Nokia 3660 runs Symbian OS Series 60 with all the usual accoutrements. That includes a, XHTML capable browser and an e-mail client that speaks both POP3 and IMAP4, as well as assorted smaller programs and utilities. Multimedia viewing is provided by an included RealOne player.

The main draws for this phone in particular are mostly based off of the camera, which, despite its lack of a flash, offers very good picture quality as well as video recording capability. Images look washed out and grainy on the phone’s screen, but once transfered to a better display are surprisingly crisp.

As with many Series 60 phones, the 3660 includes an MMC slot to supplement the included 16 MB of RAM, tucked neatly away underneath the battery, thus requiring a power-down to exchange it. When used more as a hard disk than exchangeable storage it works well enough, but power users may be annoyed by it. Naturally the phone also includes Bluetooth support with a healthy set of profiles. Included softare includes the usual set of PIM apps. “

According to a fresh investigation, the hiring practices at the Foxconn unit that assembles iPhones in India discriminated against married women, citing reasons like women “have babies after marriage” and “many issues post-marriage.”

Reuters visited the company’s plant in Sriperumbudur over 20 times in just over a year, speaking to former employees and candidates seeking to work at these plants. The news outlet also got access to recruitment documents and other related material. What reporters came across was a stunning tale of discrimination against married women.
