NEC e636 - User Reviews

  • Look up. They cancelled it!.. Finally!

  • Shame on NEC, they better cancel it! Sleek looking phone, but old specs will not do.

  • Yeah also had that, read that it was comming soon in 2006. I still like the design, it just great!, but the features are old and not updated, so i guess that is the problem

  • yes, very nice looking phone. Sometimes it seems to me that persons who are doing mob.design they do not have any idea of what looks good and what not;)

  • How soon is it coming? Imagine since 2006!!! MAY BE IT FLOPPED!!!

  • coming soon from February 2006!

  • very beutiful mobail

  • Plain, Thin and Simple; A nice phone indeed.

  • I really like this mobile! Looks like one you would see in Japan.

  • butt ugly! xD

  • i love this phone!!! awesome!!!

  • What is soon?!!!!

  • I think it is kinda ugly though..

  • I believe it is going to reach us, eventually, hopefully before the end of this century....

  • ummm,not really- announced 2006......which was err only last year

  • Is the phone ever coming out, its been "coming soon" for a few years now

  • Has this phone been cancelled? Haven't heard any more about it and it certainly hasn't been released anywhere, not even Japan.

  • Here is a pic of the back. The camera lense is in the black section.

  • It has two cameras. One on the inside and one on the outside on the back.

  • to mickyfree..i think it has 'another'(as in ur case) camera at the back..check this website out--->http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/02/20/nec-e636-3g-umts-cellphone/

  • where's the camera?is it in the inside?please nec..redo it..put the camera at the back...i 1 ths

  • hello.i'm confused by the pics shown.is the right one is the silver n the right one is the black?or are they the same body?cuz the right pic doesnt seem to b tht slim like the left pic..

  • mates, NEC got lots of goody phones and their price is much more cheaper. hope one day we get them in Aus

  • When is it coming out? (T_T) I love this design so much!!!

  • havent used the phone but i hope it's as good as it sounds.Anybody who's used it,pls can u list it's capabilities???????

  • A really stylish looking phone . I am dealing with design and that's one of the few phones that I would by at this time (actually they are only 2 , a Phillips and this one). Design voting result of 7.2 ? Forget it - that's not a design vote but a favourite brand vote maybe . People , at least be honest when giving your opinion! And another think - how long will this phone be "comming soon" ?!?! At the end that's the most important one isn't it ?! It is boring and annoying to sit and watch a phone that is "cooming soon" for ages .If NEC thinks it is not worth putting it on the market then cancle it . I think differently though - they should make a best seller out of it though ,And make it soon ! I have flare for this things ;)

  • Hi, Can anyone who has this phone tell me about the sound quality during conversations. I had a NEC525 in the past and the reception was always sounded tinny and faint. I would like to give NEC another chance if it functions as well as Motorola or Nokia. Thanks.

  • Now how long does it take to bring out a phone these days? This one will be way out of date by the time it reaches customers. I would have gotten it earlier this year if it were available. But there are just too many phones that would offer better value and functions with equally stylish looks. Not impressed at all. Is NEC going the same way Mitsubishi went...downhill?

  • IN my opinion this is a great phone.when i saw this phone i said:whowww!!i want it i need this phone!!it's look great.do you heard about nokia??me neither :))

  • nec phones is one of the best phones in the world,i have nec 3 e313 am looking for nec e636 to buy.because nec e636 have bluetooth an other facilities is good for driving.if they can send some for me to buy.thank you,i am nec customer help me to get one in ghana and i will be first man to get some

  • @ Abu ====== LOL, what if you drive a BMW and a Lexus? This phone has got style and beats NOKIA by miles in design! I'm a proud owner of a 903SH, I couldn't complain as it is one of the best. But if you're after something different, go the e636! I haven't seen something so sleek in a long time. It definatelly stands out! Harlekkin

  • According to Harlekkin u shud knw wot ur talkin about, cos, like lexus being a poormans mercedes, i can suggest, jus maybe if ppl agree to me, the NEC ur choice of a fone is only for style ppl.. u better get style urself 1st... aight...

  • @ Oushh ========= To get a few things straight: This phone has got STYLE. Unlike NOKIA & SE which are just chunky phones for everyone, this phone has STYLE and can only be owned by people with STYLE. Get my point? Go buy a Nokia... Harlekkin

  • I want to download nec ringtone software.

  • I have been using an nec e808 for almost 3yrs.its performance and hardware excellent. No problem sofar. Now I am trying to buy this beautiful nec e636. Can anybody tell me from where I can buy it. thanks and regds. Rasheed (from Maldives)

  • No MP3-s? whata top phone can it be...and it does`nt look good. NOKIA, Sony-e, Motorola,benq-s and samsung - those are OK phones all others just tryang to cach them

  • its so thin you can carry it in your wallet. down fall is you might try swiping it at the bank.

  • @ Mickyfree Look closer...turn it around. Most Japanese handsets have the camera built-in on the BACK of the phone, as where most European models have it installed on the front cover. It's definatelly there, check out some other pics off google! detail.zol.com.cn/picture_index_35/index343721.s­html (put the http:// before the above line) cheers, Harlekkin

  • if you notice, the only camera is the one on the inside (bottom right hand corner of the inside screen). Meaning only video calling and self pictures can be taken. Other than that it's a slick phone.

  • woow ..there are people whoa actualy buy this phones ... and don't regret it

  • I actually thought the phone was out...I almost sold my NEC e338...cant wait!I'm sure I m going to be among the first to buy the phone...Seriously waiting.

  • is a very good phone

  • Best of all Phones.

  • I agree, my old NEC e616 was a great phone, but quality wise just not that durable. Firmware & hardware problems and bad reception and battery life on top of that... Hopefully this one will be better! Skater42

  • I'm a 3G user, I used Nec 3g handset 3 times in the past, & they all had problems with them (e313, e606, e616) I don't think this will be better... I can only say it's a nice design, but it wouldn't be good performance from my experience with Nec phones... Pat

  • Well, the design of this mobile is the most beautiful I have ever seen! I CAN VOTE IT 10/10 simply beautiful,elegant,very manly! just I hope the performance is great too! cheers! EXCELENT JOB NEC!

  • no mp3

  • Dis phone is eximious!!

  • super flat, super original, super cool.

  • I think this phone is no good.. but hey.. I am a Nokia and SE dealer, so who am I to judge?! I mean.. I'm already wondering why am I posting here!.. Wird huh?

  • Desgin for NEC is getting more beautiful. It so slim, wondering where can I get this phone from. Don't know in singapore can get it? Wondering the price isn't high. NEC e636, I'm waiting.... Anyone know when is coming out, can post out let me know. And also where can I get it & how much isn't. Thanks.

  • this phone is fly.

  • OH yes il av me 1 of these very nice this is something to kick motorolas failed v3 series in gear, this will ROCK

  • Where is the handsfree feature?

  • Now this is design and work put into a piece of art. I hoped those big shot phone companies can buck up on their design.

  • Great phone - shame no WLAN... Can't find any info on when this baby is going to be released. Does anyone have a clue on what Nec's plans are? Thanks

  • Nice, the basic characteristic I want is slim and good to carry. Does anyone know what is the marketing time of this cellphone ?

  • wow..this is yet the best phone i have ever seen..well..everything is good..except for the price i guess...how much wut u guyz think the price will be..like..around..500-600 Canadian?..

  • Haseeb dont compare Nec Vs V3.! V3 is a poor phone,dont compare.Nec is an advanced, and thinner 3G phone . br

  • This just so happens to look like the V3 wow but is better.I would buy it its a nice phone but just saying it stole the V3 look.

  • the best phone eva, so cooooooooooooooooooooool and jst like to add e1 poops on e2

  • heseeb,what are u talking about??? this is not a copy of the v3,this is the future of mobilephones,they will become thinner!! and so what if motorola made the first thin clamshell,does that mean that nobody should ever make such phones? cause then someone like u might come and say that they are a copy of the v3!!!! please man grow up!

  • I think its a nice phone...... but i think its clearly a copy of motorola V3 well... whtever u say, its not an original idea........

  • I hope it will be available very soon in Denmark. It will be my next aquisition.

  • best design ever from NEC, waiting 4 this phone ..........

  • Outstanding phone - amazing design and good features. Is so thin - motorola v3x won't be match for this 636 :) Planned to take motorola v3i and now waiting for this :) Just curiuos about final release and price :)

  • cool phone! I wonder if this phone will be available here in the philippines... looking forward to buy one if i find one.

  • What memory card does this phone take?

  • It is so much sexy and classic,when we can bye it.

  • Good on you NEC. Your design is getting much much better...and support card slot as well.. ..ai laikit alot!

  • Can't wait till I get my hands on these phone! truongn2

  • yes this is good phone good balance of style and substance feature packed and futuristic design i like this phone

  • For more pix:

  • Wow, I'm using a NEC L1 now, dropped a couple of times and still works fine, battery is fine....and has gotten use to the flat buttons. So, I'm for NEC's new phones. Most probably, I'm gonna upgrade to this phone, much better features! Well done, NEC.

  • Nice phone, Slim and Performance is great. Might of planing getting this phone is they have this phone nearby my home

  • Agree with you 'Skater42'. All these new thin phones should come with Auto or semi-Auto push botton open mechanism like the Nokia 6131 and a few other phones.

  • i think this is the final release! enjoy all

  • after the E616v this beauty slim-umts is the better phone i have seen. more words for what .. is NEC !

  • I like big.... ============== The current trend of super-sexy slim phones is really attractive, but on the other hand I find a lot that bothers me. I mean, it's thin, but is it easy to open? I've got quite large hands and usually the thinner, the easier it slips out of my hand. I defend the view that good cameras need good lenses, and this can't be guaranteed with phones that are 13mm in overall height. But I guess the camera isn't the main selling point here. I AM really impressed that it is UMTS and so slim, that's simply beautiful! 7/10 from me! Skater42

  • heads down! this is a fabulous fone!!!

  • wow, amazing phone. I was going to buy L1 but maybe i will wait. The question is when it will come to Europe. One year? More?

  • Hot hot hot

  • Great specifications and great design... If the price is in the same "level"... This phone may have a "great" future....

  • Does anyone know when it is going to be in the market??? I want it so bad!

  • This is beautiful phon...

  • Wow... NEC is on the right track with the new designs. When these phones are released on the market, it's gonna sell like crazy! don't ya think? I recon these new models may boost NECs market share and might actually beat SonyEricson who's 4th at the moment (after Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and SonyEricson)

  • I love the extremely clean design. The interior seemed a little odd at first, but it sure has grown on me.
