Look, Design, Feel (7/10)
Ok, this is no innovative presentation from Nokia. Before this one popped up, there were similar phones doing rounds in the market, Sonim being more prominent. While this may be true, the Nokia 3720 classic notches up one extra point for its look. It doesn't look like a walkie talkie but a phone made to make calls, text messages and click photos. The design is a cliche of Nokia with smoothed edges, rounded rectangle D pad and comfy to hold handset. At first glance, you wouldn't realise that this phone is built with a distinct purpose in life.

It comes with an improbable attribute of a 2.2 inch display with Qvga resolution readable in direct sunlight. Since the handset probably would be used a lot more outdoors, the screen is scratch resistant. Raised boundaries furnish a little help to the screen so it doesn't touch the surface. Raised buttons act fine while texting, but the volume rocker on the side could test your patience levels.
There are some very tiny yet leading distinctions differentiating quarterly Nokia phones from the 3720. It's the battery cover tightly held back with a screw so that dust or water doesn't trickle through. Similarly even the microUsb ports and audio jack are covered except for the charger port that remains exposed all the time.
Features (7/10)
The 3720 classic runs on the S40 user interface common to many Nokia users. Hence, it won't be so difficult to deal with the pilotage apps and are thoroughly easy to control even for novices. Multimedia features are the regulars consisting of the music player, Fm Radio with Rds, video recording and 2 megapixel with a 4x digital zoom, Led flash camera. Opera Mini, one of the suitable browsers on all Nokia phones, provides efficient browsing. However, not every particular one gives its optimum best. Whilst the camera clicks decent photos, the video recording highlight leaves a bad memory behind. Except for the Mms it's a worthless inclusion. Even the video playback is not worthy mentioning.
The 3720 classic has received an Ip54 certification meaning it protects itself from water and dust only till a little time and amount. It's a phone not an iron rod. With time, all the focal features will start losing their sheen. An exquisite example would be the scratch unyielding screen. Sadly, as the charger port is open to natural elements, the water resistance highlight is not applicable here and ultimately even this one will die a silent death. Though all this factors stand to be true, the phone does offer a great deal of safety through its rubberized body.
Connectivity (6/10)
The phone supports Edge connectivity particularly stacking lightweight browsing and emails. It is not supportive of image heavy web images and downloads. The 2.0 micro Usb connects you to external electronic devices whilst the 2.1 Bluetooth will pair similar devices. Unfortunately, the phone fails to keep 3G.
Performance (8/10)
Nokia 3720 classic is advised for extreme conditions, but sadly it is a phone with a little shelf life. It protects itself from harsh situations and materials, except from those intentionally hammered at it. The call ability is excellent, perhaps best than phones categorized as 'normal'. Voices are clearly heard on both sides with no background hindrances. According to the Finnish firm the battery life is as tough as the exterior providing up to 7 hours of continuous talk time and 19 days of stand by time.
Value for Money (8/10)
Weighing its pros and cons, the Nokia 3720 classic is a likeable phone. Sincerely it stands up to its durability tests and proves its mettle. Features wise, it's a easy phone with classic multimedia features, though not all are up to the mark. Nevertheless, inspecting it's a phone made for distinct conditions with a not so flashy price tag, it's worth a try.
If you are beyond doubt into these types of phones, Sonim industry best products with 3 year
unconditional warranty. It is inbuilt with hi end features, however at a higher price than the 3720.
