After having problems with my mobile phone I was offered the Nokia 3100 on Vodafone pay as you go.

I'd seen it advertised everywhere, but didn't know a lot about the phone itself only that the cover glowed in the dark!

When I was talked through what the phone does, it sounded brilliant!

The outer cover (ice blue is mine) glows in the dark. You just put the phone under a lamp or strong light for 15 mins which charges the glow bit and voila!

The keypad lights up and will rhymically flash in time with the designated ring tone/alarm etc.

As with all Nokia phones menus are very much similar I found to my old 3310.

Messages menu - where (on this model) you can send SMS messages as well as multimedia messages. This phone doesn't have a camera but can receive pictures

Call register - see what calls you missed, made or list all of them

Contacts - this is basically phone numbers that you have stored

Profiles - set how you want your phone to react on General, Silent or Loud. Personalise ring tones, message tones etc.

Settings - this is the part of the phone where you can personalise wallpaper, ring tones etc. You can also download further ring tones, wallpaper and screen savers via WAP.

Alarm Clock - as it states.

Gallery - this is where you store your downloads. You can delete, rename and organise tones, wallpapers, everything you've downloaded.

Calendar - set reminders for appointments, birthdays etc. along with an alarm

Games - comes with 3 Java games, Bowling, Beach Rally and Snake EX2. Other Java enabled games can be downloaded via WAP.

Applications - Lets you manage and use applications that have been downloaded to your phone

Extras - has a calculator, countdown timer and stopwatch

Services - this is your WAP connection

Go to - this is a shortcut menu to such other menus as Inbox, missed calls, you can personalise it to how you want it.

Vodafone - this is the service of whatever network provider you are with

Overall I have found this phone to be fun to look at and very easy to use. You can buy covers to suit your mood and gaming covers. Nokia also make a radio headphone set which you plug into your phone to turn it into a radio.

They retail in the shops (I got mine from The Link) for around £79.99. Sounds expensive but its well worth it!

Nokia is one of the world's largest mobile phone retailers and this is one of their best models yet.
