I have noticed that many people have made comments on the 3210. They say it is sexy, cool, has loads of features blah blah blah.....
OK this is the real story. I say this as someone who has used many mobile phones and am generally up-to-date with 'stuff'!
Advantage 1 Looks lovely - the express-on covers allow the phone to be tailored to your taste. Disadvantages of 1 The price tags of the covers are quite high (@ £20 each) which will only allow the average person to have one or two covers. You can buy cheaper covers NOT made by Nokia, but be warned these do not fit properly and you get annoying dust particles on the inside of the screen.
Advantage 2 No aerial- lovely no more pokes in the ribs etc. Disadvantages of 2 The reception suffers due to the lack of aerial. The phone does actually have an aerial but it is a different design to the standard aerials and is housed in the actual phone.
Advantage 3 The interface and features are great. Loads of features to keep you busy. Ringtone composer, calculator, animations, picture messaging, predictive text messaging. Disadvantages of 3 The prdictive text messaging needs some getting used to. There are only limited (3) pictures that can be used to send as picture messages.
Advantage 4 Size - the small design and buttons make it a very discrete phone.
Overall the phone seems to be great- or so it seems!!! I know of many people who have bought the phone and had loads of problems with it. Mainly reception and the fact that the phone packs up after a while.
It seems to be very popular due to its sexy looks and express-on covers. The truth is that it is quite a poorly made phone. When you compare it to other Nokia models it doesn't seem to fit.
Anyone with the 3210 who is having problems should identify whether it is the service provider's fault or the phones. many people have no problems with it but the trend is that there are more and more people who are noticing its true colours.
