Full review
As far as mobile phones go, I have always been a user of Nokia models. Whilst many people seem to prefer the Ericsson models, I have always found that the Nokia phones are functional, relatively smart and easy to use. The menu options are intuitive and easy to follow, and the latest models have more than enough features to keep the average user happy.
The phone I have been using for about six months now is the Nokia 3310. The 3310 is one of the most common Nokia models at the moment, targeted mainly at young users who want a smart, funky phone that's got plenty of gimmicks. For me, the 8210 was simply too small - I have quite large hands, and was unable to get used to the tiny dimensions of the handset.
The Handset ==========
The phone sits perfectly in my hand, and is just the right size. The handset is obviously heavier than the 8210, but lighter than it's predecessor, the 3210, and has a snug, smooth, contoured feel in the palm of your hand. When I first received the phone, I found that the back of the case was quite difficult to remove, and in the end I had to resort to brute force and ignorance even though I followed the instructions in the accompanying booklet. The number keys are a good size, and the display screen is clear and uncluttered.
One thing I really don't like about the handset is the on/off button, which is a long grey button situated on top of the phone. Firstly, only half of the button actually depresses and turns the phone on and off. Secondly, the leather case for the phone completely covers up the button, which means you have to open the case every time you want to turn the phone on and off.
Additionally, when I am using the telephone I have found it very difficult to get used to using the up and down keys for adjusting the volume. The buttons are found beneath the screen, on the front of the phone, which means that they are pressed against your cheek whilst you are making a call. I therefore tend to find that when I am on a call I have to quickly look down at the phone and press the buttons up or down. The 8210 had this function on the side of the handset, which meant it was much easier to adjust the volume during a call. Locking the handset is enabled in the same manner as other Nokia phones through the menu button and star button.
The handset is very durable, even without it's leather case. I have dropped/hurled the phone a number of times, without causing damage. The fashion conscious mobile phone user can purchase press-on covers for the phone, but there is no tailored hands-free kit or in-car charger - the 3210 and 6210 versions can be used instead.
Making a Call ==========
As with all Nokia phones, the display screen indicates the strength of signal, as well as the battery power remaining. The Phone Book is the first option in the on-screen menu which means that locating a stored number is very simple. Additionally, each of the keys 1 to 9 can be set up as a speed dial number, which means that making a call is always very simple. I have yet to get used to the Call Waiting function, which notifies you if another caller is trying to call you whilst you are on the phone - I tend to have to refer to the menu options on the screen to work out how to switch between calls. The up and down arrows also enable you to quickly refer to the last 20 numbers that you dialled, and make a repeat call if necessary.
The Phone Book ============
The 3310's phone book offers a number of useful features. As well as storing names and numbers, you can assign an individual ring tone to each member of the guest book. This is a particularly useful feature for me, because if I leave my phone in a different room of the house I can tell who is calling (and whether I want to get off my arse to go and answer it!). You can also tailor how the names and numbers appear on the screen (i.e. Name list, Name then number, large font). Assigning speed dials to each of the number buttons is also managed via the phone book. The most radical feature of the phone book however is the voice tag function. By recording a voice tag, you can then associate the voice tag with one of the numbers in your phone book. If you are in a hurry, or make loads of calls to one person then this can be a useful feature. To make a call using a voice tag, you simply hold down the menu key, repeat the tag after the tone (e.g. Sexy Pants) and then the phone will search for that voice tag - once found the phone will then dial up the number for you. I have a couple of voice tags saved - and the system does work, but it's probably too gimmicky for 99% of users.
Messages =======
Text messages have become a particularly popular pastime for the bored youth of today - I must confess that I often sit on the train if I'm bored and send my friends text messages because it's a bit more subtle than shouting into the handset. The 3310 handset offers a considerable range of messaging features - voice and text.
I find typing text messages a relatively clumsy thing to do, but I definitely find the 3310 the easiest of all the handsets I've tried. Initially, I thought the thing was crap because it kept using predictive text messaging - i.e. when you key in one or two letters it tries to predict the word you want to type. I then found I could turn this off in the options menu (d'oh!) and was ok from there onwards. You have up to 459 characters to each message (which is quite a lot), but you also have the option to send picture messages (pointless unless the receiver has a compatible phone). It's also worth bearing in mind that a picture message actually comprises several text messages - so it might cost more than a standard text message to send.
When the phone receives a text message you will automatically be prompted to read it - if you don't erase it, you may then come back and access it from the Message menu. I find text messages particularly useful if I am in transit and I need a phone number or a figure but don't have a pen to hand - once on the phone, you can come back and look at them when it suits you. Another practical feature is the function for using Templates - stored messages such as "Phone Me" - that you can save time by using.
The 3310 also contains a rather pointless Chat function, which is essentially an exchange of text messages between two people (and is charged accordingly). The only reason it is referred to as chat is because you give yourself a nick name, and the replies are all shown on the screen (as per a chat room) - a feature that I seldom use.
Ring Tones ========
Where would a review of a modern mobile phone be without a discussion about the handset's ring tones? The 3310 has about 40 ring tones (including space for five of your own) - most of them are quite standard to the Nokia range and probably very familiar to anyone who regularly uses a train. You can also compose your own (if you're really bored) and adjust the volume (which obviously goes unknown to all the people who sit near me on the train).
Other customisable features include changing the message alert tone that notifies you of a text message, adjusting volume and activating key pad tones and choosing the tone that you want to hear if your battery is about to die. It's also worth noting that the phone can be adjusted to vibrate when you receive a text message or call.
Other Features ==========
There are four different games to play (none of them terribly interesting, but then I din't buy the phone to play games on). The phone can also be used as a calculator - this has been enhanced to enable a simple currency conversion although I have always found this feature rather cumbersome.
Reminders - this is a simple system whereby you can programme the phone to save short text notes to remind you of key dates and times. I have never used this function as my phone is often switched off - I tend to use other means of time management!
The phone can also be used as an alarm clock, which is a feature that I often use, either at home or when I am away. The alarm rings at the same volume as your ring tone, so you can set it to be less distressing than a conventional alarm clock - you also have the added benefits of the snooze function.
I am generally very happy with this phone - I'm not swayed by gimmicks and gizmos on mobile phones and require a phone that does the basics competently, which the 3310 certainly does. The battery gives a good 24 hours stand-by time - but I have had to replace my battery once in the last six months.
I cannot really fault this phone for value for money, and range of features - my only criticism would probably be that everybody seems to have one!!

...is the 390th op on Nokia 3310's!!
I have recently purchased my second Nokia 3310 mobile. My first one has had it’s day, and has finally died on me. I’m not the most careful person in the world, and sometimes things just ‘break’. I’ve had a 3310 for about a year. My first one was bought directly from a mobile phone shop.

The Nokia 3310 is 11cms in length and just under 5cms wide. It is 2cms deep and weighs in at 133g. It is quite heavy now, compared to some of the smaller lighter phones that are available. Although not quite a brick. The phone has quite a standard and simple appearance. There are numbered/lettered keys on the front and up/down/cancel/select keys above these, which is the same as most mobile phones on the market. The back of the phone ...

Advantages: Tons of handy features, light, compact, affordable Disadvantages: May be a little "outdated" for some, fiddly fascia covers
...I thought when my ancient Nokia phone finally bit the dust this month. It had such “shameful” features as a big external aerial and one of those dodgy slip case things that collected more dust than an ornament in an old folk’s home. My sad old bell had well and truly, um, ended. So it was off to Carphone Warehouse to get a new ringing device…I was a tad concerned that they would just fix my knackered old model, and was secretly hoping they’d just ... ...all flowery about things), which Nokia recommend you do not paint. Humbug! The standard one is a pretty dull dark blue, which I plan on defacing as soon as possible! As long as you take ‘em off the phone before you do it, customising your phone can be a pretty fun project – don’t listen to those corporate swines! They just want you to buy an official “fascia” though chances are you’ll do the same as my girlfriend and go to the market to get one. ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: A bit dated now
The Nokia 3310 is a little bit dated now, with all the new technology and gadgets on newer mobile phones. However, I have had three of these so far, and am still using the third. (Just to make it clear it wasn't the fault of the phone that I had to replace it, more the fact that my destructive three year old sone thinks mobiles can swim!!)
Mobile phone prices vary a lot, and my first Nokia 3310 was bought for £120 on Orange pay as you go from Carphone ... ...most recent Nokia 3310 was bought for £79 on Virgin from Phones4U in Stevenage.
This model is a good size for handbags and pockets. My first mobile was like a house brick, so I really appreciate having a more compact and conveinient one. You can now get mobiles that are a lot smaller, but I would find these fiddly and difficult to use.

The are different categories in the phone's menu. I will go through these in order.

Advantages: Basic Functions compatible Disadvantages: Out Of Touch with modern world
...going back in time. The nokia 3310. Its place in today's market makes it feel out dated, but there is bound to still be a few in use even as i write this. I was given one about 5 years ago (I had my first mobile phone 4 days after my 16th birthday, which wasn't a nokia at all). Yes, the features are extremely limited. This really makes the phone seem out of touch with the modern world. Yet for people who really only need to make phone calls or send ... ...only an advance on the Nokia 3210s Snake 1, where this one can go through the walls. Space Impact, a difficult game to master all the buttons to instantly, it really doesn't take too long to complete. Bantumi, for challenging the thinking, but that is really quite simple too, and also a version of pairs. 9) Calculator - what do you think you can do here? The very basics. Add, Multiply, Subtract, and Divide. Wow. Exhilerating. Really. (sarcasm should ...

Advantages: Small,easy to carried and kept in the pocket,lots of future and user friendly. Disadvantages: Small screen 1.8 inch 176 x 220, no memory expansion, camera cmos 0.3 megapixel and loose navigation key
...The reason I put the title this way is because in Malaysia, k700i are so popular like Nokia3310 when it's first time launch. K700i only sell for about RM699 for new phone and RM350 for second hand. And if you convert it to pound sterling it sounds very cheap.
K700i comes with a whole lots of feature that you could never have imagined would be built into such a small frame. It continues in the new Sony Ericsson concept of having the phone in front, while the back looks exactly like a small digital camera with only the lens and the flash apparent.
It was first announced on the 9th of March, 2004. I think its only best future is camera button.Only a touch is required to bring up the camera and video function.The quality of images shot is, of course its not so clear compare to Carl Zeiss lens.

Advantages: Packed with features and great games Disadvantages: No Infra-red and modem, which makes it harder to connect to your PC
...The Nokia 3330 just looks identical to the 3310, so what is the difference, and is it worth paying the extra for?
Nokia brought this phone out not that far long after the 3310. The 3310 was still lukewarm from the production line, and out popped the 3330, but why? Well one main reason was that this Nokia had WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), which was really first tested on the Nokia 7110, but with a lot of problems, as this phone had to be recalled because of teething problems on the WAP side. The 3330 and the 6210 were launched at around the same time. The Nokia 3330 being aimed at the 16 - 25 year old market, and the 6210 at the older and more prudent user who needed the advanced features like infra red, built in modem etc.
This phone weighs in at 133 gms with the standard battery, and meisures up at 113 x 48 x 22 mms...

What is it that gives each of us our individual characters? Our lifestyles maybe, our style and our personalities, our interests, or maybe our backgrounds and the way we express ourselves. The Nokia 3310 has been created with our differences in mind. In fact, it's one of the most individual mobile phones around. What you choose to make of it is entirely up to you. Have more fun with text messages on Nokia 3310. The cool new chat feature lets you talk using messages with your friends and family, while keeping track of the whole conversation. On the other hand, if you have a little bit more to say, Nokia 3310 makes it easy by automatically connecting up to three text messages - giving you plenty of space to get the message across. Add a personal touch to your messages with a smiley. Nokia 3310 has a store of built-in smiley templates to help you put some passion in your messages. Mobile gaming is simply electrifying with Nokia 3310. The new vibra feature makes the phone vibrate at critical moments in gameplay - so you'll know when you've been blasted by aliens in the cool Space Impact game, or when you hit the walls in Snake II! Of course, if you prefer more sedate action, there is always Bantumi and Pairs II. With the reminder function of Nokia 3310 you can save up to ten reminders so you will always know where you need to be and when to be there. You can move reminders around, edit them, erase them, or even forward one to a friend. With all these features, what more could you need? How about voice dialing - just say the name and Nokia 3310 will dial the number! Or maybe predictive text input to make messaging easier? Or picture messages to liven up your text messages? Nokia 3310 includes all of these as standard - elegantly wrapped in a stylish design.
