Well, its a nokia. That almost guarantees quality. It has the usual visual layout of the nokia phones, and the menu is the same as on past nokias. It has the usual nokia games, that do look better than on past models. It has a ring tone composer, and you can send and receive ring tones as well as operator logos that appear on the top of the screen.
The 3310 is extremely good looking, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. I know lots of people that feel the same way. The buttons have been precisely designed to be exactly the right size, and right distance apart, allowing extreme ease of use. The screen is perfect, not too small as on some alternative. The 'Hidden' aerial is also great, as it reduces the size dramatically, and doesnt dig into your leg when its in your pocket. Also the great feature of x-press on covers means that you can change the look of your 3310 for little more than £10.
The menu has all the usual Nokia Features, the 99 name phone book and the ability to send ant receive text and picture messages with the added predictive text input (which dramatically reduces the tedious length of time to write a text message). the is also the option for a text chat which means the message are delivered immediately. The call register option allows you to see the last ten calls made and received, to see any missed calls and to find your available credit. You can change or make up your own ring tones, as well as set different ring tones for different people. You can set up a PIN code to only allow you to use the phone and setup other security settings.
There are four games on the phone, snake 2, space impact, bantumi and pairs 2, all extremely addictive!!! There are also calculator, clock and stopwatch features aswell as reminders, that pop up and tell you to do whatever you may forget.
Its extremely strong and robust, standing up to the rough and tumble of everyday phone usage. there is also the benefit of the changeable covers which means that if you do have an accident and scrath or break the cover, you can alwats buy a new one.
The vibrating alert is extremely useful if you find yourself in a situation where noise from the phone will disrupt whatever you are doing (such as a meeting). It notifies you whenever someone is calling you, or when you have received a text message, and does it very descretely.
The supplied battery gives between 2hours and 4 hours talk time, between 60 and 250 hours standby and takes about 4 hours to recharge fully. Other accessories can be brought for the 3310, including longer lasting batteries, the x-press on covers, headsets, seperate battery chargers, and car hands-free kits.
It can be bought on any pay as you go network for £100 and also can be got for free on contract. If you do get it on pay as you go, you need to buy top up vouchers, and it also has £5 credit already on it.
I have had no problems with my 3310, neither has anyone i know. It does its job superbly, and i havent regretted spalshing out the princely sum of £100. The overall combination of its stylish design, its amazing ease of use and its incredible list of features make this phone far superior to any other. Anyone who is considering buying a new phone and can afford £100 should get this. i may sound like a nokia salesman, but i honestly beleive is is the best phone on the market.
I strongly recommend that you consider buying this marvellous phone, as it is by far the best on the market. words cant describe how good it actually is. both me and my friends agree that this is definately worth buying, and is sheer brilliance. alternatives such as the motorola V2288 and the nokia 3210 dont even come close to this.
I hope this review has helped you make up your mind, and that you will consider buying this phone.
