Nokia 8210

I have found this phone to be Slim and light, with excellent design the phone fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. you can send and receive pictures to and from other Nokia mobile i have the phone in my hand and will descibe it as best as i can. ~~
the phone fetures a main menu with the selections of:

1) messages. which contains inbox, outbox, write messages, picture messages, the message settings, fax or data call, service command editor and voice messages. this allows you to write your messages and read received ones and store them.

2) call register: which has missed calls, received calls, dialled numbers,erase recent call lists and show call duration. this shows you all you want to know about all the calls you have made and received.

3) profiles: headset, general, silent, meeting, outdoor and one that you can personalise for yourself. when you personalise your on profile you can choose what ringtone and message sound you want along with loads of other choices

4) settings: this contains the alarm clock, clock settings, time and date settings meaning wether you want it to be automaticly updated, call settings, phone settings, security settings and restore factory settings. you can make it so that the clock or the date can be shown on the screen of hidden off the screen.

5) games: including memory, snake, logic and rotation.memory is a game that you have so meny squares and you have match the pictures on the cards but they are scattered round the board and you have to remember where they are, to make the pairs. on the snake game you have to feed the snake with food but if you hit any part of its body while you are turning to get the food the game is over, you do get mazes to play with as well. i think this it one of the most common games played. the logic game is you have four different symbols and you have to findout which places they have been put in and the right order. the rotation game is a set of numbers that are rotated and you have to rotate them back round in order to get them back in the right order

6)calculator with this you can use the addition, subtraction, multiply, divide, domestic, foreign, exchange rates andthe equals. i can't say as i use this that much just when i go shopping.

7) calendar: with this you can store notes, meetings, birthdays or just reminders when you put a birthday in it will ask for the date of birth and then it will set to every year and it tells you the age of the person on the day it come up. which i found really handy because im usless with ages and date come to think of it.

8) infrared: this is activated as soon as you click on select, while this is activated it allows you to get other info, pictures and lots more off of a different phone aslong as the other phone has to infrared. i have used this a few times to get different ringtones of my mates phone simply because it is free. to get anything.

9)services: which contains personal bookmarks, operator services and nokia services these are all on the web and gives out whatever info you need.

10) information: this has the info on all sport, lifestyle and finance. if you sign up to them you will get a sms message every now and then telling you about news on whatever subject you have chosen.

well thats my whole phone scanned as you can see there is a wide selection of thing to look at
~~
the phone is really, really light you don't even know your holding it and it is so small it would fit in a babies coat pocket as i said (tiny)
~~
yo can get different picture messages for screensavers and you change the name of the profile so that instead of the normal name of the profile like silent or loud you can write your on personal message and that will be on the screen instead. you can also write your own personal greeting for when you turn your phone on when this happens the message that you have wrote will be the first thing to come on to the screen when it comes on.
~~
the phone has a large memory for both, phonebook and messages. when the memory is full in both of these you will get an onscreen message for the messages saying memory low. and on the phonebook when you try and save a number it will tell you that you have got to delete one other number first in order to save the new one.
~~
with sending messages you can send and receive both sms and picture messages and you can send them both aswell sending picture messages can cost upto 50p depending on the network you use and a normal message can cost from as low as 10p also depending on the network, you can get answer messages on the phone which will automaticly come up as a normal message you can dial the voice mail and this will cost from 10p no matter how long you are on for to free this again also depends on the network you use.
~~
with the calls you get a call logger which keeps note of the call times and the dialed calls, missed calls and the received. this is normaly in the main menu of the phone. you also get call waiting and call divert. you can set the divert so that it goes to a different number instead of your own
~~
you can buy these from most phone shops, ad-mag or even on ebay the cheapest i've seen them for is £30 and that was on ebay not that long ago.
~~
with a battery you get talk time up to 2hrs 15mins, the standby time is 55-170h and the time you need to put it on charge for is 7:-3h
with a (standard battery) you would get 3h 45min talk time but no standby time and would need to be charged for 8- 2h 10min.
~~
MY OPINION:
~~
Even though I've had to revert to this tiny little phone from a Motorola V600 with the works, I actually do like this one, I found I easy to get in to and really, really easy to use. the keys are close together which did make it easy to text, i did also find that when i rang out and people rang me the hearing was really clear. I would recommend this phone however with it being so small I have lost it a couple of times and I've only had it for a month or so.
