I've owned a Nokia 8310 for nearly a year now and have found it to be one of the most reliable and dependable phones i've ever had.
I've been through my fair share of phones, starting from the old nokia 5110, to the sony z5, motorola v50, nokia 3310, sony ericsson t68i and the new motorola v600, which i sold. But although you might think some of the other phones i mentioned are better because they may take pictures, or can make funny noises with their polyphonic ring tones, the Nokia 8310 soley as a phone rates highly.
Firstly the size and weight of the phone make it desirable, and at the same time not being too small you cant see the buttons. Also you can change the covers of the phone to suit your taste.
The features are excellent, you have everything you expect from a nokia, including a built in FM radio, wap browser, calender, reminders, excellent large capacity phone book, and the best thing i think is the capacity of being able to store loads of text messages, i hate phones which store 10 then flash that the inbox is full. With the 8310 you can store loads of messages, and also arrange them into your own folders, excellent!
The phone also has a built in infrared connection, so you can connect to you PC or laptop with it, and also has an excellent display on the screen with a cool white light effect.
All round theres not much you can fault this phone on, its durable, stylish, small and light and at the same time packed with features like mentioned above, also includeing games, currency converter and calculator. The phone also dual band so you can use it abroad, what more could you ask for!
The 8310 i have is unlocked for all networks and i currently use it on o2 pay as you go. To buy it brand new offline on its own might seem slightly pricy still, but there are plenty of good quality second hand ones around, and because you can change the facia on it, a new facia will make your phone look as goos as new!
If you get the opportunity and your not too sure whether to get the 8310, trust me, buy it, you won't be dissapointed!!!!!

You're right, just cause a phone has a camera doesn't mean it's better. I wouldn't use it anyway. But how much is the phone? Is it contract or pay as you go? What are the tariffs like, etc.
