This handset is one of its kind. Nokia have taken the market by storm, this handset is still in great demand. That is no surprise, Its sleek style, attractive looks one you could not resist. Charcoal Grey with a blue illumination which stands out in the dark. Small silver buttons on the keypad which also illuminate. Active flip. The screen shows a Logo at the front, you can have the keypad locked or it shows menu names at the bottom of the screen. Time at the top right hand corner if you have activated this.
The Menu path is as follows: When the flip is brought down the keybad lock automatically comes off. When the flip is brought back up you can lock the keypad with the top keys. The handset can be used without opening the flip. The keypad lock can be taken off and you are able to go through your phonebook and dial numbers.
Messages: Inbox, Outbox, Write messages, Picture Messages, Message Settings, Info Service, Fax or data call, Service Command Editor and Voice messages.
Call Register: Missed calls, Dialled Calls, Received Numbers, Dialled Numbers, Erase recent call Lists, Shoe Call Duration, Show call cost and Call cost Settings. Profiles: Silent, Meeting, Outdoor, Pager and General.
Settings: Alarm Clock, Clock, Auto Update of date and time, Call Settings, Phone Settings, Security Settings and Restore Factory Settings. Call Divert: Divert all calls without ringing, Divert when Busy, Divert when not answered, Divert when phone off and no coverage, Divert all fax calls, Divert all data calls, Cancel all Diverts.
Games: Memory, Snake, Logic, Rotation. This handset also has a calculator, Calender and Infrared Port.
It weighs 91g, matte aluminium Covers, voice dialling, predictive text and built in modem which supports transfer rate of 9.6 bps. Talk time is approx 3 Hours and standby approx 100 Hrs.
This phone is packed with many features. You can dowload your own ringtones and Logos hence personalising it to your taste. 250 names can be stored in the phone book of the phone, and 250 on the sim, which is sim dependant. Add upto 50 Calender Notes. 8 numbers can be stored for Voice dialling, It comes with 35 rintones stored and you are able to download and store 5 personal ones. Illuminated high-contrast, full-graphics display
The only downside I have found to this handset is the size of the buttons, if you have big fingers beware as it easy to press two buttons at one time. As they have an internal ariel, reception is not as good as you would find on other phones. 3330 I find has better reception than the 8850.

Good op. I had this phone for a while and thought it was fantastic and one of a kind, although it was very brittle and broke easily so i had to get rid.
