Nokia 3100

...my new mobile phone the Nokia 3100. I took receipt of the phone three weeks ago after requesting an update from Singlepoint as my Nokia 8210 was starting to look dated and very worn due to amount of punishment it had taken over the past 12 months. The phone cost me £19.99, but as it is a fairly new release from Nokia it does retail with most contracts from £100 - 150. My main attraction to the phone at first was the actual look, it has a colour ...
...features are standard across the Nokia range. The Nokia 3100 is a great looking phone. The picture above shows the white version. My 3100 is in light blue. Although the 3100 contains a lot of technology it is remarkably small measuring in at 10.19cm tall by 4.28cm wide making it just a fraction larger than the 8210. It only weighs in at 85g!!!! My only gripe about actual build and look of the phone are the covers. Although the plastic facia are ...

Review of Nokia 3100

...It had to be a nokia with similar operation to to 3310. 2. It had to have WAP. 3. It had to be on Vodafone, as I wanted to keep the same SIM card. 4. It had to cost significantly less than £100. So armed with these requirements I went shopping and found the 3100, on vodafone pay as you go (PAYG), on sale in Argos for the very reasonable price of £59.99 *************************** The Pakaging *************************** The phone came in ...
...so obviously its aimed at the party animals among us. With this being a vodafone PAYG this box was enveloped in a red sleeve with a picture of the actual phone on it. The sleeve displayed the following features of the phone: *Phone flashes in time with ringtone *Multimedia messaging *Java games *Animated screensavers *Handsfree speaker *Colour display *Can be used in five continents *************************** In the box *************************** ...

Review of Nokia 3100

I have had my Nokia 3100 for a few months now and am starting to get along nicely with it. I found it difficult at the beginning because I had upgraded to this phone from a nokia 3310, this phone I had had for about two years and I could work it quickly and easily. The reason that I wanted to upgrade my phone was because the 3310 is a bit dated now and newer phones have more functions to them. I was not really interested in getting a photo phone ...
...full level. OTHER FEATURES Nokia Xpress-on Gaming covers can be brought for about £9.99 and can be easily put on your phone to jazz it up a little bit. Hands free speaker - This is a great facility so that if you are driving you can put the phone onto the loud speaker and still be able to hear what people on the phone are saying. I have found the sound quality is very good on this mode. It comes across loud and clear. One thing to bear in mind ...

Review of Nokia 3100

I was given the Nokia 3100 as a Christmas present in 2004 and although this phone is now outdated and old in comparison to other mobiles it is still a good little phone. Its been dropped, stood on and well used over the past year or so and still does exactly what it is supposed to without a single problem or scratch. One of the things I like about this phone is its small and slinky stylish design. Measuring at 10.19cm tall and 4.28 cm wide it is ...
...have one downfall as the Nokia 3100 can only store up to 30 bookmarks which for someone like me who makes very good use of it, it is not enough. Go To This is a great feature to this phone, you can add Go To functions on this phone under the personal shortcuts option in the settings menu. You can add anything to it, from quick access to the alarm clock to bookmarks that you have saved in services. I have this saved as my right soft key on my keypad ...

Review of Nokia 3100

Review of Nokia 3100

My old trusty Siemens A50 is a great phone, but he was looking a bit tried and shoddy, and then some wonderful people offered me this baby for free, this makes me happy. Ok I am now signed up to a contract but it will work out cheaper as I was chucking in 30 quid worth of top ups a month, such is my popularity these days. Anyways onto the phone and like all phones it takes and makes phone calls. The speaker quality is good and since I never need ...
...in talking to myself in the good old fashioned way. The Address book works and you can group numbers and stuff into groups if you so desire. It takes text and multimedia messages (whatever they are), and one thing I don't like is that I have to download ringbones from the Internet, using the WAP facility this is potentially expensive. With my old Siemens phone it would come attached to the message and would be downloaded through that. The WAP facility ...

It is certainly sturdy and holds up quite well to physical abuse, albeit dropping on concrete pavements, tiled floors, in total the back only fell off once, and that was a pretty hefty drop. At 10cm x 4cm x 2cm its is even small enought for the ladies to have in those none existent handbags, and with the infamous changeable covers, you can even customise the phone to suit ...

Review of Nokia 3100

...'no advertising'?) revealed the lovely Nokia 3100 at £79.99, including text saver free, allowing me to send 5 free text messages a day for a year. I believe this offer has now been replaced with unlimited free text messages every weekend for 6 months. This was perfect for me, so I went ahead and ordered it (on a Monday). It was delivered on Friday. On opening the box, I was very surprised - not only does the phone look alot nicer than it does on ...
...phone on resulted in the Nokia tune, a very loud 'Do do do do doooooo' and the Nokia logo, followed by the Orange logo. After reading and deleting the "Sim Update" messages from Orange, I was ready to go. My first call was to register the text saver with Orange on their free automated number 450, allowing me, as I said, to send 5 free texts per day. You are also given £5 free credit with text saver, bringing the total free credit to £6 - nice! ...

Review of Nokia 3100

This is the new basic nokia phone, to bring nokia to the masses again. It's a small light weight phone, with all the basics of the modern man or women. Look of the Phone: The colour screen really adds life to the phone compared to old style green and black, With massive amount of personalisation available, in the form of covers, keypads, Background images and a variety of iterface colours to choose from. You can really match this phone to you. ...
...as a most basic new nokia phone it can be picked up on pay as you go for a very low cost £20-£60 brand new. Well worth shopping around a bit to find the cheapest but well worth what ever you pay within this range. Conclusion: This is a great phone and numourous amount ahve already been sold, yet you can have a look for yours like no other, having a overly long battery life is great two weeks away and you still have battery left. Great value for ...

Review of Nokia 3100

...other mobile phones especially previous nokia models such as the 3330. A snug little cover is provided and it slids over the battery and clicks into place. The on button for the phone is located at the top end of the phone which you push in and hol for a little while. You get the noia welcome picture which i find quite annoying which i haven't been able to get rid of but the volume is removable by accessing the settings option from the menu. Obviously ...
...follow but i felt that Nokia could have been much clearer a to how you go about setting up a few of the functions which are meant to be available on your phone. Im with TMobile and inorder to get the CPRS function for my WAp and also picture messaging/ MMS, i had to phone them up inorder to get it, even after I had tried to set it up on the internet. so inregards to the instructiona manual I was very dissappointed as i only gained this information ...

Review of Nokia 3100

...******************************************************************** The Nokia 3100 was offered to me as free upgrade with my O2 package. Looking at the picture of it didn't fill me with joy, and the "take it down the disco" marketing positioning by Nokia made me cringe, but my old Nokia 8210 was driving me nuts as it seemed to have developed a stroke down the left hand side of the keyboard! I was offered several phones but this one was free and ...

It's features are comparable to more expensive phones - it's Tri-band - works in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America, supports MMS, Polyphonic MIDI ring tones (quite a good choice and you can download more), GPRS, MIDP Java applications - that's better ...

Review of Nokia 3100

...months ago I got a Nokia 3410 on a Vodafone contract. It was fine. The phone did what I needed it to do - it made and received calls, it sent and received texts, and I could turn it to silent if necessary. Oh, and once the alarm clock was set, it remained set until reset or turned off. It was robust, it stood up to being slung in my bag and ignored, it was fine. About a month ago I was contacted and offered an upgrade of my phone. Because I'm not ...
...the 3100. I wanted pink, they only had blue. Oh well. I've had the 3100 phone a month, sold the 3410, and I really wish I hadn't bothered. The sound is rubbish. Even with the volume turned all the way up, it's poor and the reception isn't great, in places where the 3410 coped fine. The 3100 buttons are awkward to use and feel cheap and plasticky (probably because they are cheap and plasticky). The screen is marked already and the LCD or LED display, ...

Review of Nokia 3100

...button.There are three games in NOKIA 3100 bowling, beach rally or snake EX2 which are enough for a mobile user.. This phone does have WAP also,so u can easily use WAP on NOkia 3100.Battery life very good, expect about 5-6 days with average use. I like the fact that there are 7 battery bars, so you have a much better idea of how much battery life is left at any time. There is also a disadvantage of NOKIA 3100 because there is no integral camera ...
...interfaces with the phone. It is small enough to fit easily into a pocket and hardly be noticed. It has a full colour screen and the buttons are very small. The phone menus are quite clear, and the navigation is easy using the arrow keys on the phone.Each different phone function can be accessed trough the menu simply by pressing the buttons.. It allows you a lot of talktime and when it is on standby it seems to last forever. Hands free speaker ...

Review of Nokia 3100

...phone I was offered the Nokia 3100 on Vodafone pay as you go. I'd seen it advertised everywhere, but didn't know a lot about the phone itself only that the cover glowed in the dark! When I was talked through what the phone does, it sounded brilliant! The outer cover (ice blue is mine) glows in the dark. You just put the phone under a lamp or strong light for 15 mins which charges the glow bit and voila! The keypad lights up and will rhymically ...
...As with all Nokia phones menus are very much similar I found to my old 3310. Messages menu - where (on this model) you can send SMS messages as well as multimedia messages. This phone doesn't have a camera but can receive pictures Call register - see what calls you missed, made or list all of them Contacts - this is basically phone numbers that you have stored Profiles - set how you want your phone to react on General, Silent or Loud.

Review of Nokia 3100

Very good little phone, never usually any problems with connections, text messaging is simple, whole phone is simple and easy to use. I prefer nokias menu screens and interface because they are so simple. There are a fair few ringtones to choose from, my favourite "Hat Dance" of course. Easy to take the case off for changing fascias. A very useful part of the phone is the calendar, which allows you to set reminders for dates way in the future, so ...
...games arent anything special, snake 2 is probably the best, The bowling game is boring after a couple of goes and the Racing game is just appauling. Also has the usual bits and bobs, alarm clock, countdown timer, calculator, stopwatch etc. WAP could be a bit better, but who uses the internet on their phone when youve got a PC? Must be mad. Genrally an awesome phone for the price, nothing better out for that price on pay as you go. ...
