Nokia 6310i

...as a free phone. Esssentially Nokia jumped on the Microsoft bandwagon and released a product that wasn't really ready and was buggy as hell. The 6310i seems to have had most of these problems ironed out but as a result it often requires a premium payment over the standard 6310 to get it on a contract. I upgraded to my 6310i a few months ago so prices may have fallen somewhat now and have been using most of the features on a day-to-day basis. To ...
...from the Nokia site and have added my comments where applicable: Size Weight: 111 g Dimensions: 129 x 47 x 17-21 mm All in all a well dimensioned phone, light enough to go relatively unnoticed in your pocket but with a good sized keypad and screen, thereby avoiding the button-mashing you often get with smaller phones if your thumb is a little on the pudgy side! However, the phone is available in 3 colors. black/gold, silver and mistral beige. Never ...

Review of Nokia 6310i

I have been using the Nokia 6310I now for about four months for work purposes. For my current job I am required to do one week on call out of every four weeks and provide a service 24/7. We need a phone that is reliable, and easy to use due to the nature of the job. I speak to people around the world 24 hours a day, and due to a high volume of calls from ship to shore satellite phones, it really shows the weaknesses in the phone if its sub standard. ...
...a month on a normal month. I got a call out from Brazil, last Sunday morning at 5.30am and spoke to a guy on an oil tanker for an hour. Speaking on these phones is incredible slow due to the time lack and each sentence needs to be completed by saying “Over”. This does not look cool on the bus coming home….Me shouting then and saying Over every five seconds…..I look like a right twonk!. Since we have had this phone it has really made our life’s so ...

Review of Nokia 6310i

...and mp3 players. The Nokia 6310i is basically a sequel to the 6210, and latterly the 6310. The only changes from the 6310 are that it is now tri-band (handy if you travel a lot, less so if you don't), a blue backlight which is a useful change as well as a cosmetic one (the green backlight of the 6310 against it's dark grey keys made them quite hard to read in some lights) and the ability to run MIDP Java applets. It also comes in a variety of new ...
...difference, I guarantee it - Nokia must have really beefed up this phone's processor. There's a certain amount of slowdown in the Wallet and Java environment, but in normal day to day use, there is no quicker phone. If you're a heavy data user, you'll appreciate this phone's fantastic data support. It supports GSM, HSCSD and GPRS and you can connect it via a cable, infrared, or Bluetooth. I've not had the opportunity to test it's HSCSD performance, ...

Review of Nokia 6310i

...the 6310 and the 6210. Nokia are committed to the chassis style of the 6310i as they want peripherals (headsets, car-kits, etc) to be common to this family. This is unlike Nokia but is comforting news for the owner of a 6310, 6210 or 6110 as they won't have to replace all of their mobile add-ons if they upgrade their handset. The handset itself is larger than most in the current Nokia range but is well balanced and feels comfortable to talk into ...
...than the hansdets it supercedes. Nokia are pitching firmly for the business user here, there are no concessions to current handset trends like cameras, radios and the like but it does have everything that the business-person could want. The 6310i is a tri-band phone, so those business trips to the USA are taken in its stride. HSCSD (high speed data-transfer) is a standard feature along with WAP, GPRS and bluetooth. There is also a handy voice recorder ...

Review of Nokia 6310i

...just about to sell my Nokia 6310i, ('cos i've upgraded) but i'd like to let you know how I got on with it, so here goes... Cost: When I first bought this phone, (October 2002) I paid £69.99 on an o2online contract, £20 per month. This was a good deal at the time. Inevitably, prices have dropped now, the current price is £29.99 (source www.o2.co.uk) on the same tariff. This phone is not available on pay as you go, so it's a case, as always of shopping ...
...converter on there (downloadbale from nokia wapsite), but if you want any more than a couple of other apps, like games, you're going to run out of memory. Petty, I know, but i'm struggling to find other negatives here! Size-Put it this way, you won't lose it easily! It's certainly long, but I actually like a big phone, it goes from ear to mouth more easily (!). Just be aware, it's not a small phone. Conclusion: Well, I would really recommend this ...

Review of Nokia 6310i

So many people these days seem to have mobile phones with great Polyphonic ring-tones and, to boot, cool up to date designs ... not to mention the ability to take digital photos! I don't feel the 6310i can boast any of the above features and infact I have had quite a few friends ask me why I don't get something more 'up to date'. They have a point .... Now here's mine: It's amazing how many of these modern looking phones with built-in camera and ...
...To give you an idea how useful that can be just imagine a wireless connection from your laptop or PDA to the 6310i while travelling away from home and you want to surf the net or perhaps even more importantly read AND send emails!?!! How about if you hate using the alpha-numeric keypad of a telephone to send text messages? Well, because I have a PDA with bluetooth I can use its 'QWERTY' layout 'virtual keyboard' to quickly 'type' out a message with ...

...in addition to the usual Nokia games such as Snake II, however if it is a gaming phone you are primarily looking for I would recommend other phones in Nokia's range. -- Appearance -- The phone is the same shape as the 6210, however the styling of the phone is more appealing. The phone is available in a metallic silvery colouring, or a darker grey. -- Overall -- I have found that the phone is easily marked if dropped or accidently put in the same ...

Review of Nokia 6310i

...our phone outfits and chose Nokia 6310i’s on an Orange business deal. I didn't really see the need to change - I've always got on with the Timeport, except its battery was geting tired. Which features do I use and appreciate? Tri-band and phone number memory. Well the Nokia hits the mark on these, and has a couple of good features extra. Top on my list is tri-band – otherwise you’re marooned in the USA, and some other locations like Kuwait. Memorising ...
...from the rest. (The default Nokia Tune is really gross). Voicedial is a handy option, but you have to re-do them if you've upgraded from another phone. Downsides? Not many. The charger is multi voltage and fairly small, but has a large overhang below the prongs, so it won’t plug into sockets positioned just above the desktop in many hotels and offices. Not that it needs much charging – every four or five days at the moment. There are no shortcuts ...

Review of Nokia 6310i

I've had this phone for about one year now, one of my old bosses was throwing it out so I got it for free. I've had a few teething troubles with Bluetooth but I've mastered it now. The Infrared port is located on the top of the phone and works fine. Calendar is VERY useful, it shows up as a 4 x 7 grid therefore it shows you 4 lines for each week and you can set the day that your week starts on. Also, when an event is entered in any date of the ...

When first used, the wallet can be set up with your own 'Wallet Code' which is totally different to your PIN and/or Security Code. If you forget your Wallet Code, you can reset it with the phones security code, although this will clear ALL the content inside. E-Mails are text based only. You go to Messages then ...

...of reasons. And from all Nokia phones I've ever tested, 6310i is by far the best one. I'm kind of a techy guy, so I'll give you some facts (said by the producer-Nokia) and then my personal opinion. First of all, it's a tri-band phone (900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900 MHz-for US), so you can use it all over the world (except, of course, where you don't have coverage :) It has Bluetooth integrated (Bluetooth refers to a short-range radio technology aimed at ...
