I’m going to break my review down to the advantages & disadvantages Advantages •Great price for the phone (can be picked up for under £10 on online auctions some retailers e.g. carphonewarehouse charge maximum £20 with credit installed within it) •Brilliant battery life (up to 400 hours stand by time, which is excellent compared to upper class phones with some of them going for less then 200) •Fast charging time •Good for basic needs •Can be used aboard (do check before going) •Small & comfortable (doesn’t weigh much) •Has got FM radio (does it really matter? I tend to listen to my Ipod) Disadvantages •Can be hard to read the screen when in day light (only in some cases) •Can have low reception in a crowded area (a lot of houses) and in the suburbs •Can not just unlock with codes have to go to a shop which costs around £5, which is quite a lot when the phone is max £10. I went to Bangladesh for a holiday and got it unlocked for like £1 & you can basically get any phone unlocked there for that price so my advice is to go to one of those countries for a holiday •Ring tone can be hard to hear (this is from my mum when she put it in her bag, I cant really make a comment on this as I just but it on silent) •I found it a little bit difficult texting (pressing the wrong buttons) I am use to it now but giving a fair warning Overall review Good for those who want a simple phone for calls & texting & for those who just need a spare phone (I do this to take advantage of the other networks cheaper price plans). I saw that some reviews people wrote that this phone isn’t very good but take no notice to them, they are just comparing the phone to upper class ones with cameras and GPRS, if you want all those gismos then go for it.

As a student I wanted a very basic phone... Well, after 2 years still fantastic and I won't change it. You cannot imagine how useful it is in your hands! I combined it with a international sim card to call home, trully speaking... no other basic phone could beat it!

This phone just goes to show that great product design doesn't have to be expensive. This stripped down bargain basement phone is just as well engineered as, and probably shares many of the same components as, many of Nokia's more expensive phones.

Just got this as a hand-me-down from my son, and I wasn't expecting much. And to be honest it hasn't got much, but what it has got works well and is easy to use; I'm really starting to like it. Although the display is colour, it's quite small, but the menus are easy to navigate so it's fine. It feels quite solid, and the key action feels good. I think the FM radio reception depends on where you are and how you hold the headphone wire (which is the aerial) - I haven't used it much, but I wouldn't buy the phone specifically for the radio. So not ideal for a kid who wants lots of 'fun' features (son now very happy with his new 5310), but great for someone who just wants a reliable easy-to-use basic phone.

The Nokia 2310 is a very basic bargain phone. But when I say bargain - and I tell ou from expeience - you get an FM radio, a few fancy shortcuts from the startup menu, some, er...interesting ringtones and that's pretty much it. Oh yeah, apart from the games. The games are quite fun at first, but if ou are standing at a bus stop or waiting for your late mum to arrive, let's just say it's not perfect at the best of times. HOWEVER. Don't dismiss this a rubbish, cheap phone yet. when you first get this phone it can be truly delightful. If you are looking for a basic, affordable to keep you entertained for about a year, your quest is done. This is perfect. P.S. Please excuse any typing errors that you find in this report;my keyboard seems to be going coo - coo. The most common one is 'ou', which should say 'you'.

I have the NOKIA 2310 - it's NOT my main phone, but my spare but it's a great little phone. I got it from Virgin Mobile and also got the unlocking codes from them so I can use foreign networks' SIMs when using my mobile overseas without paying extortionate Roaming charges, which is what happens when you make & receive calls overseas on your own, home network. I got my brother one as a gift & he's had his unlocked too for the same reason. It's what's known as an "entry level" phone meaning it's basic & doesn't have GPRS, BlueTooth, Camera & picture-messaging, InfraRed etc... However, for an entry level phone it's very good in that it has a full-colour screen, 3 games and a built in FM radio. Where else can you get a small, portable FM radio that you don't continually have to buy batteries for? And of course,like any other "entry level" NOKIA it doesn't need charging very often! If you want a fancy phone with all the bells & whistles on, then believe me, it's i n your interests to have a basic phone like this too. If you're in (or going to be in) a situation where having your phone stolen/lost is a possibility then you don't want your expensive handset to be the one that goes missing! That's why my brother & I would ALWAYS use an "entry level" phone overseas!

nokia 2310 is the best phone for someone who wants to use the handset just for calls and other additional functions and a real money-saver. i bought the sim-free phone and find the keypad to be too close for a blind person to identify the numbers therein. it took me four days to be able to use the keypad effectively; but i like its slimness so much that you could put it into your shirt pocket or trouser pocket. it's hands free mode is superb and the phone has a sound quality when a caller is talking to you. i wish i could see to observe its colour screen.

I am very pleased with the phone appart from one feature. In the message inbox, it will only tell me the name of the person who sent me the text if the number is stored under +44, not the usual 07. I find this strange and very annoying as I hav to change every mobile number in my phone book. Does anybody know why?

It is good, for the price. If you don't need an MP3 player or a camera on your phone, it does everything really well. Long battery life is a good feature and the radio is reliable , you wouldn't mind losing it so much at the price. If only Nokia put the flashlight that was on the 1110 on this phone and it would be great for holidays, if you were out of phone signal at least it would still be good to have it around. It could do without the games as they are not very good on the small screen anyway- only snake is moderately fun but ultimately tedious. Most kids nowadays would turn their noses up at this phone anyway, ....wot, no mp3???

I got given one free from my service provider as part of a promotion (Vodafone) - I pulled the simcard out of my N95 and placed it in the 2310 and turned it on - the blocky low res screen caught my attention - WHAMMMM I was transported back 5 years in time - well actually my phone from then had a basic camera and MMS and a web browser and other features like switching off at night and back on in the morning aswell as a higher res color screen! - The battery life is better than my N95, then again a laptop from 1992 with one of todays batteries will last longer than a new laptop, you just wont be able to do much. Pros - the blocky screen blends well as a background for the tetris like game and it was free! Cons - Nokia has made any inventions to go back in time unneeded.

Its a cheap and simple phone which is often what people want ... BUT when calling from my home phone, you can see that there is a call coming in but you cant hear anything. It wont even vibrate to say that there's a call coming in. It works from other numbers. The only difference on the screen is that there is a little red cross below the phone icon when the call is being received from home. So. As long as calls from home dont matter, the phone is perfect.
