hi i find the nokia 3310 a very good phone. i cannot see why on th screen it is only a one star phone because everyone in my family and me worship the phone.it is great because it can send text messages and you can ring people without having to connect up any wires. also the phone has lots of cheapskate polyphonic rongtones which i think are really cool for a mobile phone. thank you for letting me have an opinion on this phone i thank you very much . thank you. ty!

I have had this phone for 9- almost 10 years and it has lasted all that time! It is the most reliable phone that I have ever had, and I have accidentally dropped it several times but it still works! the battery life seems to be endless, but i suppose as it is an old phone, the message inbox does not save more than about 15 msgs at a time on my phone. wooaaaahh!! yeah, its coolio!

Firstly, i apologise for my name. i can only accuse my parents! anyway, i have this phone and it is great! although it is not the latest in technology...no camera, no colour, no bluetooth..there is nothing actually bad about it, apart from the fact that you can only hold about 15 texts.
good thing for me though...i am a bit of a text freak and i tend to hoard all my texts, much like a hamster.....anyway, good solid phone, perfect for oldies who don't understand all that 'complicated technology' (!) my
grandma has one, and loves it. much love, rainy. xxxxxxxx

How can you put this phone down? It was one of the most popular phones of all time. At one stage every one had one when it was out in 2001 or

I have been the unfortunate owner of this phone (if you can call it a phone) for 4 years. I have suffered verbal abuse for owning this phone from my sister and my parents. My phone is little more than a brick: a heavy lump which dies after a day of charging. My calamities with this phone is numerous, but they include mysteriously losing £10 in top-ups and the batteries dying on me when I was stuck in town. But lo! Th biggest crime this mis-shapen brick has commited? It rang in public, thus embarrassing me to no end. The graphics are shoddy, the ringtones are painful for the ears and the memory is abysmal. It stores a maximum of 19 messages. How terrible is that?! It is ugly and heavy and deserves to be in a bin. No wait - it's too heavy for a bin!

One of the best phone in the world. I really miss it. Nokia has stoped the production of 3310. Unbreakable. It had fallen from great heights many time and nothing happened to it. It was very expensive when it got released but now its very cheap. Has fallen in the water and nothing happened. I say it is better than any phone even Nokia N90. Sounds mad but still its the best.

The thing about this little baby is it's a complete classic and the baseline for all of those other phones you see now. It's better in a lot of ways because if you want a mobile phone- something you can quickly and easily use in emergencies then what do you need a camera for? What do you need an MP3 ringtone for or 50 games or a 100k colour screen? It's just not really necessary. The 3310 meanwhile is the most easy phone in the world to use. You switch it on press the menu button and scroll until you find the option that you want. It's that easy! It's layouts simple and the key pad is so nicely set out it's just great.
The phone's not a brick either. It weighs less than your purse will with all the money you will've saved on this! This phone will always be my first and best phone. It's reliable, cute and has all a little world needs.
To round it off, if you're a newbie at phones, start off with this one and I can guarantee you'll never want to let go!

Well it would be unfair if I were to compare this phone to a new, modern Nokia because if I were to do that I wouldn't even bother to write a review, however, this was the first phone I ever perchased and it has survived a long time. It is very well built, my dad is now using my old Nokia 3310 and it is still in top, working condition.
The phone's design is a bit out of sync now, it is heavy to carry around and, well, looks like a brick, but it does it's job. It has a very clear sound when you ring for people and the buttons are very easy to use for texting. I'm about to upgrade my Samsug E300 for a Sony Ericsson T610 and I will give the Samsung to my dad, I don't know how he will manage, for the past year he's had a 3310 and now he's being 'up-graded' to a camera phone with a lot more gadgets, the Nokia is far less complicated and if you have trouble figuring out modern phones stick with this phone. It may not be modern and new but it's really simple to use and it's reliable!
I am giving this phone three stars because it's not the most attractive thing but it works fine and is a good companion.

But its way past its time now - it weighs loads, black and white screen, a few mono boring ringtones... But its simple and easy to use so a good phone for people not really in time with technology if u get what i mean... mine has unfortunatly broken but i have had it like 4 years now and i have dropped it like 1000 times.

The mobile is good overall but very boring indeed!!

Ideal for elder people or those who are searching for a simple and a good mobile. By the way, i think this mobile is un-breakable!! I've been hitting it several times and it fell off my hands about 10 times already! Never broke!! Keep it up nokia for your gd accesories and phones.

NOkia 3310 is a rugged, durable, dependable and simple phone. I have been using mine for 3 years now and not ready to trade it with any other. Though I may go for a newer handset with recent features as a second handset. Nokia 3310 captured my fancy when it fell down and broke into 3 pieces. I gathered the pieces together fixed them up and get going, no problem. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a simple handset without sophisticated features like bluetooth, infrared etc. You will be happy to have it.

I'm reviweing this phone for nostalgic reasons as it was stolen (heaven knows who'd want it now!!!). It is now time to jump into the 21st century with a new spangley phone, but before make this leap this is my homage to the Nokia 3310 (rest in peace). The 3310 was the best phone, with it's simple, (now I consider retro) design and also it's ingeniously easy to use menu systems. This makes accessing features on your phone extremely quick and simple. Also it was practically indestructable, I have lost count of the number of times I dropped my phone, but there were no indelable marks left on the phone. However, not wanting to speak ill of the dead, after about a year problems do start developing with the battery time and the phone will cut off mid-phone call. It is a good sturdy phone. Rest in peace. xxx.

I have had my 3310 for about 2 years, after buying it because it was popular, and very affordable! I am currently looking into getting a new phone(mainly for a camera!), but don't want to get rid of this one! I know when it was released this phone was the best, but I'm reviewing it for now a days! lol The only things I'd change is to add a camera and of course colour screen, and to make it smaller and lighter, and also stop the now and again freezing my phone gets. However, this fault ay be that its old (it was reconditoned when i bought it) also that I've dropped it god knows how many times and the only damage is scatches and chips to the cover. Although I don't use any protective holder for it, the screen stays practicly undamaged, despite dropping it and always carring it in my pocket etc. Nokia is the best for texting, it's simple and easy to use and tells you when your going onto a second msg (something I find very useful). However, if you buy different covers, I advise you to use the original buttons, as the rubbery ones are hard to press.The phone is simple to use and comes with 4 games, vibrate, alarm, screensavers (makes me wonder why the 7250i doesnt). The phone is a bit bulky now but otherwise still a fab, but basic phone! If you don't want 'gimmicks' buy this phone!
