The Nokia 3310 - An all around talent with lots of features
Plus: exchangeable covers in different colors, easy to handle
Contra: insufficient memory capacity, especially in regard to image-messaging
Hello dearest visitors,
my first mobile phone ever was a Nokia 3310. I bought the Nokia 3310 a year ago, which was I guess the most suitable mobile for a 'beginner'. Although the Nokia 3310 would never make it into the final round of a mobile contest, it is a decent model, which is quite up to date and equipped with all the modern features one truly needs in order to participate in global communication.
The design of the Nokia 3310 is quite esthetic, since it is so small and compact, the Nokia 3310 fits perfectly into the palm of your hand. If it should happen that you once drop the Nokia 3310, since it does weigh quite something, it still wouldn't break into pieces. Robustness surely is one of the advantages of the Nokia 3310, this is as well applicable for outdoor factors such as water, warmth and so forth, the Nokia 3310 can take quite a lot.
Even the reception quality of the Nokia 3310 is surprisingly good for a mobile phone of that price range.
The keys of the Nokia 3310 aren't too small, although the Nokia 3310 itself isn't all too big either. When pressing the silver digit keys of the Nokia 3310, they will feel soft and smooth, ideal for operating the Nokia 3310. The menu of the Nokia 3310 is well structured, featuring a reminder, clock, alarm function, calculator, chat option, lots of different ringing tones, numerous games. With the Nokia 3310 you even have the possibility to compose your own profiles, according to your mood.
Additionally the Nokia 3310 comes with an alarm function, which even works via a vibratory alarm, if you don't want to be disturbed by the noise of the alarm. Furthermore you have the option of assigning every single caller a specific ringer tone, hereby identifying an incoming call due to its ringer tone. If all those annoying people call you up once again, you won't even need to take a short glance at the display, since you will already be alarmed by the ringer tone, you specifically assigned this category of people.
The Nokia 3310 comes with a huge memory for text messages; writing extra long messages is also possible, since they will be sent linked to another. Unfortunately nothing closely similar can be stated about image messaging with the Nokia 3310; definitely too little memory for those in the Nokia 3310.
All together the Nokia 3310 is a mobile phone for sunny-hearted people, who don't wanna deal with the user manual of the Nokia 3310, coz that's just too boring.
Ten different entries can be saved in the memo-function of the Nokia 3310.
No matter where you might ever spend minute after minute waiting for someone/something, the Nokia 3310 will help you overcoming these situations due its four integrated games (these are: Snake II - Space Impact - Bantumi and Pairs II).
The Nokia 3310 comes in a leather case.The phone book of Nokia 3310 allows to store up to 90 names and numbers on the SIM card
Any image can be used as screen saver, even SMS.
What I considered as especially striking after my years with the Nokia 3310 was, that the Nokia 3310 is so incredibly easy to use. In addition to that it has a long living battery, however the memory capacity for image messaging just really is way too small.
Still I am satisfied with the Nokia 3310 and so will you, once you get to know the Nokia 3310 a bit better.
