I just purchased the nokia 3310 mobile phone and felt I had to write an opinion on it. Basically it’s the best phone I’ve ever come across. I bought it from the carphone warehouse, well I say bought but I actually got it for free with free connection to BT Cellnet as well (BARGAIN!!) Here’s a brief rundown on the facilities that the 3310 has;

1- Phone book, which is able to store 150 names and numbers, you can also apply a voice tag (you speak into the phone and it automatically dials the number!) and assign a ring tone to different numbers.

2- Messages, this is my favourite; it has a built in dictionary so as you write your text message it will predict the words for you – very handy! You can also send picture messages and add your own smiley :)

3- Chat, this service allows you to have a continuous text message conversation with one person.

4- Call register, this is standard on Nokias and lets you view the numbers you’ve dialled, received and missed among other things.

5- Tones, the nokia 3310 allows you to download your own tones (up to 5) either off the internet or by ringing one of those numbers in the national press (I’ve currently got Hear’says song on mine!) You can also compose your own unique ring tone. Oh also on this section you can choose to have a screen saver on your phone and also whether to allow it to vibrate or not- useful for meetings or busy trains.

6- Settings, which are again standard on a nokia and allow you to set up the phone to your requirements i.e.; auto redial and call waiting.

7- A call divert option.

8- Games, with this phone you get 4 games, Snake 2, pairs2, space impact and bantumi you can also play these games on the nokia website my current favourite is Bantumi.

9- Calculator.

10- Reminders, this is fab I’m always forgetting stuff but this phone allows me to set an alarm with details of things that I need to remember excellent!

11- Clock, which has a date function as well.

12- Profiles are up to you to set you can have the phone on discreet for example for meetings etc.

So anyway I think that’s enough detail. The phone has an excellent battery power, which for me is on average 3 days. You can also change the back and front of the phone, I’ve currently got Eore on mine (child at heart!) and a wide range of accessories are available.
