Nokia 3285 Cell Phone

Pros: It could do a lot of stuff.
Cons: Who wants to do all that stuff? It's way to complicated.

I hate the Nokia 3285. It will do all sorts of things, but I can never remember what buttons to push in what order to make it do all that stuff. Plus, it is always doing stuff that I don’t want it to do. It is an evil little phone that makes me look...

Pros: small, light weight, all around good phone.
Cons: I haven't found any yet, I will edit if I do.

My first very own cell phone (I usually didn’t need one, so would use my husbands if I had the need), happens to be this little gem. We’ve owned a cell phone for about ten years now, and have only went through three, this being the fourth. I first went...

Pros: Thinner, compatible with accessories (mostly)
Cons: Not quite compatible with all old accessories, battery life

It's clearly that the 3285 is basically an improved version of the venerable 51xx series. They went back to the two button (on/off) design, made the phone thinner by about 30%, added more Internet capabilities, and voila, you have the 3285.

I got this phone about a month ago after a signing w/ a contract with Alltel. I paid 50 dollars for the phone.. I think it is totally worth the money, and seriously, I would have paid 200 dollars for the phone if I didn't get a slick deal on it. Anyways...

Cons: "Lags" (Explained in Review)

I got this phone about a month ago, this is my 2nd cellphone, the first being the Nokia 5160i. I received this phone free with a 2-year package deal, although it retails for $350.00 CAD ($220 USD).

The phone runs on the CDMA Technology, which...

Pros: Nothing special. I suppose it is a typical cell phone.
Cons: Keylock necessary to prevent unwanted calls. Needs side volume adjustment.

Despite being a computer geek for a living, only last week did I finally join the cell-phone owning masses. Since I don't expect to use it a great deal, I got this phone, which was Alltel's current "free" model.

I did have a pre-paid cell...

I bought my first cell phone in June 2001. It was a Nokia 5185i, and I loved it. It was a great phone, but I really wanted one of the Nokia's with the calender and mini browser. I will write about the 5185 soon.

In September 2001my carrier,...

Pros: Nice feel, easy to dial, clear large printout, changeable ring tones, tri mode

Verizon Wireless replaces cell phones every 2 years so I got the new tri mode 3285 vs a Kyocera 2185. I asked the clerk to charge it so we can see the display & play with it a bit. Instant love!!!! Kyocera lost when neither of their 2 phones would...
