The 3310 is the upgrade of the 3210, now known as Nokia's 'flagship' handset. I did not have a phone before the 3310, and wanted one badly. So I decided to buy one. I was originally going to buy the 3210, but I did not have enough cash. By the time I had saved enough, the 3310 was available. So I bought it.
It is lightweight, easy to use, small, stylish, and has everything you could want from a phone. It has interchangeable front and back fascias, and best of all, no aerial.
Enough specs, what is it like to use?
Surprisingly easy actually. Mine is on BtCellnet, which is very reliable.
From the first charge, it took me about 10 minutes before I was ready to use it!
Let's go through the functions of the phone:
Phone Book:
The main feature of this is to store names and numbers for easy accessibility, with edit, erase and new features. Other than that, you can create 'voice tags' which allow you to use voice activated dialling. You can set your speed dials for your favourite numbers, and assign tones so you'll know who's phoning. You can also send business cards containing other peoples, or your own number.
Messages:
The main use of this is to write SMS text messages, short pieces of text sent from mobile to mobile. You can view your inbox also, containing received messages.
Extras for the 3310 include picture messaging, send a picture to a friend to cheer them up, smiley's insert a :-) into your message, and use preset templates such as 'busy, call me at home' etc.
Chat:
This is basically a constant SMS discussion between two phones.
Call Register:
see the duration of your calls, see who's calls you missed and who's you received, and in some cases, how much it cost.
Tones:
This part is great. The phone comes with a preset selection of tones, but you can store up to 7 others, which are composed, sent to you by a friend, or off the Internet. There are many popular songs available.
You can change the ringing volume as well. Chose the alert you wish to have for a received message, the volume of the keypad tones, and turn warning tones on and off. You can also activate the vibrate alert feature. Avoid embarrassing phone calls!
Another 3310 feature is the screen saver. Set it to come on after a certain time of non-use, and a small picture appears on your screen!
You can also compose your own tunes, using a wide range of notes.
Settings:
This is nothing exciting, change your phone and security settings.
Call Divert:
Used to send calls to your answering service, but you can also redirect all mobile calls to your home phone, when it is not on or you are a t home.
Games:
Wohoooo! The games for the 3310 have been upgraded. The popular 'snake game' has become snake 2, in which the player must direct a constantly lengthening snake towards the food. You can go through walls on Snake 2!
There is also space impact, a side scrolling space invaders style game. Take out as many aliens as you can, with your lasers and bonus weapons. There is a boss on each level.
There is also 'bantumi', which is something to do with pots and beans. Gets me!!!
Finally there is pairs 2, a memory game in which you must remember locations of pictures, and find their pair. You can enable vibration and lights for playing games.
Calculator:
A handy calculator for on the go calculations, with times, divide, plus, minus and equal functions.
Reminders:
Never forget that important meeting again. Schedule reminders, with an alarm function, so you'll never forget and important date!
Clock:
This is more than it sounds. Set the time which appears on the main screen and a daily alarm. But there is also a stopwatch and countdown timer!
Profiles:
You can put your phone into different modes, or 'profiles'. With your phone you get things like loud, discreet, general, silent etc. In profiles you can modify, rename or even create new profiles. Chose tones, screen savers and things, and chose a name for your profile. They are accessible through this section, or by pressing your power button once.
My Services:* *only available on BT
This is a useful BT extra, with the numbers for AA, RAC, talking pages, national directory, the traffic line and more, pre installed.
The Xpress on covers are a great extra, as is the ability to change the operator logo. If you get fed up of seeing BT Cellnet, change it! Get a new logo off the Internet from such sites as boltblue.com. I currently have a 'cream' logo.
This is a great phone, perfect to fit in your hand, and is trendy to show off. A very good handset!
