Advantages: Simple, Looks good, Makes phone calls !!

Disadvantages: Low Battery Life, Slowness

.......is how Nokia have labelled this phone, and I tend to agree with them.

This is the first phone I have bought through choice (my old one was a hand-me-down), and I was attracted mainly to the simplicity of it. Now that we've moved into video mobile etc, its nice to find a handset which's main purpose is making phone calls.

If you're familiar with a 3310, its features are very similar to those of the 2100. There are a few games, composer, the new feature of picture editor and then your normal stuff like SMS. Its small and compact, meaning you don't have a brick in your pocket, and although the look won't be to everyones taste, I like it.

A few problems i've encountered include a very small battery life, due to the ultra-bright white screen. Its Ok if you've got time to give it a full charge every few days, but for those on the move, you may find yourself with a lifeless phone. I also found that going through some of the menus is slow, eg going into the address book.

Other than that though, its a great buy. Pretty cheap, about £100, and a phone that will be a good companion for a while.
