Advantages: Smaller, more features and familiar!

Disadvantages: Hard to get hold of as yet.

Anyone who has a Nokia 3210 will love this little handset!

The menu again, is so simple to navigate, even my children can use it! (other manufacturer's take note!}

Not as chunky as the 3210, it is similar in size to the 8850, although a little heavier.

New features that make this so different from the 3210 include:

Voice dialling, it stores up to 8 voice tags. But as with any voice dialling handset, you do have to say the name EXACTLY as you said it on recording, which means that it usually takes a couple of attempts to get it to go. Ok if you are in private, but, in public a little bit embarrassing!

Vibra Alert, it comes as standard, which I must admit is a bonus as it is a really good vibrator?? Not that sort!! You guys know what I mean<S>

Business Card, you can send any number from your phone book to another person at the touch of a key. Much better!

Profiles, not a new concept as the 6210's (amongst others) have this feature. A good way to personlise your phone.

Stopwatch. In the Clock menu. Not sure how much use an average person would have of this, but it is there if you need it.

Reminders. Put in your other halfs birthday and it will remind you when it is! A plus for anyone with a terrible memory. I have used it to remind me to go to the dentist<S> Something I usually forget on purpose!

Games, 3 different games. Snake 2, which you can set up in so many ways it is really more than just 1 game on its own. Space impact, a sorta space invaders. And bantumi, a pea in a pot game that I cannot win!

Tones, space to save up to 7 new ringtones! Much better!

Picture Messaging, Now stores 14 pictures for you to send. Most I will replace, but at least there is the space to do this.

Finally, Chat. Not as good as it sounds, but better than just messaging. Basically, each time you get a reply, it stays on the same screen so y
ou can almost converse in real-time. You also set your user name.

I really like this mobile phone. I was using a 3210, and this is a step up. Some really useful features, plus all my old favourites!

One more thing, battery life. The battery on this lasts at least 2 days longer than the 3210! AND you can use your in-car charger that you had for the 3210 so no forking out loads to change your handset!

I just hope stores start stocking facia's for them soon!

I highly recommend this handset to you all. It's not life changing, but, it is much better with the new features. Go on! Give it a go!
