Advantages: A great phone

Disadvantages: Price

I have owned my 3310 for about 6 months now and I must say I am really REALLY impressed with it.
Before this I had an Ericcson that suffered terribly with signal strength and sound quality, not to mention being ugly, lacking in features and oddly shaped.
With the Nokia 3310, I have a phone that can do so much.
Firstly it looks nice.
Its small but not too small like some of the flip top Motorolas that you can easily loose.
You can get many many different snap on covers to personalise it. My Ericcson did have changeable button plates but that was the limit.
The market is full of groovy and whacky phone covers for a 3310 so you can be as individual as you want.

The quality of the signal is a big plus point. It does not have an ugly external aerial like the Ericcson had but that does not reduce its strength. I normally have a full signal when in most areas.

The sound quality is excellent. Very load if you need it to be, right in your ear. Its crisp and very defined.

As for the ringtones, well they are numerous. You can download them directly to your phone if you get bored of the 40 or so that come with it. If you are creative, you can program your own using the ringtone maker on the handset. This also helps personalise it.

You can text from this phone too. Handy if you dont want a big bill and just need to let someone know where or when you will meet them or to tell my husband to bring something home with him. It has a smart text function so it "predicts" your words for you. Speeds up the typing no end.

There is a handy vibrate function too for when you need to know your phone is ringing in very noisy places. Nightclubs are not a problem for a gal and her phone now!

The only downside is the price. If you want one off contract, you will pay between £120-150 for one. On contracts you can get them free but are normally tied in for at least a year.
You also dont have WAP
functions. For this you need to pay for the next phone up, the 3330 or 8210.
