Advantages: Simple, Durable

Disadvantages: Battery life, No colour

LOL.. My dad used this phone, I used this phone before my 8210 and before my 7250i. I still have it today, but it's as a spare. Yes, I'm a nokia fan. BIG NOKIA FAN.

WHY NOKIA
-----------------
1. DURABILITY. It's the only phone as far as I know which can stand a thousand falls. I've dropped my phone so many times I've lost count. I've smashed it on the fall because of anger so many time and it still doesn't die. Hands up if you have had the same experience. 3 cheers for nokia!

2. Nokia was the first to come up with the xpress cover change. With nokia you feel like you have more than one phone thanks to all these colourful and varied covers. I can even change my 8210 to look like an 8250. Shows how flexible it is as well! Lovely things.

3. Easy to change LEDs. You can install so many extra features onto Nokia phones, extra LED bulbs, change the screen picture, background picture, basically there's so many things which you can modify about this phone it's just great.

4. Their charges are standard, which means you can use it for almost any nokia phones. Unlike some other brands which the chargers only fit one specific model. The nokia chargers are also small, and direct plug-ins. Very convenient. Some other brands have chargers which are station adapters, bulky and ugly.

WHY 3310
---------------
1. Keypad size. If you have an 8210, or 8310 or something of that size. Admit it, it's really quite hard to type fast messages. With 3310 I broke records on sms speeed times. The size of the keypad i just ideal for those who love smsing.

2. The features and functions on the phone are kept simple and boils down to necessity. It includes:
- Text features, inbox, outbox
- General settings (straight forward instructions)
- Song composer
- Call register
- Address book
- Calculator, to do list
These are all the basic functions you need to have a c
omfortable to use phone. The new gadgets are simply not necessary to be honest. WAP phones just make you spend more money. Why go on the internet using a small handphone while you can surf and do everything much faster on the internet. There's internet cafes everywhere nowadays.

3. SNAKE II. Funny isn't it how I review this as one of the best feature. But so far on mobile phones I think SNAKE is the genius of all games. I've been addicted to SNAKEII that I play almost everyday, not only at the bus stop or while waiting for friends. I can't believe my new advance 7250i doesn't have snake included, such a dissapointment.

4. It suits almost everyone. Not too expensive, not too ugly either. You can't go wrong with this phone. It's not too small for the older generation, so you won't have to worry about putting on glasses to read th pads.

SLIGHT disadvantages
-------------------------------
1. It's a bit bulky for the pockets. I put my phone in my pocket most of the time and this model seems to be a wee bit too big. I would recommend therefore to use 8210 or 7250i if you want something slimmer.

2. Battery time. Unlike the latest models, somehow the battery life of this model ends quite early. It lasts for about 2 days on standby before I have to charge it again. This applies to both my dad's phone and mine.

3. No colour screen, small screen. The screen is quite small, so it doesnt look as sophisticated as a 7250i. Younger generation may not like this phone anymore because they find it outdated, dull and not impressive. Personally, I think necessity and function is more important than cosmetics. Beauty is from within :)

---------------------------------------------- -------------------

I think that's about it really. It's a simple phone, doesn't require a sophisticated analysis. I'm sure many will like it because of it's simplicity. As Mies
Van Der Rohe says it 'LESS IS MORE' Cherrio!
