Advantages: rock solid, reliable and one of the most advanced of its time

Disadvantages: outdated

Like all Nokia's this phone is completely indestructable. And at the peak of its popularity in the year 2000 this phone was the pinnickle of mobile phone technology with its use of WAP for accessing the internet. This was really special for the time because it was a real leap in how we looked at mobiles. And if I am so bold as to say I feel that this phone was the start of the future for looking at a mobile for more than just playing pixilated games, phoning people and sending text messages.

The phones memory is very good aswell, with this phone you are looking at about 120 text messages before the dreaded *some text missing* sign appears at the bottom of your text messages and this is very annoying but inevitable when it comes to phones of this age. But none the less this phone is solid and packed full of features and games.

The features on this phone are rather impressive for such an old phone, one of the greatest improvements from the Nokia 3310 is that the screen resolution is much higher with a display of 96x64 picture elements and also the ability ro download personal applications via Java Technology, this was something that was unknown on mobile phones. As mentioned before the phone has a WAP browser, this was the WAP 1.1 Browser and also had WAP push capabilities and also SMS chat.

The phone also has dedicated call and hang buttons which make it much more convenient for dealing with phone calls. And on top of this, games that run on the 3410 run much slower on the 3310, which shows that there is a definite improvement in processing power of this phone from previous models.

These days the phone can be bought off ebay for around £45 and all of its accessories are extremely cheap. A great bargain if you need a back up phone.

Summary: I still have this phone and use it as a back up. nearly 10 years later
