Advantages: Cheap and does the job

Disadvantages: No gimmicky stuff

Although perhaps a bit dated now the 3510i is still a half decent phone which will do a good job for you. It is pretty much close to the standard Nokia shape an d design of the late nineties early naughties, with one exception it has funky orange lights on the side which can flash to alert of incoming calls or texts.

The menu system is very standard for Nokia too being that it has Main catagories which in turn have subcatagories.It is esy to use and navigate once you get the initial idea.It has a coloour screen for which you can download various wallpapers and screensavers, and the quality of picture depends a lot on the quality of the download, which in most cases has been adequate at best.

It aslo has polyphonic ringtones which are quite good if not to the same standard as the ringtones one might expect from the newer phones. downloading ringtones is also possible and there are plenty free websites where this can be done.

The phone comes loaded with a few games which are pretty good and once again more can be downloaded from the net some free and some costing in the region of £3.50 - £4.50.

The inbuilt organiser is very useful in here you can create and save appointments and birthdays. An Alarm is available in the same menu as the organiser.

One really handy feature is the wallet ehere you can create a mini database of credit and debit card details. That is numbers and pins. This facility is password protected by a password of your choice.

The phone has a decent memory for storing contact details and it operation for phonong and texting is very simple. As I said at the begining it is a bit dated now, it is a basic phone, but does have a good assortment of features and has never dropped a call or been unable to get a signal.

The battery life is in the range of a week on standby, and charging time varies from a few hours to 6 hours depending on how dead the battery is when charging begins.

The cover is interchangeable with many you can purchase at markets for a few quid. All in all it is for its age a very good phone, and at a price of around 19.99 is a decent buy. It probably is not suitable for the younger among you because it ain't as cool and sleek as some of the phones currently coming onto the market. if you are on a low budget and just need a phone to text and store a few bits of info then for £19.99 you can't really go wrong can you.

Summary: A half decentphone for the prce
