Advantages: Good keypad, screen and battery life.

Disadvantages: Lack of advanced features and web browser a bit limiting.

The Nokia 3510i, although basic still offers some useful features and it's very robust and easy to use. I've dropped it several times onto hard surfaces with no damage except a couple of scratches. The keypad is brilliant, even after hard use for several years it still remains in good condition.
The keys are well spaced and have a very positive feel. The keys are clearly labelled, which greatly helps accomplish any task. The power button (which is on the top edge of the mobile) is a bit hard to press, needing a hard press to turn the phone on, but also protecting against accidentally switching it off.
The screen is also good, considering it is an old mobile, making it easy to read text messages and enter phone numbers.
The battery life is impressive, even when its several years old. Although the Nokia doesn't have a camera it does include gprs so you can still surf the internet. A downside is that the phone is a bit slow, so you can only really view mobile webpages.
Focusing on using it as a mobile phone (which it was designed for after all!) ; The ring volume is very loud and the microphone/speaker are good quality, so I found even in a noisy environment I could still easily make/receive calls.
Overall I think this is a great phone for someone who only needs a basic handset. Probably couldn't recommend it today, as it is quite old now.

Summary: A phone that just keeps on working!!
