Nokia 3310 - To Extinction

Posted on Friday, October 13, 2006 by Arun Basil Lal

Once it was awarderd as the most user-friendly phone but is now out of fashion. The phone which had a glorious past, and which had to sink deep with the launch of much emulated version Nokia 1100. This one is another quality product from master phone makers Nokia.

The phone features a cute look which once made it the most wanted cell of common people. It has a casing which looks pretty strong. The keys on the keypad are placed really far apart imroving the usability of the keys and helps once type sms's faster. The phone has a monophonic ring tone and has got a composer to create ur own ringtones. It has got a storage for 5 ringtones which can be created or downloaded. The display is yellow backlit and is monochromatic. It recieves the signals from signal towers with high quality so u can always talk with good sound quality. The battery provided is a Lithium-ion battery. It rechargs when plugged to power supply in about 3 hours. A light weight travellers battery which is light weight and recharges faster, is also optionally available.

With standard menus having a phone book, messages, profiles, call register, clock, reminder, sim services, settings, call diverts and games it has got all the necessary functions. The easiness of use makes the phone a dear one for inexperinced users.

One negative side of this product is that it is really bulky and large looks ( This was the key factor that led to its extinction when Nokia 1100 came ). Its recharger provided is also equally bulky. Another one is that it has got no phone book memmory or message mommory. You have to depend on the space on ur sim for that.

Today in India, its not available as a brand new one ( If I am not wrong ). Second hand Nokia 3310 is available for Rs700 and may go up to RS 1200. Being cheap yet handy its a good choice for beginners. Everything that is born has to die oneday..right..?
