Nokia Mobile 3310 3G - Red - RETIRED

I have been using this phone as my main cell phone for 9 months. I was formerly an Android user, and wanted to get away from smartphones. Overall, I've been very happy with this phone. The ringer is loud, speakerphone is loud, and call quality is solid. Besides phone calls, I do some texting. I find the T9 texting with predictive text to be fairly quick, once you get the hang of it (sometimes VERY quick!). Sure, it's not as fast overall as a smartphone keyboard, but I like that, because it makes me not want to text all the time! In my life, I want texting to be limited to short messages conveying important information, such as "traffic - running 15 minutes late." I don't want to carry on long, involved conversations via texting. I prefer to talk on the phone for that. I like some of the other features of the phone, and find them quite usable. The mp3 player is fine, and even supports a playlist. I've used it on many morning hikes (I put a 2GB card in the phone and carry plenty of songs), and have often used bluetooth to connect the phone to bluetooth speakers and car stereos. The sound quality is great. My only complaint would be that the interface is slow inside the mp3 player. That might be because I am using an external card with many songs - I'm not sure. I sometimes use the stopwatch, countdown timer, basic calculator, and flashlight. They are all solid. I didn't expect the camera to be great, and it's not. But it has come in handy a number of times when I was in a store and wanted to take a picture of a product or product label for later research. If the lighting is bad, however, it's hard to get a shot that isn't blurry. Even good shots don't look great on the little phone screen, but when I upload them to a computer using a usb cable (very simple to do) they look much better. Here's what I wish was better about the phone: (1) When texting, I wish there was a way to save words in a custom dictionary. For example, if I want to spell an ethnic name, I can't use predictive text - I have to choose one letter at a time. And then the next time I want to use that name, I have to do the same thing again. I wish I could save the name in a custom dictionary that the phone would later use as part of predictive text. (2) There is no notepad type app. Yes, the keypad would make typing long notes impractical, but it would be handy to be able to save some simple notes on the phone. I end up texting myself, which isn't ideal. (3) The phone "times out" very quickly, turning the screen off while I am pausing to think. For me that means when I press a button to turn it back on, I am at the lock screen. I like a lock screen to prevent" butt dialing," but I wish I could increase the time before the screen turns off. (4) There is no way to remove the bloatware games, which I have no use for. Despite those limitations, I'm very glad I bought the phone. It does what I need it to do, is well constructed, and doesn't use much battery. I didn't mention the 3G data support, because I can't get it to work on my cell company's network in my city. This is the network's fault, though, not the phone's. But I don't need the data features, anyway. Consider your needs and expectations carefully! As for me, I would buy this phone again.

Are you tired of smartphones? Well, this one is a fantastic compromise. Mind you, it's a pricey thing, as it's a novelty product after all, but all the things it does, it does great: by being just a phone and nothing more. --System UI--- If you're like me, and are only familiar with Windows Phone, Android and Nokia's old Symbian OS, the new user interface would take a bit of time getting used to. It's not because it's difficult to use, it's a really simple interface designed to be user friendly. Rather, it's because I had to adjust to the interface because of how relatively simple it is. Anything that's important to the practicality of a phone is provided to you in as few clicks as possible, and that's pretty awesome. WARNING, there's no Wifi. --Battery Life---- It's great. It's really great. You wouldn't have to charge this phone for upwards of a week. I really missed that. With heavy usage, it obviously goes down, but being such a simple phone, heavy usage is likely not going to be a thing. ---For those of you buying this for Nostalgia feelings--- This phone isn't going to cut it for you. The changes to the software and features, as well as the size and make of the phone (it's so thin and light) is not going to activate any kind of nostalgia you had for the original save for wondering why phones can't go back to buttons anymore. To sum up, the phone is strong, the screen vibrant and decently lit, the battery life is fantastic and you don't have to worry about bugs, being constantly connected to online noise (social networks and otherwise) or malware. The phone is very much of the Nokia quality, and for anyone who just wants a phone, or want to give someone the gift of just a phone, it's worth every penny.

I have very bad experience. Ever since got Nokia 3310 mobile. From that day till today whenever someone calling me then the mobile switched off and when I press their button it doesn't work. Then I have to take out the battery and I put the mobile battery in it again, then by doing this the mobile starts working. No Need Thanks because i am disheart

Lo compre hace 2 años, y me ha funcionado, muy resistente, con el tiempo se alenta el telefono, tiene buena señal (telcel), lo puedes conectar a tu auto con bluetooth, y audifonos bluetooth sin problemas, solo que si es tardado vincularlo al dispositivo, en mi caso a veces que saco el chip, se desconfigura la hora y fecha, y aveces cuando saco la bateria igual. Pero la vdd buen telefeno. Si tiene carga el telefono y lo apagas, y tienes una alarma programada aun asi suena la alarma, (estando apagado). Lo cargo 1 vez a la semana.

It says battery lasts standby for 24 days, but actually it lasts only for one week. Everything else looks great. But battery is not as expected

Mi mamá siempre se negó a usar un celular, pero ante la falla de su línea fija (gracias Telmex!) ya no tuvo de otra; y ante la adicción a likes y demás, tenía razón! El único requerimiento era que fuera muy sencillo. Mis propios requerimientos eran que fuera confiable, durable y con una pila que durara más que los "smartphones". A pesar de representar un regreso al pasado, es un teléfono bonito, práctico y que parece funcionar bien. Sorpresa: enviar mensajes de texto presionando varias veces en el teclado numérico genera menos errores que escribir en una pantalla... Acerca de la confiabilidad y durabilidad, ya veremos, pero de entrada no tendría porque quedar obsoleto a los dos años con las actualizaciones de sistema... Dado que no hay mucho que actualizar. El color es más "coral" o sea un rosa anaranjado, que rojo, hubiera sido mejor que con detalles en gris claro o blanco que en imitación metal plateado, pero es un detalle. Lo bueno es que con ese color es menos probable que se pierda. El siguiente modelo "4g" sería hasta más práctico cuando salga, si se atiene a la promesa de compartir la conexión a Internet con otros dispositivos y permitir el uso de apps y mapas.

Excelente producto, nostalgia pura y dura. Lo compre para mi abuelo y se adapto si problemas, cuenta con redes sociales (obviamente con funciones muy limitadas) algo que no creo que le interese a quien compre este teléfono. Funcionó sin problemas con Telcel y AT&T. Cuenta con navegador Opera y funciona con red 3G Cabe mencionar tambien que no es dual sim (como el modelo de la imagen) pero es algo que ya sabia al momento de realizar la compra.
