Nokia 3100 review from United Kingdom
"Basic phone features, but great to live with!!"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
Except for getting dirty, and the outer screen getting scratched, not a lot.
The speaker has started to cause some problems though. May simply be dirt, or it may be that roughly 2 and a half years has taken its toll.
General comments?
A good, basic phone, that does everything you need.
It's very simple to use. The menus are easy to navigate with plenty of shortcuts. Sending a text message is simple. There's room for lots of extra polyphonic ringtones!
The phone is nice and small, while still being big enough to easily use. It's also very light, so doesn't weigh down my pocket too much.
"Xpress-on" covers mean you can easily personalise the phone to suit you: You can even buy different buttons to suit you!
I've had no problems with my phone in the 2 years and 5 months I've had it. It always charges first shot, and lasts the best part of a week before needing charged again.
The alarm clock and calendar features are simple to use, and very handy!
Text messaging is easy. I have sent over 9,500 messages with this phone, so it must be a breeze!
It lacks a camera (an expensive add-on by buying a Nokia "fun" camera), but that is not a downside. It still boasts a colour screen, which isn't the clearest, but is still clear enough to live with on a daily basis.
A great little phone, really!
