This nokia model is fantastic and evergreen mobile phone. It is long lasting and good battery life. Comparing to new highly LCD phones this one is easy handling, but it's looks like ordinary model. Almost people trying to get this range of models. I prefer this type of standard models from nokia only to random phone calling and message sending.

This phone is very basic but perfectly useable. The battery life is excellent it can survive up to 3 weeks of heavy useage between charges. Also it is very simple to use with I like. Also it is seemingly indestructable. As I boasted to my friend about its indestructability he knocked it in the sink. Nothing happened at all. I accidently knocked it out of a 25 ft window onto concrete. Not a scratch. Although it could do with offering some more features and the screen is very low quality and not even a colour screen. The games are also I think boring.

Just bought one of these phones second hand - had one back in 1999. Got rid of my nokia N95 (too complicated) and decided to go back to basics! It does everything I want ...ie phone and text. Even today it is not too big or bulky
I seem to remember my previous model of this having a vibrate function ...unfortunately this one doesn't which is the one downside.
Otherwise pretty good.

Well the 3210 has had it's day. You really do not see a lot of people with it. BUT, it's GREAT for kids or a spare phone. I have this phone as a spare phone, and it is OK. Texts, calls and has an alarm.
Not great for business.

I am not interested in phones that do everything including showing videos, brushing the cat, cooking the tea and so on, all in one miniature package.

I bought this phone second hand through eBay for not much, paid a little more to unlock it, slipped in my Fresh network card and there you go. Some months I can spend as much as £5 on calls and texts but to compensate for that profligacy some months I don't need to use it at all. Fresh have a direct debit mandate and I get the confirming bill by email so it is all very simple.

To me a mobile phone is useful sometimes but not often. I keep it in the car and don't often take it out. I regard the modern assumption of instant 'communication' with some distaste and wouldn't want to be part of that culture.

For someone like me this straightforward little phone is ideal.

Brilliant, I have had lots of mobiles since 97 and this was one of the better ones, great games and a composer that was new back then composing your own ringtones had in January 2001 and still got it I don't use it anymore beacause I have upgraded but everybody likes the smooth keypad why did they stop making those keys? Generally brilliant but then it is a Nokia.

Very reliable phone, rugged, still looks as good as new even though I've had it 2+ years. I've had smaller/newer phones that cost me a small fortune and finished up going back to the 3210, as the keys are easier to read and use. I don't need any fancy little gimmicks, this phone works well for all I need it to do.

Nokia 3210 - It was my first nokia phone and I was very satisfied with its functions and ergonomics. Its functions were considered one of the easiest compared to many phones of other brands at that time. Signal was also good. Battery life is reasonable. Design is rather sleek with nice express-on covers.

I use the Nokia 3210 as a spare in case of emergencies now. When I got it, it was a well-made phone with a fair range of tones and the games weren't bad. I didn't have any problems with the signal and the battery was good too. Although it's looking a bit outdated now, it's a good phone to have as your first without great expense. I did drop it by accident in my garden when it was snowing once, and found it the next day still working and never suffered from any side effects which I was well impressed about. A good, reliable phone.

The Nokia 3210 was a great breakthrough for Nokia as it was small then. Other phones makes a great starter phone easy to use.

I have had my Nokia 3210 for 3 years and use it as a spare phone in case of emergencies it has had very little problems other than wear and tear items cover etc the battery gave up the chase a few months ago so i brought a new one for £9 and it is as good as new the only other problem i have with this phone is that there isn't a vibration function on it :(

The Nokia 3210 is an easy to use mobile phone from Nokia with all the simple features such as games and texting which would suite someone who does not want the more advanced features such as a camera or Bluetooth.

This Nokia 3210 was my second nokia mobile phone, upgrading from a 5110, i saw great improvement. the phone was great at the time and had the latest technology such as picture messaging and t9. This was what started nokia- thanks to them, i then upgradedto the ever popular 3310, which i found, not much better. with barely any different features, i think the 3210 is great and will be remembered for a long time

I got the Nokia 3210 free from one of my family. I didn't mind that it was out of date by the time I got it (I had really old Alcatel at the time). It's reliable, it looks good, decent games, ringtone composer, picture messages, an excellent first phone. Looking at most of the new phones by Nokia, it seems they will never be able to top the success of the 3210. However, the reception on it did fail at the end of it's life. But that was my fault, I sat on it when I fell down whilst ice skating...!

The 3210 was the first mobile phone i ever had from Nokia.It truly impressed me when it was released.It certainly was in the limelight and caught everyone's attention with it's internal attenna,battery and real different design.It really ruled the mobile world for a fairly long period.This phone has the basic features and the buttons are a delight to press.It's user friendliness makes it a joy to use.Though the phone is outdated now,comparing its black and white display with the colour LCDs and MMS today,Nokia certainly owes its achievement to the 3210.It's truly one of the greatest and most wonderful phones i ever used!Cheers to it!!

The Nokia 3210 is a good and reliable phone on texting and calls. not so many features but an excellent one among its class when it was first introduced in the market. China made LCDs don't last long after a few accidents.

Nokia 3210 is, for me, the classic Nokia phone. Let's face it, what we REALLY use mobiles for are texts and calls, and this does the job better than any other in my opinion. Since this model, Nokias have only become more fiddly and full of useless features. Though I have to concede that the 3310 was fine, and a bit lighter.

It is a joy to use, with the classic Nokia interface and predictive text. Also, it has the best mobile game bar none: the original "Snake"!(which is in a different league to its abysmal sequel the 3310 plays host to!)

It is not without its faults of course. I guess it's not the smallest phone in the world, but HOW TINY DO YOU WANT A PHONE?? Personally I find it slightly reassuring when a phone can just about stretch from my ear to my mouth during use.

The biggest bugbear is that it can be rather unreliable after a couple of years. Maybe this is an acceptable lifespan for a phone, but it does mean that anyone considering this phone second hand should be slightly cautious! I'm sure Nokia include some kind of two year self destruct feature!

So, overall, a great phone, though I'm being slightly sentimental. It's days are numbered, and if you are looking at one second hand, make sure its very cheap!

This Nokia 3210 mobile phone has served me very well over the past 3 years, and worked in thailand on my recent trip.
I often go down the coast, I always manage to get enough reception to make a call, and most others cant. For its time, the features are great, though old, the phone does just a good a job than any other phone. Includes classic games, snake, memory and others, and is now extremly cheap to but, around $40 in australia. It never cuts out calls, and the LCD screen has lasted well, and is still really clear and easy to read. I reccommend this mobile to people who want a "emergancy" mobile, and I would opt for a more recent phone if u use your mobile on a day to day basis, I hope this has been usefull,
