Nokia 3330 Review

Overall Rating

Small easy to use - plenty of other Nokia chargers around to borrow. Good basic simple phone for a techno-phobe.

Bit basic now compared to current phones. No polyhponic tones, No camera, no colour screen etc.

The whole design of the phone is very good, Nokia do seem to have kept to the same way of doing things with their phones and having owned one of their old brick style phones some years ago I quickly worked out how to use the main features. The style is very pleasant to look at and hold, not so light and small that I would lose it, yet tiny enough to fit in my smallest handbags.

Basically I only use a mobile phone to make the occasional call and some text messaging, but my son has a tendency to borrow it to play the games on it so I am guessing they are ok. I leave my phone on almost all the time but only use it to call or text occasionally and I find it only needs charging a couple of times a week. If charged while switched off the battery will be full within one to two hours. More often than not I charge my phone while it is still on as I get calls on it quite often, if you charge this way it does take longer, I usually leave mine charging overnight.

Texting is so simple on a Nokia after having suffered a silly Trium for almost a year! Last night I had an ecstatic phone call from my aged (!) mother informing me that at last she had a mobile phone she could use! Yes, she too has Nokia 3330 now! It is incredibly handy having a Nokia as it means that mostly wherever I am, I can borrow a charger if I am getting a bit flat!

Having a vibrate alert is really very handy when I am at work and I have worked out, all by myself, how to change my ringtone so that I get one ring on a quiet setting and vibrate. (Told you it was simple to use!).

I can definitely recommend the Nokia 3330 to all non-techie mobile users, it is very simple to use. Also it seems to be quite strong; I have dropped mine on a number of occasions and can see no damage so far!
