    Good Points: Great key size... for big fingers! Simple to use Uncomplicated.. very straightforward.

    Bad Points: No high tech gadgetery, No picture facility...

    General comments: I love this phone, I can't tear myself away... although the battery is fading... however I have just found a new battery provider so expect my 3210 to go on and on... it is simple... practical.. and reliable.. great stuff!

    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. Alternatives/Upgrades : 6310i - Business 3310 (Nokia)

    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 confirmi ...

    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 impre ...

    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 ...

    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 ...

    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 ...

    When i got this phone (about just over 2 years ago) it was just before the 3310 came out and was one of the best phones on the market that a cheap student like me could afford. However, suddenly the 3310 came out and it was instantly dated, after i'd only had it about a month. Since then , many many more phones have come out, making it date even more, but being on pay-as-you-go, there were no upgrades available and so i've stuck with it ever since. As i have found with nokias, the screen has sta ...

    The Nokia 3210 was a breakthrough for Nokia and now a trademark in my opinion because since the 3210 Nokia phones in one way or another they have looked like the 3210, just getting smaller or wider thats all. The internal antenna was big for Nokia because there was no antenna sticking in your leg all the time while you was on the move. phones will always get better because of the 3210 and most phones in the future will be based on that one phone.

    I have finally got to get a new phone - but I don't really want to! My 3210 has served me well. It has been reliable, sturdy (despite the number of times I have dropped it over the years) and, at the time I got it, was very futuristic, and still does not look out of place today. Put it this way, I'm not ashamed to answer it in public! The games are basic, but good, the T9 dictionary is still being used in new phones today, and although the graphics are basic, they serve the purpose well. I h ...
