It works well for my purpose. I can send emails and also use the facility of the bluetooth feature.
What does one do when their phone is not included in the list of blackberries in Garmin nuvi. Is there a software one can buy to upload into nuvi... Well recommend this mobile phone Nokia 8310.

I would highly recommend the Nokia 8310 mobile phone!! It is nicely designed, and very tolerant if dropped.

I bought my Nokia 8310 second hand 2 years ago and it has been great! Small size makes it easy to slip in your pocket, has alarm clock with snooze, voice recorder and stop clock (and other functions I've never used like the radio and WAP).
I've read some of the other reviews about noise and turning itself off. I've never had the noise but about 2 months ago it did start re-booting itself. However, considering this phone is about 3 years old and had been fine up till then, I think that's pretty good, and even now it doesn't happen very often.
I previously had a Nokia nk402 which I also had for a couple of years and was great - I only replaced it because of the size. However, despite the 8310 having more features, the nk402 performs better on being able to edit texts quickly, stores the date and time of texts received and sent, and when texts are received goes straight to the inbox menu so you can see who the texts from before reading it whereas the 8310 goes straight into reading the texts. These are only minor fiddly bits though which probably wouldn't bother many.
I would intend on keeping the 8310 a lot longer - the only reason I'm thinking of changing it is because over the last few months I've been get a burning behind my ear after using the phone and so have decided for safety sake to get a phone with loudspeaker and bluetooth.
For anyone thinking of buying a fairly basic phone (without camera, colour screen or polophonic tones) this is good as it's easy to use and a fantastic size. Anyone wanting a bit more oomph with modern gadgets may find this a bit outdated though.

The Nokia 8310 is the best phone I have had 4 years now I have had it paid an arm and a leg for it £299 but it was worth it 4 years hassle free brilliant battery life. I have made calls and sent text and it is still on full battery after 5 days with the 400 hour battery in it, one word for it, amazing.

Can't fault the 8310 yet. Not had it long but I'm pleased with it. I have recently got rid off a Nokia 6820 and I prefer the 8310.
It's got a good radio, messaging key board, and excellent blue light.

Had a Nokia 8310 for a year and a half and all was fine until not long ago when it would switch itself off, unlock without me touching it and send texts when I was halfway through writing them.

Nokia 8310 - A nice phone to hold, but a bad phone to use. The software is very unstable and hangs often. It also switches off by itself all the time even after the phone was sent back to Nokia for repairs about 3 times. The calender function is also not as good as the 6510's. Some functions are not even on par to the 6510 even though it's more expensive than the 8310 and under the same category. Not a good phone to buy.

I had the Nokia 8310 for about 12 months, and at first it was the best phone I had owned so far. But from 6 months onwards it was always rejecting the sim card, re-booting itself (switching off and turning back on) and I had never dropped it at all. A lot of my friends owned this phone at the time and many had the same problems. On the good side, it had a radio, a blue screen (or red) which made a change from the boring green. It looked great and the best thing for me was the memory capacity to store text messages. However, by the end of 12 months when I upgraded, I couldn't wait to get rid of it.

Both I and my wife have owned Nokia 8310s for over a year. Faults include:
Random rebooting
Sporadic loss of connection to SIM card
On/off button disintegrates.
Yes we have sent many texts and talked/surfed a lot on these phones but neither lasted more than 1 year without developing the faults above.

The Nokia 8310 is a truly excellent mobile phone which in my opinion cannot be faulted. It does the job extremely well and efficiently even after I have dropped it on the floor and on hard road surfaces several times. The logic is excellent as on all Nokias. The only drawback is that it is not 'Bluetooth' without extras.

I have had the Nokia 8310 for just under a year now. At first i thought it was great it appeared to look great and have exiting games. But as timw went on the novelty sort of wore of. The games become quite boring after a while. It looks very good but it is old and out of date now. Also it doesn't have composer so every time you want a new tone you have to pay about £2-£3 for it! The internet works well and is easy to use. It has a calender which can process dates untill about the year 4000! you can have about 200 text messages in your inbox so it has a lot of memory. What did disapoint me thought is that you cant have a screen saver! As i said earlier you cant really hear the ringtones that well even when its on maximum volume, but maybe that is just my phone. I wouldn't really recommend buying this now because it is a bit out of date. However if you dont have alot of cash too spend on a mobile and dont really want a picture or a colour phone this is the mobile for you! Hope ive been of help and please feel free to rate this review.

Since the Nokia 8310 mobile phone came out i loved it, it was small, cute and had great colours. i thought it would be good and it was for the first couple of months and then i started to have problems. The mobile phone would turn off by itself, the voice recorded wouldn't record, bad reception on the FM Radio and now my games don't work! there is no ringtone composer and it costs heaps to ring up companies on $3 a minute. i do still like my phone but would like a colour/camera phone but i like the size and style of the 8310.

Although this Nokia 8310 mobile phone, looks and feels great. It's not great value for money when you end up having to ring people back all the time due to the fact that they can't hear you.

The Nokia 8310 is very stylish and is small enough to fit in the smallest of pockets. BUT, it switches off without warning meaning you miss calls and texts etc.
Callers often complain about a squeeling noise when they call me. This is not audiable to me, but means sometimes calls have to be terminated and made again.
The radio is a cool feature. Some of the other features are useless. You would never use them.
Not the best phone on the market by a long shot.

The Nokia 8310 is one of the better mobile phones NOKIA came out with. Unfortunatly, like the others, it had it's flaws. However, overall it is a very easy to use phone with a solid structure. (they can do without the games though...)

This phone is light-weight, stylish, practical, functional, has a huge memory, interchangable covers and keypads, attractive white/blue lcd lighting. I love it. For someone who likes to keep a lot of their messages this phone is perfect and if you're a fast texter this is perfect with or without predictive text, with non-sticking buttons.
I know that this phone model is supposed to have a fault but I haven't had too much trouble with mine. I think it may have turned itself off once, and my welcome notes do not appear on the screen sometimes when I turn it on but thats about the only problem I had.

The Nokia 8310 has a software problem which is well known by nokia. The phone will last a couple of months if you are lucky then needs a software upgrade which is not easy to do if you know nothing about it.

I picked up a Nokia 8310 as a free upgrade from my 8210 (which was 2 years trouble free). All I wanted was a small mobile phone that works well for basic use so I figured the 8310 would be as good - right ? WRONG. Whilst I haven't suffered the 'switch off' problems apparently common with this phone, friends and family constantly complain about line noise when they ring me, likening the noise to 'crackling' and 'a fax machine'.
I will probably switch back to my 8210 until my next 'free upgrade' and shop around, read reviews etc before taking up any offers!
I feel I have had to score this really low because reception should be the numero uno consideration with a phone shouldn't it?
