It works well for my purpose. I can send emails and also use the facility of the bluetooth feature.

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...

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. (read more)

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.

Written on: 13/09/2004 by wilber (7 reviews written)
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. (read more)

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... (read more)

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. (read more)

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!... (read more)

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...

Written on: 28/02/2004 by maniac1701d (1 review written)
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.

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...

The Nokia 8310 mobile phone is alright but I just noticed some problems with the screen when browsing the menu. The display is not consistent, shadows of last menu or display can still be noticed when you're already on the other side of what you've just punched. Overshots the border and I find this one ugly. I have had several Nokia phones before but the screens are good and rich with clarity and contrast even the animated menus, 3310 particularly, but unlike this one. Do you think that... (read more)

My Nokia 8310 went to nokia care at least 4 times to solve the problem of hanging, turning on and off on its own when in a call, old messages are sent many times like they get stuck in the network, therefore, drains battery cos i keep opening and deleting the same message, sometimes there's a feedback before it hangs completely and i have to turn it off and on again. phonebook is too small. in the end after the 4 times it went in for repair at nokiacare, the problems still linger.

The Nokia 8310 mobile phone is very easy to use, like all nokia phone it is user-friendly and menus are easy to follow.
if u like a small and un-bulky phone, then this phone will work for you. small and cute it also has a vibra alert for those discret moments u don't want people hearing your phone ringing.
one good thing about this phone is that if u have an Irda port in your PC u can change the phone's operator logo, and also u can upload ringtones.

The Nokia 8310 mobile phone's tech support probably doesn't exist when their phones are designed by so-called "fashion designers"? They never bother to respond to customers' complain even so when the phone is still under warranty. While the 8310 is monochrome LCD, their color display counterparts (at the time of writing this) are of low resolution but highly priced as well.
Talktime battery life for 8310 is marginally poor as compared to the old 6150. Other irritating things in the 8310...

Well Nokia should realize that they're not always on the top unless they'll improve their products and start anew like the era of 6150, 5110, and 3210!!!! I still keep my reliable 5110 in my drawer (not been repaired since 1998!!) in case this so called SOPHISTICATED 8310 wants to do what it only likes disregarding the wishes of the person who owns it. Paging Nokia Corp., stop disconnecting people....PLEASE!!

Also quite durable when they hit the road although best avoided of course.

But if there is any phone that comes close to a color phone, it has to be the nokia8310.

Written on: 08/07/2003 by Prion.
I "graduated" to a Nokia 8310 from the older 8210. Its main selling point was really its size. I wanted a phone that I could bring with me on nights out which would fit comfortably and inconspicuously into my trouser pocket. The 8310 does just that. It is a nice size phone, with decent reception and enough features to get you through, although it won't blow the minds of any technophiles. I have had it for over a year now so feel able to comment on it reasonably dispassionately.

I've heard here and there terrible stories about this great phone's software stability, but so far(i bought it 4 months ago)i must consider myself very lucky...no problems at all. Software version is 5.80,for those interested on the subject. Reception and features are better than good, compared to, say,Motorola V50.

Immensely annoying. I know a lot of people who have these Nokia 8310, and everyone has had problems. The model they replaced had software problems, and as usual Nokia replaced it with another one just as bad. The problems didn't start straightaway, but have got continuously worse. It turns off when you are trying to reply to an email, and periodically shows a message that the sim card needs to be inserted.

I was very happy to get this phone when it came out and enjoyed listening to the radio which was very handy. All the other features worked well. However the phone would often shut itself down, and crash. A couple of friends also experienced this with theirs as well. Some got replacements but still the same happened.

This phone is brilliant. How could you rate it 0/10. It has a built in radio and it is really small and cool. It is a heavy phone
