NEC N343i

Its style is ok but the content is not very good on my experiences. nice style.slim.good storage size.

No bluetooth, mp3 player and i dont know how to text on it.

The NEC N343i is a pretty stunning supermodel of a phone, sleek in appearance and looks the business. But, predictably, this supermodel is not what its cracked up to be, and a disappointing facade for not actually doing any work!

Within weeks, mine turned off randomly every 30 seconds would not present the contacts list and did not charge. After 3 months it was totally usless.....do not be fooled ! It's now in the bottom drawer, and, as I see from trying to sell it on, not even the charities want them!!

Software problems with the NEC N343i mobile phone mean the menu options disappear randomly. The screen light works unpredictably, and I can't turn off the vibrate function. Audio quality is terrible. There are limited and very irritating ring tones. Is it too much to ask for the thing to ring like a phone?

I like the NEC N343i mobile phone, but I am disappointed about my experience of sending texts abroad though, but at the same time a phone call from it was very clear. The camera generally isn't great quality, but I would never have expected it to be for the price paid for the phone, it is just for snapshots, but with experimenting, you do get to know how to get the best from it.

After a day of having the NEC N434i mobile phone, everyone who called me got feed-back. After a week the vibrate wouldn't stop, then the phone started to flash on and off. The screen turned blue, then it broke down all together! I got a second phone (the same model), and after 1 day the screen has broken. I have not dropped it, got it wet, or knocked it. Awful! A very bad bit of kit indeed.

If you're looking for a very basic and easy to use phone then the NEC N343i is the mobile phone for you!

Living in the Republic of Ireland, the NEC 343i mobile phone was (still is I think) on offer by O2 Ireland (www.o2.ie) as an upgrade for €69, but over a year you get €80 credit. Also, 100 free texts (to Ireland) came with it. Some of the features are a bit awkward, and my previous Nokia had a larger phone book, so I had to delete a few entries, but I had too many anyway.

The NEC 434i is a great mobile phone, but some of the features are dreadful! I would recommend it for the price, but if I had the money I would be buying a new phone.

The NEC N343i mobile phones camera is only 0.3 mega pixels!! what!! Unless all your friends have square heads and bodies, and as long as they don't move on a shot for at least 10 minutes (slight exaggeration) you will love this cheap phone. It cost £50 from Amazon. It is a very classy bit of rubbish for anyone who just phones or texts, and it fits in your pocket very nicely, so that you don't have to be seen dead with the phone that literally just has one use ... a phone! That said, if you only have £50 to spend, then this is your phone!

I recommend the NEC N343i mobile phone if you only want it for basic things i.e. texting and phone calls. However, if you want a good camera etc., I would not recommend it.
