Nokia 3100

This is a 2012 review, written by a 17-year-old typical teenager, whom has this phone. What does that tell you. Well, it tells how bloody amazing this phone is. It's where it all started; before all of these smart phones.All you need is tha ability to text, call, and turn the brightness up for when you're in the sun. BUT, you don't even need that with this phone, because as well as having a back-light, that backlight can turn off, letting you use natural light to see the screen. This is just one of the reasons why the battery lasts for over a week! Anywat, it's good.

Nice to handle, good sounds, good network signal. It's a nice mobile to use it is user friendly for any kind of the people and it had good screen clarity.

The Nokia 3100 was my second phone after my first, Nokia 3400. It's a good phone and believe me, very sturdy! It's had many, many accidents and still works perfectly, I'm still using it today, but I'm getting a new phone later this year. This one won't go in the bin though! One of the 3100's best points is, in my opinion, the alarm clock. You can set it very easily and it has a snooze control etc. The alarm also goes off even when your phone has been switched off, which I have found very handy. The keypad of this phone is simple and easy to use, there's no annoying 'extra' buttons, you can access the internet by pressing and holding the 0 key. The phone's screensaver is very good too. After a few minutes a large display digital clock pops up which is great for telling the time quickly. The 3100 comes with three games; Snake 2, bowling and Beach Rally which, to be honest, I don't think are terribly bad, despite the new gaming technology available on mobile phones these days.

The 3100 is a great cheap phone with no silly frills or features, it's simple and works like a gem. The battery life is excellent, better than what you get today and I would still recommend this phone for anyone to buy who wants a simple, reliable colour phone with a few handy features and no complicated rubbish.

This is the phone I have right now. Nothing too special, nothing too bad. A simple coloured phone with a space of about 1mb or so. Has the GPRS which could be better, but is OK, and sometimes I really wish it would have a camera. But overall, the phone is simple, nice and probably pretty cheap right about these times, so its good.

This is a typical Nokia. It should be nice and cheap by now, would be a good PAYG phone.

I thought the glow in the dark bit was quite pointless til it fell out of my pocket in the cinema, I managed to spot where it was!

The one phone I've had with changeable covers, and I didn't take advantage! But it was a nice blue!

The attachable camera was annoying, gave up with it. Picture quality from it wasn't amazing. But it was OK at the time, things get out dated quickly these days! I have always had infrared on my phones, so I missed it! You can't go wrong with this phone, it's got the basics for a colour phone.

The Nokia 3100 is a good phone all around if you're looking for a simple phone which is easy to use. I would recommend this phone to people who don't need many features.

Bought after 3 years with a Philips Savvy, so came as an extreme culture shock!

Excellent as a basic phone, which concentrates on voice communication (texting looks OK, but not really my forte).

For the price (£60 - O2 pre-pay) it knocks spots of the competition in terms of display and key-pad. Can't imagine why I would need anything else for 'phoning / texting.

Before this phone I had the Nokia 5110, 3210 and 3310. They were almost the same phone with different look so I didn't expect much from the 3100. Well the 3100 has really a lot of new *useful* features (see good points) it's so amazing. I could try the Sony Ericsson T230 and the Alcatel OT332 which are in the same price category and damn the 3100 is easier to use and so much better on many points.

The Nokia 3100 is a great phone to use for a simple person or at the work place. It has got some advanced features such as color screen, MMS, Java games and color screen savers. But it also lacks on some new features such as built in camera, infa-red, Bluetooth I suppose this is why it's a value for money phone.

Overall the Nokia 3100 is a very good phone if you are just going to use it for phone calls and texting, but if your buying it for the gadgets it's not that good, as the camera is hideous. Even though I have seen a blue version of the camera online, so it comes in red/orange/blue.
