    I bought this a few days ago, and it is AWESOME. Never had one before. It's amazing how a piece of old tech can be more useful than these new smartphones. From my experience, it's less distracting, easier to call someone (just pickup and start dialing), it cannot be used as, essentially, a pocket tracking device, it can go one month on a single charge, it's waterproof and shock proof to some extent. I have a Galaxy 8, but now, I just use it as a "pocket tablet." Only draw backs: camera is rather primative, but at least there's none of that button mashing you get from a text screen. My advice, for $60, give it a try. If it doesn't work, maybe donate it to someone less fortunate who just needs basic communication abilities.

      @mikaachren7611 Před 5 lety +5

      They still SELL these. I believe nostalgia is not the only reason for buying these, not after so long after its introduction. Nostalgia has pretty much died long ago.
      I used one myself for 2 years. I would still use it, except I got an even better phone, a Nokia E75 (from 2009). And the 3310 has some irritating bugs in its software. The S30+ is really not the Symbian OS that Nokia developed for years.
      I know this is not for everyone. It is just for some people, but for them, 3310 is by far the best new phone available. I, for example, don't have FB account, don't use Skype/Whatsapp/Twitter/etc. But I do make lots of calls, and I send lots of text messages. And, for some reason, the touch screens don't work well for me (I have several tablets, and have tested several touch screen phones from different manufacturers), they don't always record my touching the screen. I can feel my finger touching the screen, but the table does not recognize it. Maybe I have dry fingers or something. Whatever the reason, touch screens are a pain to use for me. 3310 has excellent keyboard and every time I press a key, it records, without fail. Very reliable, unlike all touch screen phones I have ever tried. Same thing when I try putting cursor at a specific letter on screen. Only infrequently it actually goes where I want. Most of the time I end up erasing more letters just to the one I'm trying to fix.
      With 3310, I can write messages while walking and paying attention to traffic around me. Not happening with a touch screen phone. Oh, you can tell me about voice control, but having tried number of times for several years, they seem to get only about two thirds of my words correct. I don't have that bad an accent, but... well, it doesn't work for me. Also, I don't want to "talk to myself" while walking outside. Embarrasing. 3310 solved this perfectly: I can easily type without looking at the phone, and still know what is happening around me.
      Same with calling someone. I can select someone I call frequently from the phonebook without looking at the phone.
      For older people the 3310 is also an excellent phone: the user interface is simple enough for most, and the physical keyboard with clearly separated keys is great for someone with shaky hands. Of course, there are phones specifically designed for old people, that have even bigger keys, so 3310 is not necessarily the absolute best for them.
      But there are downsides, too. The software is buggy and falls from the high standard the old Nokia had for phone OS. For example, it will not store the BT headphone ID data correctly. It works perfectly, if I pair the headset every time I use it, but if I don't, it connects again, but somehow the voice quality goes down. I have no problems with the same headset with other phones, only 3310. Also, the phonebook doesn't store first and last name separately, so I have to decide how I want them showed before hand. Luckily I was able to edit the phonebook in computer. One more thing: the original 3310 only had 2G. This is OK normally, but I drive and talk regularly, and there are some, not many but some, spots, where operators' 2G fields fails. Nothing serious, but having 2G/3G/4G would take that annoyance away.

    I just came to learn a bit about a phone.. I was not prepared for the intensity of this guy's presenting style.
    It's the equivalent of expecting to have a nice relaxing Sunday morning in bed, then someone walking in pulling the curtains open and shouting "rise and shine sleepyhead" - simultaneously burning my retinas and piercing my eardrums.
