Review

The Nokia 5165 is an old design phone that one can clearly make out from the external antenna. Supported networks are AMPS 800 / TDMA 800 / TDMA 1900. Forget latest features, even standard functions such as Calculator, Calendar are absent. Present however is the alarm function, thrown in as a afterthought probably to keep the customer happy. There is not even a vibrating mode which is not standard but almost compulsory in this year and age.

Nokia 3110 was the first Nokia phone to introduce the Navi-key. This has been applauded as one of the easiest interfaces to use as every function is selected by only one key. A ‘c’ key is to go back in the menu

Review

The 3310 has various advantages and disadvantages: 1. It is cheap,in that they are virtualy given away. 2. Loads of people have them, and so you dont look a pilock with one. 3. The are easy to use, you don’t need to be a 14 year old to understand them( like video recorders!) 4

Starting with multimedia capabilities, the new Nokia N93 includes a 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics and 3x optical zoom, a 2.4″ QVGA display, and full audio/video playback capabilities.

The Nokia 3310 has been one of the most popular mobiles of all time, so it seems mean to award it just one star. However, the truth is that the 3310 cannot compare with modern phones: it’s big and heavy, has hardly any features, mediocre battery life, and is not as reliable as many people would like to believe. The newer Nokia 3100 is a much better choice.

Review

The features of the phone have become quite basic with the introduction of colour and photos. However for someone who wants to buy a phone so that they can phone people the Nokia 3310 is perfect. The phone isn`t exactly stuck in the stone age as it has many good options. The phone has 4 games, bantumi, pairs, snake 2 and space invaders. They aren`t exactly PS2 standard but they pass a few boring moments on the bus or if you are waiting for someone. The phone has a good range of ringtones and has space for 7 extra ringtones which can be composed or sent to your phone. There is a few picture messages and there is yet again space for more if you choose to do so. The Nokia 3310 also supplies a calculator, clock, alarm and reminders
