Once upon a time... Review on Nokia 3310

Once upon a time there was a cell phone called Nokia 3310.

A cell phone which was nothing but only a cell phone. By today?s definition a cell phone must be a TV, a radio , a camera , a computer and god knows what else. I wonder if in the times to come a cell phone would do dishes ,wash clothes and baby sitting too. Well the idea doesn?t seems to be bad?right?? Anyways my intentions are not to criticize al those trendy, cute and chic cell phones available in market with loads of options to fiddle with. I would rather talk about the one which once used to be everybody?s darling cell phone.

Yippeee?Well I was a Johnny come late in the world of cell phone owners I got mine in year 2001.It was a beautiful morning (or it seemed beautiful) when I was gifted with a Nokia 3310 . For several minutes I marveled the beauty of the piece . The blue cased set adorned with silver gray key pad .I touched and retouched it and still couldn?t get enough of it .I was euphoric and All of a sudden I yelled ?Yipppeeeee..?.

Nokia 3310 Though all the information about it is easily available on https://nokia.com yet let me give a brief description of the features and options of this set.

Say na something Along with the regular option of messaging and chat one can connect three messages in one in order to say more. Some built in smiley are also available to add some spice to messaging.

Let me remind you Reminders have become essential to our routine .I would forget half the things if its not for reminder feature of cell phones. Ten reminder notes can be set at the max. One can edit , erase or forward the reminders also.

Too lazy to dial? Yeah I can understand . So what do you want that you call a name and your cell phone must obey you by dialing that person?s number? Well you got it with the voice dialing feature of Nokia 3310.

Are you game? Sitting on a railway station waiting for the train or getting bored in a class?well need not to get bored take out your Nokia 3310 and enjoy any of the four available games Snake II, Pairs II, Space Impact, and Bantumi

Style mein rehne ka What if your cell phone color doesn?t match with your dress color or the color of your bike ? You can go for exchangeable Xpress-on? covers. If that?s not enough to make your very personal style statement then go for unique screensavers ,picture messages ,personalized ring tones and operator logos etc.

Apart from these I mentioned above you can store up to 250 contacts in SIM , use calculator, can avail speed dialing option. Key pad locking ,stop watch , count down timer ,auto redial, call waiting are various other options which one can enjoy with it .

Return of Nokia 3310 Though abandoned by most (including me) for the sake of hotter options available in market Nokia 3310 still made a successful re entry in market and was accepted with open arms. Re launched with a price tag of INR 3600 Nokia 3310 did quite well considering the competition these days. Moreover the very decision of re launching this set proves how much it was adored by the users.

Final word Considering what has become of the mobile phone market in today?s time Nokia 3310 may not be a hot option. Umpteen number of Cell phones are available in price range of INR 3000 to INR 4000 yet if you need a cell phone which is reliable like your best friend, easy on your pocket , easy to use and shall fulfill the basic requirement of cell phone then go grab it. If call making and messaging is the least of your concern and a cell phone is more of a fashion and style statement to you then it will disappoint you for sure.
