The Nokia 3300, a.k.a. the Nokia music phone, combines two of our favorite gadgets into a single device. Like previous attempts from Samsung and Audiovox, the result is a mixed bag. On the upside, we were pleasantly surprised by the 3300's sound quality and the inclusion of all the features we've come to expect in a mobile.
However, the phone itself is large and clunky, its menus lack pizzazz, and it suffers from some design flaws. Measuring 4.5 by 2.5 by 0.8 inches and weighing 4.4 ounces, the Nokia 3300 looks more like a Game Boy than a cell phone. Holding it with both hands, you use your left and right thumbs to type on the QWERTY keyboard, which is split in two by the LCD.
Below the screen is a four-way mouse flanked by two selection keys.
