Nokia 3310 UK-SIM Free Feature Phone - Warm Red

Good phone

Don't buy it. Nothing like the old Nokia. Cheaply made. Various issues emerged through the last three weeks: It kept resetting to factory settings it won't recognize the sim at all, He couldn't hear us when we rang him so had to communicate by text. Frustrating thing is I bought during the summer for the start at secondary school, and now I can't return it after not even 3 weeks of use. It's an utter piece of trash. Avoid at all costs.

Bought for my son he loves it very simple to use

June 2020 Update- Overall I still think that the old style Nokia`s are much more user friendly as a phone compared to `smart phones`. However, as I said before the newer retro Nokia`s cannot be compared to the original style phones. I have now had this Nokia for 18 Months and although the phone has been well looked after it has now started to switch itself off. Battery condition still very good though. Am happy with a basic Nokia to use as a day to day phone with using a smart phone when travelling. This Nokia 3310 although quite good, does not really match up to the older style Nokias. I have two main reasons for this. Battery life is as good as say my old 113 or 6310 but not any better and, with the advent of more modern batteries, I did expect slightly longer battery life. However, I can still get 3-4 days with everyday use of making calls and texting. My main bugbear is the new style Calendar. It does not have the `Birthday` facility where you can save a persons Birth Year etc which allows the reminder to update annually the age of the person. Secondly and more importantly for me is that you can only store 25 reminders in the Calendar. If I am incorrect in this I would be grateful if you can let me know how I can add Birthdays in. Apart from this I would recommend this phone and would buy another.

Now... this phone does not feel like the old 3310. It does not work like one and if you are expecting a feeling of "Oh it's just like the old one!" you will be disappointed. What you are getting though is a fresh and lite take on an old classic! If you are old enough to remember small mobile phones or you never had a smaller phone than 5inch, you will feel refreshed! It's small, slim, comfortable to hold and feels like something that belongs in your hand. I heard people say: looks like a you! Well... and? It's completely a class of its own. It's a good looking phone. The color is more orange than red, didn't see the others live so won't be able to say if blue is blue or yellow is yellow. I like the color - looks fresh and has this "zing" to it. Built quality is satisfying, let's not cheat ourselves - it's plastic:) but good plastic. Seems durable. Screen quality is acceptable, you will see things you need to see. It has a camera... and yeah, that's it about the camera^^ If you have large hands, the phone will get lost in them and you will have difficulties using the t9 style keyboard then again, if you buy it to answer phone calls or you have "artist hands" this will not be an issue. It is loud but do not expect crisp sound quality when listening to music with the speaker that is built in. That is it... It is a phone. A good quality device from Nokia. Want to give it to you kid? Perfect. Want to give it to an older person? Go for it. Want to disconnect yourself from the basics of having a battery draining, time eating YouTube and Social Media machines that try to take over the world? Hell Yes! It is a good, basic feature phone that will make you stand out. I bought it because I have a soft spot for those quirky things and I was positively surprised. What's in the box? Phone, battery, headphones and a charger. See? Basics. Oh... I do not know yet how long the battery holds because it did not die yet. Anyway - recommended for people that want something different, a different experience, or for people that want to stand out with a simple thing. Remember - buy from Amazon, not to get a fake device:)

The Nokia 3310 in matte blue looks like a faithful revival of the legendary classic—but that’s mostly where the resemblance ends. ✅ Pros: • 📱 Great retro design – Looks just like the old one at first glance. • 🔓 SIM-free and unlocked – Works on all UK carriers. • 🔋 Battery life is still decent – Holds up much longer than a smartphone. • 🔊 Loud enough for calls & texts – Great for basic use or backup phone. ❌ Cons: • 🧱 Feels fragile – Nowhere near the old indestructible build. Plastic feels cheaper and lighter. 🔌 Wrong charger – Came with a European plug, not ideal for UK users. 📷 Low-end camera and no smart features – As expected, but worth noting. Final Take: Great for nostalgia or basic backup use, but don’t expect the same build quality as the original 3310. This one’s more fashion revival than function revival. Still, for a simple phone with retro charm, it does the job.

This phone is pretty good although it is quite basic and different from the original 3310. It is sim free but it will not work on 3 as that is a 3g network and this phone is 2g only. It is ideal if you just want a basic phone to make calls or send text messages and is ideal to use in the workplace rather than use your decent smartphone. The price I paid was the retail price but some of these are being sold at ridiculous prices and I personally would not pay it. I keep mine in the car as I don't always take my phone out with me. It does have an mp3 player built in which is a bonus. I have also purchased the orange version for my wife which she really likes. The bonus feature on these is they have a 2000 internal memory for the phone book with a call blocker built in for unwanted numbers. This is essential for my wife as she only uses hers for family members. If she does ring out, her number is blocked except for certain numbers in her phone book and she does not text. It is perfect for anybody who wants to keep their privacy. Overall it does what it is designed for and although it is a bit pricey, it is a lot cheaper than a decent smartphone and ideal in certain circumstances or as a main phone if you are not bothered about smartphones. There does appear to be a lot of fakes on here and even though I bought mine from Amazon direct, my wife's came from the Carphone Warehouse because I couldn't get the colour she wanted from Amazon itself, but Amazon was the cheapest and they are both genuine Nokia 3310 handsets. You simply have to trust the seller you buy from and not take any unnecessary risks which unfortunately is not good for the genuine sellers because unless you know them, you are buying blind at the end of the day.

Phone is fine, headset arrived broken and the microphone doesn't not work.
