Exactly what I expected and wanted from a feature phone.
If you want a smartphone, you'll be disappointed, so buy a smartphone
instead.
Size is good and it fits in any pocket. Quite a thin feature phone.
Screen is clear and a good size for a feature phone.
Battery life is good. I usually charge it up once a week
after moderate use when the battery level just drops below half full.
Predictive text is good and can be turned off if not required.
Calendar is simple to use and you can set appointments and aural reminders.
The Torch function is quite effective and accessible from the home screen.
Texts are read and stored in a conversation mode same as my old Blackberry.
I popped my micro sim out of my old PAYG standard sim and it slotted in
and worked first time. Contacts transferred from sim to phone easily.
Bought a 32gig micro sd card on offer and that worked fine. Just need to go
into the menu and set everything to be saved to sd card.
Camera, obviously, is not as good as a smartphone or digital camera. But it's
fine for taking a pic and sending as mms. Pics also look ok on computer
as long as you don't enlarge them. Connect phone by usb cable to computer
and enable mass storage and you are good to go for transferring. Only tried it
on Windows and Red Hat Linux operating systems, but it worked fine on both.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this phone and is exactly what I wanted. It does
everything I want from a phone, and for anything else I use my laptops or
tablets. I don't really want to lug something the size of a sandwich plate around with for a phone,
or be charging it up once or twice a day.
You, of course, may have different requirements, and need the different functions of a smartphone.
Horses for courses.

Does what a phone is supposed to do!
I recently purchased the sequel to the iconic Nokia 3310 known as the Nokia 3310 3G directly from giffgaff and this is my review.The primary reason for me opting to switch to as they say a ‘dumbphone’ is because I found myself getting too distracted by my smartphone and felt I needed a break from it. I’m not saying smartphones are terrible as I know they have their advantages, though I don’t want to become a person who walks around with his head in his phone having to dodge street lights.Now, the Nokia 3310 isn’t groundbreaking by any means (unless you drop it) as it doesn’t have a high-end processor, an OLED screen or even a camera that would make you want to put away your digital snapper. It’s a phone that does things a phone is supposed to do like make and take calls as well as texting and does this really well. The call and speaker quality are superb and as well as the battery life. It is reported that it has a standby time of one month. I have had this phone for nearly a week and it is yet to run out of battery.Nokia was very generous to include a 2MP rear camera on this device. For those of you who like taking self-portraits this phone isn't for you as it doesn't have a front camera. Nevertheless, there is a special feature within the camera settings that enables you to use the rear camera to take a selfie. The camera quality may not be on par with a smartphone just be appreciative that you're able to take a picture or a video if you really need to. In terms of build quality, this phone is made purely from plastic meaning you won't have to worry about shattering glass or denting metal if you were to drop it. Micro SD card expansion is also available for playing your music library on the go. Which is interesting seeing that even some expensive smartphones lack this feature. You audiophiles would also be pleased to know that there is also a headphone jack and is compatible with wireless Bluetooth headphones.Who is the Nokia 3310 for? The Nokia 3310 3G is great for anyone wanting to unplug from being bombarded with notifications and wants a minimalist phone. Someone who is not tech savvy and wants a phone for making/taking phone calls and text messaging. Rather someone who requires a backup phone for emergencies or those who solely want to pick one up for nostalgia. With all that said, the Nokia 3310 3G has been a reliable phone and I'm sure you will be happy with it should you wish to purchase it.

Arriva con il caricatore inglese come in foto. E che ci devo fare? Manco sono in Europa quelli.
Per cui 1 stella al venditore.
Al cellulare 4 stelle.
Ad Amazon 5 stelle per come ha "risolto" il disguido del caricabatterie.
Un pò più di attenzione, venditore!
