 Nokia 3210 is announced in 1999
Design
Nokia's 3210 - one of few models from Nokia featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Nokia 3210 is very heavy and too big handset at 51 x 124 x 23 mm and 151 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 96 x 48 pixel is not very high but is normal for small phone like this.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the 3210's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Nokia handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The 3210 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Nokia handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering 3210's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a simple two-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Nokia 3210 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, .and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the 3210 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1250 mAh NI-MH battery is rated for 4.3 hours talk time or 260 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 187 minutes.
Availability
The Nokia 3210 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Nokia 3210 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Nokia design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
