 Nokia 3300 is announced in 2003
Design
Nokia's 3300 - one of few models from Nokia featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the Nokia 3300 is heavy and little big handset at 114 x 63 x 20 mm and 125 grams. The 4096-color display is dim, not very bright and crisp, but is a far step above the very dim 256-color versions on even the most recent Nokia models.The display resolution 128 x 128 pixel which is standart resolution for more mobile phones.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the 3300'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 3300 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.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 3300's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Nokia 3300 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Java MIDP 1.0, a voice recorder, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the 3300 is also equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking , as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 4 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. The 3300 also comes with an and Multi Media Card (MMC) expansion slot located under its battery,a 16-128 MB card comes bundled in the sales package, more space for images audio and video files, less time for PC and communication cable for updating internal memory, The phone incidentally also offers up an integrated FM radio.
Performance
Audio quality on the 3300 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 720 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 3.3 hours talk time or 230 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 108 minutes.
Availability
The Nokia 3300 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Nokia 3300 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. |
