Nokia 3300 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: September 2003.
The Nokia 3300 music phone is packed with music features like an MP3 player,
stereo FM radio, and a digital recorder.
With the Nokia 3300 you can copy MP3 or AAC music files from your PC to the
included 64 MB memory card (MMC). Load your own music to the PC and make playlists
for your own personal soundtrack.
The Nokia 3330 supports polyphonic ringtones of course, and also True Tones.
You can even create a personalized ringtone from your MP3 and AAC files.
The 3300 is also a great gaming platform, with preloaded and downloadable java
games. The four-way scroll key gives excellent control for gaming, and the colour
screen, polyphonic sound and vibration mode make everything just a little more
exciting! The game controls are optimised for two-hand use with keys divided
on both sides of the screen. Another nice feature is that you can listen to
music whilst playing games.
The Nokia 3300 also has some excellent messaging features. It supports multimedia
messaging (MMS), SMS, chat, and email over SMS. Inside you'll find up to 4.5
MB of internal memory for user data, as well as an advanced WAP browser.
We would have awarded this phone more stars had it not been for the reliability
problems that some users have experienced with this phone.
Features of the Nokia 3300 include:
- Mobile music player for MP3 and AAC files
- Stereo FM radio
- Digital recorder from integrated FM radio and Audio Line-In

This phone is awesome.
it glows in the dark for gods sake.
It phones, texts and has snake. I think it wins. Who needs an iphone
when they have a glow in the dark phone that looks like a gameboy and
has snake.

hey there i love this phone because of the following reasons: + i love
music + the glow-in-the dark xpress-on covers + cool games + animated
menu icons + easy to use layout + the unique ergonomics but if there's
good, there's also bad just like the unpowerful loudspeaker, the absence
of IR and bluetooth, the frustration of transeferring polytones and/or
wallpapers from mmc to phone and vice versa and also its pop-port doesn't
support a fun cam. overall, i love this phone but not much. =)

I have had this phone for about six months now. It is clearly one of
Nokia's experimental phones, used to judge the response to a phone which
includes digital music playback. Unfortunately, there are some serious
limitations to the software and hardware which you do need to consider
before buying. 1) Corrupted files cannot be erased from the applications
folder. This reduces the number of active files you can install (and
is just annoying). And strangely, games cannot be stored in the games
folder. 2) There are no conectivity options apart from GSM/GPRS so synching
the phonebook/ calendar with Outlook is out of the question, and changing
wallpapers is a palaver involving the use of WAP! The phone itself consists
of two separate modules: the phone and the MP3 player. The DKU-2 cable
only connects to the MP3 player and not the phone itself, which means
tyou cannot use your computer for personal information management or
phone personalisation. 3) Loading of music and playlists is very slow
on the phone itself and there is a limit of 99 files which can be stored,
no matter how big the MMC. 4) Unless you are handy with a soldering
iron, you have to use the bundled (and rather rubbish) Nokia headphones
because of the propietary pop port. 5) The in-line recorder does occasionally
freeze in the middle of recording a file. Not sure why this is because
the MMC card still has space and the time limit for recording has not
been reached. That said, playing java games on this phone is a pleasure
because of the keyboard layout, loading music from the computer to the
phone is simple by drag and drop as the phoe is recognised as an external
drive, you can use MP3s as ring tones (about the only personalisation
option available) and the built-in speaker is great for music playback
while you are pottering about the room. In summary, a decent phone/MP3
player combo which has since been supplanted by better implementations
from Nokia.

ive been using this phone since october 3, 2004..actually, it's a gift
for myself..i really find it hard to find this phone at stores because
nokia discontinued making this but good thing i found one at a mall...i
like the features very musch coz im a music lover but the only thing
i hate about it is that the loudspeaker is not that loud compare to
the other series40 and series 60 phones but that's good anyways..i like
the large memory and the games..the dj game is hard to finish especially
the level 6 but the disco game is cool and addictive..sometimes when
recording using the audio cable suddenly stops that you have to repeat
the recording again..another thing that i hate i that you can't transfer
the polytones from the mmc to the phone and that it has no bluetooth
nor an IR but that's ok the important is it's packed with music features
that i really love!!! if it only has a bluetooth and infrared, il rate
it 5 stars..having a camera is also a plus^_^

the phone back twice for repairs even after that there was problems
by the end three buttons stop working which were very important on the
fone as they were the buttons to fone someone and to hang up with lol.
Plus when i put music on the fone i cudnt delete it after which meant

In the last 5 months i had 2 of these phones, i bought the first one
in September, it broke in November, so i sent it back, and waited 3weeks
for it to be fixed, which i was told was free of charge, i then recived
a bill for £76. So i argued with them untill they sent me a new
one, i recived it and it was slow, freezes, and often turns itself off,
i have also noticed with these that music stays on the memory card months
after, and will all of a sudden start in the middle of a completly different
song. I have recently upgraded to th 7600, much better phone!

i have had this phone for about 6 months. its an amazing phone when
you get the parcel but you soon realise there is no bluetooth or IRDA
port. the only way to connect is via usb. and the software doesnt even
work properly on my desktop.the mp3 player however is AMAZING and plays
loads of songs or qur'an. people have asked me is that a phone while
listening to the amazing quality of the loud speaker and headphones.
overall, its good and has none of the faults some of the failures have
put up. but its now getting a bit boring as it has no camera and cant
really compete with todays phones.

I have had this phone for about 3 or 4 weeks before this phone I have
had the NEC e313 and the motorla v70 the NEC phone ducked up the camera
does not work any more and the motorla v70 was just a wast of money
so I got me the nokia 3300 Mp3 player phone the game on it are much
like all nokia's (not that good) but however its got all the things
I look for in a phone the mp3 player is second to nothing it works (unlike
the NEC e313) and the bit I like the most about this phone is that you
can pick one up from about £50 to £60 and for a good mp3
player your looking at £100 to £150 the cost of mp3 players
are going up all the time. So if you are looking for a new phone or
and an Mp3 player dont get you card's out of your pockit just get the
nokia 3300 phone.

I don't know why people are moning about the mp3 on this phone, if you
use the included nokia audio manager software when putting music on
it (and don't simply just drag the music to the phone)You'll easily
fit 30 tracks on here.

If there was an option to, I'd give this phone no stars at all. Had
lots of Nokia phones and always been happy but this one has been awful.
I've had my Nokia 3300 for nearly a year now and my contract is up soon
and I can't wait to get a sensible phone. Was after it for the MP3 capability
but even from day 1 that never worked properly, not recording complete
tracks despite there being more than enough room on the memory card,
and sometimes not recording tracks at all. I think Nokia very quietly
discontinued this one very soon after it was released, as they knew
full well of it's shortcomings. Bulky, odd-looking, broken 'end call'
button, rubbish connection on the USB cable, MP3 (main reason for buying
it) doesn't work properly....I could go on but I'm busy shopping around
for a new phone...Just before I go, I can't believe how some people
on this forum have actually given this phone a good review. Perhaps
Nokia's Public Relations department are woking overtime put ting favourable
reviews on websites???

JPEGS to upload onto my phone but there is no way of doing it!! one
good thing though you can transfer games onto it which you have downloaded
off the internet, you import these once extracted from ZIP into the
applications folder which is on your memory card. To install these go
to Extras on your phone menu then go to memory card, there should be
an option to install application an if uve put more then one into the
folder they will all be listed an then you just click install on them!!
But a wouldnt buy this phone again if i had the choice.

I have had the 3300 for 10 months now and feel it's getting too long
in the tooth. Really liked the idea of having an integrated MP3 player,
but found myself becoming disenchanted with it and using it less and
less (if only nokia had given a line out option too, so I could listen
in the car or through a stereo. Booooo). Like the USB connection, but
don't like the fact that all you can manage is music (another boooo),
would have preferred full PC suite options for the phone (people who
listen to music have lives too y'know). Memory card doesn't hold nearly
enough to make it a viable MP3 player. However I do like the configuration
of the phone, and it always gets a 'ooh, look at your phone'. Web browsing
and texting is a pleasure, gameplay is also quite good. Also love the
fact I can have anything as a ring tone (bird calls are good) Now it
is an aged unit and the end call button is becoming increasingly temprememtal.
Given the chance I wouldn't buy this unit again, looking forward to
September and a trade in for a flashy new 'ooooh look at his phone'
unit.

for the converter on mine now refuses to operate (not that I ever used

It's got a great mp3 player, top quality sound. It's a shame about the

as good. It's really easy to use, and customize. The games are great
fun. You can download them for free on a pc and copy them to the phone.
It has great call quality, and hardly goes out of range on 02. However,
it's hard to find someone to unlock the phone! Overall, i'd say get
one if you love music, and great gaming. I bought this for £119 and

Let me start by saying that I think so highly of this phone that I purchased
a second identical unit just to keep it company at night while charging...and
was a great way to get stereo (Simulated, of course)without using a
head-set... teehee. Seriously,though, if not for the fact that I'm a
fairly large man (265Lbs) and standing 75 inches tall, and this phone
looks so lady-ready, I'd say it was the best phone I've ever had. However,
here in america, especially where I live, if the wrong group of folks
see a man carrying a phone so CUTE, they might want to question your
manhood, and ultimately may want to pop the ole bung-hole with their
kick-stand, if you know what I mean. In which case having the PHONE
portion of the unit would come-in really handy, as 911 emergency could
very well be the next call needing to be placed. So, while I love this
phone, I do tend to keep it hidden while in public, and to compensate
for SweetyPie look I installed a deep barking dog ring tone that sounds
much like a Rott. As far as the phone itself, the only real problem
I have with it is the fact that I find myself touching it often, even
when not performing any function on it. The wife is starting to really
get @@@@ about the thing, as at night I now place my back towards her
and spend long moments gazing at the 3300, dreaming of the moment when
someone might call me on it. I'm thinking of taking pictures of it and
placing them on the wall next to the pics of the kids. As for you people
who have complaints as to the small limitations of this phone, and they
are small and few...Remeber the price you've paid. If you want a pda
phone, then buy a pda, but you will pay a pda price. How much do you
really think you can expect from a unit in this price range? As for
you folks who complain about features not working, well, I guess Nokia
figured the buyers of it would all be SMARTER than the phone, and this
may be Nokia's one real fault, as there are some very limited minds
out there

For starters, this phone's mp3 capability is excellent. I've been using
it for 6 months and I listen to the mp3 player a lot more than I talk
on the phone. The sound quality is excellent and has more bass than
my $75 cd player. The phone's reception is decent considering that I
use AT&T but my friend's Nokia gets reception in the same places where
I do not. The 3300's shape is very awkward to use since you need to
use both hands to push a button. The keypad doesn't light up, so don't
try to punch in any numbers at night. And what's with the qwerty keyboard
on the older style 3300? It makes the unit way too bulky and cumbersome.
This is the kind of phone that's really fun to have for a month and
then its novelty wears off. you will wish you had a phone that was not
so big and clumsy. I am now switching to a motorola which I will pick
up tomorrow. So in spite of the superb music capability, I can't recommend
this Nokia.

NOT GOOD-digital recorder while recording via the audio cable!!! The
phone either RESTARTS or STOPS RECORDING half way thro the song being
recorded. My Nokia 3300 is NOT even 2 WEEKS OLD. As a phone N3300 is
fine except maybe its size. If Nokia had to give it a big size ONLY
FOR its unique selling point-the music player/recorder/radio-then Nokia
should have made sure the unique selling point works right!! The music
player is good. U can store 9-12 songs in mp3 format of the size 3-6MB.
The radio reception is quite good..sound quality for both the music
player and radio is very good. Recorder works properly while recording
from the radio. I think the concept of N3300 would sell very well in
Bombay(Mumbai),India, amongst the youth for a price of Rs10K-Rs14K.
Even an improved N3300 would do very well. But this cell was never advertised
properly and Nokia isn't gonna introduce more pieces of 3300. Its a
GREAT UNIQUE cell to have. Nokia introduced it in a very hush-hush manner
and stopped production as if they made a mistake/did something illegal
by making this phone. Nokia should check the quality of all features
of the phones to work properly before sale, rather than introducing
a new model and making profit only while and only because its a brand
new model.SHAME ON NOKIA!!! I think what I heard from a few was right-that
the Nokia 3300 didn't do well coz the usp-features didn't work long.

Don't judge your phone on first impressions I did and thought this phone
was great. It isnt, its a load of **** just like all the other nokia
phones with colour screens. It worked to start with and i could record
music, then two weeks into having it like all the others it started
switching itself off. It then refused to record music all the way through
even thought there was plenty of room on the memory card. This phone
is a load of rubbish and if there was an option to put a no star rating
I would have selected that. WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T BUY A NOKIA THEY
ARE ALL RUBBISH i have had a sony ericsson T610 and samsung C100 for
ages now and had no problems. IF YOU DO HAVE TO BUY A NOKIA THOUGH BECAUSE
YOU HAVE GONE MAD AVOID THIS PHONE AND THE 3510i for sure. The only
good thing about this phone is the game DIsco, its quite good, but not
a rerason to keep it. DONT TOUCH NOKIA THEY ARE COMPLETE RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have only had this phone a few days but so far I have been very impressed.
I was a bit worried about returning to nokia after having a tonne of
probs. with their 3510i (which by the way is a total heap and a waste
of money and I have had 5 since Jan 2003) but so far I have been very
pleased with the 3300. I just hope it doesn't start switching itself
off for no reason and cutting tones out for no reason too. I think the
only problems I think there are with this phone are that it only supports
24 sounds at the same time when playing a tone and also haveing to connect
the headset to it even if you want to listen to the radio through the
loudspeaker but apart from those its graet. And the screen quality is
great too although still only 4096 colours. One more thing WHERE CAN
I GET NOKIA ORIGINAL FASCIAS FOR IT. IVE TRIED EVERYWHERE AND NO WHERE
SELLS THEM, NOT EVEN NOIA THEMSELVES! I f you know where I can get one
from (preferably high street stores) then please email me mikedeman@hotmail.com.

Guys, I've been using this phone for a while now and as the previous
reviews show, it's a great phone. I know some people might think it's
a bit big and would prefer using a mp3 player instead, but have you
ever missed any phone calls when you were lisiting to your music before?
It happened to me so many times and this is the perfect solution!!!
In addition, I've bought a 256mb MMC card for this phone and guess what?!
It WORKS!!!! Althought it doesn't show on your phone that you have 256mb
of memory, but when you download your musics to the phone you'll be
able to download 256mb worth of music. ISN'T THIS GREAT?!?!?! Go for
it if you like listening to music!! Great phone!

Hi, I used to have the Nokia 5110, which is essentially the old version
of this phone. It was (I think) the best phone Nokia had released up
to that time. This new, sparkly updated version improves in every respect
you can think of. More music capacity (with MMC cards), colour screen,
speaker phone, better games, MMS, it looks better, is more sturdy. The
only step backward is the loss of the full QWERTY keyboard, but with
predictive text being so good, that's forgivable. The only two extra
features you could want are a camera and bluetooth. Well, cameras on
phones are generally pretty rubbish anyway. They are usually in the
low 100s of kPixels, whereas proper cams are in MPixels. Buy a proper
digital camera - much better and much more useful (you can even get
prints and everything). Bluetooth is an issue, but why would you want
to use an expensive mono bluetooth headset over a free stereo cable
one? I wouldn't. Overall, this phone is the absolute nuts. Anyone who
likes music and cool gadgets will love it as I do.

Had the phone for three weeks now, it is excellent fun. The new WAP
browser works very well, rendering Web pages on screen better than other
similar Nokia phones (i.e. 6100). The text pad on right of screen took
a while to get used to as was transferring from a traditional laid out
phone. Downs? Support for the phone on Nokia Website is a little sparse
at present. Nokia have yet to release a PC Suite/Content management
program for the 3300. This means that you can't edit contacts and send
text messages directly from your PC as with most other Nokia's. I have
been told this program may never be released at all do to technicalities
of the DKU-2 USB connection lead. The DKU-2 USB lead allows you to transfer
music to the phone using Windows Explorer without having to use the
supplied Audio Manager software. So you can continue to use other music
progs for mp3 management (i.e. Windows Media Player or the excellent
MusicMatch Jukebox). I love the phone and despite a few downs, I have
no problem recommending it to anyone!
