Nokia 3410 Review
Phone rating:
Review: March 2003.
The Nokia 3410 was the replacement for the hugely-popular Nokia 3210/3310/3330
series. Featuring an updated front panel design, the 3410 is the same
size as the older Nokias, but lighter.
The Nokia 3410 has all of the features that made the 3210/33xx so popular
- downloadable ringtones, Xpress-on covers and great ease of use.
The 3410 features Java games and is lighter too.
The 3410's Java capability means that you can download games just as
easily as downloading ringtones or graphics.
WAP push allows you to subscribe to information services like news,
sport and entertainment - you will then receive text messages which
contain a link to a WAP page, so you can browse in more detail if you
wish.
The main defect of the 3410 is the joined-up keypad.
Features of the Nokia 3410 include:
- WAP (featuring WAP push)
- Predictive text messaging
- Picture messaging and picture editor
- Mobile chat
- 35 ringtones plus 7 customisable ringtones
- High resolution 4-line display
- Speed dialling
- Downloadable Java games and applications
- Animated 3D screen savers
- Phonebook (200 names)
- Changeable front and back covers
- 5 games - Space Impact, Bantumi, Snake 2, Bumper, Link 5
- Calendar, stopwatch, alarm clock, currency converter
- Size: 115 x 49 x 22 mm
- Weight: 114g
- Battery standby: 55 - 260 hours
- Battery talktime: 2 - 4 hours
- Dual band

The last review here was in 2004. Eight years on, still a fantastic
phone, all you need for talking and texting. The prices are going up
now they are "retro", but still worth every penny. I wonder how many
people are actually reading this :P

I have had my Nokia a little over 7 months. It was fine for a while,
but then the battery started to run out very quickly (I hadn't over-charged
it) and the signal is appalling - I know that this isn't down to my
area as the coverage in my region with T-Mobile is actually rather good.
Several colleagues in my office use T-Mobile and when my signal is at
1 or nothing their signals are at full-power. I blame it totally on
the phone and feel that buying it on special offer was a big mistake,
it isn't the bargain I thought it was going to be. I don't want all
bells and whistles but I do want a phone that gets a signal when I leave
the house.

My 3410 is 18 months old and well used, it has never let me down i changed
the express on cover to freshen it up a bit as it was looking a bit
rough, it has been droped a few times and even got submerged in the
kitchen sink opps, thought it was surley the end of the 3410 but after
a day of drying on the radeator it is working fine, it has had a further
new cover fitted and a brush with h2o (anther day on the rad) but is
still 100% working order cant say farer than that i am beggining to
think my 3410 is indestructable or has nine lives like the cat, my friends
have had a few phones while i have had my 3410, there phones seem to
go wrong after a few months while my 3410 soldgers on like the work
horse it is, i like the fact that it has normal ringtones ring ring,
nokia tune, bee, etc i can not hear the new poly tones it sounds like
a disco going off in your pocket i hear so many people saying in phone
reviews they cant hear there phones ring what is the point. anyway 3410
good all round standerd phone long may mine live.

It is a good phone, does everything a phone does but i really don't
like the monophonic ringtone sounds and the screen colour is so boring
and dull. Oh well, it doesn't bother me anymore since mine broke and
now i have the excuse to buy a nice flashy Samsung E700 camera and colour
screen phone (highly recommended). But anyway, if there is anyone looking
for a basic phone without all the ridiculous gadgets then the 3410 is
for you. If you are like me however and you highly appeal to these ridiculous
gadgets then get a different phone, Samsung E700 is a good phone for
gadgets though.

I have to write again to follow up my review from last year 20th nov
03, well i have been with my 3410 near on a year now and it has proved
to be a faultless piece of kit unlike my the samsung t100 i bought and
sent back for a refund, i have read some of the reviews and can honestly
say i think some of you have bought the phone without reading the specifications
no you dont get every thing you get with say the higher spec nokia,
sony ericsson, samsungs etc, you get a mobile phone that does what a
phone should do and does it well, just becouse it does not have a colour
screen or poly ringtones mms camara etc etc etc does not make it a bad
phone, most of the complants on this review site seem to be from peaple
that have faults with there phones when purchassed well i suggest you
take them back to the shop and replace the phone or get your money back
like i did with the t100, my 3410 on the other hand has been 100%, battery
life is still great i use the phone nearly everday and charge it up
every sunday if i use it a lot in the week i top the battery up mid
week say thursday, signal strenth is very good compared to more expensve
phones and sometimes a lot better, it is as strong as a ox i dont throw
my phone around but have had the odd accident as we all do fell out
of pocket fell of table at work when on vibrate and like the day i droped
it at waterloo station and it got kicked accross the platform by me
and on coming comuters when retrived it was scratched and batterd but
stayed together and worked fine (she now has a new shiney black nokia
phone cover)it seems that mobile phones are suited to differnt people
like cars and clothes if you want to be flash and have the latest hand
set the 3410 is not going to satisfy you not at all, but if you want
to be able to keep in touch with family friends etc and write the odd
text message the 3410 is ideal for just that, the ringtones are crisp
and clear and can be herd in nosy enviroments unlike some of th e poly
phones my mates have (why have a mobile phone you cant hear ringing
outside) the menus are easy to navigate around, the keys are big enough
to use the screen is clear to read even in dirrect sunlight, unlike
the colour screens i have seen on other mobiles (why have a mobile phone
that you can not read in daylight) i will use mine untill it functions
no more could be some time i am due a upgrade in a few months not going
to bother there is nothing out there at the moment that can replace
my trusted phone it is like a reliable old friend i can depend on, to
sum up good allround performer nuts and bolts mobile phone cant recomend
enough to the right person, but if you want flash for your cash stay
away from the 3410 or any aother entery level phone you will be dissapointed
but if you want a mobile phone to call and text on wich is what they
are realy for if you think about it the 3410 does the job.

The 3410 is a phone at the end of the day, i use it to call people when
i am out i use it to text all these functions it does with no fuss and
it does it well, i have had the phone for 18 months and it is allways
on me l would say i am a moderate user and find it easy a quick to use,
i have had a so could flashy phone that i upgraded to but swaped back
to my 3410 after a month becouse i could not cope with the new phone
being fidily and complecated and unreliable all i want to do is call
and send text messages quickly and simply and the 3410 does this, the
phone is reliable battery life is still good and signal strenth is better
than most more expensive mobiles, i can not fault the 3410 if you just
want a mobile phone that will keep you in touch with family and friends
when out, this is the one to choose i think it is still available to
bye on the internet but i have not seen it in the shops for a while,
in the time i have had my 3410 it has given me no problems at all 100%
r eliable unlike my upgrade that broke after i sent my first text message,
all i have had to do with my 3410 is replace the cover (and that is
becouse i liked the look of the black and white cover from nokia)if
you want to play games take pics send e-mails or what ever else you
want to do then no it is not a good phone for the indervidual but this
does not make it a bad phone like some of the comments on the review
site, but if you want a device to use to ring home when you are late
or use in a emergency or even a quick chat with a mate it is ideal,
a mate of mine has a what i call a flashy phone and i have lost count
the amount of times he has used mine to call the misses becouse his
phone had no signal (we are on the same network and in the same area)
or droped a call or battery has died the 3410 is allways there and allways
working, so allround a top mobile phone.

I am now looking to upgrade to the Sharp GX15. Overall the Nokia 3400
does whatit has to, but it is so out of date now. P.S. On my phone:
the down application is missing! (On the menu screen, i goes 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9)
The whole downloading application is missing!! If any one knows any

I think this phone is fab. I've had mone for 2 years and am still entertained
with it. It's like 'Ronseal= it does exactly what it says on the tin.'
it's the no frill phone which suets me fine and using it's a pleasure.
the key pad is easy to use; it's not so small that your fingers creep
onto each button, it's robust and has surrvived falling dawn the stars
twice, the tumbledrier, water spilages and much more. Ontop of all of
that it's got enough to keep you interested with the fantastic verity
of games and ringtones avadible. no it's not amazing compared to other
phones today but it's great and i would recommend it 100%.

After breaking my 3310, I decided to go a step further and buy the 3410.
After all it looked attractive and it had some good reviews. After getting
it home, it looked nice and it was very pleasent to feel. However, the
keys lit up like some cheap plastic things. I expected quality keys
like the 32/3310 phones. Also, the menus are quite complicated and you
have to go through about 3 screens just to a game. The ringtones are
good, but they're also hard to get too. And if you're a Snake 2 lover,
stay well away. It goes nowhere near as fast as other Snake versions
and it takes ages to finish. There's also no blip sound as it eats the
food. I also dislike the keys, which look as if they've been melted
into each other. I didn't think I would mind them to begin with, but
when I'm alone with it, I just think "you're so ugly!". I can't take
any pride in having it and I miss my 3310. As you flip through the phone's
menu, it's as if it goes in a slower motion to previous Nokias. It's
we ird and hard to describe. The phone looks deceivingly expensive,
but in reality, it's like a cheap toy.

The 3410 is a great, albeit basic, phone. It does all I want it to do,
namely make voice calls and send and receive texts. If I wanted to take
pictures I would buy a Nikon SLR. If I wanted to play games I would
buy a Gameboy. The 3310 was a wonderful workhorse. The 3410 is just
a tweaked 3310 with WAP. But WAP is pants and actually I don't know
why Nokia bothered to mess with the 3310. It was fine phone and should
have been left alone.

What a great phone! If you're after a basic handset to call people or

then the volume for ringing and incoming voice is excellent and the
vibration very strong. The battery only needs charged about once a week.
The signal reception is very good. For what you pay, these phones are
brilliant.

Ok so it doesn't have all the latest mobile features but wot is a phone
for. This mobile makes phone calls, sends,receives and stores txt messages
and it even has wap services. This is a good phone and doesn't have
any promblems. Wot a surprise its a Nokia model. Why spend loads of
money on phones like panasonic GD87, Samsung V200, Sharp GX10i when
they all have loads of faults. I say just stick to the basic phones
and definitely nokia ones. The nokia 3510i is excellent by the way with
a colour screen and for a little more you could purchase the nokia 3200
which has an intergrated camera and you can design your own covers.

This is the worst phone I have ever had. The battery life is very poor.
After about two months the send button stopped functioning. You almost
had to stand on it to send or answer calls. The phone will not answer
with any other botton. I want to stick with nokia but I don't know which
one to get next.

a smart gadget which is extremely fast,easy and does those basic jobs
of a mobile. I've never encounted any problems and with its WAP enabled

i reccomend this phone to anyone who only wants a phone to text people
and phone people on. I got mine christmas 2002 and i have had no problems
with it and the java games are a lot of fun but they cost money to download
(i like ice blade penquin) the games already on the phone are ok but
quite boring. The nokia 3310 is rubbis because my sister has one and
is always having problems with it also the 3410 is more comfortable
to hold than the 3310 and its display is better quality and a higher
resolution. I now have an ngage and it rules but if you want a good
cheap phone go for the 3410.

My husband has this phone and I use it sometimes - we both like it.
He doesn't like phones with too many features as he finds it confusing,
so the 3410 suits him down to the ground. The reception quality is excellent,
texting is simple and speedy as with all Nokia phones and it has an
excellent battery life. It wouldn't be the phone for someone who likes
all the latest gizmos, but for those who simply want a phone that works
well it is ideal. Personally I like to have a few more of the latest
things so it wouldn't be my ideal phone, but it is excellent as a basic
mobile phone as it's both reliable and easy to use. It's a nice size
too, not too large or small, suitable for both men and women to use.
Maybe it's just me but I always think it's funny to see a man using
a tiny dinky little phone - looks like he's playing with a toy! :-)

I own this phone, and its a total utter low-life! Its keypad is great
for texting, because of the size of the buttons - plenty of space -
and thats about the only good thing on it! the damn phone if you write
text messages over 2, then it starts to write the letters reeeeeally
slow and this is annoying as u have to wait 4 the fone to catch up with
you. the battery life on this fone is so poor, I've had a 3310, the
model down and even that was a better phone. The game Muniki is so great
- and then all of a sudden the game crashes and then when you load it
up again, it doesnt load properly, it loads level 0 - which causes you
to die straight away - resulting in you not even being able to play
the game, this is a let-down. I sent my 1st nokia 3410 back because
of this fault, got a new one and then this 2nd 3410 did the exact same,
so overall i can save these java games are useless on this, once it
crashes, ya games as good as gone for good! Its very easy to navigate
around the phone - however thats probably because theres not that much
to browse @. Theres hardly anything special on this phone. If you're
looking for a cheap phone, then the 3310 is the phone for you, and its
the model down! trust me the 3410 wasnt worth making, i wish i never
got it. From day 1 i've hated it, and found many faults with it. Also
sometimes fascias dont fit properly on this phone, which is annoying
when the back has a gap in the middle, it causes the fear that it may
fall off - its really weird because with the model down you dont have
this problem, all facias fit perfectly - as they should do. One good
thing you can do with the 3410, which i will give a thumbs up for, is
the fact that you can secure the keypad, so only you can unlock it with
a security code. which is pretty neat if you dont want people to read
your text messages or something.. however, if you buy this phone...
your still CRAZY!! trust me theres better out there!

Reviewed by Kristian from UK on 7th Dec 2003
well, what can I say? I've been using nokia phones while ever I've had
a mobile and I have to say this one is disappointing, for starters,
I'll mention the fact that I'm partially sighted, and the screen isn't
no where near the quality of my beloved 3310 I still use and love, and
some of the keys seem a bit dodgy, you've really gotta press em hard
to get anything, texting works well when you find out how to use the
insert word option to get the text big enough to read as you type, I
don't like t9, but have to have it active to get the insert word option
on the menu, let's say you wrote a super long text 400 letters or whatever,
you press the button to send the text in the box to the place where
you should write them, and everything freezes for a few seconds, probably
because the phone is processing all the text, it does come back to life
but when you're trying to send an important text like I sometimes do
it's not great, my 3310 never does that, ok it slows down when you're
t exting and do loads of typing in the insert word box, but if you notice
the lack of response you can easily send that text to the input part
and start inserting again to get it back to normal again, the phone,
generally is ok for a simple phone, my mum now has it as I got me a
6100 which i'll review later on, still playing with that one at the
mo! the 3410 as phones go has one or 2 options I rather like, it's security
keyguard should be a feature of all nokia phones! it's large digital
clock screen saver is a favorite of mine, as I hate talking watches!
they draw attention to blind people and stuff, and I hate to be different,
so I used to use the clock on my phone. it's large enough to see, and
works well for what I needed. I feel that nokia should have made the
screen more like the 3310, the text seemed bigger on that one so i could
read what was happening when it happened, if you know what I mean, I
found that I used to have to use my magnifier screen to navigate the
phone till I became used to where things were, and I learned the short
cuts, I feel also that the tones menu is in a strange location from
what I was used to before, I can understand that tones are settings
and stuff like that but why didn't they put the composer with the tones
like the 3310? I was looking all over for that one! all in all I was
stuck with it for a whole year on t-mobile, I effectively ditched it
for my 3310 and demoted the silly 3410 to my pay as you go emergency's
only phone! hardly got used for ringing out on unless 3310 was flat,
then all I did was swap battery out of 3310 in to 3410 to charge it
up! yeah, they do fit, even though they're fatter, I then put the 3410
battery in the 3310, boy, does that make a difference in the weight
department on those babys! I know i refer to the 3310, simply because
it was, and to my mind, still is the best none color screen phone going,
although mine is starting to show it's age, poor old lass, need a batery
for it will b e up and running as pay as you go phone again in no time
at all. All in all, if your partially sighted and need a decent easy
screen, try for a 3310 if you can get one they're not colour but for
most things once you map the phone in your head the screen isnt required,
on the other hand the 3410 is much more difficult to see in those situations
where it needs to be looked at, the text is no way near big enough for
my liking and it just isn't what I'd call partially sighted friendly
apart from, as I said the clock screen saver and keyguard! all I can
say, is, if you like the 3410 phone then that's ok, I don't knock people
who like them, it's just that I don't personally like them myself.

I bought this phone last xmas, to replace my 3310 which i previously
owned for 2 years. I loved it at first, but now much better phones have
been designed, including color and camera features. Now i've had it
almost a year, the phone is showing it's age. My red end call button
seems to freeze and doesn't let me end a call, it turns itself on and
off again, and freezes, causing me to have to take out the battery to
get it working again. Also, when i am writing a text message using T9,
sometimes the cursor moves itself and deletes random word. Very frustrating.
I got to quite a high level on the "munkiki" java game, and now whenever
i try to play it, it will only let me play on level 0, and the monkey
dies everytime, therefore leaving me unable to play. I would recommend
this phone for people who just want a temporarily placement phone.....i
am now choosing either the Samsung S300, nokia 7250i or 6100 for my

menu navigation was poor). On the plus side, the 3410 has a good navigation
system - but then I understand that this is a feature of Nokia phones
in general. The sound (voice) quality is pretty good to. On the down-side,
however, it's bulky, heavy (114g) and ugly. I'd really only recommend
this model to someone who wants an cheap, idiot-proof phone. Personally,
