Review: The major selling point for this Nokia 3300 mobile phone is rightly the music playing capabilities. It plays MP3 files which are uploaded via PC and a USB cable. It will also play another file type (AAC) which are smaller than MP3 and have just about equal quality. You can get 2 hours of music and then some onto the phone with only the stuff in the box. If you buy an upgrade to double the storage capacity then you can most likely get close to 5 hours of tunes on this phone. You can access most of the phones storage via your PC also, meaning you can upload new polyphonic ringtones directly from your PC (the .mid or .midi file format is as old as the hills and you can download them all over the place). You cant upload images this way sadly. The speaker quality is surprisingly good, though music does sound far better on the headphones, radio reception is also very good. Its full of options and features that rival most other, more expensive models including MMS and WAP. Lack of photo features really isn't a big problem for me. This is an awesome phone and far more appealing than any other model available on prepay with any network. The only downside is that orange charge 12p per SMS, though they are otherwise competetively priced. Their Text Saver promotion easily takes care of this little issue though. |
