4.0 out of 5 stars Functional Not Fancy Cell - Phone, December 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Nokia 3390 Phone with AOL (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

After six months of use, I've been quite satisfied with the Nokia 3390 on T-Mobile service on the East Coast. While hardly-cutting edge in terms of technology, the phone covers the basics for communicating pretty well. The reception, even at moderate to weak signal, is crisp and clear. The ringer tone doesn't sing polyphonic songs, but is loud enough to carry through a book bag or heavy jacket. The buttons are well-placed. The menus are pretty easy to use. The backlight display panel won't light up the room like some of the newer Nokia models, but gets the job done for night-time dialing.

The batteries last two to three days, but could be longer. Don't expect a lot from the other features. The calculator is pretty hard to use. One complaint is the clock, which shuts down each time the phone is turned off. In some areas, the regional signal sets the time when the phone is turned on, but not in other places. Not having accurate time on the phone can be a hassel while trying to figure out when missed calls were received.

It's a plain, simple phone, nothing more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Skeptical High-Tech Cel Phone User..., November 14, 2003

This review is from: Nokia 3390 Phone with AOL (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

I used to switch cel phones in order to keep up with technology. Crazy screens and crazy features. I always made fun of my (then) fiancee for her nokia. Also, I hated the nokia ring. You know the one I'm talking about. Because of that I hated all nokia phones. Then we got married...

To save money, I needed a plan that offered shared minutes and because of my job, I needed something with flex in the contract (I wasn't going to sign anything for TWO years!). I had comparison shopped everywhere between brands. It was a pretty easy choice when that came down to it. But. The phone itself required the following from me:
-Text Messaging
-Stupid Addicting Games
-Ability to personalize rings
-Ability to personalize display screen
-Hands-Free hook-up
-One number dial

I got all of the above in the Nokia 3390. Plus I found myself surrounded by numerous faceplates, keypads and lights to choose from.

I was weary of the design. I always had flip-phones before. They always protected me from those embarassing accidental calls when you put the phone in your pocket. Nokia has an easy way to get to the key lock: menu + "*".

The predictable text in the text messaging part is amazing. Leaps above other PT I have used in the past.

Battery lasts a few days before charging.

But the best of all: When I break it, parts are VERY easy to get. My wife smashed her display. I immediately had a new screen. The aftermarket parts are plenty, but be careful...I remember reading that a woman's hair caught fire because she dropped her phone that had an aftermarket battery!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great phone for the basic user, November 5, 2003

Although this phone lacks on the modern technology stuff, it is a great durable, user-friendly phone. It is so easy to use and cost efficient. I have actually done everything to this phone such as dropping it on hard floors and in water but it is still operatable. I have had my phone for almost 2 yrs and I am about to upgrade but I will still keep it as a back-up. Has no color or camera but you can still download ring tones, instant message, send text messages, and play games! I recommend this phone for people who just want to make and receive calls and who is afraid of all the hi-tech phones!!
