    Original Nokia 3310 Refurbished, Unlocked and 1 year Warranty - €9.73 -> €12.81 Delivered

    With a slightly rounded rectangular form, it fits comfortably in the Palm of your hand. Its monochrome screen displays 84 × 48 pixels.
    This phone has been very highly rated for its sturdiness and its shock resistance, using state of the art plastic casing, eliminating the need for any exterior casing like the otterbox.

    The buttons can be operated with your thumb. The blue button, which is the main menu button, will allow you to choose from options, and the 'C' button will allow you to go back or exit an application.
    There are buttons that allow you to navigate upwards and downwards, with two arrows that indicate the direction. The 'Market/stop/profile' button is a black button crafted into the top of the phone.

    Choose or create your own ringtone, or change the settings to allow it to vibrate in your pocket.

    The 3310 is known to incorporate many functions. These include many tools, such as a calculator, Currency Converter, a stopwatch and a callback function.
    It has four games, 'Snake II', 'Pairs II', 'Space Impact', and 'Bantumi '.
    It's SMS function is outstanding because it offers the ability to send long messages with twice the size of a standard SMS, also allowing the user(s) to send amusing ASCII pictures to each other.

    Ever hear a mysterious beep coming from somewhere in your house? It's from one of these that you charged up to use at Electric Picnic in 2007.

    It needs charging again.

    Eh? Aliexpress is quite reliable and source of a lot of items in Bargain Alerts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 116 ✭✭CapricornOne


    Wonder would they be worth a bit down the line? Collectors item of sorts...


  • Posts: 0 Veda Icy Geometry


    I was mad for the similar model 3330 at the time....just because it had WAP! :D On the same note isn't there another old Nokia phone that was aimed at business users at the time and is still used today? Can't remember the model number but it had a gold fascia and some car company made some (Mercedes or BMW)...

    edit: the 6210 and 6310 they were!!

    Yup that's it....and still going for decent money even today (on aliexpress anyway). Must be a hell of a phone.

    Wrong.

    I've bought from them close to a dozen times. No issues whatsoever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 222 ✭✭fitzer1982


    I've bought similar old style phones before, I seriously doubt they are the original. Last one I got wouldn't charge and involved paypal claims to get the money back.

    alexispress is actually pretty reliable and referred to many times on many different websites


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭keano25


    Just put some trousers on I last wore at a wedding in 2011 and found a Nokia 3210 in the back pocket.

    It's still got 2 bars of battery on it.

    Thanks OP.

    Yeah, the biggest e-commerce site in China with massive revenue and global recognition. :rolleyes: Please feel free to do some research before posting. I'm sure there's a chinese lad somewhere looking at ebay and saying the same thing as you!

    Personally i have stopped using ebay completely and generally buy at least once a month from Aliexpress these days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭utyh2ikcq9z76b


    Your not actually buying anything from alixpress its just a platform for buyers and sellers, same way you don't buy anything from ebay

    Looks dodgy to me, fairly sad when people are getting excited over ancient phones...

    Hells bells, there's always one:rolleyes:

    For your info, if anything goes wrong when buying buying from AliExpress, you can report the seller. And they will come down on that seller far heavier than fleabay ever would.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,459 ✭✭✭Chucken


    Which bundle should I select?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,907 ✭✭✭✭Kristopherus


    Choose the Simple one if you don't need the second battery.

    I wouldn't say so, it ships out within 37 days, (that's processing time, just to cover themselves.).

    Saying that, it will still be around 3 - 4 weeks slow post.
    EMS is ~ 2 weeks, and probably only really worth it if you're buyig more than 1.

    These are actually still sold in Galway (refurbished), in this phone shop 'Phonez' I think, for 60 euro.

    I think it's mainly because some cars at the time had built-in car kits for the Nokia connector which was dropped after the 6310i. So it's handy to have if you have such a car.

    I might also get myself one of these 3310's though, they're great phones to have as a backup.

    Anyone that has ordered this phone, what are the different "Bundle" options, as in simple,simple Add battery,standard and standard Add battery.

    Did anyone get the phone yet? I see mine has landed at Dublin Mail Centre. Ordered on 4th Sept., so not too bad as delivery from China goes.
