Review

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.
