Nokia 3510 Review


The feature of this phone is that it has polyphonic melodies and also it's the first time when a middle-class Nokia phone supports GPRS and MMS. This means that the model will be in production for a long time. And for the first time there are gleaming in the dark panels with changed key form among accessories.

Class: youth, middle
Position in the line: between 3410 and 5210 models.
Rival phones: Siemens C45, Alcatel 310

Review

The Nokia 3510 was the replacement for the hugely-popular Nokia 3210/3310/3330 phones. Featuring an updated front panel design, the 3510 is the same size as the older Nokias, but lighter. Like the 3410, the Nokia 3510 has all of the features that made the 3210/33xx so popular - downloadable ringtones, Xpress-on™ covers and great ease of use. But it introduces some new technology within the familiar exterior. New features include polyphonic (MIDI) ringtones, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and GPRS (fast, always-on internet access).The X-press-on covers available for the Nokia 3510 include some specialised functional covers, such as the gaming cover. Snap on the gaming cover, and you can really enjoy the 5 built-in games, which make good use of the phone's polyphonic sound and vibration effects.
