The company "Nokia" won many fans in its time. Successful solutions, unusual appearance and functionality of products allowed the company to take a leading position. One of the best devices released back in 2003 was the 3100 phone. Attractive design and a set of features made the device popular. What is interesting about the device?
Design
Users liked "Nokia 3100" first of all because of its uniqueness. The front part of the device is transparent, this decision of the designers allowed the owners to decorate their device. If necessary, the body can be easily changed, since all parts are held on latches. Thus, the user can easily change the appearance and color of their device.
Ahead of the "Nokia 3100" are the display, speaker and keys. It should be noted that all buttons are rubber and change quite simply. The material of the keys makes it comfortable to work with the device. Fingers do not get tired, and all actions are performed smoothly.
The left side of the deviceis empty, and a speaker is placed on the right. The manufacturer decided to move the volume control to the joystick of the device. It cannot be said that such a move is successful. During a call, volume control is not very convenient. The back side of the device is empty, except for the lever for removing the cover.
The miniature device weighs only 86 grams due to light transparent plastic. It is convenient to work with a small phone. The mobile phone does not slip out of hands and does not cause discomfort.
Screen
Display "Nokia 3100" square shape. The screen dimensions are 27.3 by 27.3 mm. This form looks a little strange, but it does not spoil the appearance. The resolution of the small display is only 128 by 128 pixels. Accordingly, “cubes” are striking to the user. If not for this, one would consider the miniature screen to be quite successful.
The display of the device is quite bright and has 4096 colors in stock. The backlight is soft and practically does not tire the eyes. However, the real problems begin in the sun. The screen is very blind and it is almost impossible to make out what is happening on it. Even setting the maximum brightness does not solve the problem of "Nokia 3100".
Autonomy
The Model 3100 has a removable 850 maH battery. Capacity is enough for four days of work in passive mode. Batteries, when using the Internet and making calls, will last for a day. Even at maximum load, the phone can work up to 12 hours. Since the battery is drained for the most part only by the Internet and calls, the charge lasts for a long time. The battery charges quickly, in just a few hours the capacity is fully restored.
Memory
There is a huge problem with the memory in the phone. A little less than 1 MB is available to the user. This is enough to save several melodies and pictures. There is no flash drive slot, so the owner will have to take a balanced approach to memory consumption.
There are a lot of restrictions in 3100. The user can install about six games, and their "weight" should not exceed 64 kilobytes. With MMS, everything is also not easy. The device can store only 15 messages weighing no more than 45 kb.
Communication
Supports device GSM networks: 900, 1900 and 1800. You can use WAP or 6th class GPRS to access the Internet. The choice is small, the speed too, but for small tasks this is quite enough.
To download images and melodies, the user can use the Internet or do it with a USB cable. Unfortunately, the device does not have an infrared port.
Package
Supplied with "Nokia 3100" instructions, warranty, charger, battery. In some cases, a USB cable is also included in the kit. Although the equipment is small, it is quite enough. The user only needs to charge the device. If necessary, you can buy a headset for using the radio and a spare case.
Sound
The speaker of the mobile has good power. At maximum volume, the conversation can be heard even at a considerable distance. Of course the bestset the volume to half, then the conversation will be comfortable. The speaker does not give out extraneous crackles and noises, the interlocutor is heard clearly. The sound of melodies, calls and alarms is loud. Even on the street, the user will hear the device.
Device Features
In addition to an interesting "chip" with a transparent case that can be decorated, it is possible to expand the capabilities of the device through accessories. Installing a VGA camera makes it possible to take photos using the Nokia 3100. Since the device's memory is not enough to accommodate pictures, the additional gadget has 8 MB in stock. About fifty photos can be stored in the camera itself. You can also connect an FM tuner via Pop-port.
