Nokia MT000738 3310 Unlocked Dual UK SIM-Free Mobile Phone - Yellow

I read a lot of reviews of this Nokia telephone, some of which yelled 'fake' (always a bit worrying). Nevertheless, knowing that Amazon would resolve a problem should it arise, I ordered it anyway as this telephone is dual sim (something very useful to me, living much of the year in Asia). I have a 'smart phone' but don't like that some of the settings are over-complicated, such as sleep/standby mode, and I worry that if I don't change a zillion settings before sleeping, I either get woken by apps pinging, or worse, really important calls or messages don't reach me in an emergency situation.I remember the original version of this phone and it was Ok. But oh HOW much better this one feels and looks. It's thinner, sleeker, smoother and way-cooler looking (is that why people shouted fake, because it does look different to the original Nokia 3310?). I really don't care; this is a great, simple phone. It's so cool in fact that my 19 and 22 year old sons thought it better looking than their iphones. Sure, it's not a smart phone per se, but if you want a neat, easy, simple 'phone which handles the basics, has no complicated settings and can slip into even a small pocket, this is the one. I think when I get back to Indonesia next week, my husband is going to try and wrestle it from me.

Bought it for someone else. They said it was v good.

It is just what I wanted as I don't want a smart phone and there is a limited number of this type of phones to choose from, and I have had Nokia in the past and this doesn't disappoint.

I bought this to replace my husband's Nokia 3310 which was broken beyond repair. I bought from this Amazon seller because it was quicker delivery than ordering direct from Nokia - big mistake. The phone looks like it has been used and repackaged- there was no peel-off screen protector, so the screen was very marked; also a chip on the screen surround, and the part where you remove the back had obviously been forced open by some implement. The instructions were in some foreign script - maybe Vietnamese as this is where the phone was made. I removed the SIM cards from the old phone - neither of them would fit in the new phone. I had to get a new SIM card and even then, I can only use one SIM as it won't recognise the second one. I would have sent it back except for the fact that my husband really needed a phone. Certainly not ideal, I would not recommend buying from them.

Liked the look, and colour

I guess you get what you pay for. Poor quality phone very difficult to open and impossible to charge with supplied British adaptor. Have to use the also supplied Finnish one with an extra adaptor added. Instructions poor too with phone not appearing to be meant for the British market. However phone does what it says on the tin and works but glad I don't have to use it.

Very good phone, worth of have one.
