Rating: Summary: Cool but flawed Review: On the plus side: I've had no problems ripping / downloading songs and it's great for text messaging. It's got a SIM-card which I think is different from (and better than) most US phones. On the down side: 1) the keys aren't backlit so you can't use in the dark. 2) the earphones are horrible: they're heavy, don't have a clip, have bizarrely long ear wires, and can't be "coiled up" when not in use (so mine are always tangled). They're impossible to use while jogging. They come disconnected from the phone if you leave it in your pocket. Finally, the mic sits about belt level, which is why you always see people holding their "hands free microphone" if they want to be heard. It's hard to imagine how the same company could make this cool phone & these horrible mic/headphones. In short: Fine for on the train, but not for active usage.
Rating: Summary: Not perfect, but I like it Review: Reading the other reviews, I agree that the Nokia Audio Manager is not the best software in the world. I can't get it to reorganize tracks, and unless you keep pressing buttons to keep the screen on the phone lit up, it does freeze up the computer while trying to load songs on it. That said, why am I giving the phone 4 stars? Cause I like the sound quality, the features, and the customization ability, which to me are the basics of a phone. Once you have do the songs uploaded, the music player is easy enough to use, and you can use normal bud earphones to listen if you think, like I do, that the enclosed headset appears rather fragile. The stereo quality is nice on the music, and I've not had problems being heard even on a busy city street with the enclosed microphone headset, which fit me just fine. It also has all the bells and whistles including ring tones from mp3 files, and I think the speakerphone is quite loud. You just have to not cover the speaker holes located on the lower back of the phone. And it also depends if your cellphone is your life. I'm a casual user, so I like it just fine.
Rating: Summary: THIS PHONE IS NOT GREAT! IT'S GARBAGE Review: Save your money and look into a phone that's easier to use than this one. I initially liked this phone for its odd shape and exciting features, but now I regret my purchase altogether. I have Cingular, and the service has been pretty good. That's not the problem, but I realized that Nokia is second to Motorola when it comes to quality. I like the FM radio & MP3 features, but they come with massive flaws. You can't play the radio without the headsets in the phone which is bulky and annoying. I love listening the radio on my cell, and if you do too, then look into a phone that has radio hands-free headsets. If Nokia were to improve this phone and re-release it like they do with weak music cd's, then it would do better on the market. THE WORST PROBLEM I HAVE is with the keypad. I love the keypad, but I hate it! Full QWERTY keypad but it does not light up nor does it even glow in the dark. Don't even think you'll memorize the keys because you won't trust me! False advertising with the Express on Cases. Nokia said they would void my warranty if I were to change cases. So, ladies and gentlemen, don't end up like me!!! I have two more years left in this contract and I hate this phone. I do get a lot of looks with it... but only if they knew how much I wished I had the ... Motorola V600...
Rating: Summary: Horrible service from AT&T Review: The phone is great but AT&T has to be the worst cell phone provider ever. There network has so many dead spots its not funny and not small ones either. I got better signal when i was roaming so what ever you do do not get at&t is a big disapointment!
Rating: Summary: Wanted to throw it in the trash can. Review: This phone fell short my expectations. Cons: Speakerphone is not very loud Radio gets horrible reception Buttons are too complicated (esp for text message) NOT RECOMMENDED for text while driving (what i do all the time.lol) Buttons dont light up No AIM No Camera Earpiece is too big and too much hassle to carry Radio will not work w/out earpiece 64MB is not enuf for mp3's. Earpiece keeps coming off. PROS: its a nokia reception pretty good I recommend the nokia 6610. same menu set up with radio and LOUDER speakerphone and smaller. Depends on the user. I am a picky customer but this phone sucks. My friend warned me and fell in the trap.
Rating: Summary: Great Phone - Tough to find Accessories Review: This phone has worked well for me. The sound is clear and reception is fantastic. The sound of the music is pretty good with the supplied headphones and the microphone/headset is crystal clear. I have not been lucky trying to find a case or other accessories for this phone. The only accessories that seem available mostly all came with the phone. I have not found a case that fits it right to date. The music software seems to work well. And the recording capability of the phone is also pretty good. I like the full keypad for entering contact info. It is a lot easier than with other cell phones. One final note - I wish they had a phone disabling option in order that the music player on the phone could be used in an airplane. If you're looking for a phone that is a little different, offers a little more than a standard phone and is easy to program and add contact info to, this is a great phone.
Rating: Summary: Horrible service from AT&T Review: When I decided to buy my very first phone I wanted to get the best one I could buy. Looks and capabilities were a key factor in deciding which one. I was about to get a samsung but at cingular they try to sell you nokias because they have better reception. I picked the 3300 because it was an mp3 player, radio, cool design, and because I saw that alicia keys used one in one of her music videos. I have had it since January and ir hasn't failed me yet. One thing I would change is that they would sell holsters for it at cingular and interchangable plates. Other than that I highly recommend it. Put if you want something really small don't get it.

Rating: Summary: Would Be Great if AT&T Admitted Their Customer Service SUCKS Review: When I first purchased the phone, it was great! AT&T provided good service in my house (which is practically a dead zone) and it was perfect. Then I wanted to add M-Mode (an AT&T internet feature) and HELLO, tell me why I was on the phone for 45 minutes waiting for a live operator (thank goodness 611 is free, otherwise it'd eat up my minutes!). My phone calls now keep getting dropped if someone tries to call me; it takes 3 phone calls to actually establish a secure phone call w/out being dropped. For shame to AT&T. If the rumours are true & AT&T does merge with Cingular, they'd better kick some a** or my a** is switching over to Verizon where they provide real service or Nextel (where you actually get a customer service rep. in less than 3 minutes -- sometimes less than 2 mins). If it's for show & tell, yea then get the phone, but if it's for serious use, stick with what you have, it's probably better anyways. As for the speakerphone feature, the music plays great, but sometimes it's not loud enough even in your own car for you to hear (don't drive & keep cellphone to ear, you get tickets in NY state that way). The mp3 & FM radio features rock when you're taking the bus to school or something to pass time, keeps you from getting bored. Conclusion: If this phone were offered by a real provider like Verizon, then it'd be worth having cos you'd get great service & a great phone to show off and use. The phone is very handy with its other features. Look for the NOKIA 6225 w/VGA Camera installed coming soon, probably the best phone that'll be out there for quite a while. Good luck...
