To send images/wallpapers to your phone you have to send an MMS to yourself or download them off the web (there is no way you can do it via your PC), while installing games you have to place them on the /Applications folder of the MMC card, and then install them from there (placing them on a Games folder doesn’t work). There is only an “audio manager” app available, which is kind of useless as the phone is already mounted as a USB storage device anyway and so uploading music files is as simple as drag-and-drop.īut when it comes on uploading, let’s say, games or wallpapers or images, there is no good way of doing so. It gets worse: the phone is not supported by Nokia’s own phone application (the Oxygen manager requires you buy an f-bus convertor cable to support the phone, apparently). The biggest problem for me was the lack of “local” communications: no IrDA, no Bluetooth. The great thing about this phone is that you grab it with both hands and so the game-assigned keys on the keyboard (the game keys have different color than the rest of the keys) are easy to reach and usability feels a lot like a game pad. shoot’em ups) will look “dizzy” but slow paced games (e.g. The screen is dual scan and so fast action paced games (e.g. It comes preloaded with 4 games, but I installed a few more too. The phone also supports Java games and applications (MIDP-1.0). The keys feel good, and they give you a good feedback if something was pressed or not. I was able to type on it much faster than I do with the Zaurus 5500’s own thumb-board.

My personal favorite feature of the phone is its keyboard. We used the phone with AT&T/Cingular and we had very good reception (the 3300 has much better reception than my older SonyEricsson T310). On the hardware side, the phone has vibration, a DKU-2 data cable, a boom headset, a 2.5 hours talk time, 9 days on standby, about 9 hours of mp3 playback and about 11 hours of FM radio. Many features, many choices in the menus, including a WAP/XHTML browser (limited only by the huge fonts used…), IM instant messaging, MMS and SMS support, a calculator, an organizer, an image viewer, a voice recorder, email, voice commands, a countdown timer, a stopwatch.

Regarding the phone as a… phone, this is a normal 128×128 Nokia Series 40 phone. Using the recording line-in port we were even able to record from a CD audio source into AAC format. The FM radio works very well, and was able to receive all the local channels, preset our favorite channels and even record directly to the MMC card. The quality of the headset is not bad, but it’s not that great either: the stereo headset only has one earphone (for safety reasons), which brings the experience down a bit. On the top right of the phone there is a volume button that allows changing the volume of both the loudspeaker (which is of pretty good quality), the earphones and the internal speaker. There are no progress bars when playing a song, but you can easily move from one song to another using the four-way button on the phone which allows for “stop”, “play”, “next song”, and “previous song”, while long presses of the same button can move the playback to a different segment of the same song. In our test the internal player was able to read mp3 tags, but when a song did not have tags in it, the song would show up as blank in the screen, not even the filename would appear instead. The phone comes from the factory with seven 30-second songs as a demo. Pressing the music button again will load a menu with options for music playback, FM radio or switching off the current music.

The phone has a “music” button that will automatically start playing the first AAC or mp3 song in a playlist (.pls and. The phone mounts as a USB storage device on any operating system and so you could use the phone as an ordinary storage device! Of course, the main feature of the phone that makes it special is its mp3/aac playback capability, its FM playback and recording capability and its full-fledged keyboard. It comes with a 64 MB MMC card pre-installed but it supports MMC cards up to 1 GB. The phone sports a 128×128 4096 color dual-scan screen and the US version comes in two colors: orange and blue. The Nokia 3300 is a dual band 850 MHz/1900 MHz phone, utilizing the Series 40 user interface (version 1.0), which is Nokia’s home-brewed solution and OS (non-Symbian). The folks at sent us the US edition of the (unlocked) Nokia 3300 mp3 phone - one of the first of its kind - and we put it to test. There’s been a lot of talk lately about how phones with mp3 functionality will inevitably take over the mp3 player market.
