The
NEC 343i is an entry-level phone that features an i-mode web browser.
i-mode
is a new standard that makes it easy to access the web and use e-mail
from a mobile phone. The 343i is a very thin phone, but apart from
its thinness and the i-mode capability it's an undistinguished phone.
The
phone looks nice enough, and has a cool blue backlit keypad. However,
the keypad is hard to use, especially when texting. The phone also
tends to scratch easily, and won't look so good once the paint has
rubbed off! The camera is very basic, as are the display quality
and the ringtones. Frustratingly the available memory is one of
the smallest on any comparable phone, so there is hardly any room
for storing photos. Reception is also not the best, and users are
reporting various reliability issues. Really, not a phone to be
recommended.
Features
of the NEC 343i include:
Digital camera
Display: 65,536 colours, 128 x 160 pixels
40-voice polyphonic ringtones
Voice recorder (50 seconds)

It doesn't have millions of functions, like many modern phones do,
but it does the job. I have dropped mine a number of times and it
has not broken at all. The keys are nice and large. All in all,
a good phone. Until a few weeks ago. It has recently been playing
up. It's been freezing when I try to ring someone, send a text,
open the phonebook, etc. The only way to switch it off when it does
this is to take the battery out. Also, I am having difficulty charging
it recently. But I can accept this, as it is now over 3 years old. Rating:

I bought one. Sure it makes phone calls and texts (although sometimes
the buttons don't always work when you push them)but I wouldn't
recomend it. I found that downloads eg ringtones can only be used
once and although when you use it for second time it says that it's
done it, when in reality it doesn't change anything. I mode however
is quite cool. But the imode is really exensive. metal plate on
the back does scratch easily. No bluetooth. No computer syncronisation.
No mp3 player. No infrared. no video recording or playback. Camera
is average athough doesn't work at all in low light. I bought mine
and had to return it cos the screen went crazy whenever I took a
photo and then it froze. It also wouldn't accept my old sim card.
In my opinion it's worth paying an extra £10 or £20 for one from
a more reputable brand. Rating:

This is the worst phone in the world - i only bought it to replace
my beloved, yet dying samsung e700 - and i wish i had just not bothered
at all. you can't even hear it ring when it's in your pocket and
you're walking along the road (even one with not much traffic) and
it is true - it keeps vibrating for no reason at all and will only
stop if you take the battery out. what is more, is this phone actually
cost me a fortune when i went to italy - i know texts cost about
40/50p each when you are abroad, but this phone kept sending the
same message continually, meaning i was charged £4 for ONE text!
and over the course of my entire trip, nearly each one of my texts
sent itsself mutliple times, and you can only stop it by taking
the battery out - so to overcome this, i actually bought an italian
SIM card to use in the phone, but then it was locked, so i couldn't
even use the new SIM card, so overall this phone has cost me a fortune,
and it is rubbish. i know it is only about £40 , but seriously,
you would think that they test products enough to eradicate errors
such as spelling "score" as "scroe" and game instructions which
look like they were written in chinese and then translated in an
internet translator. i would stick with the cheapest nokia going
if you don't want to pay much, at least you know it will work, and
you'll be able to hear it ring! avoid this phone at ALL costs. Rating:

This phone is exactly what it is supposed to be - a mobile phone.
It has one of the best keyboard layouts. It does not fold, bent,
screw, pack, etc. - so it is ever ready. It has poor camera but
be honest, do you really believe you will take quality pictures
with a camera phone - nah, for that purpose you buy PHOTO camera,
the only real purpose of the camera phone is to take a snapshot
of your contacts. No MP3 and memory - come on, be serious, do you
really think that Motorola R3 with 5MB is a MP3 player, if you do
then you all-time-favourite songs list must contain two songs and
they are evergreens (only a evergreens will fit into that memory).
Also it has decent browser and e-mail client, believe me, you won't
use them more than once in a month (if you do then you have a communication
problem, you have become a faceless information processing unit
- go and see your best school friend, tell him your problem and
ask him to punch you right between your eyes and pray that it helps).
So, in conclusion, you do not buy spade with remote control, wireless
interface and true colour LCD screen - you buy phone, the ideal
phone for talking and texting for the ideal price - think with your
head do not let big businesses shape your mind! Rating:

Overall, I'd have to agree with everyone here... If you want a phone
loaded with features - this is junk. On the other hand, if you want
basic functionality with a couple of bits and bobs thrown in, this
is awesome - hence the average score. I got this phone because it
looked the best out of the phones (in my town) that met my other
criteria: Sub-£50, PAYG, O2 - in that order. As it happened, O2
knocked a tenner off the handset if you bought it with a £10 top-up
(i.e. I paid for credit, not the phone), and I traded in an old
phone for another £10 off(worked, but didn't hold a charge longer
than an hour ;-P). The reason I'm happy with it is because my better
half has a much more expensive phone that does all the hi-res pix/video/Bluetooth/mp3
capability - so if I need that, I use hers (Samsung e350 - it's
pink, you see!). I, on the other hand, needed a phone so she could
reach me when she had finished shopping, or if we got otherwise
separated - and she was fed up with me nicking hers when I wanted
to text my mates, too. So - cheap phone for basic functionality,
with decent looks. The only thing that irritates me about it is
that it doesn't have a standard 2.5/3.5mm audio socket. I was hoping
to find a Bluetooth adapter for the (non-Bluetooth) phone in order
to use the headset we got with the Samsung, but I can't find one
with a mini-USB input - and only one with a standard jack! Rating:

Yes it looks pretty cool, & yes it's inexpensive.. .. but it's the
NEC's ergonomics that REALLY bug me. I bought this phone as a budget
replacement for my (stolen) Motorola V220- which was in turn a replacement
for my (drowned) Trium, etc.. I'm only interested in paying £50
for a PAYG phone, but even at that price point I do expect it to
WORK! My problem with the 343i is the keys. As other reviewers have
suggested, this is a great 'Mum' phone.. but if you're at all speedy
at texting, the flat, square keypad & dodgy keys will DRIVE YOU
OUT OF YOUR MIND!!! If you want a 'n', you'll get an 'm', if you
want an 'x' you'll get a 'w'.. basically, you can't rush it- it'll
only go at its own (v.slow) pace. The lack of menu / icon customisation
is also bit of a drag, but other than that, a nice basic phone.
(Can't comment on i-Mode, because I don't need / use it) Conclusion:
Let's face it, you wouldn't even be looking at the NEC if you had
more money to spend- so if cool Apple-ish looks are important, go
ahead & buy it. However, if you really want a quality, usable, £50
PAYG phone that feels good in the hand and really works- get on
eBay and buy yourself an old Motorola / Nokia. Your mates might
not be impressed, but you'll keep your sanity! Rating:

a fan of their latest colour screen phones having owned the 6111
and 8880, I feel they have "lost the plot" I work in an area of
poor mobile reception - but since owning the NEC reception is actually
BETTER than the Nokia! The phone is very slim and battery life is
acceptable, plus you can buy car chargers off ebay for a few pounds.
It's taking a while to learn how to text as things are in different
places than the Nokia, but the T9 predictive text is the same and
the keypad is very nice to text with. All in all for £60 I'd recommend

Looks good, slim, pocket sized, nice simple design, metal backed.
And it's cheap, £50 on o2. The main strength is their deal, which
makes this currently one of the only phones you can get push email
(ie emails arrive like texts, so you don't have to check for them).
The tariff works out really cheap and this is why i give 3 stars.
The functionality of the phone is awful, bad reception and heats
up so it's uncomfortable to talk after 10mins. But for £50 + £10
a month pay as you go for 100 free mins + emails, whatchya gonna
do? Rating:

The fone looks minted i love the blue keypad but it operates really
poorly. I would not recommend this phone to anyone the camera only
works when it wants to and it always is searching for network! Rating:

It's a rubbish phone with one of the worst cameras i've ever used.
The buttons are hard to press and it keeps breaking down. I wouldn't
even recommend this phone to a begger!!! Rating:

... not much to be said, it is quite simply, the least attractive
and most overrated mobile phone I have ever owned. Rating:

This phone cant get a signal where other phones on the same network
have no trouble. Battery life is poor - probably because its always
searching for the network. Typing texts is frustrating. The phone
scratches easily in your pocket. On the plus side it does have a
good keypad and looks good. But overall, its a cheap phone and it
really does show. If you want an imode phone, go for Samsung. Rating:

great phone. cool game on it like tetris. 02 are doing them at £35.00
for a refurbished one all in although this might meen the have a
steady supply of them coming back to them as faulty so slightly
cautious. anyway comes with 6 months warrenty so who cares at the
price. camera is very poor quality but how often do you really use
it. Rating:
