In a nutshell: This is a great entry-level phone from Nokia.
A classic user-friendly design, built to last and with excellent
battery life, it will get on with the job without any trouble. It
includes a camera, MP3 player and FM radio and has the benefits
of an expandable memory card, Bluetooth connectivity and triband.
The 3110 offers exceptional value for money. The 3110 Evolve is
the same as the 3110 Classic, but has environmentally-friendly street
cred too.
The Nokia 3110 Evolve is exactly the same as the
Nokia 3110 Classic, except
that it incorporates environmentally-friendly aspects into its design
and manufacturer. In particular, it has the following eco-friendly
features:
Uses bio-covers created from more than 50% renewable
materials
The packaging is smaller and uses 60% recycled
materials
The battery charger minimises the no load energy
consumption in case you forget to unplug it from the power socket
OK, so it's not going to single-handedly reverse
global warming, but it's a start. Not many people realise that if
you leave a phone charger plugged in, it consumes energy even if
the phone isn't connected to it. Perhaps if the chargers had a label
on them telling people this, then more people might realise it.
Anyway, you should always unplug or switch off your phone charger
when not in use. But if you forget or can't be bothered, then the
3110 Evolve will do a little bit to help.
Now, let's applaud Nokia and say that being environmentally
friendly is a Good Thing, etc, etc. But you know, we can't help
being a teeny weeny bit cynical. Mobile phones aren't great for
the planet, especially when most of us buy a new one every year
and chuck the old one in the bin. The single most important thing
that any of us can do with regard to mobile phone ownership is to
recycle our old phone when we replace it with a new one. Nokia seem
to be trying to make a difference here, but they could have made
all of their phones like this. Instead they've created one environmentally-friendly
phone, which kind of draws attention to the lack of progress in
all the other phones that they make. We also have this sneaking
suspicion that the 3110 Evolve isn't going to be easy to buy, and
that most people will buy the 3110 Classic, which is flooding into
the shops and is looking to become a best-seller. Time will tell.
