The
Nokia 6310 is the replacement for the Nokia 6210, widely regarded
as a design classic. The Nokia 6210 was probably one of the most
user-friendly phones around, and the 6310 offers a very similar
design, updated in style, and packing in the latest features, including
GPRS WAP, Bluetooth™ wireless technology, and a built-in voice
recorder.
However,
the 6310 is missing Tri-band and Java, and for that the 6310i
is needed.

down quite number of times but it works like always... I am very
happy by using this one. THERE IS NO OTHER MOBILE PHONE RELIABLE

I still have this phone! A few years ago my dog ate my new Motorola
RAZR. As a temp phone i started using my dad's old business phone,
his 6310. I fell in love with it instantly. Four years on and i
refuse to part with it, it's stunningly simple, has an insanely
long battery life and is INDESTRUCTABLE!!! i've dropped it in a
lake and from my bedroom window and put it through the wash a dozen
times...and it's still going strong. I'm 16 and to be honest I love
this phone regardless of it's age and size, it's so reliable. Rating:

What a G-R-E-A-T phone ! I have big fingers & it's ideal simply
for that alone ! But all the features it has are more than enough
for me. I got it on an up-grade aeons ago & I WON'T be parting from
it as long as spares are available. Truly the best all round phone
Nokia have ever produced. Mine has just been refurbished as I can't
find anything decent to replace it. Not one has any where near the
battery life. As Pepe' says, if you haven't had a chance to EXPERIENCE
this phone, you really haven't lived ! I agree. LONG LIVE THE 6310! Rating:

I love this phone, have had it for a long time and am absolutely
won over by it, i also have a Nokia 8800 sirocco but i still prefer
this phone over that one as the sirocco battery isn't exactly ace.
This phone i reckon is BY FAR THE BEST PHONE NOKIA HAVE BUILT, Nokia
should not have stopped production. I am thinking about getting
the Nokia 6300 next but i wont be surprised if i jump back to this
old friend of mine namely the Nokia 6310 as i have done it b4 numerous
times. I advise every1 who has this phone to keep it, and those
who haven't, well you won't understand anyways. Another thing is
YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT PHONES, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU
HAVE HAD, IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THIS PHONE EVERY YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED
THE TRUE NOKIA MAGIC AND YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT PHONES. LONG
LIVE THE 6310!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating:

I was given this phone on a business rate tariff through work,and
at first you feel like you have just gone 10 years into the past
when using it because of the black and white screen and basic functions!
I've had many phones with colour screens,cameras,video players,etc,etc
and with those phones come the usual problems of the phone freezing
etc. Plus you get bored with them after a while.......there's only
so many photo's you can take and video's you can watch! If you just
want to talk/text then this phone is reliable,good battery life,sturdy
and can take a few bumps and knocks. It hasn't let me down yet! Rating:

This phone is truly remarkeable. I have had mine over 5 years now
and it just keeps on going. Truly is a business man phone. I own
my own accountancy firm and as you can imagine i would need a phone
with excellent battery life and a phone that was designed for business.
I got my 6310 in 2002 on an upgrade. Since then it only developed
one fault and that was my fault purely. I dropped the phone accidentally
and my secretary stepped on it, the screen cracked. This was last
year so I took it to my local phone shop and ended up paying £30
for repair. It was money well spent. Recently I got the Nokia 8800
Sirocco Edition. Its a great phone but it has poor battery life
for a heavy user. If your a low to medium user its perfect. I still
use my Sirocco but it isn't for business but purely for personal
use. My 6310 is by far suited to my needs and is better for business
as i finish off 1600 x-net minutes a month easily. This phone is
excellent and is easily the best phone i have ever had. Even 6 years
on when i pull this phone people still say "Thats a great phone
you got there". Now that is quite good for a OAP in the phone world.
MY ADVICE TO ANYONE WHO HAS THIS PHONE IS KEEP IT!!! Rating:

I genuinely think that the 6310(i) is the best mobile phone ever
made. Awesome battery life which is still unmatched, excellent reception,
fantastic build quality and ergonomics, Nokia's tried and tested
menu system - what more do you need?? (assuming you need a phone).
Lots of people who have owned one and replaced with newer have junked
the newer phone and gone back. Regarding size, it isn't easy to
find as good a phone in a much smaller phone nowadays. I've had
mine for 5 years, and am struggling to find a decent replacement,
now that it is starting to die regularly after I dropped it so many
times. Rating:

What a phone (For its age!) it has so many features and animations
i was shocked when i found it had bluetooth too, my much more modern
3510i doesnt even have that. And its Tri-band not Dual-band so reception
is great, battery lasts for up to 1 and a half weeks, yes the size
is annoying but i've had worse and i think people on this review
page have been cruel. Thanks for Reading Rating:

I'm just about to say a reluctant goodbye to my 6310 after it has
accepted about 4 years of abuse by giving me almost zero trouble
in return. Sadly, the right-hand side of the keypad is slowly giving
up. The battery (original) STILL lasts for a week or more, I never
switch it off. Yes, it's irritating that the text inbox takes an
age to open (fixed on the 6310i, which I also have as my employer
provides it), but that's the only thing that was ever wrong with
this handset - an outstanding communication tool and a design classic.
At the present, I don't see the need for a blocky camera, crackly
FM radio, tinny MP3 playback and battery-sapping colour screen,
but as I'm replacing with the 6230i, which has all these features,
I trust that I'm about to become a convert. I just hope I'll be
as moved by its passing to record my opinions in a review! In my
judgement the 6310 was the ultimate of its generation - the pre-colour
handsets - and therefore deserves 5 stars. May someone somewhere
give mine a good home when it's been reconditioned. Rating:

Having read the other reviews, I can state several things: firstly,
you don't need to state the size of a phone in a review - that much
about it ought to be obvious. Secondly the use of "textspeak" by
countless reviwers surely renders their reviews as irrelevant. This
telephone performs in terms of battery and bluetooth features. The
voice activation is very useful too. In other words as consummate
an article as a telephone can be. If it's cameras, colour screen
etc that you want, then clearly a telephone that is so good in regards
to communication isn't for you. Rating:

Excellent phone, lacks the current fashion for colour screens and
photos, but makes up in other areas. The battery will easily go
well over a week without going near a charger, and the nokia PC
suite lets you control all aspects of your phone over IR or bluetooth
including outlook sync. Also the size of a proper phone and nigh
