The Nokia 6310i adds Triband capability to the
Nokia 6310, enabling it to operate worldwide. This feature, combined
with the new Java applications, famous user-friendliness and features
like High Speed Data, voice dialling and voice recorder make the
Nokia 6310i an excellent business phone.
The Java capability means that you can download
applications just as easily as downloading ringtones or graphics.
As well as Java games, you can also download applications like personal
assistants, travel and information tools.
We would like to have awarded the 6310i a higher
rating, but there are persistent reports of reliability and reception
problems with this phone. The Bluetooth support is also limited,
its a heavy phone to carry and some of its features are rather dated.
For those looking for a 6310i replacement, we recommend
the Nokia 6021 which has all the features
of the 6310i (and more) in an updated design.

Ikeep looking to buy a new phone as my 6310i is getting very knocked
about but every time I fail to find a phone that does the essentials
( battery life, call quality, bluetooth, durability ) as well and
has a comfortable size and shape with the right amount of weight.
It really amazes me that with no real problems on my budget I am
going back to buy refurbished 6310i's . It really is that good.
I have looked at the latest Nokias but they feel lightweight and
too small. Camera's etc are just gimmicks Rating:

"They don't make them like they used to" - and that is certainly
the case when you review any of the 6210/6310/6310i family. What
a truly excellent and perfect family of phones. Their design is
flawless and functions are rich and ideal for business and personal
users. I'm currently using a 6310 and a 6310i and I'm amazed at
the battery life these phones offer even with continuous use throughout
the day. I think the only complaint I have is how the fascia's become
worn and shabby, you have to be fragile with them to keep them looking
good. It's a shame Nokia don't make these anymore and it's a shame
everything on the market looks like it's been built to target 8
year olds. If you want a good, reliable, solid phone, get one of
these, they are a bargain second hand and there are so many to choose
from. Rating:

This is the phone's one weak point. The finish on the case isn't

I would like a phone with all the new toys like cameras and mp3-players,
but first and foremost I want a good phone. The 6310 has the perfect
keyboard, it seems to be made for my fingers. The battery is still
going strong and the phone itself can fall all the way to hell and
bounce back working as well as it always has. Those of you who are
having trouble with the phone switching off randomly, try the 'Nokia
paper trick': take a small piece of paper, fold it couple of times
over and place it between the phones body and the battery. This
is something you should do to every Nokia phone. Over time the battery
will get loose and thus it won't be able to provide a steady voltage
for the phone. This will cause all kinds of weird behaviour like
the phone switching itself off randomly, the battery life going
down dramatically and even the phone booting itself at 3:33AM every
night! Rating:

This is truly one of Nokia's best phones yet. After a false start
with Bluetooth only being supported by their (now defunct) PCMCIA
Bluetooth adapter, Nokia fixed the problem, and if you've got software
version 5.50 or higher, it should work with most BT adapters out
there. I've had PC Suite 4.88 work for over a year with two different,
cheap, BT adapters (Belkin and Linksys). The phone is exactly the
right form factor, and feels great in the hand. It has Nokia's stellar
user interface, before they slowed everything down with unecessary
colour and non-phone related functions that you will never use.
Even after two years, I still get 9-14 days out of a battery charge.
My reception is consistently as good or better than any phones I
compare it with. The only downside is the way that it handles a
BT headset. It keeps the connection active all the time, which means
that you've got to disconnect the headset if you want to use your
BT PDA to dial the phone, or to connect to the GPRS modem. So even
after I've had this phone for 2 years, I have not found a compelling
reason to upgrade. I really like my gadgets, and even so, I have
kept this phone longer than almost any other before it. If you're
in the market for a great no-frills phone, I would definitely recommend
the Nokia 6310i! Rating:

if all you use it for is voicecalls then I'd say this is still the
best around. Standby lasts for about ten days if you're away from
a charger!!! Buttons are easy to dial with one hand. Alarm is loud,
vibrate is strong if you need to be quiet. At the moment I'm thinking
of upgrading but can't really see anything worth spending money

This phone is a work horse - Just works and works. I have had it
for 2 years without problem and make 80 calls a day (take 40 calls
a day) and it is brilliant. The slim design fits in the tightest
jeans and the phone memory is excellent - Nokia says it can hold
500 "names" - well I have 500 names & numbers and the "phone memory"
is still only 57% utilized. Chuck it , knock it, beer face it -
it works! Great phone - however beware! The new phones on the market
have truly bewitching offerings (video / music / camera / 24 function
swiff army knife / breath analyser / length of dick measurer etc)but
these are marketing trinkets only and virtually junk compared to
the solid practical offerings of the 6310i. Smoke & mirrors or the

I have had this 'phone for 12 months now, it was a free upgrade
from a 5210 and I am being offerred another upgrade. The only problem
is I cant see anything half as good on the market. There are plenty
of 'pretty' camera 'phones out there but none seem to have the robustness,
battery life or sheer quality of this 'phone. To those considering
one as a second hand buy consider the following; 1) See how many
of these you see being used by business users who rely on 'phones
(you even see the old gold and black models about) 2) Dont worry
about bluetooth compatability, mine works with 2 headsets, a Sony
organiser and a Mac via USB dongle. I have used it to browse the

Well, first impressions of this phone are that it is great. However,
as someone else has reviewed have found that using this phone causes
headaches. The phone is on an o2 SIM. I also have a t610 which I
can use for hours at a time and do not suffer this problem. Again,
have had the phone checked and all is reported to be ok, obviously
something somewhere isn't. I know loads of other people that also
have this phone as it is company provided, none to my knowledge
have the same problems. Apart from this problem.... battery life

What can I say. I have had some nice phones in the past including
a Nokia 7650, Treo P600, but the second hand 6310i from Ebay eclipses
them all. I can't put it down. It just feels so right in your hand.
It oozes quality. Ok, so there is no camera and no colour and no
polyphonic ring tones, but after all this is a phone not a gimmick.
The white backlight on the display stands it out from other phones
for a start. I have had the phone for a week and the battery life
bar graph still hasn't dropped from reading full (I've not made
many calls but it has been on standby for all that time). The voice
recorder is of excellent audio quality and very useful. I don't
know what phone Nokia have replaced this one with, but it will have

Hi! The phone is very nice, battery lasts for about a week (now,
1 .5 years since I have it) and I talk about 400 minutes/month.
There are two drawbacks i met: 1. if I get the sms confirmation
while you browse the Outbox (for example, you send the SMS, and
then search Outbox to find some message to delete 'cos you want
to save the one you just sent) then the mobile hangs 'partially'
not letting me go again into the Messages menu. 2. after using Bluetooth
(I have a tungsten T3 which I use paired with the phone to connect
to Internet) I have to reset the phone, otherwise I won't be able
to make/receive any phone calls or send/receive SMS-es. It appears
as being online, but nothing comes/goes out. But beside these very
rare ocations/inconvenicences, the phone is outstanding. Fast, very
nice battery, bit buttons to press, calendar + conectivity, a truly

easily the best business phone ever. battery backup is exceptional,

of about 20-30 minutes standby of about 24 hours ( think about that
). i had a 6210 which i which i lost so went for the 6310 which
is practically the same ( lost it as well ). 6310i is the same as
6310 minus a minute of recording time and java applications. i have
this set for about seven months now and it has been to the service
station twice, kept switching off all the time but now seems ok.
i use it extensily and there are no problems at all (daily phone
usage is 4-5 hours talk time). the nokia phone editor software for
synchronising is great for managing data between laptop and phoneset,
tends to hang though with windowsXP its ok with 98 or 2000. bluetooth
is simply great. you can use the bluetooth for talking and at the
same time transfer data to the laptop. GPRS modem is very primitive
and the best i got is 9660 kbps / sec even on HCSC D using a data
cable, with bluetooth it shows the max. speed on pc but connection
is not better than 28k actually.plus you cannot use the net and
talk at the same time, the modem does not allow that. all in all
its not perfect but the best business phone considering that you
can use it almost anywhere in world, reception and voice quality
and above all battery life my acp-12 charges it in 3 hours from
zero. the only thing i would like improved is a better generation

will last such a long time, and the battery meter is very accurate
(no surprises like with my old Motorola). The range is not great
but I attribute that more to our regional GSM coverage (or lack
of it) rather than the phone. The phone has an excellent record
feature that I have found very useful - when I don't have a pen
to write down every detail, it's great for getting driving directions
or whatever. The ability to sync with my Palm is outstanding. I
have about 80 people in my 6310i, and each has multiple phone numbers,
and the phone handles it perfectly. The lack of a speakerphone is
a minor flaw, although given the rest of the phone's great features,
it's easily forgivable. I've had this phone for about a year and
a half, and while many phones since have had "neat" features like
colour screens and polyphonic ringtones (features that the 6310i

Hi! I have the phone for one week now. Had 6210 before, for 2 years.
It's much faster than the first one (almost fast as a 3310 in the
menus, as compared to 6210 which was slow). Haven't yet filled the
Inbox on this one but I expect a speed decrease as the memory space
reduces. Attention to details has increased: while on 6210 you could
only scroll throuh the special chars (when composing a sms) using
up/down buttons, you can now use the buttons 2,4,6,8 and 5 to select.
If you missed a call, you have the "Send message" option now being
displayed as the second one (after "Time of call"), not almost at
the end of the options list. You have also a "Write e-mail" just
below "Write message" (in Messages), but even if this is kewl, it
has pushed the "Inbox" on the third position, and i got used to
it being the second one (as in 6210). I also like to program it,
writing midlets is a cute and fine way to feel the phone closer
to your heart :). Battery life is better, and phone is a bit lighter
than 6210. A plus from 6210 are also: countdown timer, to do list,
bloototh, gprs, voice recorder. You can add voice to profiles now,
so you can change the profiles quicker than pressing the button
on top of the phone. Profiles are also timed. It's true that i would
like a 7210 with color screen and more gaming experience (sometimes
i have to wait, and having kewl games on mobile is a fun way to
make time go by) but 6310i is an excelent phone. I expect it to
freeze some times, i got used to this from 6210 which freezed randomly
(didn't like to be hold in tight places i guess) but there will
be no problem. Hope this helps! Happy buying :) Rating:

get a landline installed. This means no internet - that's where
the Nokia comes in!) The other features are also great. I do not
use it with a carckit though. Recommended for a wide range of features
in the Nokia brand. Rating:

Having had many Nokia phones this 6310i is the best so far My only
gripe is that it is advertised as being suitable for use with Cark-91
in car kit as supplied for 6210 etc but unfortunately the software
conflicts with the car kit, despit having a software upgrade through
Nokia it is still not as good as a 6210 in the car kit, However
by having the cark-91 carkit wired through the car stereo (with
the appropriate relay) I have found it to be acceptable if not the
best- Good Phone, easy to use, lightweight. Rating:
