Nokia 3510 was released in the year 2002 and has now been discontinued, but it was a groundbreaking device when it was launched. The device, also known as the Nokia 3510, has a compact size and a simplistic design, yet its functionality and features have withstood the test of time. The manufacturer, Nokia, has been a well-known name in the world of mobile phones, and with the Nokia 3510, they have once again outdone themselves.
The Nokia 3510 is specially designed to cater to the everyday needs of its users. It comes with a built-in country-dependent language setting to cater to a wider range of audience- a feature that is not usually found in other devices. With the phone book memory, the Nokia 3510 can store up to 500 contacts, making it an ideal choice for those with a busy schedule. The phone also allows users to store up to 20 dialed, 10 received, and 10 missed calls, ensuring that they never miss an important update or meeting.
The Nokia 3510 is not only designed to be functional, but it also boasts impressive durability. The body of the device is made of high-quality materials, making it lightweight at 105g and highly portable. With dimensions of 118 x 42-50 x 18-21 mm and a capacity of 98 cc, it easily slides into pockets and bags without adding any bulk. The device has a mini-SIM slot and supports Class 4 GPRS technology, ensuring a stable and reliable network connection.
Despite its compact design, the Nokia 3510 is equipped with an impressive display. The monochrome graphic display has a unique feature - dynamic font size which allows users to adjust the font according to their preference. With a resolution of 5 lines, users can view messages and other content with ease. Along with the dynamic font size, the device also comes with six ringtone levels, ensuring that users never miss a call even in noisy environments.
Although being a basic phone, the Nokia 3510 comes with some essential features. It is equipped with a robust 950 mAh removable Li-Ion battery that provides a standby time of up to 13 days. Also, the talk time can range from 2 hours and 30 minutes up to 4 hours and 30 minutes. The device also has an alarm clock and clock for time management, making it an ideal choice for professionals and students.
The Nokia 3510 is designed to cater to the entertainment needs of its users as well. It comes with five pre-installed games - Kart Racing, Bumper, Space Impact 2, Dance2Music, and Link5. Users can also download game packs via WAP, adding to the entertainment value of the device. It also has a vibration feature and downloadable polyphonic, monophonic ringtones, ensuring that users can personalize their device according to their preference.
The Nokia 3510 does not come with a camera, which might be a downside for some users. However, it did not affect its market value as other features of the device make up for it. It also does not have a 3.5mm jack or a loudspeaker, but these features were not a priority when the device was released.
In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 3510 comes with USB, WLAN, radio, and Bluetooth features. Despite not having these features, it did not affect the device's functionality as internet access was not as widespread as it is now. The browser is limited to WAP 1.2.1, but it is more than enough for basic browsing needs.
Nokia 3510, with its multi-purpose use and user-friendly features, proved to be a hit among consumers. Its impressive battery life, durable design, and essential features make it an ideal choice for everyday use. Although it is no longer in production, the Nokia 3510 has left a lasting impression in the world of mobile phones.
