A convenient mobile phone from Nokia, which was born in the summer of 1999 in Finland.

A very nice design, fairly good quality, the ability to make calls and send messages literally anywhere brought the phone widespread. Belongs to the budget class.
Phone presentation
The gadget consists of a monoblock, dual-band. Equipped with a monochrome screen with a resolution of 84 by 48 pixels. Its size, in comparison with modern devices, is simply scanty, but at that time it was also a wonder. There are enough buttons, they are massive and easy to use. Akkumulators Nokia 3210 (Ni-Mh type) offers a capacity of 1250 mAh, which allows you to talk on the phone without interruption for up to five hours. In standby mode, the battery lasts about 5-10 days.
Nokia 3210 is the first mobile phone with a built-in antenna. Despite this, the reception is good enough. The channel is standard - GSM 900/1800, there is a built-in modem.
Since this is one of the first models of Nokia phones, there can be no talk of any Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or camera. The Nokia 3210 has only one standard size SIM card slot.
Appearance
Excellent, neat design of the case, material - plastic. A wide range of colors of removable panels, various shapes of buttons allow you to quickly change the appearance. At first glance, the phone seems fat and uncomfortable. This is not true. The model is neat and stylish. It fits well in the hand, the rounded corners of the case add comfort and convenience.
The phone is 123.8 mm long and 50.5 mm wide. But the thickness along the body changes: in the area of the buttons is 16.7 mm, the area where the screen is located is slightly larger - 22.5 mm. The device weighs 153 grams. For its large dimensions, the phone has received the playful nickname "nutcracker".
An outlet for a headset and a charging cable is located at the bottom of the Nokia 3210. The phone keypad has a yellow-green backlight, an English version of the letters and numbers layout, a menu button on the screen, a joystick with two arrows and a reset key.
At the top of the device there is a phone on / off button. On the side panels there are special fastening puzzles. The microphone is located on the bottom of the device. This arrangement ensures excellent audibility of the subscriber at the other end of the line, despite the noisy environment.
Additional features
On the keyboard there are buttons for adjusting the menu in the form of arrows and for selecting or canceling an action. The manufacturer offers a lot of different postcards that can be sent to the subscriber in messages, and the user will also be pleased with the Nokia 3210 theme editing program. Unlike modern phones, there is an interesting feature called "Call cost display mode". The choice of the network can be set in two ways "arbitrary" and "automatic".
To be fair, the 3210 has a very handy calculator. The peculiarity of the device is that even for a long time it is not blocked and shows all the entered numbers. The mobile phone quickly became popular thanks to its games - Memory, Snake, Rotation. There are several ringtones in the phone menu, they are standard, so you can not dream of a good sound.

The device is quite simple to use, a person of any age can easily understand the settings, controls and functions. The menu is Russified. There is an accelerated text entry (T9 dictionary). However, when writing messages, some inconveniences may arise: since the keyboard alphabet is only in English, Russian letters are displayed on the screen when the corresponding button is pressed. The graphic LCD display accommodates 4 lines of text, 13 characters each, and at the top there is information about the level of the communication signal and the battery charge.
How do I buy a phone?
It is no longer possible to find this phone model in the free access on the Russian markets, but it is possible to purchase it on the Internet from hands or outside of Russia. There are also many modifications of this device, more advanced. Today it is difficult to track the cost of Nokia 3210, since it was officially withdrawn from sale several years ago.

Nokia 3210 is a dual-band Nokia cell phone released in 1999. The Nokia 3210 was one of the most successful phones in history, with 160 million phones sold.
Description of the structure
Nokia 3210 weighs 153 g. It measures 123.8mm x 50.5mm x 16.7-22.5mm. In addition to ten numeric (0-9) keys, keys "*" and "#", it also has four functional - reset (cancel, exit to the upper menu level), keys "forward" and "back", as well as "home" a large key (used to open a menu, select items, etc.) and at the top of the phone the on / off / profile selection key. In the lower part of the case there are connectors for connecting a battery charger and a headset (or a “hands free” car kit). The panels on the case were removable and were commercially available, which made it possible to change the appearance of the device at home.
Software
There are three games on the phone: "Snake", "Memory" (guess the paired pictures), and "Rotation". Thanks to these games, the 3210 very quickly became popular among young people. Some of its versions included 2 "hidden" games "Reaction" (React) and "Logic" (Logic), which were opened using special software through a cable connecting the phone to the computer.
The Nokia 3210 was one of the first mobile phones with a built-in antenna. This was a big advantage because no one liked the big, sticky, ugly antenna. Signal reception, although slightly weaker than that of its predecessor Nokia 3110, is still good enough.
Pictures-postcards built into telephones for exchange between subscribers via SMS-messages. For example, a picture of a cake with candles.
This phone was competitively priced and targeted at young people. It was released at a time when only a few young people had mobile phones and mainly adults and business people used mobile phones.
The 3210 was originally designed with vibrating alert, but Nokia has decided not to implement this feature on some models in several regions. Nevertheless, a few months after the start of sales, some repair shops began to offer to install the missing function of the vibration alert for a small fee.

TFT (Thin Film Transistor) - Liquid crystal displays based on active matrix thin film transistors. There are three transistors for each pixel, corresponding to three colors (RGB - red, green, blue). At the moment, these are the most common displays and have a number of advantages over other displays. They are distinguished by the shortest response time and the rapid development - an ever-increasing resolution and number of colors. These displays are most common in mid-range phones and above. Working resolutions for them: 128x160, 132x176, 176x208, 176x220, 240x320 and others, less common. Examples: Nokia N73 (240x320, 262 thousand colors), Sony Ericsson K750i (176x220, 262 thousand colors), Samsung D900 (240x320, 262 thousand colors). TFTs are rarely used as external displays for clamshells.
CSTN (Color Super Twisted Nematic) - Color passive matrix liquid crystal displays. Each pixel of such a display consists of three combined pixels, which correspond to three colors (RGB). Some time ago, almost all phones with color displays were based on exactly this type. And now the lot of such displays is budget models. The main disadvantage of such displays is their slowness. The undoubted advantage of such displays is their cost, which is much lower than TFT. Based on simple logic, it can be assumed that in the future TFT will oust this type of displays from the market of mobile devices. The color evolution of such displays is quite extensive: from 16 to 65536 colors. Examples: Motorola V177 (128x160, 65 thousand colors), Sony Ericsson J100i (96x64, 65 thousand colors), Nokia 2310 (96x68, 65 thousand colors).
UFB (Ultra Fine and Bright) - Liquid crystal displays with increased brightness and contrast on a passive matrix. We can say that this is an intermediate option between CSTN and TFT. This type of display boasts lower power consumption compared to TFT. For the most part, such displays were used by Samsung in mid-range phones. This type of display is not widely used. Examples: Samsung C100 / 110 (128x128, 65 thousand colors).
TN is a type of TFT display matrix. Roughly speaking, TN is the simplest and cheapest TFT matrix. The viewing angles are the narrowest.
Alexander1:Phone SUPER! He learned it so much that already taking out of his pants pocket
already typed any necessary menu item with the keys, even calmly
dialed the call number without errors.
Now, in 2017, I want to buy it again in the form of a time machine, because
an indecent amount of pleasant moments associated with him 2005-summer)
Highscreen tasty :
Svetlana:Stylish, handy smartphone with a good camera and a nice metal body. The battery is not very capacious, but I do not load the phone especially, it lasts for a day and a half. Very bright screen, you can even read it calmly. Lte, 2 sim cards, a confident signal even in a village near Tula, where he usually catches in only one place, and on the stairs and with an outstretched hand. The camera is ordinary, the pictures on the screen seem brighter and richer than when you drop them on a computer. If someone prints pictures from a smart, they will need to be slightly processed in Photoshop for brightness. I took it for a promotion in an official store, for the price at which I got it, smart smart.
Highscreen power ice :
Ekaterina:A very successful model for such a cost, both externally and in terms of filling. Firstly, it has a beautiful design, it is comfortable to hold in the hand, and has a fairly durable body. Secondly, it works well: I easily use all applications, quickly find 3G, LTE, wi-fi. I like the camera too. I thought that 8 megapixels would not be enough for clear pictures. For a surprisingly long time, the phone goes without charging, considering how much time I spend on social networks, listening to music and constantly using applications. I just charge it no more than once every 2 days. Plus a good amount of memory. I often download something and while I am saving up pictures on the device. In general, a very convenient and inexpensive phone. I am pleased to recommend using
Highscreen Power Five EVO :
Igor:The biggest plus of this device is the battery. It may not even be so much the battery as the balance, so to speak. I charge it every 3-4 days, while this did not particularly affect the design, it is quite decent, not a brick or a shovel. Not the most powerful percentage, but nevertheless it does not freeze, there are no problems with the installation of toy applications and any other little things necessary for work and entertainment, everything pulls with a bang. Surprisingly decent main camera, the front camera is not ice. The loudspeaker does not wheeze, the interlocutor is heard well, the sound in the headphones is quite normal. Great option for the price.
Dmitriy:A good smartphone for a good price, the battery lasts a long time, the camera shoots with high quality, the processor with the operative pulls most games.
Highscreen Boost 3 Pro :
Matvey:Sound is a bomb! I took it because of the sound and battery, the rest is not critical to me, the main thing is that it calls, does not bug and was not clogged with all kinds of junk in view of unnecessary applications. I go with a small battery for 2 days, a big one can be safely taken on a weekend trip where there are no outlets. Well assembled, does not creak anywhere, the lid does not lag behind, the charging socket is also strong (in principle, no wonder, I charge it infrequently). The camera is average, it will do for amateur photos, the text can also be viewed, for everything else I have a DSLR. The Internet does not slow down, the application pulls calmly, but I have not tried it on heavy games. The manufacturers are great for not putting the headphones in the kit, with cheap plugs for 150 re there will be no sound, you need good headphones like senheiser or fisher, otherwise you will not feel the mega sound or appreciate the chip.
Nokia 3210 phone
This entry-level unit has several nice features, one of which is the large number of interchangeable front panels. There are more than a dozen panels in various colors and key shapes. Also in terms of settings, I am extremely pleased with the ability to record your own melody using the built-in editor. All melodies are recorded in text form. You can take a large number of tunes.
There are also a large number of accessories for this model.
The disadvantages of this model include the low sensitivity of the phone in areas with poor reception. Also in the European version of the phone there is no vibration alert (there is in the Asian one). Accelerated text input works only with English, this function is not workable for Russian.
In any case, this phone acts as an entry-level model and satisfies most of the needs of the average user.
