Impressions
The volume of 64-chord ring tones is far above average - your 3110 Classic won't pass unnoticed in any environment, even in subway. The vibro alert takes a back seat in this case (if you will miss a call probably only while in closed headphones), even though it is quite good. The 3110 Classic delivers good call quality, just like any other latest-gen phone, however it could use some more volume for the earpiece, as in call-unfriendly environments you may well experience some problems.

The model retails for around 210 USD (150 Euro) these days, and looking at the offerings it competes with, the Nokia 3110 Classic is pretty much overpriced even when it has been available for some time. Although, it boasts a number of distinctive touches - no-frills looks, pocketable dimensions and decent ergonomics in particular.

This phone will appeal to those seeking an unsophisticated handset for calls or a secondary device (and having no shortage of money at that). The 3109 and the 3110 Classic are behind Sony Ericsson?s solutions as far as the younger audience is considered (for lacking Java multitasking), and they are not style-conscious devices as opposed to the Motorola L9 and the Samsung E200. But nevertheless, these two are still pretty capable calling, ringing and buzzing devices.
