This is a lovely phone, it feels nice, is lovely to use with a bigger keypad that suits male fingers, it feels very well made, the screen is lovely too, but the battery life is absolutely rubbish, Nokia quote up to 16 days, well the only way you'd get that is if you left the phone permanently plugged in to the mains supply or had a very high capacity battery, this phone on the flight profile that can't receive a signal lasts 60 hours, & mines only 2 months old, use it on standby on an ordinary profile, you get 2 days & if you dare use the phone barely a day, which is very disappointing, but other than that, it's great.

As many have said this is a great basis phone that does all the things I want it to. I have one as a work phone & have a fixed handsfree kit installed so I purchased my own for personal use.

Yes the battery lasts ages & it is very tactile. Texting a doddle & build quality excellent. I agree get a micro SD card & your away.

Well done Nokia for still making it.

Well I bought this phone mainly for its good looks & big buttons, also because I didn't want a camera on a phone, if I want to take pictures I'll use my SLR, & also camera phones aren't permitted where I work, this phone is typical of Nokia's in that it's easy to use, looks great & texting is a dream, most phones seem to be designed for female fingers with their silly small buttons, so if you have big digits, try this it works brilliantly as well & appears very well made, although the battery life is rather poor, but you can't have everything, can you?

Been a gadget freak for years always wanting the best kit available, but after having several phones where I used only a fraction of the functions I've gone full circle & got the 3109, mainly based on the reviews on here. What can I say? Does everything I want quickly & with little fuss. The menus are clear, the buttons are big & clear, Nokia's menus are simple to understand, calls are clear, texting is easy, MP3 player is more than adequate, the phone is light & stylish. It's perfect in every way.

I like the phone, it's easy to use but I spend a lot of time in the car & I am really sick of the problems I have with the Bluetooth connection to my car!

I am on my second phone & being pushed to trial a Blackberry to see if it's the phone or the car that's at fault. It's the phone!

Often it does not pick up the connection when it should pair to the car but more often it drops the connection once a call is connected. I have to kill calls every day & repair the phone to the car. Frustrating!

Great simple phone for most of your needs. The buttons are the biggest I've ever seen which makes texting a doddle if you have man sized fingers. No camera but who wants to take grainy pictures you do little with anyway, that's what my digital camera was bought for.

PS, the calculator is brilliant following on from an earlier comment, more features than ever before or just use the star key for plus & minus etc for speed.

I was offered the latest Samsung, smart mirror faced phone, but after one week I had slung it in the back of the drawer! Fortunately read the peace of mind refund & went back after 12 days at got a Nokia. I have been with Nokia phone for seven years, nothing will entice me away again. I do not need a camera, have a really slick one that works beautifully with my computer, I just wanted a phone I understood, Apparently Nokia patented all the features all that time ago, so I will never find a phone that suits me like it does. Sometimes you just need to stick with what you have got & enjoy! Not mad on the grey, but it's the only compromise in my view.

This phone was provided by my employer & in 2 months I am on my second one. Both myself & colleagues who have the same model are having great difficulty using the blue tooth provided. We all sound like Norman Collier when on the move! I have been told that there isn't a fixed hard wired hands free kit which is compatible either so I am reduced to communicating via speckled Jim, the pigeon.

Like the phone but the only downside is that in ext edit mode there is a very iterating dark background which makes the cursor invisible. Also finding the calculator is a trial. Otherwise not too bad but would recommend it for frequent texter's.

This phone is slim, light & easy to use, with nice big buttons & most things that are needed for a basic work phone (organiser, Bluetooth, good battery life).It would have been nice if it had a camera but this was provided by work so I didn't get a choice (the next model up has one, Nokia3110), as you could use it for insurance claims if you're in a car accident, I keep a cheapo digital camera in my car just in case.

This handy phone is easy to use & features a very clear screen which is a good size. The different options available on this phone are simple to use & you will quickly come to enjoy this reliable phone.

It features Bluetooth & a decent Media Player. This makes it ideal for use in the car & allows you to stay legal with a decent headset. I recommend this phone to anyone who wants a reliable phone with no silly bells & whistles.

Well Done Nokia.

Really, really good product for those who wish to get a basic, down-to-earth phone, that doesn't give you hassle. The best thing is no camera, to ensure lots & lots of speed when wanting to carry out a process. Only down side is that it is thin & slim compared to my N80 (which is atrocious), so I don't know when it's in my pocket all the time=headache!

Top phone!
