This new edition to Nokia’s range is virtually a jazzed-up model of the 8210; although Nokia has managed to incorporate a WAP 1.2.1browser, voice recorder, stopwatch, countdown alarm as well as GPRS, HSCSD and this catchy radio with dual headset to the 8310 edition.

In addition to the phones SIM capacity, the 8310 can memorise 250 names and numbers, supports voice-activated dialling, voice command, voice recording, data communication from a laptop via Infrared, diary, notebook, calculator, 40 ringtones, T9 predictive texting plus the all-important built-in games.

As consumers have the choice of nine interchangeable fascias, an integrated FM radio and the benefit of GPRS for the first time from a Nokia mobile, the Nokia 8310 is definitely a fashion accessory for people wanting to be one-step-ahead of the rest, as well as having high-speed access to mobile services.
