The tri-band (900/1800/1900) Nokia 3110 is meant to be a cheap, standard free Series 40 phone that T-mobile loves to give away by the truckload. It’s not half bad though.
Nokia’s low-tier line of phones is definitely starting to look better: the 3110 has expandable memory, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and it looks decent too! It also supports expandable memory (microSD).
Connectivity-wise, we’ve got the default: Bluetooth, infra-red, and USB.
Included with the 3110 is a BL-5C battery, which is rated at 1020 mAh and provides enough talk time for up to 4 hours. Doesn’t it seem a little odd that such an underpowered phone uses an overpowered battery?

Finding it difficult if not quite impossible to use even at basic level
