Never got the love for the 3310
But then I had a 3210 and that felt far more solidly built by comparison.

The 3310 was the one the cover kept falling off. I have no idea how it got a reputation for build quality.

For example, no "sent items" folder.
Want a record of what you said? Simply write your message, save it as a draft, go to your drafts folder and find and send the message which will then give it a nice little envelope icon. Oh yeah, your phone holds only about a dozen text messages, so you'd better delete some of those drafts if you want your inbox updated.

UK 3210s didn't come with the vibrate motor installed...
I bought one online, installed it (back when opening up mobile 'phones was trivial), built a DIY data cable utilising a pencil eraser and stripboard pins for the proprietary connector and unlocked the hidden menu option...

I much preferred my 6310i
Even if you did have to wedge a bit of paper in it to stop the battery pack falling off

That was the staff phone at Orange when I worked there.
Solid, dependable and they never seemed to develop faults. Unlike the 7210, or anything with Motorola printed on it.
Then there was the Ericsson T68, which in rare cases had a bug where it would stop picking up a signal; the solution was (not kidding) to drop it head first onto a table from about four inches up.
At one point I had a lovely T39 in cream. I wish I’d never sold it.
