Summary: Good phone for the buck
Review: A little bulky and missing some modern features, but if you are looking for cheap, but very well build phone to talk and long battery run - this is the item to buy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Functional Not Fancy Cell - Phone
Review: After six months of use, I've been quite satisfied with the Nokia 3390 on T-Mobile service on the East Coast. While hardly-cutting edge in terms of technology, the phone covers the basics for communicating pretty well. The reception, even at moderate to weak signal, is crisp and clear. The ringer tone doesn't sing polyphonic songs, but is loud enough to carry through a book bag or heavy jacket. The buttons are well-placed. The menus are pretty easy to use. The backlight display panel won't light up the room like some of the newer Nokia models, but gets the job done for night-time dialing.

The batteries last two to three days, but could be longer. Don't expect a lot from the other features. The calculator is pretty hard to use. One complaint is the clock, which shuts down each time the phone is turned off. In some areas, the regional signal sets the time when the phone is turned on, but not in other places. Not having accurate time on the phone can be a hassel while trying to figure out when missed calls were received.

It's a plain, simple phone, nothing more.

Summary: Great phone for the basic user
Review: Although this phone lacks on the modern technology stuff, it is a great durable, user-friendly phone. It is so easy to use and cost efficient. I have actually done everything to this phone such as dropping it on hard floors and in water but it is still operatable. I have had my phone for almost 2 yrs and I am about to upgrade but I will still keep it as a back-up. Has no color or camera but you can still download ring tones, instant message, send text messages, and play games! I recommend this phone for people who just want to make and receive calls and who is afraid of all the hi-tech phones!!

Summary: A good phone
Review: I have had this phone for about a year now. I think it is a very durable phone and is not a nusance. I have dropped it many times, and even in water. It has not broken at all and it works very well. I like a lot of the features- but it is very basic. It works well for me, and is a simple phone.

Summary: I wish I still had it....
Review: I recently traded in my 3390 for a Samsung x105. I got rid of it because the battery was dying and I wanted to try out some of the new technology. My Nokia, though 3 years older, compares quite favorably to my new one. I rarely missed a phone call due to the non-polyphonic ring tones. The sound normally stuck out so I could often hear it upstairs and over a blaring radio. The vibration feature is powerful so I always felt it. Overall, it was simple to use and practical. Newer phones often have so many useless features, that it actually takes away from the phone. I miss this phone. Aside from the dying battery, I have no major complaints about the 3390.

I'm definitely looking to buy another Nokia in the future. Hopefully it will live up to the same standard.

Summary: Functional Not Fancy Cell - Phone
Review: I used to switch cel phones in order to keep up with technology. Crazy screens and crazy features. I always made fun of my (then) fiancee for her nokia. Also, I hated the nokia ring. You know the one I'm talking about. Because of that I hated all nokia phones. Then we got married...

To save money, I needed a plan that offered shared minutes and because of my job, I needed something with flex in the contract (I wasn't going to sign anything for TWO years!). I had comparison shopped everywhere between brands. It was a pretty easy choice when that came down to it. But. The phone itself required the following from me:
-Text Messaging
-Stupid Addicting Games
-Ability to personalize rings
-Ability to personalize display screen
-Hands-Free hook-up
-One number dial

I got all of the above in the Nokia 3390. Plus I found myself surrounded by numerous faceplates, keypads and lights to choose from.

I was weary of the design. I always had flip-phones before. They always protected me from those embarassing accidental calls when you put the phone in your pocket. Nokia has an easy way to get to the key lock: menu + "*".

The predictable text in the text messaging part is amazing. Leaps above other PT I have used in the past.

Battery lasts a few days before charging.

But the best of all: When I break it, parts are VERY easy to get. My wife smashed her display. I immediately had a new screen. The aftermarket parts are plenty, but be careful...I remember reading that a woman's hair caught fire because she dropped her phone that had an aftermarket battery!

Summary: A good phone with enough to offer
Review: Iv'e had this phone for a little over a year now and only recently have iv'e been getting problems with it. The problems are when your in a call the phone will just hang up or all of a sudden get a bad echo which gets irritating. I probably cause the problems though after countless droppings, getting stepped on and much more. The phone works great has games for those who plays them, has IM for when you want to text somebody. So yea it has a little more than the essentials of a phone. You can customize it by changing faceplates or even downloading a tone or two. So yea I do recomend it if you want a phone that you dont want to worry bout getting a hit or two like these new color screen phones. I really dont know why you want a phone to half the stuff that they do and there so fragile I already know three people who broke the screen on those phones and in my opinion are just more trouble than there worth. STAY WITH THE BASICS YOU'LL LIKE THIS PHONE!!!
