Nokia is one of the most prolific designers and manufacturers of mobile handsets around today and has one distinct advantage over the competition – it has a wide range of handsets available so everyone can find one to suit them! There is no focusing on one feature throughout the range and all handsets are user friendly. A prime example of just how user friendly a Nokia phone can be is the Nokia 3120. One of the latest releases from the mobile phone giant, the Nokia 3120 embodies the user friendly maxim, but just what cold it offer you?

The first thing that the Nokia 3120 offers is a highly fashionable and rather different appeal than you may be used to. Take the colouring of the casing for example. The compact little phone only comes in pale beige and soft blue. There is no black option at all, although you can change the colour by purchasing the Nokia Xpress-on Cover. On paper this colour scheme might not appeal to everyone but if you actually look at the phone then you will see why so many people choose it! The proportions of the phone are also irresistible because it is easy to handle and easy to use.

The menus and navigation of the Nokia 3120 provide the first of many nice touches. The buttons are well spaced and the menus are really easy to navigate. The Nokia 3120 has the usual Nokia menu layout so if you have used one of their models before then you will have no problems getting to grips with this. Even if you have yet to use one then it will only take a few moments to figure it out.

There are other nice touches available with the Nokia 3120. For example, there is an automatic redial feature that will automatically redial a number for you up to ten times if it is engaged the first time. There is also a function that will allow you to send an image and an audio clip within an SMS message so you do not have to send them separately. This is very easy to use because the phone effectively does all the work for you. Finally, there is the optional extra of a fun camera. You can choose to have or omit this particular feature but at least the option is there. Many similar handsets do not give you that option.

The Nokia 3120 is described as a mid-range phone, thus giving you the impression that you should not expect too much. This is reinforced by the fact that there are quite a few niggles. Although the phone is incredibly user friendly, it does not have all the features that we come to expect of a mobile phone these days. There is no music player or even a radio on the Nokia 3120's feature list. Although a camera can be added to the phone, it really is just what it says it is – a fun camera. It does not really take great photos and has none of the extras expected, such as a zoom or flash. Also, you have to pay for the camera to be added on so it does not come as standard.

The final niggle is the paltry 4MB memory. There is no slot to expand it either, but then you probably will not need to given the fact that the camera is an optional extra. As such, the Nokia 3120 is a good phone if you just want a stylish handset to make calls and send texts. If you do not expect too much then this will be perfect for you!
