They're practically a design classic now! I don't think they're sold new in the UK any more, the 3410 is still carrying on I think, but 3310/30s are only really on the secondhand market.
They're also one of the easiest phones to repair, take the xpress on facia off, remove 6 screws, and you've got access to most of the phone's innards! And a modular design, so if your vibra motor fails, simply slip the old one out and pop in the new one!

That model is too old in my turf, as you can just see those being used in retail stores as - 'calculators' !

Its got one of the best usable design. It fits the hand perfectly. Very very usable and menus are as fast as it can get. With short cut keys you can reach most of the phone within a second and that too without looking at the screen. The phone can be used very roughly and can take any dirt and grime.

3310 was my last phone and believe me it was truly durable and reliable  i once threw my 3310 straight across the road (by mistake of course  i forgot it was in my hand i was trying to catch a falling bike) Another bike ran over it and yet there were only a few minor scratches
It still sells quite well in these parts

In fact I'm just about to recieve two 3310s that need new screens, going to fix them up with blue LCDs and some nice facias and either sell them, maybe keep one for old time's sake? Though I could also do with the money....

3315's are still in Australia. Around $90 on Prepaid, and $10plan with the phone for free.
3310 changed the way people see and use mobiles. 5110 tried, but with the release of the 3310, I really think, the mobile world changed.

Both my girlfriend an i had terrible problems with 3310..
Her powerbutton quit after like ten days, and both phones developed a habit of lasting forever on standby, but after a one-minute call it would beep low battery warning and shut down immediately after. When restarted, battery meter would again show almost full, and standby was several days 
I sold mine and moved up to the excellent 6210, and she turned hers in for repair three times more until she finally got a new replacement one. I would say itīs not ALL 3310īs that were good cheap performers

Though I never had the honour of using this model. It, I believe, is THE most stable and fast mobile phone ever. I remember the T630 review on mobile-review had mentioned ....while it isn't as quick or stable as a nokia 3330, it is however.....

Quick and stable.. well quick, yes but stable? Well the software in itself is undoubtedly stable, but apart from my experiences in previous post everybody i know who had one, had battery quirks of some kind. Whether it was the battery itself or the connection to the circuitboard in the phone, i donīt know..
Iīd prefer to say stable, but unreliable, even if it is a contradiction in terms
