Hi all
We're thinking of getting my Mum a phone for her birthday, and it HAS to be a Nokia, have a long battery life and be basic. No colour screen is required but poly tones would be nice.
I was going to put forward the 3510i and the 3100. The 2100 would have been ok but it only has a 150hour battery :(
So i was wondering, anyone who owns the 3100 (bunnyone inparticular), how is the battery for you?
I need to know roughly how long it lasts with a full charge with minimal use, with no use and with average use, or just one of those if possible.
Thanks guys, much appricated. :)

Daedalus im afraid i cant comment on the no use bit because my daughter is on o2 GPRS quite a lot of the time.
So i would say if she uses the GPRS for an average of 1 hour a day, sends about four or five text messages a day and just generally playing with the settings plus about thirty mins of calls a full battery would last about five days.
I find the battery on this to be excellent, much better than the 2100 which a friend of mine has and only lasts 3 days on average.
Plus i bought it for her or £125 sim free which i think is a really good price for this handset.
Hope this helps.

hmm, try either the Siemens MC60 (built in camera for only £99.99) or the Sony Ericsson T310 (Conveniently, this months prize :) )
