Nokia 3300

The Nokia 3300 makes it clear what it wants to be used for - games, music and, if needs must, the occasional call.

Looking more like a games console than a mobile phone, it has a built-in MP3 player and comes with a 64Mb memory card. This is enough to hold around an album's worth of music at high quality, but you may want to buy a bigger card if you listen to a lot of music.

Music is transferred to the phone from a PC using the provided USB cable. When you tire of your own music, you can simply switch to the FM radio.

Where the 3300 really comes into its own is as a games console. Games are available for download but the four that come as standard will really show what the phone is capable of.

Making a phone call is no problem, as the phone uses Nokia's tried and tested interface, which is very intuitive. Battery life also impressed us, managing to take a full weekend of calls without a single recharge.

The 3300 isn't as good as the best MP3 players on the market, neither is it a GameBoy Advance, but as a hybrid of the two with a dose of hi-tech space-age styling to boot, it's difficult to beat.
