The small B/W LCD screen meant the battery would last a long time. My latest PDA phone has a large colour display and the battery runs out every day. The 3310 needed charging only once every 5 days. There's loads of extras that could be added to the firmware.

Maybe after, say 10 years, we wont have phones with keypad. All of them would be with full touch screens and when kids see our old phones, i think they will go crazy. You are right, the same way we have vintage cars, we will have vintage and 'old school' phones someday! So sorry, My heart felt condolenses to your old nokia! ;)

I had it for about 7 years, it died recently and though my new Samsung seems fancy I miss the strength and reliability of the Nokia. My boyfriend still uses his old 3310 and the other day when he answered his phone in the street I noticed two boys about 12 years old staring at the phone, I could see them thinking "old school" and to my surprise they looked really approving. I have a feeling they are about to get popular as a retro item, and just as mine is about to be recycled too. And seriously thanks for suggesting a way to recycle old phones, no phone should end up in the bin when there are so many ways of putting them to good use.

Never tried the BMC-3 for this phone, and 7-8 days of backup is awesome. Then I dont have to carry around the charger when I travel. Well, take it like a vintage car, it takes more fuel, but its something unique and valuable.. :) Regarding the 3315, it was supposed to be a successor of 3310, but I dont think it came any close.

Now I have the BLC-2 Li Ion (the "slim" type) that has given me nothing but trouble (it didn't charge at first; then I read on the internet about resetting the software, so after pulling that off it charges, but the charge stays for 4 days only). I don't want to mess up the hardware & stuff because it's my first phone as well. BTW what's the battery type you're using? About the 3315, it's got more features than our trusty 3310... but I don't like the design (you can fit a 3310 housing onto it, however) I used to get 7-8 days’ standby time (!) with the BMC-3 battery (the “fat” battery type; again not genuine).

I had a Nokia 1100 back in 2002, I had to loose it too, but this one, its still in my pocket...

I havent touched the hardware because I am afraid I will mess up with it. its my first phone and I cant afford to loose it. But the idea is cool, and its easy to get another Nokia 3310, will try that out sometime :) In my opinion, a 3 day standby time is good on that battery, btw I dont believe in a genuine battery anymore, the battery I had in my Nokia 7610 started growing in size and I had to replace it with a local made battery, after which everything is allright!

Well, I personally owned the good old Nokia 3315 till sometime back. I love it. Ultra-simple interface and does the job ! Great.
