Nokia is targeting the youth market with its latest handset. Unfortunately, the 3100 falls short when it comes to call quality.The 3100 sports a slimmed-down design; it resembles other Nokia phones after going on the Atkins diet. At 1.69 by 4 by 0.6 inches and weighing 3 ounces, it won't appear too bulky in a front shirt pocket.

The power button located on top of the handset is easier to press than the ones typically found on other Nokia mobiles, which is a plus. Our model came with a blue case, but you can choose from several Xpress-on cover plates, including a pair of luminescent "gaming" faces with an eight-way navigation key and blinking light effects. It's not exactly something you'd want to whip out during a business meeting, but younger users may appreciate it.
