The world is dynamic, so do the things that are happening in the world are subject to change. Nothing is constant in the world except the change. Old things are replacing by the new things, successors are replacing by the predecessors, old inventions are replacing by the new inventions and so does the technology. But, still the fact is that "old is gold." The technology discovered in the past has provided the platform for the future invention of the products and also become the reason for the evolution of the technology itself.

This phone incorporates Nokia's trademark menu system and Graphical user interface that make its use very simple and easy.

Some people really have love for the old stuff. That is the reason antiques cost you more than anything in the world, same is the case with the assessment of the mobile phones. The evaluation criterion for any handset is the reliability. Nokia 8310 is much reliable and durable handset than the newest handsets as they are too much delicate, and it is quite difficult to handle them. The battery timing is another dimension on which people evaluate the phone. The major problem associated with most of the new handsets is the less battery timing as compared to the older mobile phones like Nokia 8310 who offers the battery timing of 100-400 hours of standby and approximately 4 hours of talk time.
