Yep, I've got one.

It's pretty good, I used to have an 8210 (thankfully a reliable one!) but got bored of every man and his dog having one.
Also, I found the 8210 to be a little too small - on many an occasion I'd be running around like a headless chicken thinking that I'd lost my phone when all the time it'd been in my pocket.

The 6310 is quite a bit larger - IMO just the right size. I'm pretty pleased with mine but am yet to use all of the gadgets. Reception is good (although I'm still concerned that my brain is being fried every time I use a mobile) and battery life is excellent (I think it can last for about a week without having to be recharged).

I bought mine for £100 at The Phone Store (may be Phone Shop) on a Vodafone tariff (150 free minutes anytime, 50 free text messages £14 per month).

The fact that the 6310 now comes as standard with every Merc CL500 says it all really!

How about an 8310?

Upgrading my 8210 to a 8310 Monday or Tuesday...nice phones
Nothing wrong with my 8210 just want the later phone!

Thought the 6210 was rubbish(had one for 2weeks)think the 6310 is a newer version of that?

I wouldn't recommend you get an 8310 just yet - they're having all sorts of problems from what I've heard, from reception being appalling to battery life being crap.

These may just be rumours though?!

My mates with 8310's have had no problems at all. Same battery as 8210 and similar antenna system.
If you spend all day listening the the radio thro' your phone then the battery aint gonna last long. But who does that?

Size wise both the 8210 & 8310 are great, who wants a brick in their pocket? Must admit, I've gone back back home many times 'cos I left the phone at home...only to realise it was in my pocket all the time...doh!

If you get a phone on contract and don't like it you can take it back within 14days for a refund!

And £100 is way too much for a contract 6310 phone...
Try one of the ads in the back of the national newspapers, or the online ones. Most contract phones can be had for free + freebies!
[example: 8310 from Orange shop/carphone warehouse etc £149, from Clubmobile.co.uk = free/£49 or £79 depending on which contract+freebies]

Thanks for the reply I have a 6210 at the moment and probably should'nt change as it has been super reliable. I fancy the 6310 because it is triple band and as I go to the states quite a lot it will be handy. It will also work with all the accessories i.e car kit etc


Once again thanks for the advice I am going to have a look at one tomorrow but thought I would ask on here first

Mike,
If you've got a 6210 now and are happy with it then you will like the 6310 as its very similar.

Good luck...and shop around for the best price.

I've got one - its pretty good. A nice size and full of features. Unfortunately its a compnay phone and they haven't sorted out integrating GPRS into our phone system...hopefully soon....!

The only one I would change it for is the Ericsson T68, but too me it was a bot too small...

Cheers

6310 is a good bit of kit.. Remember only the 6310i is tri-band.

Having had nokia's all my life I (and Lisa) recently switched to a T68.

Connecting to the net via bluetooth and GPRS is an eye-opener.

I am dead impressed with the T68's plus also the Orange network.

tweenierob

got an 8310 was great at first got a radio and speech recorder but gonna go and upgrade to a t68 this week, they are on special at all c/warehouse and phones for u, £99. gonna get an erricson and sell the nokia. not had any problems at all with the phone but colour screen is the way to go!!!
p.s. the 8310 is the b*ll**ks for use as a torch!!! seriously!
Anyone on PAYG wanna buy a 8310??

WREXY

Does the Ericsson T68 receive the same pic messages that the Nokia phones receive?

Cheers,

I have one and its pretty good with a few good features.

I didn't like the 8210 due to the small numbers and the screen kept failing (still got it if someone wants a spare battery, standard blue casing, etc).

The main decider was there only seems to be a full hand free car kit for this model (at the time)and nothing for the Siemens one I wanted....not only that its a works phone so i get given what they tell me
