Nokia 3128 - User Reviews

  • i want to buy this phone anybody tell from whr

  • cool but whay an outterereial antena

  • The battery of my 3128 got damaged and I'm having a hard time looking for a replacement. I've been searching for almost a year in all of the cellphone stores but have found none up to this time. Could you please inform me if you know a place where I can buy a new battery pack???

  • i have used this cell for 2years its a perfect cell phone.nokia cells are always amazing.it's not difficult to use this cell even if the manual is in chinese.u can c the pic in the manual and use ur common sense and learn about this phone.i wish they make the same phone wit fm and camera.gr8phone:)

  • Oh please give us an ENGLISH manual!!!!! John Hardy

  • hi im planning to buy this phone but don't know if it's really nice.For those people who already have this phone please let me know if this unit is good.thanks

  • I imported one of these from the US and haven't been disappointed really. The size and weight are the biggest pluses, the lack of an English User Manual and the mediocre reception (for Nokia) are the minuses. It is certainly robust and well made (typical Nokia) and would suit the person wanting a small, lightweight phone with no-nonsense features. The Chinese - English dictionary? Just the thing if you get lost in the heart of Chinatown one day!! I would rate it a 7 out of 10.

  • no enlish manual that sucks

  • r u serious that it dosen't have an english manual

  • It is a good phone i used it and I liked it

  • Never seen this one.

  • I enjoyed my Nokia very much but I would like to be able to send easily SMS in French. For this I need to load the French disctionnary on my mobile. Can you someone explain me how to do it ? Thanks

  • It looks just like a samsung fone

  • Hi, has anybody found out how to use the dictionary in the other direction, from chinese to english? Thanks, Michael

  • Iwant this phone in India. Pefect for every usinessman but the only thing missing is Infra-red and Bluetooth. The phone is incomplete without it. So nokia launch new phone with same look and add bluetooth and Infra-red to it. Pls do not add camera to it.

  • please, i beg, can someone please tell me how small this phone is. i cant quite understand the dimension on what is shown. PLS TELL ME HOW SMALL THIS IS THANKYOU.

  • I bought one yesterday (in Shanghai) for 1400 yuan (around USD 150?), and was initially quite pleased. That was until I actually tried to use it. First of all, there's no English manual in the box, and there's none to be found online. It didn't bother me since the "31" lead me to believe that the OS would be the same as for the 3100, my old phone. Well, it's not. This is a phone geared for the Chinese market - and Chinese language users. This means that whereas the display should be able to display more characters on-screen than the 3100, it doesn't. The T9 dictionary is more similar to that used by (sony) Ericsson than on the Nokias I've used before. The keys don't feel as nice as Nokia keys are supposed to (but nowhere as bad as the 3108 or 7110). I'm also slightly worried about the quality of the hinge since it feels cheap. On the plus side, it IS a small phone, has an OK colour screen, good polyphonic sound and actually looks quite nice. I'd probably go for the 3100 instead, which is considerably cheaper (830-860 yuan), and is another contender in the Cheap and Basic phone category - phones which are meant to be used as phones and not as PDAs.

  • Dear user: Where can I get an English manual. Thanks, Sam

  • Is that true that Nokia 3128 hasn't been in fact designed by Nokia and no standard Nokia accessories fit it?

  • when this phone come in Indonesia? it's so cool and i want to buy it.

  • I've paid US$150 in China. And i love this phone.'Cause it's only a phone nothing more. If u want a cam go buy a cam.

  • Hi ppl i like ya... its a handy n simple set n according to my needs. hay but i didnt c dis set in the market.. hay my 3128 ven u vl b in my hands??? tell me sweeto

  • East Europe needs a phone like this too!! it's a cool designed. i wanna buy this 4 my own. how much??

  • did't like design

  • The phone is kinda ok but plz Nokia, what a shame this antenna. I HATE antennas. They suck, sorry but this is the EXACT word. Graphics kinda good but it's a bit too "squary", lol, it should have more round features.

  • Looks like Korean mobile phones. That's a shame for Nokia.

  • nice, sleek phone but the features are useless:-(

  • Well, it sounds quite interesting but now that i've read the users' opinions, i don't know. Some like it totally while others, not at all. The antenne sure is bit annoying but it's goo-looking and light. But WHEN will it be available???????????

  • Hi there. I can see that many of us have bought it in China. So you must have the same problem: the chinese instructions manual. Where can I get the english or better french one? Thanks in advance!

  • $5 or 40yuan can also get you a Chinese-English Dictionary that’s faster than the Nok3128 Dictionary process. There are too many phones that offer more at a cheaper price. Reception is very poor along with the battery life. Just the other day someone tried to steal my phone and I wish they did. You could be sorry if you’re someone who wants to buy it before trying it out.

  • Ferret, I would like to buy one also, could you please tell me about the site that you bought it from ? P.S., If anyone knows any site that selling it right now, please post a link. Thanks in advance.

  • I just bought this phone about a week ago in China and brought it to the US. I needed the dictionary function for my chinese class. I don't know why people hate the antenna, since it's only about a centimeter long. It almost doesn't exist in my pocket. There's no camera, but I don't need one- they have cameras at Wal-Mart for something like five bucks, with better pictures. The one thing that could have been better is the reception. I get 3 out of four bars anywhere around my house, but the person on the other line sounded really faint and metallic, even on high volume. Still, I think it's a good phone, and if you don't feel like spending a ton of cash for something else, you should get it.

  • Sorry, but the only thing going for this phone is the �look�, minus the antenna. Poor design, performance and ergonomics of the phone equals� junk. This phone is specifically designed for the Asia markets alone. So for the rest of the world this phone isn�t for you. Too bad Nokia chose not to use COMMON SENSE when it comes to this phone. Otherwise it would sell well.

  • i think it will be a very nice phone.but why antena again??????is there any beauty in antena?nasty antena.i thnk it will be better than any samsung phone.i hate samsung phones.when this phone will be available in bangladeshi market?

  • does tjis phone have a pop-port? it's a pretty nice phone but it had to have a camera

  • 40 channels poly & no camera is exactly wat i want but no sign of it in msia till now? with mms capability - jest cool. so when will it be in msia????

  • nokia is a clever company and respects :) ~_~ mainly tis phone is for the use of CHIna and taiwan ppl~ earns cash from their country as many loves its 20,000 dictionary function from my opinion~ its really good for those chinese oso top10 chinese dictionary phone could be this~ sleek and its so-so~ users wont regret~ best if u buy other phones or any ppl can buy this if u wanna learn chinese hehe

  • I want a lightweight, camera less, cute NOKIA one. So I think this is the ideal phone for me. I want to know whether it is suitable for use in Bangladesh. If so, When it will be available at Bangladesh phone market? How much is it?

  • i want to know wheather it is avaliable in india or not it has radio or not expected price in india

  • I want a lightweight, camera less, cute NOKIA one. So I think this is the ideal phone for me. I want to now whether it is suitable for use in Sri Lanka. If so, When it will be available at Sri Lanka phone market? How much is it? I think I am so lucky if I will be able to buy it near future.

I think it shud hav a camera though. The recording is like 15 seconds, lol, not long.... games are okayish, (Dreamlike Farm, Tank Wars, Bomb Kid and Snow Racer, but games might be different here in UK when released). Its got a dictionary which is useful if ur chinese and english, (which i am) :D. Anyway thats all TA

  • When will be released???I'm stil waiting...come on nokia!!!

  • its along time since u\i see tho\is pohn and its still not avilabel yeeeeeeeeeet i want it now

  • Nokia should have catered the use for non-chinese, especially english. I cannot use the Dictionary in English to English. I would appreciate if the company make its 'English Manual' available on this site at the earliest. Talktime 4 hr and standby time 200 hr are nothing but fictitious.

  • if the info from gsmarena is right, so...good feature but NO INFRARED.Poor phone!

  • a nokia flip with an external antenna. Nokia is going the wrong the wrong way with this thing!

  • This phone should be made available to the Australian market & should have similar specifications to the 6230 modle in particular voice dialing ,hands free speaker , integrated fm radio , bluetooth & small and light weight.Nokia would sell them in the thousands.

  • looks cool....but doesnt have a camera

  • This phone looks great, although the function is not impressive.

  • malaysia need this cool design... this design is the best for now.. although the function not qutie good..

  • Hmmm, the antenne may suck a bit ...

  • it's a cool designed. i wanna buy this 4 my own. how much??

  • This is a great phone, from the specs stated its small and compact and would be great for people that do not require gadgets in there phones (mp3 player, camera, bluetooth etc.) Great Job Nokia!!!
