Every mobile phone manufacturer has something brand new and in most cases exciting to present at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.

Nokia has several handsets to unveil, including the 3110, a classic robust and dependable handset that we're somewhat accustomed to expect from the Finish manufacturer once in a while, you know, the kind that never breaks down no matter what you do to it.

The Nokia 3110 classic is a mid-range handset that comes with a built-in music player, Bluetooth for connectivity, a USB port and a 2.2 inch color display.

It is a tri-band mobile phone working on EGSM 900, GSM 1800/1900, with a broad range of enhancements provided by Nokia and offers a great deal of functionality aside from providing the user with the possibility to listen to music at any time and easily transfer tracks from the PC.

The handset is not all packed with fancy features, but it does come at a pretty affordable price, it's a well-balanced phone and should suite the more basic user's needs.

"The Nokia 3110 classic delivers on the promise of honest performance, dependability over time and up to date styling," says John Barry, Director, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "The Nokia 3110 classic has several little crafted details that most people will not notice, like thicker plastic and a larger antenna to make the phone more dependable. To keep up with the latest trends in mobile phones, the Nokia 3110 classic also has a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player with expandable memory and an FM stereo radio. Our newest addition to Nokia's mid-range selection offers a wide range of conventional features at an accessible price."

The mobile phone is expected to start shipping in the second quarter of the year and will be available for an estimated retail price of 150 Euro, excluding taxes and subsidies.
