Nokia tends to release cellphones that are extremely different in design whenever a new model is launched, breaking the monotony which can be refreshing yet disconcerting. The 3109 Classic is the latest handset from the Finnish cellphone manufacturer, aiming to bring a strict balance between entry level features and some higher end functions. What you get with the 3109 include Bluetooth connectivity, a microSD memory card slot to enhance your portable MP3 player experience, an e-mail client, and a speakerphone. What you won’t get is a digital camera - a strange decision in this day and age, relegating this to a cellphone for companies who are afraid of their employees stealing data visually using the integrated camera.
Battery life for the Nokia 3109 Classic stands at 4 hours of talk time and a whopping 16 days on standby, although expect real time usage to be far lower than the quoted figures. Chances are this handset will remain an Europe-only cellphone, retailing for approximately $189 before taxes when launched.

“What you won’t get is a digital camera - a strange decision in this day and age”
Not at all, digital cameras on cell phones are by far the most useless addition imo. They make the phone more expensive, bigger, heavier and the quality of photos is nowhere near what you’ll get for an inexpensive digital camera, which has more options.
