The Samsung B3310, with its numeric keys running alongside the screen, is definitely a strange-looking phone. One co-worker even likened the keys to teeth when holding the phone sideways. This design quirk does take some getting used to. Depending on which hand you use, the number pad may be a little awkward. For left-handers it's a breeze; for right-handers it may be a little difficult as your hand covers the screen as you press each button (a long thumb would come in handy to reach the top keys too).

When the QWERTY keypad is slid open it aligns with the number pad just as you'd expect from a computer keyboard. The keypad was comfortable to type on and easy to use, which were wonderfully responsive and gave a satisfying click when each key was pressed.

The B3310 is a compact phone measuring at a mere 103x56.5x12.4mm and it weighs 78.2 grams. Despite the phone's size, the 2-inch, 240x320 screen could've been slightly larger if it weren't for the keys running alongside it.

Just below the screen is the five-way navigation, select, answer and end call keys. The volume toggle is on the left side of the phone, while the camera button and micro USB port is on the right.

So as you've guessed now, there is no 3.5mm port for headphones, but Samsung has supplied an average pair that can also be used for hands-free. At the back of the B3310 you'll find the camera lens and a portrait mirror just below it.

Menu navigation is simple, with the home screen displaying a quick access bar to inbox, messaging, music, organiser, alarms and social networking apps. If you want, you can add apps to or delete them from the quick access bar. We'd recommend adding "Camera" because with the default settings you need to enter the menu system to activate photo shooting. Samsung has also assigned some navigation shortcuts as well, which you can easily change to your preferred preferences.

The B3310 features an MP3 player, a 2-megapixel camera which also works as a video recorder, FM radio, Bluetooth and 2G-only data. With its internal memory of only 40MB, Samsung has included an external slot for a microSD card.

The B3310 is a quad-band GSM device with support for EDGE and GPRS data, but no 3G. In this day and age it's a bit of a letdown to see a phone, even one as simple as this, without 3G.
