The Nokia 3100 is a triband-GSM cellphone released on the 17th of June 2003 as an entry-level phone from Nokia, designed primarily for the younger market.
Contents
The Nokia 3100 was developed from the Nokia 6100 as a successor to the Nokia 3510.
The phone is equipped with a 128x128 pixel passive colour display (4096 colors/12-bit), Java MIDP 1.0, XHTML and WAP browser, GPRS, Pop-Port connectivity and Lithium-ion battery. It is also capable of playing polyphonic MIDI files, which can be used as ringtones.
Features
The Nokia 3100 uses Nokia's Series 40 platform firmware that uses large static icons rather than animated icons that are used on some of the other Nokia phones.
The phone can send and receive text and multimedia messages with ringtones and images in BMP, JPEG, PNG and GIF formats. The basic 3100 does not have any voice recorder, radio receiver, MP3 player or camera, while the 3100b variant supports voice recording. A camera can be added to the phone via its Pop-Port.
The Nokia 3200 builds on the features of the Nokia 3100, and incorporates more features from the Nokia 7250i, such as a built-in CIF-resolution camera.

Nokia 3100b (RH-50)
This version intended to be used in American GSM networks. It works in GSM 850/1800/1900.
Differences from the basic 3100:
Nokia 3105
The CDMA version of the Nokia 3100, working in CDMA2000 1xRTT networks. It is physically similar to the 3100 except for a built-in flashlight and a slightly different shape of the rear battery cover; the phone's firmware is more feature-rich than the basic 3100 or 3100b (e.g.: voice tags and voice commands, Organizer menu, etc.)
The Nokia 3105 was used in Australia on the Hutchison Orange network until the closure of the CDMA network in Australia in late 2006. All customers on the Orange network were then moved to Hutchison's 3G network "3".
Nokia 3120
Announced in 2004, the Nokia 3120 is a redesigned variant of the 3100. Apart from a more business-like face plate, a revised keypad and the inclusion of SmileyWorld-themed content, the 3120 is otherwise identical to the base 3100 variants. In addition to the GSM 3120, the CDMA 3105 was also revised as the Nokia 3125, utilizing the base 3120 faceplate while retaining the 3105 battery cover.
