What reviewers say
GSMOnline and Mobile-review welcome the larger phonebook, practical organiser and polyphonic tones. GSMOnline praises text messaging, while Mobile-review finds the screen readable and the gaming covers useful. Both criticise the limited MMS implementation and describe software faults on their test samples; GSMOnline's phone stopped working after receiving a particular MMS, while Mobile-review reports occasional screensaver-menu resets. These observations do not establish faults in every production unit. Mobile-review's handset was supplied by Nokia.
Monochrome graphic LCD, 96 × 65 pixels, maker launch release. Text layout varies with function and font size; no maker-published diagonal or refresh assigned.

Battery life detail
Removable BLC-2 Li-ion, 950 mAh (GSMArena and GSMOnline's tested handset). Original guide names BLC-2 but gives no capacity. Maker launch claims up to 4 h 30 min talk and 13 days standby, dependent on network and use. Some regional listings/tests describe BLC-1 instead; no claim that every regional box includes BLC-2.
Wired charging
Original English issue 3 guide gives approximately 3 h 45 min for BLC-2 with ACP-7. Contemporary reviews quote other timings; maker guide used for this charger example. Proprietary bottom charger socket; no inferred wattage.

Weight detail
Maker launch specifies 105 g. Dimensions 118 × 42–50 × 18–21 mm (GSMArena, matching contemporary exact-model tests); headline uses the maximum published width and thickness. Shape and fitted cover determine measurements, as GSMOnline qualifies; no sibling-model dimensions substituted.
Colours
Replaceable Xpress-on covers. Archived promotional images show dark blue, red, white and other cover finishes plus Active light-effect, Gaming directional-key and Reactive glow-in-the-dark accessories. Accessory covers alter appearance or keypad geometry, not the handset generation; pictured cover packs do not establish supplied accessories in every region.
Buttons
Numeric keypad, two selection keys, up/down scroll keys, call/end keys and top power key, original guide. Optional Gaming cover provides different directional-key geometry; automatic keyguard is supported.

Software features
Original guide documents predictive text, SMS and picture messaging, receive-only MMS, polyphonic MIDI sounds, calendar, alarm, stopwatch, countdown timer and screensavers. Maker launch names Kart Racing, Dance 2 Music, Space Impact II, Bumper and Link5, with Club Nokia downloadable game content. No Java (GSMArena); no later 3510i colour display or Java support copied.
Release detail
Announced 12 March 2002 with planned second-quarter shipments. Nokia's 18 July 2002 results confirm actual shipping during that quarter in Europe and Asia Pacific, without a first worldwide sale month; year precision retained. Contemporary test predictions of early-June sale are not maker-confirmed first-sale dates. No explicit maker predecessor wording established.
Performance

Storage type
No memory-card slot (GSMArena).
Connectivity
Mobile network
GSM 900/1800 and WAP 1.2.1 over GPRS, maker launch. GPRS class 4 and no EDGE (GSMArena). Guide also permits GSM circuit-switched data for WAP. MMS reception depends on network services, device compatibility and supported content; no MMS sending.
