What reviewers say
iXBT and What Mobile at The Register like the improved keypad legibility and useful business features, but find Bluetooth pairing unreliable on their contemporary samples. iXBT reports lost headset pairings and occasional resets during Bluetooth data use; What Mobile encounters repeated PDA pairing prompts. Both point out that the email menu sends SMS through an operator gateway rather than providing a POP3 client. iXBT finds the bundled Java applications slow and basic. These early software and regional-network findings are qualified; they are not a claim that every later firmware version behaves identically.
Monochrome graphic LCD with blue backlight. GSMchoice gives 96 × 65 pixels for the exact 6310i; GSMArena instead lists 96 × 60. This unresolved source discrepancy is retained; no physical diagonal or pixel density is inferred.

Battery life detail
Removable BPS-2 lithium-polymer pack; 1,100 mAh from GSMchoice and GSMArena exact-model tables, filling a capacity gap in the retrieved maker guide. Maker announcement gives up to six hours talk and seventeen days standby; actual network, use and battery condition affect endurance.
Wired charging
Proprietary charger connector. Exact English Issue 3 guide gives approximately one hour forty minutes for a BPS-2 with an ACP-12 charger; this is not a charging-wattage figure.

Software features
Java J2ME/MIDP 1.0 with applications up to 30 kB each, WAP 1.2.1, SMS/picture messaging, predictive text, organiser, wallet, voice commands/dialling/recording, timed profiles and games. Original maker guide permits application downloads via WAP or compatible PC Suite, despite What Mobile's contemporary report that over-the-air downloads were unavailable; guide capability is retained with this version/source discrepancy. Email messages use SMS gateways, not an integrated POP3 client.
Release detail
Announced 12 March 2002, with global shipments expected in the second quarter. iXBT's 7 May test describes sales beginning in May, while the UK September review confirms retail availability. First maker-confirmed retail month remains unpublished in the retrieved sources, so only 2002 is recorded.
Performance
Memory
The exact maker guide documents a dynamically shared pool for calendar notes, to-do items, Java applications, WAP bookmarks/cache and wallet notes. Example: 250 calendar notes may occupy most of this pool. Up to 500 phonebook names with associated numbers and text items are supported. RAM and total persistent storage capacity are unpublished in the retrieved maker sources and omitted.
Connectivity
Mobile network
GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900, exact NPL-1 guide and maker announcement. GPRS and HSCSD; exact guide gives HSCSD email transfer up to 28.8 kbps and Internet download up to 43.2 kbps where supported by the network. Compatible software and service subscriptions required.
SIM
Removable SIM behind the battery; exact guide says 5 V SIM cards are not supported.
Bluetooth
Integrated Bluetooth for compatible modem, business-card/calendar exchange and audio accessories, up to ten metres in the exact maker guide. A version number is omitted because the retrieved exact guide does not publish one.
USB
Optional compatible data cable, infrared and Bluetooth connect the phone to computer software, exact guide. What Mobile identifies the contemporary cable as RS-232 and notes the absence of USB; current software availability is not claimed.
