Still got mine Pow.
Could comfortably fit it in the change pocket in my jeans.
Brilliant little phone.
All it would need is a battery and I could use it today.

3310/30 range was un-destructable. Dropped in tomato soup, no worries, wash under tap, stick in warm place for a few days. Sorted, phone works 
Although the 8210 was good, it was about 3-4 years behind this bad boy. Loved it as it was so small at the time. I actually had the model before the T28, but can't remember the name.

So, who's REALLY old. Whe remembers using those brick phones, with a Mercury/121 chip card. Friend had a free weekends + free weekday sims. Used to swap the credit card sized sim's over, was worth a bloody fortune at the time.
Simple was better 
One of my sister's mates had one of those for ages.
In the end, Mercury would regularly offer her five hundred quid to buy it back, as she was costing them so much money

The only thing wrong with it was that there was only three characters for each person in the phone book. That is a problem when you know two Grahams and two Marks etc etc

Found an old pic of my 1st phone, Mitsubishi of some sort, next to my now old Blackberry 9900.
I used to love the old Nokia's though! Best phone I owned was a Sony Ericsson K800i though!

I remember a friend that had one of those Cellnet phones on the left. If he turned it off and back on, the remaining credit always returned to £10. Never had to top it up.

this brings back memories..
I remember changing the message centre number to +94????????? To get free texts .. I used to sit there all day entering different numbers and the buzz I used to get when a message would actually send
Pretty sure it wasn't legal sending via someone else's system

I even remember as a kid being told that on the 3210 if you enter *#06# and leave the phone for 24 hours without reviving a message or call then you'd get unlimited credit ... the feeling of hatred when id receive a message after 20+hours and then having to try again
