My first T-Mobile phone was the diminutive Nokia 8290, which I loved dearly and which I still use as my back-up cell phone. That phone did harsh duty in my pocket, in Houston, in all sorts of (hot and wet) conditions and still does what I need it to do, namely send and receive voice and text messages. I simply don't like flip phones. I'm an outside sales rep and while I use my phone sparingly on the road there are times when it's difficult to avoid, thus I dropped my 8290 and now my 3220 into my shirt pocket, plug in the ear-bud, put it on auto-answer and voila! No need to take your hands off the wheel to say hello.I'm in and out of my car maybe 20+ times a day and a belt clip is simply inconvenient; a cell phones get caught on the seatbelt and ends up falling on the ground, getting lost, etc. The 8290 and thankfully now the 3220 slip unobtrusively into my pocket. No, I didn't attract any attention because I didn't have various electrical devices clipped to my hip - I didn't need the attention. I could hear and feel the 8290 ring in my pocket and never missed a call or lost my phone in four years.Then suddenly there were no choices from T-Mobile or Nokia to replace it. Years passed. Now I have the 3220. HOORAY! I love this phone. One reviewer said it wouldn't attract business people? Hello? I think the dark blue/black body and face offers an unusually attractive alternative to all the ho-hum me-too flip phones out there. And all the flashing lights can be shut off if that's a problem. Besides, I agree with another reviewer, "Why should kids have all the fun?" The rubber panels on the sides make for great grips in holding onto this phone, even in a rain storm. Batter life is very, very good and the sound is excellent. It also fits unobtrusively into my pocket and alerts me in even nicer tones and vibrations that a call is coming in.The keypad is fine for me as my wife and I send a fair amount of SMS. Bluetooth is simply not a requirement. The camera is fun and I don't really have much time for the games (I'll eat these words next time I accompany my wife shopping) so I apologize for selling these features short in my review. I have used the Voice Recorder feature a few times & getting to like it a lot. There are many features to be appreciated on this phone & if you're a past Nokia user you'll find the interface even easier and user friendly.For me it's simply size and performance (no giggles please). I do like the speakerphone as an option when talking in a noisy environment. It isn't powerful enough to set on the seat beside you but rather to hold a bit away from the ear. Ring tones are adequate and can be pleasant or subdued as you like. I love the detail the screen shows on battery power and reception. It has good readability.Again, the 3220 is used 95% for business and I'm pushing 60 years on this earth - yuppers, I'm an old fart. I hope the plastic faceplate stands up to abrasion/wear better than the 8290 which needed replacement four times in four years (currently getting hard to find).Regarding the 3220, thanks Nokia and thanks T-Mobile. It's a very small, gorgeous, fun and functional phone.P.S. I like the plastic on-off switch on top vs. the older rubber ones. This works great!
