Nokia 8310 Review

2006-07-06T13:11:00.000-07:00

The Nokia 8310 replaces the very popular 8210. The Nokia 8310 features a more modern stylish look, WAP (GPRS), and the benefit of an integrated FM radio with headset. The infra-red modem enables the Nokia 8310 to easily interface with a laptop for example. The re-modelled facia makes the buttons easier to use than the 8210 which it replaced, and of course the phone looks more modern than the older 8210. It's actually even smaller than the 8210, although a touch heavier. Reliability problems and the fact that this phone is well past its sell-by date in terms of features make this a poor choice nowadays.

A Guide to Finding Legal Free Ringtones

Many web sites claim to offer free ringtones, and most of them are legitimate, but there are a couple of issues that seekers of free ringtones should keep in mind. First, some of these sites are either outright scams or at best disingenuous--They may have free ringtones, but they're only available if you buy something else or pay for a membership first. The second potential problem with free ringtones is that the purveyor may be using private material such as movie themes and popular songs without paying royalties to the rights holder.

Many sites that offer free ringtones do so not because they love the public and want to make sure their ringtone needs are met, but rather as a lure to draw them in for nefarious purposes. This issue was highlighted most directly in 2005 when a judge ordered the shutdown of several web sites that were luring web surfers with promises of free ringtones, and then installing malicious software on their machines. Some sites that offer free ringtones may not go this far, but they may feature annoying pop up ads and other offensive content

Many sites may offer free ringtones without installing spyware or inundating visitors with ads, but they still may present a legal issue. Most popular music is protected by copyright law, and any use of the music, such as in free ringtones, requires that royalties be paid to the artist.

While there are many good sources of free ringtones, it is worthwhile to read independent reviews of the sites before visiting them. If the free ringtones offered are popular songs or file themes, make sure that the website pays royalties to the artist. Be safe, and have fun while hunting for free ringtones!
