Menu System
The Nokia 3100 uses Nokia's Series 40 platform firmware that uses large static icons rather than animated icons that are used on some of the other Nokia phones.
The menu has 14 main categories:
- Messages - This consists of a multimedia and text messages editor
- Call register - It records the duration of calls and connections and used phone numbers
- Phone book - A phone book with contacts editor
- Profiles - User profiles for various situations (silent, loud, general, etc.)
- Settings - All phone settings are stored here
- Alarm clock - A simple alarm clock
- Gallery - Small file manager in which you can store images and ringtones
- Calendar - Calendar with notes and reminders
- Games - Directory for Java games
- Applications - Directory for applications
- Extras - Some extra tools like calculator, countdown timer and stopwatch
- Services - WAP browser and WAP settings
- Go to - settings for "Go to" menu, all most used functions are stored here as shortcuts
- SIM Application Toolkit menu - this contains information stored in SIM card such as network bonus services or pay services (appears only if the used SIM card offers these services)
The phone can send and receive text and multimedia messages with ringtones and images in BMP, JPEG, PNG and GIF formats. The basic 3100 does not have any voice recorder, radio receiver, MP3 player or camera, while the 3100b version supports voice recording. A camera can be added to the phone via its Pop-Port.
This was one of the most popular Nokia phones in Europe and United States.
In 2004 Nokia released the Nokia 3120 phone, which is cosmetically different from the 3100 in having a new metallic effect covers and a revised keypad. The 3120 essentially shares the same platform and form factor with the 3100, other than the aforementioned faceplate.
The Nokia 3200 builds on the features of the Nokia 3100, and incorporates more features from the Nokia 7250i, such as a built-in CIF-resolution camera.

Famous quotes containing the words menu and/or system:
“...what a thing it is to lie there all day in the fine breeze, with the pine needles dropping on one, only to return to the hotel at night so hungry that the dinner, however homely, is a fete, and the menu finer reading than the best poetry in the world! Yet we are to leave all this for the glare and blaze of Nice and Monte Carlo; which is proof enough that one cannot become really acclimated to happiness.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression. The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
