I shouldn't have started that retro thread. :D My Nokia 3330 is well
past it's sell by date, and I'm sure to be entitled to a new phone from
Voda, was doing all my research and stuff then saw a couple of these on
Ebay and fell in love all over again ;)

I always wanted one at the time, now I can own one, but are they
actually any good to live with?

What problems am I letting myself in for with a phone what? five years
old now? Will I be able to get new batteries?

Oh and does the keypad autolock after a few seconds of non-use like the
later nokias?

Only if you've got very small fingers..! That's why I sold mine, I kept
pushing the wrong buttons..!

They'll be around somewhere, they may even be the same as those for the
7250i that I have (BLD3) but not sure after all this time. There's a
website that specialises in batteries, but I can't think of it now.

not really worth bothering with now, get a Nokia 1101 instead.
