No voice activation on the 7210 at all, it wasn't worth beans a year ago and
it certainly isn't now. battery life isn't great either. colour screens are
never going to give the same battery life as older mono phones did. a couple
of days is the best you'll get.

as for the 3100. the first line of the features list says it all. "glow in
the dark cover". the second that says "flashing lights when phone rings"
should dissuade anyone who wasn't turned away by the first line. event he
7210 is far superior to this. you may want to take a look at the screen
first (a real one, not the shop dummy (phone, not sales assistant). This was
one of the first nokia colour screens, there are many better out there now.
