It goes extremely hot when typing SMS the maximum pages one can type is 3 pages and the phone swithes off out of over heating.
This fault has been observed on first use.That is from the manufacturer.
other faeture are okay.
What can you do please to this?

I forgot to mention sometimes it crashes when taking a picture, or the picture ends up being corrupted. And recently the vibration has gone weird and stays on too long.

Good:
- Keypad nice
- Slim
- Good enough interface
- Handy scheduler
- Standard mini USB port
- Camera OK for price
- After 11 months there is no dirt stuck inside screen
Bad:
- People on the other end of calls got annoying continuous ringing noise
- USB wouldn't charge phone
- Poor signal
- Poor battery
- T9 was hopeless at any words with apostrophes
- Putting in numbers in text was annoying
- Wouldn't let me save text messages only to internal memory - would fill up SIM memory first and annoy me about it

Got this phone 8 months ago, and considering it's price it seemed a nice phone. I only need it for calling and sms so the n343i was/is sufficient. It looks nice and everything worked fine untill a few weeks ago. The phone started to crash a few times a day (and later every few minutes). Reason for this could be that I dropped it a few times. I decided to buy a nokia 5410i. The reception of the nokia is way better. In places I couldn't call with the NEC now I can have perfect clear conversations. Also battery life is much better. Therefor I recommend a Nokia to everybody.
NEC 343i:
Pro:
looks
price
Con:
durability
reception
battery life (2 days)

Do not buy this phone. Looks great. Takes photos. You can record voice memos. It has a reliable alarm clock. The one thing you cannot do with this phone, however, is make or receive phone calls. At home -- no signal. At work -- no signal. While people on Nokia, Seimens, Sony-Ericsson etc are sitting next to me chatting away, my phone says 'no signal'. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

This phone doesnt have video recording & even if it did it would be very poor quality the display is cstn type making unclear for viewing images & the camera is useless due to lack of picture quality but the handset looks very attractive!

What can I say, I love the design! I got a free Ipod Nano with it and the phone and Ipod look like twins.
I don't really care much about special features so I'm satisfied, I can make phonecalls and send textmessages, that's enough for me.
The only problem I have is that I have no idea how to get the photo's from the phone to my computer, I've searched for software, but can't find it.

I got my N343i last October and the phone was so good to look at, My friends and family thought it was a hand held computer or an ipod, occasionally people would look at it on the bus.
I originally got the phone so that I could play games on the long distances I have to travel to either on the bus or tube, even now the phone still works fine and I don't really feel like getting a new one.
Only bad point's about it is that it has no 'External Link' or blue tooth, and £3.00 monthly subscription fee for imode games =(
However there is a way to get around the data exchange just use your imail to mail your computer email =)

O2 were fantastic when i had my previous mobile stolen in march. they replaced it within 48 hours with the NEC N343I. during the first 3 months the phone was amazing. i loves the sleek look i was having comments from all my friends about how ace it looked. i had no problem with the battery. text messages came through when sent. pictures were not fantastic but i lived with it. 9 months later im having nothing but problems.
1) The phone decides when it wants to work.
2) The phone decides to constantly vibrate on random occasions.
3) The case on the phone feels loose.
4) The camera fails to work. no clear picture. will not save. etc.
5) The battery is loose.
Now dont get me wrong, i look after my phones. It has hardly any marks on it. It always has a full battery as i make sure its fully charged. i havent abused the poor thing. i am extremly disapointed in NEC.
My advice to you if you are looking to purchase this model is to think again and invest in something that has good feedback.
