Both models were equipped with the Nokia Series 40 platform, offering a user-friendly interface and access to a variety of applications, including games, productivity tools, and messaging services. In terms of messaging, both phones supported SMS and MMS, allowing users to send text messages and multimedia messages, including photos and sounds, which was relatively advanced for their time.

Battery life was another strong aspect of both models, with the N-3100 and N-3120 capable of delivering several days of usage on a single charge, a key benefit for users who relied on their phones throughout the day.
