The 3300 has various setting and groups, profiles, where you can personalize.

Quickly change the settings on your phone by assigning and customizing profiles. This menu is pretty self explanatory, however one great feature is the timed profile ability. You can tell the phone to stay on a certain profile until a specified time. When the set time is reached it changes back to the profile you had before.

All the multimedia customizations are done here. Create and add your own wallpapers, or just download them to the 3300. Background sizes are 128 x 128 px, which is standard for the Series 40 phones. As noted before, the 3300 also supports colors up to 4096 which places the 3300 right in the middle of the market in terms of screen size and resolution.

The audio capabilities of the 3300 are quite amazing to say the least. The 3300 can use its 24 simultaneous tones or MP3 or AAC encoded files for stunning sounding ring tones. The 3300 also allows you to play music in the background, so you can text message or play games while listening from the music player.

MP3 and AAC files are stored on a MMC card. A typical 64 MB card can hold about an hours worth of MP3s sampled at 128 kbps and around 2 hours of AAC encoded songs. The difference between MP3 and AAC is is supposedly ACC has a more sophisticated compression algorithm. So it takes half to file size to produce the same quality music.

The built-in equalizer, balance, loudness and stereo widening lets you adjust your music environment to your liking. The 3300 comes with 4 5-band equalizer presets and a spot to save your custom setting.

In addition to playback, you can record directly to the MMC card. Next to the headset jack is a 1/8 inch input. This allows you to record from any device with an audio output source. You can even record voice conversations using the microphone. Many phones offer audio playback capabilities, but few let you record. By letting users record from any audio source, Nokia has added versatility to the 3300 that is unrivaled thus far.

One small addition should be noted. Nokia uses a proprietary jack for the 3300, so only Nokia designed headsets will work with the 3300.
