Nokia 6310

Seve OB

I know Nokia have produced some new phones lately, all be it that it is not really Nokia anymore. But they have rolled back the years and knocked out a few updated versions of their old stalwarts. I think one was the 3310, a small finiky one, was always at the cheaper end of the market and I was never a fan.

I'm sick of smartphones and want to ditch mine in favour of a phone that makes and takes calls. One which I can send or receive a text. And maybe some added bonuses like bluetooth for the car or even an fm radio or a calculator I don't need a camera, facebox, google or any of that crap. I'm just after a phone!

So I was just wondering if there is any chance of them knocking out a modernised version of the best phone ever made... the Nokia 6310?

You are referring to feature phones.

Nokia relaunched a retro 3310 recently but it is still a smartphone.

Just make sure it will work on your network.

These things are fine if everyone is using them or for short periods of time. If you have mates that use whatsapp or viber or hangouts etc then you're out of the loop. They have a real limited appeal in Europe imo.

Yeah, still have one, an old 3410, 3310, 3210, E70 and a few others in their box in the drawer. Waiting on prices to rocket up!

The wife had one, I dropped it in a cup of tea by mistake. She still hasn't forgiven me....
