Remember the Nokia 3310?... It's back.

Just like those 8 bit console re-releases, after 5 minutes using it you'll realise nostalgia and reality are best left separated.

6310i was where it was at.

My favourite was the 6600. Still have one that works albeit without the lcd backlight.

Loved that phone. Had the bigger phone (3210?) before it.

Was a nice small phone with no aerial and I found it very sturdy.

Plus snake was very addictive.

I still have a working 3310. Battery may finally have died, but the damn thing is still going when I can get a charger for it.

Well there goes my pension plan, have a box full of them in the attic I was planning on cashing in for retirement!

My only hope now is my stash of 5110s!:D

My first cellphone ever back when I was 15.

Awww, the memories!

You're backwards there.

It's just the name that they're reviving AFAIK.

Still a good few people out there who use dump phones for their original intended simple purpose so I think it will have a certain appeal. Nokia as a brand is an non entity these days so this could go someway to reinventing the brand again.

Somehow in 17 years time however I don't think there will be the same love for the reintroduction of their Windows smartphones.

Everytime I load this page I get an antivirus warning because of this image.

It won't even display for me. I think the domain is blocked.



As for the phone. It won't be the same phone that nokia released years ago. I'd image it would have loads of modern features such as better cameras, flashes, etc. It'll probably even have the ability to handle some apps like whatsapp and viber. And I'd imagine a micro SD slot and a music player.

It's also worth noting that non smartphones are still the biggest selling phones in the world. Somewhere like india where money is scarce for a lot of people and even electricity can be hard to come by, a good reliable non-smart phone sells well. The new nokia's have a battery life of up to 30 days.

The new phone will probably have similar features to this

That even has facebook and twitter on it.

And it's also worth noting that nokia aren't making it. Nokia sold it's phone business to microsoft. But they rebadged the nokia lumia as the microsoft lumia. And they're even ditching Lumia with the rumour of a surface phone. So they sold off the nokia brand again, this time to another finnish firm. So these new phones are being made by a finnish firm called Nokia that isn't actually the original nokia.

My first mobile tellingbone back in the latter half of the 90's - the Ericsson T10.



I remember the call rates were like 90p a minute, or something mad like that.

That was my second phone. My first one was one of these.

It could make calls and send texts and that was it. It didn't even have a clock function:)

I'd actually buy a phone like the new nokia if it came with 4g and could be turned into a mobile hotspot. It would also have to have messenger apps. That's about all I need. I could live without social media on my phone and would easily sacrifice it if I could go a week on one battery charge.
