A mobile phone to phone and do basic messaging, just like the durable, robust Nokia 3310. "... But perhaps the most interesting of these devices, at least from the perspective of mobile enthusiasts, is not a smartphone at all, but a modern version of a classic workhorse of a feature phone, the Nokia 3310. Known primarily for its plentiful battery life and nearly indestructible build, the 3310 was released at the turn of the millennium as a replacement to the also-popular 3210. At just €59, this new incarnation seems priced competitively enough to win over nostalgic former owners for use as a second phone. HMD is holding its launch event on February 26 in Barcelona. It’s explicitly targeting the European marketplace, while distribution plans for other regions — namely North America — weren’t immediately known." venturebeat.com/2017/02/13/hmd-global-will-launch-the-nokia-3-5-and-6-at-mwc-plus-a-3310-homage/ |

Now that my 3yo son has taught me how to use my smart phone, I don't think I could go back to one of those models that don't have power windows and air con standard.

59 pounds is a rip off. Australia sells the nokia copy 3310 for 10 dollars. Can still buy them at the local talat nat, 200 baht. When the locals ask me why I still use one, my answer is. ขโมยมองไม่เห็น, even the thieves dont bother with them, what a bargain, a proper phone, and doesnt cost 6 months wages, never mind thats the price of face for you. PS, I have it on good authority, Smokie still has his, he is waiting for his flares and platform shoes to come back into fashion before he is seen wandering the sois of Thong Lor and being a hipster |

^^^ one of these days if I can be assed writing it, I will post the story about, The Donkey, his BG girlfriend and a Motorola second hand phone.
My mrs left the scene shocked and stunned, I thought to myself are you a effin masochist that even wants to take up with a girl like this that treats you like shite.
To cut a long story short, yes he indeed did, no need to type the rest, we all know the outcome.
Even more heartbreaking is, he broke a riap roy Japanese girls heart by marrying a slapper with baggage in tow.
Never mind, he knew best, and by gawd is he paying for it now, karma is a bitch, I hope the japanese girl thanks her lucky stars at what an escape she had rather than taking up with that mug.

One of the best Nokias was the revolutionary one that had a torch built into it for skinning up in the dark.
Or just finding where that keyhole really is

Seems some complained the new Nokia 3310 only had 2G and coverage in more advanced countries is limited. So, here the latest newest Nokia 3310 with 3G support! "Nokia 3310 Gets a 3G Upgrade By adding 3G, the 3310 can now be used in markets where there isn't a 2G service available anymore. The 3G handset will be available in four new colors (Azure, Yellow, Warm Red, and Charcoal) and will offer 6.5 hours of talk time, 27 days of standby, and 40 hours of music playback. Notice how much that talk time total has dropped compared to the 2G version even though both handsets have the same battery. As TechCrunch reports, the size of the 3310 increased to make way for 3G. It's 13.29 percent larger in volume compared to the 2G version, which also allows the buttons to be better spaced. As you'd expect, the price is increasing to 69 euros ($80) (the 3310 is 49 euros ($58))." www.pcmag.com/news/356485/nokia-3310-gets-a-3g-upgrade |
