It's the return of the 3310!

[Akagi]

Mum still uses a light blue one. And dad uses an NK402 in its original pouch.

Not quite sure who would want this really?

Older generation who don't want full blown smart phones and still recognise the Nokia brand as being trustworthy, builders and other "non-techy" folk, i imagine.

It's too expensive for a burner phone.

 

[Captain]

I'll buy one just for snake.

 

[adolf hamster]

Old folks, People who want a 3 year battery life, Builders and parents gon' love this

 

[chaparral]

They need to bring out the water proof nokia 5210 (There no point in a working man mobile phone if it not water proof)



Which you could buy replacement case housing for in different colours

 

[leoncc]

8210 was the phone back then for sure!

 

[koooowweeee]

8210 was the phone back then for sure!

7210 was the one! Much sleeker than the 8210

Not quite sure who would want this really?

Drug dealers, they will be bought by the dozen.

 

[koooowweeee]

Not sure why a drug dealer would buy a big old phone when they can get small ones for £10 for asda

 

[chaparral]

So who going be buying one ?

Not me...

 

[koooowweeee]

I can't see many buying them tbh.

 

[Sp00n]

So who going be buying one ?

Not me...

Without knowing the full details, who knows?

 

[Akagi]

Do we know what it looks like yet?

 

[arknor]

I saw some old woman using a 3310 on the bus in st gallen

When I heard about this I assumed would make a modern version with current hardware, sadly it's looks like they're going to try and recreate it which is going to suck.

Like most gadgets we remember from the past, they're best left in the past as revisiting them is ultimately going to be disappointing.

 

[daman2k]

While it was a cool phone, are people really going to pay £50 for this?

 

[Sp00n]

While it was a cool phone, are people really going to pay £50 for this?

It's not the same phone, it's an "homage" so quite possibly, yes.

Has any further info been release yet?

 

[mattyfez]

£50?

Definitely a bit of hipster tax there methinks.

pointless, pick up an emergency budget phone for much cheaper.

Same shape but a smartphone inside
