Subject: Nokia 3310 'to be re-released'
Written By: Catherine91UK on 02/15/17 at 8:57 am
The early 00s nostalgia continues to creep in!

I wouldn't pay £50 for it, though!

Might still have an original in a drawer somewhere!

It's not that old to me yet to be honest. It was only like, what, 12-13 years ago when everyone still had one? ;D

Cultural nostalgia fetishism strikes again.
I kind of see people who consume these kinds of things as like people who would drink bacon shakes. I don't understand the point, but more power to you...

And the early 2000s nostalgia just keeps on growing. Although what would've been a better idea is that they would make a more modern designed phone, but with the aesthetic of the Nokia 3310. So a smartphone with a Nokia 3310 "costume" over it.

Here's what it looks like! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4261634/Nokia-brings-old-classic-3310-model-17-YEARS.html
It has more features than the original 3310. I still like to use 'feature phones', but it's only been a few months since I bought my most recent one. Might buy a 3310 in a few years' time!

As a person who is slightly older than the Nokia 3310 (I was born months before it was announced), I feel kinda hopeful for the mobile industry to not focus so much on smartphones.

Hmm, I don't remember what the ringtones sounded like, I'm trying to remember. I know my parents had this phone.

Compared to a current iPhone or Android device, the Nokia 3310 might as well have been made in 1965.
(And yes, I still have mine. ;))

Pretty much any archaic cell phone from the 90s looks like it can be made from the 60s or 70s.

Ugh! Why? ::) ??? I'm happy we don't need to use those crappy phones now. They were hard to use.

This sounds like something hipsters would eat up, for sure. I don't know if it will really take of with the general public, though. ::)

I would've switched to a flip phone if I had the Nokia 3310.
