That's what I thought. They have already relaunched 3310 few years back.

Running buggy laggy unsupported KaiOS at that.

Imagine if Nokia had risen from the dead and continued the N900 line.

How cool a Maemo PDA would be now with all the spying sloppily made crap around.

Me too. I always thought of Nokia as genuine innovator's delivery good products. Not fantastic products. But good products with CONSUMERS in mind and their usage habits, rather than designing phones around optimizing selling us things.

Sure was. Seems all Nokia can do now is make middling Android phones or try to cash in on nostalgia.

Different model.

Yeah, but the 3G networks are pretty much all gone, and iirc even the 4G reboots didn't support a ton of LTE bands.

Are you sure you don't just want another camera stuck to the back? Maybe you have one too many external ports?

And as a bonus, they (at least the Nokias and Ericssons) could be used as weapons.

The battery is kind of important so any place that could be used for a gimmick is better used for a bigger battery. Back then I don't think anyone cared about battery size. I just charged my phone when it ran out.

The S30 OS, before Nokia collapses, was much better.

Yeah no - you're miss-remembering it. For example you had to delete SMS messages otherwise your mailbox would fill up.

It could only fit 10 messages before it'd run out of space, and once full no messages would be received at all.

Also, the battery life was ten days in standby if you didn't use the phone which was nice but as soon as you started using it... then it only lasted 3 hours. I used to carry two spare batteries in my bag... don't miss those days at all.

Eeh, they already did it with nokia 3310 and 8110 in 2018.
So I guess it still seems worth it.

As a sidenote, what the fuck, that was 6 years ago?

I'll get one for sure. Always handy to have a long battery lasting cheap phone for on festivals, so I don't have to carry my 1000 euro smartphone which probably won't survive. I'm always super careful with my stuff, never break my screen or lose my phone. Except when I'm on festivals. All I need is WhatsApp so I can find my friends anyeay. This becomes an issue after day 2, so I need to carry battery packs or be offline. And battery packs for 7 days festival is heavy and annoying.

but lost the charger - Hey, I'm in the UK but I have a drawer full of Nokia chargers if you need one! ( I keep them to impress the ladies, along with my collection of IKEA Allen keys...)

If you're in a country where GSM is native it's quite likely that 2G is still available. 3G probably got shut down in the meantime but 2G doesn't need much spectrum and is kept as a baseline compatibility protocol, possibly even mandated by law (because emergency services). It's also perfectly sufficient for voice calls. Internet is... tolerable if all you're doing is browsing wikipedia and doing email. It's easily twice as fast as a 56k modem what are you complaining about.

To call someone you need to have friends. Who needs friends when you have snake?

I’ve still got a 3310 in a drawer, it still turns on, and if I had a SIM card for it would be fully working as the UK still operates a 2G network (for now at least).

There’s even removable fascia plates still for sale on eBay.

Maps, lol!
