Awww yis :D

Nokia's 3310 phone has been relaunched nearly 17 years after its debut.
Many consider the original handset iconic because of its popularity and sturdiness. More than 126 million were produced before it was phased out in 2005.
The revamped version will be sold under licence by the Finnish start-up HMD Global, which also unveiled several Nokia-branded Android smartphones.
One expert said it was a "fantastic way" to relaunch Nokia's phone brand.


Quote:
However, its advantage over more powerful handsets is its battery life. HMD says the colour-screened phone has up to a month's standby time and delivers more than 22 hours of talk time.
It also comes with the modern version of the classic game Snake preinstalled.
Its launch price is €49 ($51,75; £41.51).

Everyone goes "omg awesome". Nobody buys it, except for the novelty of being able to say you got one without actually having to use it.

Shame it doesn't run Android behind the scenes, could have had lots of modding potential.

But then I guess you'd not easily get a month's standby if you did.

For the traveller it would be great to have a device that can do phone calls, text messaging, real-time voice recognition translations, world-wide navigation, web browsing and doubles up as a quick point-and-shoot photo camera. The Nokia 3310 is not that.

And battery life should not be a huge issue if you turn off Wifi and 4G when you don't need it, dial down screen brightness and possibly bring along a separate USB power bank (waka waka power light is awesome as it can charge itself using a built-in solar panel)

It is on the 2G network :eek:
Australia is phasing out this technology so we won't see the phone here. Just heard it on the radio news :smirk:
