Resurrecting The Legendary Nokia 3310
Before high-speed mobile internet and smartphones, the era of Nokia ruled the cell phone market. 10-15 years ago these phones were favored for lasting in very harsh conditions and having a long battery life. In 2000 Nokia 3310 hit the market, featuring an 84x84 monochrome screen, a calculator, stop watch, reminder function and Snake II.
The company that manufactures the devices, HMD Global, announced the revival of the 3310 series. For today's standards, these features are very basic, and bring the question are these cell phones relevant in 2017? Nokia relies on a fine balance between nostalgia, size, and capability.
I think I'll give it a go. Currently, I use a cheap Nokia C1 just for phone calls and it surpasses any smartphone in terms of durability and battery life.
