Why would it be worth getting. It's 100% ironic retro nostalgia based.

>>58941176
I need a phone to make calls and wake me up at mornings, why not 3310?

>€59
You do realize you can buy like 4 original 3310s for that price, right?

>>58941187
why not buy a used 3310 for under $20 instead of dropping 75 bucks on this?

what the fuck is nokia thinking?

>>58941187
You can get phones to do that now.

>At just €59, this new incarnation seems priced competitively enough to win over nostalgic former owners for use as a second phone
>just €59
The fuck, Nokia, I can get some chink shit with same functionality for ten times lower price.
>>58941217
I believe I can get cheaper and new dumbphone with same functions for $10 or soю

>>58941176

Its a phone for senior citizens

>>58941248
Yeah, but can that chink phone stop a bullet?

>>58941187
your smartphone can't do that?

I don't own one.

>>58941159
Ah yes. My favorite phone back in the days. Heck I could even write text messages with that phone while holding it inside my pocket. Try doing that with your modern """""""smartshit"""""

>i know nothing about firearms, the post

What caliber bullet does an AR15 use them?

>>58941320
That is literally the ONLY thing I miss about dumbphones. I used to do no-look texting all the time.

>>58941208
you sure as hell cannot, those phones were iconic. A new, working 3310 will usually sell for around 40€

>>58941320
How can cuckphones even compete with this?

OsmocomBB when?

OK google, text mom I'll be home in five minutes

The point was that you could do it without people knowing.

>>58941866
I have a Nokia that says "made in Finland".
Comfy af

>>58941159
I would get the Nu3310 if I could email with it.

I had a nokia 6300 after my brief course with symbian and was happy... until the crypto level was upped at the company.

If they were to release a "dumb" phone with an email client and wifi; you would need updates, because the world is ever changing. Of course since this is a dumbphone so no updates.

>>58941159
It's going to be backdoored by the NSA

>>58941159
Why bother? My 3310 still works just fine.

I'll grab one for an mp3 player/travel phone.
I've been holding off upgrading my Lumia 930 in wait for one of their new phones , its a waiting game on release date price point and for me vat we get shafted here on that , really is prefer to see a reshash of the 6300 that was a fantastic phone or maybe the e63 that was comfy as fuck

>>58941208
With shitty batteries, in terrible condition and with barely working buttons? Great

>Oh cool a 3310
>so it's like $15 right

>'just 59 euros'

Kek fuck off

Perhaps they have a very specific market segment in mind?

>>58943106
The 3310 can't play mp3s, idiot.

>>58942202
.223

>>58943175
Nothing is confirmed we know next to nothing but it's a refresh there'll be new software , and if you recall the original had a small port for nokias weird jack, it will not just be a phonebook and radio but not much more

Silly rude person

All you faggots knocking the 59 euro price tag of the "new" Nokia 3310, do you realise that this is probably a slightly improved version with 3G support? A lot of countries have already or are in the process of decommissioning their 2G/GSM networks and reallocating the frequencies for 4G, so the old school original Nokia 3310's will be nothing but paperweights soon.

Of course I'm only speculating, but there'd be little point in Nokia releasing a handset at that price point that was still only 2G. It would only be of use in 3rd world shitholes and those markets are already saturated with $10 phones.

>>58942202
it uses the same ammo as the AK47, and it holds 15 rounds as opposed to the AK's 47, i heard thr new AK can hold 112 bullets.

>>58941159
I work for Nokia.

You better buy it.
They are paying me very less. And increments are horse shit.

>>58941159
Biggest problem is everyone is using whatsapp or its variant. You're basically forced to have smartphone. I'm not talking about social media like facebook, just super popular messaging apps.

Cannot wait to play le snake 2 again

>>58943631
Nokia Bell Labs?

>>58941159
memelord money grab. you can buy cheap dumbphones in packs of 2 on amazon that work anywhere in the world, and have extras like flashlight and FM tuner, for so much less $.

>>58941159
I wonder what kind of insides will the 3310 homage get.

The old one had an 900mAh nickel battery.
You could probably fit a fuckhueg modern Li-ion in the same size.

Not to mention that by now probably all the electronics the 3310 ever had could be fit inside and handled by a single chip.

Interesting. Won't get one, but interesting nevertheless.

>>58943631

>>58943233
Epic maymay xD

>>58943716
>The old one had an 900mAh nickel battery.
Mine has li-ion. It was compatible with some later models too.

>>58943673
Perhaps it will have inbuilt IRC support? There's relay for slack <-> IRC at least.

>>58943751
You're right, just checked, there was a refreshed battery replacement that was Li-ion. Living in eastern europe, they probably weren't available or just were to expensive for anyone to buy. But still it was only 1Ah. I bet you can squeeze more with modern manufacturing process.

It would be nice if the new offered something stupid like 1 month+ of battery life. I might even be tempted if that was the case.

>>58943716
I'd buy a dumbphone that had like three months standby.

>>58943673
>Biggest problem is everyone is using whatsapp or its variant.
Only germans and poor people.

Europe uses mainly SMS and facebook messager.
So does the US.

They are a big company who doesn't understand memes and thinks people are genuinely crazy about this phone.

>>58943878
You said that like they claimed it was their new flagship.

They probably have their old moulds from the 3310 era so they'll churn out few thousand units before they wear down completely and scrap them.

Like someone said before, we've come a long way since then, the entire board will probably be a single chip handling everything, a power control unit and a modem.


If it's economically feasible to shit out a 5$ single-board arm-based computer I don't see why a 50€+ microcontroller based, monochrome, nostalgia-powered phone wouldn't.

Japs are reviving their tamagotchi toys with the same form and internals as 30 years ago and it will sell like crazy.

>>58943999
>If it's economically feasible to shit out a 5$ single-board arm-based computer

there are android-based smartphones you can get for 4 USD.

if this thing will have the computing capabilities comparable to the original one we're talking about HUMONGOUS profit margins if this thing sells.

>>58943200
So, .22.

You can actually shoot .22LR through normal AR barrel, you just need a new BCG and magazine.

And what caliber is a .22lr?

>>58944145
You dont even have to round down, .22lr bullets are literally .223 where they meet the casing

>>58941159
I would

>>58944086
It was a scam.

wtf ritsu did not do this

A second phone is a necessity because smart phones can't into battery

Hey Bulgaria

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

My father was in the original 3310 team. He did stress tests by throwing it at a barn door. Nothing ever broke, he just re-assembled the covers and keyboard.

>>58941159
if it had a whatsapp port it would be nice

I don't actually text or really make calls these days

Will it have 3G though. The original was 2G only and is not usable on modern networks

>>58946720
>whatsapp when SMS exists
Nice poo in loo country anon

>>58946758
>SMS
>not outdated

wow I sure do like sending images with MMS. And making group chats on it. And sending videos. And being able to know when someone received and read your message.

Keep up with the times grandpa

>>58941159
The old one I have still works.
