The Nokia 3310 Phone

The Nokia 3310 is a classic phone in the sense that people hold many memories from the time in the 90s when it used to be the hottest thing in mobile communications, and has been regarded as one of the toughest and most long lasting phones ever. Not many people remember the days when mobile phones were basic and came with only the necessary features to make and receive calls, but Nokia does, and has honored the 3310 by recreating it, with new and modern features as a tribute to yesteryear.

The 3310 Nokia was one of the best selling phones and it came with very basic features, however, the newer model comes with a few more adjustments and modifications to add to its already endearing features, such as Bluetooth connectivity, FM radio, a classy camera and a 512-memory card for that extra storage capacity. This phone was typically heavy because it weighed more than 130 grams, which is typically heavier than what phones weigh these days, but it had a compact shape and many internal features such as the calculator, several games and the ability to handle long character messages, which wan new in the 90s.

The newer model tries to shave off some weight on the phone, give it a more subtle design and lighten the battery in order to have a simple design with a lot of functionality. Also, while making the phone, Nokia did not want to take too much out of it because in order to retain some of the heritage the phone carries with it, the new model needed to have a lot of similarity to the previous version.

The best thing about the 3310 is that you have the option of customizing not just the settings inside but also the phone's external look. Many people took advantage of that and created their own versions of the phone, changing the color and external layout of the body to cater to a wider market and in order to attract customers who would appreciate the opportunity to have their favorite color on the cover. All this was due to the phone's unprecedented success in the market.

The in built features which allow the user to compose their own melody to use either as a reminder or ringtone was also a winner and encouraged phone companies to head in the same direction, which led to a lot of companies over-marketing the same feature. The new 3310 also comes with a reminder for those important events and meetings you need to attend. It also has a download option for the times when you want to add to the in-built features or just customize the existing ones.

The Nokia 3310 will always be a memorable piece of equipment, which will remind people of its importance and the role it played in making news and information easy to transmit. Although the features were a little basic, the phone still remains the most reliable mobile phone ever. The new version is available from any Nokia outlet or licensed distributor.
