There is an urban myth that a. The 3310 cannot be hacked b. It is better at picking up a weak signal. Both are wrong. However for those with only intermittent connection to the grid ( Bear Gryls. Brighton commuters and rough sleepers) it is great news.

I spend about £3 a year when I am into heavy usership on my mobile. Have had the same number for twenty odd years and don't know what it is.

The phone is in the car glove box.

If I get another one with the snake game on, it might even be brought indoors sometimes.

The man drawer in our house contains at least 5 old Nokia 3310s.

Found them during a clear out, bit it wasn't the geriatric phones that I laughed at, it was..... the phone covers!

One or two belonged to my daughter who got her first Nokia 3310 when she was starting high school aged 12

She will be 30 this year

I can understand why you are looking forward to getting a basic phone again.

Nokia brand. And near enough what we knew as Nokia phones.

When the family presented me with a (bottom of the range) smartphone last year I decided to keep my Nokia as a backup phone on a payg tariff. Had it for years. It’s a C3, has a full keyboard, looks like a poor man’s Blackberry and the battery lasts for at least a week. Great for just calls and texts. But poor for internet, as the screen is small.

I have always had the most basic,cheapest mobile phone available but I think I might really indulge myself now I have heard the news.

Nokia are bringing back the 3310 at £49, much more than I would normally pay but the phone I want.

Can't wait!
