The new Nokia 3310: a tug on the heart strings that failed

02 March 2017
The 3310 is fondly remembered but this does not feel like a genuine attempt to resurrect it.

              it doesn't have anything to do with the old 3310 which was never a good but a mediocre phone! 6310i was the king of that period!

It was never made as a rugged phone. Its no more or less tough than any other Nokia from that period. People just chose to make it the mascot for how phones used o be made because its the most familiar handsome face. Nobody remembers the purpose built tough phones"...

                  Good point. 6250 anyone?

                    i think Nokia launch this device just for people attention and its works. new 3310 is fist on every tech site in their phone list. Nokia can be the better brand instead of Samsung and other... lets see what nokia do next...

                          They failed to understand one of the most basic lessons in business 101: when the brand is your most valued asset, *always* protect the brand.

                          Let me translate this to their executives: it means NO "get rich fast" kind of schemes. Or things like "new coke"...

                              The Nokia 3310 are probably just made to get some attention to the Nokia brand again. And the PR seems to working. Many sites and newspaper write about it, not just tech sites.

                              But the most important part are the new android line for HMD Global/Nokia. Still relativly low end devices, but in time I guess we some flagship devices to.

                                Yeah, to me it seems more like they designed another feature phone, and then just slapped the 3310 name on it to try and boost sales.‎

                                I think they could have done a lot better.‎ A lot better.

                                  This must be a new collection. Better than any flagship. Hahaa. The top list of daily interest.
