Ever miss the days when smartphones weren’t so smart? Sure, having a world of information in our pockets is great, but there was a time where you had to be alone with your thoughts, you couldn’t just open Facebook to avoid making eye contact with anyone while waiting for your coffee at Starbucks.

I think that’s part of the reason people are so nostalgic for the Nokia 3310. The screen size didn’t matter, the processor didn’t matter, the camera didn’t matter, it was as basic as possible, but it was the perfect phone for that simpler time.

So, I can’t blame Nokia for waiting to cash in out that with the new 3310. It’s based on the original, but has some updated features, almost as if Nokia had made the 3310 today. The new version features a color display, a 2MP shooter, 3G and 16GB onboard storage, all of which were not on the original 3310.

It’s a neat looking phone and at $60, it actually might not be bad for emergencies. Part of me wishes I could drop my smartphone and just start using this, but I know I’m weak, but hey, so is everyone else.

And don’t worry, it comes with snake.

Rewind back to the mid-1990s, and the Nokia 3310 cell phone a favorite for its resilience and sturdiness. Now the Nokia 3310 is apparently set to make a return, almost 17 years after its first launch. Word has it that Nokia is planning to re-launch the 3310 at Barcelona’s upcoming MWC conference.

It looks like the re-launched Nokia 3310 will cost about $63(USD), and apparently the marketing will be all about providing great battery life and impressive durability.

The conference is also expected see the release of three other Nokia phones, the Nokia 3, 5, and 6, which run Android 7.0. But even with shiny new phones on the way, the 3310 still has a fan following. People still love the simple phone calling device in the age of smartphones. And you have to admit, long battery life is a big positive given today’s power-hungry smartphones.
