Nokia 3310, the lost ark in the darkness of smartphones. It took 2000 years to create the phone! Where only 17 years to rebuild the 3G module. Strong has become smart, coming as Nokia 3310 3G. Drop it like its Nokia, literally.

Color Variants

Updated 2017 Nokia 3310 was redesigned and fabricated by HMD Global. As they say, the new home of Nokia phones. A new version of 3G supported Nokia 3310 3G arrived in Australia and then in the UK. October 29th is the chosen day to release these bubbles in the US.

$59.99 might be worthy unless you prefer cheap Amazon android phones. Addition begets deduction in Nokia 3310 3G battery. Due to activated 3G talk time downgraded to 6.5 hours and music playback 40 hours. Though Standby time stands where it was at 27 days.

Who buys these phones? Might be a legit question in 2017. Nokia 3310 has a camera which is only good for snaps to make memes. Physical buttons to remind you of the good old days. Snake, the iconic retro game, also comes with the package in the 2.4-inch colored display. It has single and Dual sim variants. But it can be a good company in your hiking or long trail around the country. Might prove you weaker than the phone itself.

US Citizens

Pre-order is going on in Best Buy for the updated 3G version. But the butt of this 3G phone works only for GSM carriers. So AT&T and T-mobile seem to stand out CDMA carriers like Verizon or Sprint.
