Nokia 3310 was launched in 2000. It sold 126 million units until 2005.
Then,its manufacture was discontinued.
It is sold now on www.Amazon.com, not by company itself.
Combatibility, reliability, sturdiness were just three of the characteristics which consisted a phone called as an "almost indestructible machine". A long-lasted battery was another one.
Key features included a clock, a calculator, the ability to store 10 reminders and 4 preinstalled games: Pairs II, Space Impact, Bantumi and of course the unforgetable Snake II.
HMD is willing to bet on the great comeback. Is it sensible? Customers will decide....The only sure thing is that Nokia 3310 will fight to prove that deserves a second chance.
