Nokia have brought out a new brick phone, and it’s transporting us back to a simpler time

And before you ask, yes, it has Snake.

Ahh, 2002. A simpler time. Where your phone battery lasted for about two weeks and if you were spending €100 to get a screen fixed, it must have been the screen door of your mobile home in Wexford, because your phone one certainly would not be breaking. I fondly remember my first Nokia 3310. I got it just after my confirmation, and it was a hand-me-down from a girl who lived around the corner. I didn’t even swap out the sim card, I kept her number and all. Felt extremely popular getting a rake of texts that were actually meant for her. I never had credit to write back to any of them though – I’d spent it all buying ringtones from the back page of KISS magazine. Obviously.

And now it’s time for a new generation to experience the durable reliability of a good aul blockia. Will they be able to make TikToks on it? Probably not. Will they be able to drop it off the top of a building and still be able to make calls with it? Absolutely.

Nokia’s new 66310 has just been released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original device. It’s got a tough exterior which promises to “take life’s bumps”, and has retained the iconic silhouette of the original. It’s got all the old features like Snake (essential) and a battery “that can go weeks between charges”. If you’ve had just about enough of the fragility of your iphone, it could be time for a switch up. Read more about the 6310 HERE.
