I bought myself a new Nokia phone on the weekend, wanted a second handset so got myself a Nokia 3310 (the new model). Maybe some of that decision was based on nostalgia (my first phone was the original model), but I haven't regretted it. The funny thing is I found a new use for it after I bought it... it allows you to use a 32GB SD card in it, and has an MP3 player app. No big deal there. However, the battery life when just playing back MP3s is allegedly 51 hours! I'm pretty lazy when it comes to charging my devices so I was pretty happy to find that out. :-)
- jacquesm 9y agoDid your SIM fit right away?
- ZenoArrow 9y agoYes. Do you know of an issue with SIMs with this device? Just to be clear, I got the single SIM version rather than the dual SIM version (I didn't know the dual SIM version existed until a moment ago). https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/nokia-3310 https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/nokia-3310 https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/nokia-3310-dual-sim https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/nokia-3310-dual-sim
- jacquesm 9y agoCool. I have one as well as 'backup' phone but my oldie's SIM is too large.
- abawany 9y agoI bought one too. It is a very nice device and the ability to import contacts from Android is very cool. If they ever got some tethering/hotspot ability, I would make a real effort to make it my daily driver.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoThey are nice devices, I agree. With the tethering/hotspot ability, I think that may only be practical after a hardware refresh, as it's a 2G-only phone. Perhaps in future revisions it'll support 3G (or 4G).
- abawany 9y agoI believe the US version has 3G support [1]. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/9/29/16384526/nokia-3310-3g-announced-us-compatibility https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/9/29/16384526/n...

- ZenoArrow 9y agoThere's a 4G version! That's a real surprise!
- abawany 9y agoThis is an exciting development. On reading more, my enthusiasm was a bit damped when I learnt that this model is running a forked version of Android (YunOs) - I am still going to check it out as the appeal of a barebones phone with some of Android's functionality might actually be a pretty cool compromise.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoAh, didn't know that, thanks for the tip.
