This seems like a Savvy move from Nokia. At least in my country, Nokia phones are remembered for the following:
- nearly indestructible
- well priced
- back pops out
Nokia is doing the most sensible thing to reuse these as its differentiator.
I understand people taking about the OS. But Nokia has little control over the software and it has also never been its selling point for me with Symbian, and later Windows Phone.
I sure miss their wonky phones with weirdly arranged buttons and their random quirks.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoDid Nokia used to manufacture there own phones? Or have they always just done design - like Apple - and someone else manufactured them?
- aspyct 4y agoI applaud this initiative by Nokia, and can't wait to lay my hands on one of those phones when mine dies, but let's be real: it won't be as tough as the 3310.
- shp0ngle 4y agoNokia nowadays has nothing to do with the original company. The name was moved around, first to Microsoft, now it’s some Chinese company I think?
- b1ue64 4y agoHMD Global, a Finnish company, currently runs Nokia's phone business.
- shp0ngle 4y agoOh. For some reason I thought they are Chinese… I guess I confused it with BlackBerry ownership, that’s now… Chinese? I think? I don’t know.
