Against the backdrop of highly functional and fashionable smartphones, it's time to remember how it all began. In the late nineties, the mobile phone market was just beginning to develop, and what now seems plain and uncomfortable was then fashionable and stylish. The good old Nokia 3310 again reminds millions of retro fans from all over the world.
Now is the time of high technologies, which delight people with new opportunities at every step. No one will argue with the fact that it is very convenient and makes life easier for a person. This is especially true when it comes to modern mobile devices, because an unimaginable number of functions are collected in one device. It would seem that having received such opportunities, people have nothing to remember, but nevertheless, a device was found that causes nostalgia.
Ah, that old and amazing phone
Probably, there is not a single person who does not remember the beginning of the 21st century and the Nokia 3310 mobile phone. The device, which entered the world market in 2000, captivated representatives of all walks of life, and its sales broke all possible records. This phone was used by almost every person, and everyone was very pleased, because at that time it was the first copy,which had "smart" features. Its compact size brought long-awaited convenience to people, because there has not yet been a device that would fit in the palm of your hand.
Giant of the turn of the century - functionality with a bang
The Nokia 3310 mobile phone is remembered by people because of its feature set. The brightest of them and absolutely new for the people of that recent time were:
- the ability to choose a ringtone from the presented 35;
- program for creating your own melodies;
- the presence of four games;
- T9 dictionary, which almost everyone actively used;
- calculator, alarm clock, timer and currency converter;
- the ability to select the main screen saver.
It was very convenient that, in addition to connecting the charger, you could connect headphones to your mobile phone. The Nokia 3310 display was considered quite large at that time, because its dimensions were 84x48. This setting made it possible to play games freely.
Active device always online
A clear advantage of this phone model was the ability to connect to almost any mobile network. Its display always showed the name of the network, as well as the sound profile, clock, battery status, and availability of mobile operator coverage. Everyone remembers its gray color. Despite the relatively compact size of the Nokia 3310, the manufacturers of the mobile device managed to add, in addition to buttons with numbers from 1 to 9, asterisks and bars,5 more on top. These were the buttons to enter the main menu, hang up and answer calls, turn off the power and return to the main screen.
Brick wasn't that bad
Once upon a time, this phone model was given a non-standard name because of its rather large weight of 133 grams. But today there is practically no such reliable device left. The Nokia 3310 phone, whose battery could last more than two days in standby mode, is still able to give odds to the most modern smartphone. True, over time, its charging was a little miscalculated, because it was about 3 hours. The device maintained the same time in active communication mode. The Nokia 3310 phone book contained 250 contacts, which was quite enough.
There is something to remember and tell the children about
It is impossible to omit the fact that even now everyone remembers well about the Nokia 3310 phone, reviews and positive comments every day testify to this. People get nostalgic when they remember this nice 133 x 48 x 22 monoblock LCD monoblock. After the release of this phone model, no other option could repeat its success and popularity. Now this rare model is quite difficult to find, and many want to remember their youth and play the Snake game familiar to everyone from childhood.
Complete with the phone, the buyer received a box, instructions and a charger. Nokia 3310, reviews of which are mostly positive, has become a real legend in the worldphones. It worked with one SIM card, which is a rarity nowadays, because now smartphones work with two. Now Nokia manufactures smartphones and phones called Microsoft Lumia and equipped with Windows software. It is these phones that are known to the younger generation, but they could not repeat the popularity of their "grandfather".
Remembering the history of this phone model, at least for one moment I want to go into the past and hold in my hands the familiar “brick” that never breaks. This mobile device without any doubt can be called a real legend. Maybe someday it will return to our world again and become in demand, because all our new is well-forgotten old. When people get tired of the high functionality of one device, they will remember this phone model and return it to the popularity of the early twenty-first century.
