The classic Nokia 3310 is back!
It feels nostalgic when seeing the Nokia 3310 back in the market.Those born in the 1990’s and before grew up buying Nokia phones series after series. There’s no denying there was at least one Nokia owner in every household before the arrival of the smartphone.We’ve tried ten years or so of using touch screens and smart devices and now we’ve almost forgotten the good old-fashioned way of communicating.
