Guess which phone it is... The Nokia 3310

The Nokia 3310 is known as a strong and rugged phone, you'll surely agree with me when I say It is the strongest for its size. It was announced on September 1, 2000. As at that time time it was considered a Hi-tech phone.

Looking back you'll wonder how time flies and realize how much technology has developed rapidly from the beginning of the new millennium till now. Today we have smartphones with amazing features which leaves one at awe. 

In case you've forgotten the features of the Nokia 3310 and how it feels, let me remind you:

It is a very solid phone, see this funny one... Lol

It measured 113 x 48 x 22 mm and weighed 133g

It had a monochrome 84 x 48 pixel display

It supported almost any network

The 900 mAh battery had a standby time of about 260 hours (almost 11 days) which meant the phone lasted for a very long time between charges. There are a lot of funny meme about it such as the one below;

The phone could store 250 contacts, and had T9 predictive input, 35 ringtones, a clock, stopwatch, timer, calculator, currency converter and a tone composer.

It had various Xpress-On covers

Do you remember how you operated it?

The top side of the phone had a power button, and navigation through the menus was performed with the up and down arrow keys, with selections chosen via the blue menu button. The “c” button meanwhile took on duties of “back”, “undo” and “delete”, and the keypad itself was responsive and easy to use.

Remember the games too?

Snake II, Space Impact, Pairs II, Bantumi

The phone sold about 126 million units and is one of the most successful phones till date.


I doff my hat to the Big Boss of phones.
