The new Nokia phones are here: Nokia 6, 5, 3 & 3310

Am I the only person who was hoping for an actual re-vamp of the 3310? ie. a b/w screen (always on, easy to read in direct sunlight). Perhaps updated for 3/4G networks and modern chargers, and maybe without some of the bugs.

Right now I'm rocking an ageing 8310; the buttons are worn out and, one of the more interesting problems with running a 'classic' phone is that the contacts erode a modern SIM card every 6 months or so.

Today we got a curvy 'featurephone' with a camera, which is valid, but feels like that's something already out there.

I was hugely disappointed when it turned out that it's not remotely similar to the 3310.

They've basically created a generic featurephone and piggybacked on the glory of the 3310, which was anything but generic.

I highly doubt the new 3310 will be even slightly as durable as the old one.

It has more in common with Nokia 6300 than with the 3310, IMO.

As zbuf said, I was also hoping for a 3G or newer modem, 2G networks are being shut down in many parts of the world and will continue to go down in the next couple of years.

I was, too. 2G is getting shut down in Australia, so this new thing is useless to me.
