Nokia 3310 was released 21 years ago, Netizens baffled

Around 21 years ago, Nokia’s “indestructible” 3310 was released on September 1. with a pre-installed iconic Snake game when graphics and phone battery was on nobody’s spec sheet. The phone was touted as a brick, an invincible phone that could bear it all. A nasty drop and the phone’s front and back panels along with the battery disassembled in a million pieces and popping them back in their place meant the phone was good to go.

The tweet shared by Jon Erlichman has sparked memes online.

Four years ago in 2017, Nokia brought 3310 back to the market with a revamped design. Many considered it a market gimmick by Nokia but it was (is) a very capable secondary phone nonetheless. The new Nokia 3310 got a 2-megapixel camera with a LED flash and is readily available for sale in the market today.
