Iconic Feature Phone Nokia 3310 Coming Back this Month, VentureBeat Says (venturebeat.com)

The iconic Nokia 3310 feature phone is all set for a return, according to a report. VentureBeat adds: HMD Global Oy, the Finnish manufacturer with exclusive rights to market phones under the storied Nokia brand, is planning to announce four such handsets at Mobile World Congress later this month, according to a person briefed on the company's plans. Known primarily for its plentiful battery life and nearly indestructible build, the 3310 was released at the turn of the millennium as a replacement to the also-popular 3210.

    I had a 7110. Great phone, eternal standby (seriously, you charged it once a week and it had no problem retaining that power) and back then that spring-mechanism was just way too cool.

    Only thing that bothered me, and that eventually broke, was that antenna stub. Without that it would have been the perfect phone. Very rugged, near indestructible (except for that damn antenna) and that spring mechanism worked for a surprisingly long time...
