When I was in elementary school many years ago, the main competition in my social circle was Nokia and Blackberry. When the iPhone came out, all of my friends abandoned their Nokias and Blackberry's. Never to be seen again.

Those fucking ringtones... the nostalgia OVERLOAD.

Ah, yes. Back when phones could actually fit in one's pocket.

Amazing that mobile dialup servers and £1/week SMS horoscope services are still kept up and running.

love this phone I would spend 10p a minute looking up pixelated porn pictures on it in my youth

I once threw a Nokia 3310 at the wall at school. Had to pay for wall repairs.

I still have a Nokia 5190 which is used as my emergency phone in the car. Somehow, that NiCd battery STILL works. I have honestly no idea how it still works, but it does.

I remember them talking a lot about WAP at university. That was fucking pointless wasn't it!

Funny how these phones look like toys now! But I had one, even had a crazy led case that would flicker all kinds of lights when I got a call!

These types of mobile phones are still incredibly important in 3rd world countries, where there simply isn't the bandwidth to support smartphones, or they're too expensive. BBC Click covered them a couple of years ago - they're use to deliver farming reports, weather information and even online banking to parts of Africa.

when I was in elementary, my school prohibited students to bring mobile phones that's why I used to hide my 3310 inside my brief because the school checks every student's pocket every morning and all phones were confiscated. if you want to get your phone back, you need to ask your parents to get it for you. every time someone texts me or calls me, it really tickles my balls. haha! my teacher oftentimes hear the vibration but couldn't find it. hahaha!

6:00 I never had a nokia phone, but that ringtone Always gives me a nostalgia-like feeling. :)

damn man this brings back memories... I remember making my own ring tones as a kid but I never used them since I was only 6 and had noone to call ;-;

The Nokia ringtone just makes me think of that sketch on Trigger Happy TV :)

3:47 Seeing the Google logo on this phone is very surprising for me because I've always wondered how modern websites would look on an old device haha I'm such a nerd 😂

When I was a kid I asked for a 3330 and got one on my birthday. I used it to access the WAP version of the Ali G Translator, and I downloaded all the extra levels for Space Impact. It was beautiful.

Love that phone! Still got mine in the cupboard with a new battery inside but the AC power adapter broke, so I just keep mine for the sake of nostalgia. Also our budgie loved _Fool about_ :D I myself screamed inside every time I accidentally pressed the Internet button tho as all I have is a prepaid plan which got empty faster than one might imagine when doing that mistake. Also, the original 3310/3330 beats the new 3310 they show on MWC these days.

Can it run Doom, though?

I still have my 3390. I once briefly considered getting rid of it back in highschool. What stopped me is kind of a funny story. So I was not the only one to have one of those phones in school. There were plenty floating around. I remember one girl was having a really bad argument/breakup over the phone during lunch time. She was screaming and crying... you know the typical. Eventually she threw her nokia hard down the school hallway. It slid all the way down and then bounced against the far wall bouncing back some. She walked over and picked it up.... *bleep bleepity bleeping phone still bleeping works bleep bleep bleep* Yeah.... I decided after that I would keep mine. I still use it today.

1:14 2002: WAP was Internet 2020: WAP is food or the other meaning

Back in around 2004 or so, I had some small Nokia phone that had no camera built-in but for $35-$45 you can buy an accessory camera that attached to the bottom of the phone to take pictures of something like 800x600 or something... I think I still got pictures from that thing on one of my old computers that I just tossed in storage, or it might be on a laptop hard drive that I stripped out of my broken laptops and is in my junk pile. I can't even believe touch screen phones like the iphone weren't even a thing even in 2004. But I guess, mobile hardware were in its limits. And limits of CPU nano size and limits of battery tech.

i used to teather my laptop over IR to my 6610i to get internet over wap and gprs.

the unbreakable phone

By using Nokia 3330 I will never have a thought CIA is listening because of the horrible internet speeds.

Kinda funny how that website you made is completely unfunctional on my modern phone :P

Thank you so very much from a Nokia 3330 original owner back in the day! I still remember my dad paying for it with a shoe box full of old Spanish money just because I wanted a phone with infrared to play snake with my friends. I never used the functionality because when my friends actually got around to own one of this phones I had a Motorola 525 with 3g and bluetooth capabilities. It turns out that 5 yo kids didn't have the power to convince fathers that everyone else had one. Aaaaaah, the good old early 2000's...

Those tunes and space impact 😃.... There is so much nostalgia in this video.

Really cool that you made a version of your website in WML. I just had to try it on my sony ericsson w800i and it worked fine. :)

If I believe the MAD2W21 processor in the Nokia was based on the ARM7TDMI which indirectly uses the same arm infrastructure as the Yamaha aica sound chip in the dreamcast (the more you know bah bon dun)

Right, that's it, I'm downloading those tones onto my BB Android RIGHT NOW.

I remember getting my 3330 and I was in love with it and I was the envy of all my friends. Also, your own ringtone maker, the nostalgia! ^_^

I had a Nokia 3330 from the start, but the WAP feature was barely advertised, and it was a year or two before I realised it had this. This was at a period where Internet access from a PC and a fixed line was common, but Wi-Fi wasn't. I started using the WAP regularly when realised it was cheaper to check my e-mails using that than to pay the bus fare to the university computer labs.

I'm so glad we have smart phones now. I remember people used to go through their ring tones and text tones when they were bored. Granted it would seem that at least people are starting to finally catch on to putting the damn things on silent. So many people at my school would just have their phone making constant noise because they didn't know how to stop notifications for everything.

I subscribed. Now all i have to do is to watch all your videos. :)

Thank you for bringing back space impact memories for me, used to love that game

How do you only have 66k subscribers?! Your videos are all super high quality and very entertaining. Keep up the great work.

The custom welcome screen takes me back, I remember setting all different fonts etc., every morsel of customisation was amazing back then :D I genuinely think they were the best era of mobile phones, my 3510 lasted for a week with texting, playing Snake, and two weeks if you left it alone. The colour 3510i was noticeably worse, even before the real battery killer touchscreens came along (my N95 was similarly bad).

This was my first phone, strong nostalgia. I can even remember the smell!

5:58 - You forgot to turn down the volume a bit! .-.

really enjoyed your trip down memory lane with the Nokia, they made some good phones, I can't help but collect them.. lol

great vid thanks for posting!

Did anyone actually use WAP? It was just teletext but cost 20p a page and when you're on £5 credit that was extortionate.

the Nokia ring tone was a punch to the face of nostalgia

wow , recognized every ringtone within a sec. Nostalgia overflowing!

I have fantasies of getting really good at programming and just going full C64 for my computing needs.

I'm not sure if the 3330 was released here in Australia or not, I had a 3310, I bought it in 2002 and I loved it. Of course the 3310 didn't have WAP access or some of the features found on the 3330. I didn't know that Orange sold these phones, I got my 3310 from Optus. Yay for the Techmoan reference.

I used mine to access my Yahoo Mail account and get news headlines back in the day. Great phone for it's time.

Wow! I love when you played the preloaded ringtones. That was such a throwback!

Damn..that's hurdy gurdy tone...that's really bring me nostalgia..my favorite ringtone..

Nokias are still seriously tough little things. I have a Nokia 520 from a few years back, and I've dropped it several dozen times, several of which were onto concrete, and you'd really have to pay VERY close attention to it to even see any signs of damage. Meanwhile I dropped both an old samsung feature phone and a Samsung tablet considerably fewer times and the damage is far more visible and dramatic. (Still not enough to kill either device. Not even close. But in terms of cosmetic damage there's no comparison.) Nokias are tough. Even modern ones.

dude, this is one of the best videos you have ever done! I've not heard them ring tones since i was a teenager!!

one of the best retro phones ever, I had one, had my own case on it and ofc downloaded a personalized ring tone

Now max out your data plan with *that*.

Nice @Techmoan shout out.

So much nostalgia from those ring tones. I remember looking through magazines to text and get new ones. I remember getting excited by polyphonic ring tones

I still have this phone as secondary phone.😎. I love this.

6:06 The first thing I thought at this ringtone was "Imaginary Places" by Busdriver from Tony Hawk's Underground

5:35 Nobody saw that, there is nothing there.

Got a 3310 for my 17th birthday back in 2002. when you played those ringtones I almost cried lol

Bring so much memories, thanks.

Someone at Vodafone “holy shit guys someone is using the dial up!”

Techmoan !!LOL

This is so nostalgic!

Hello! Nostalgia my friend! You turn me more than 15 years back! I really appreciate it continue the good job! I didn t know actually that Nokia 3310 had internet service! I m surprised!

you shoud make bbs telnet portal instead of wap site.

6:00 -*HELLO?* -*I'M WATCHING NOSTALGIA NERD.* -*NOOSTAALGIAA. NEERRD.* -*WHAT?* -*NO, IT'S SHIT!*

I had one with the jack Daniels cover..it was awesome!! You make this guy turn in melancholy state..

I LOVE NOKIA JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO MAN

You are sounding more and more like Clint from LGR!

Hi, I'm crying.

Aahhh nostalgia! The feels! 😍

Extremely awesome to see this.

Actually Looney Toons is now spelled Looney Tunes. Mandela Effect much!?

The browser of this phone gave me nightmares

Woah! Too cool! Thanks for introducing me to the concept "WML", it's also interesting that there was an extension for Google Chrome that allows Chrome to display it. :D

I've got a 3310 and shortly after upgraded to the 3410 that was in the first year of secondary school (high school), man the nostalgia is overwhelming.

better than I phone

This video is the COOLEST thing I've seen in a LONG time!

dude i been here abit you definitely deserve way more subs

F-- brilliant man. I was in Junior High when this phone came out. I used the Nokia 635 and 640 and switched to the LG K10 with T Mobile USA. Who would ever have thought of always on LTE in 1998? I swear its amazing.

The memories dude. The memories!!!

My mom had these and she used to give me her old ones when she was done with them and got a new one. These were so cool!

Great video! These phones were from before my time but still interesting to see.

thank you...that ringtone editor made me emotional

One of the most beautiful and iconic design of all time.. still love the design till now.

Great video, have had alot of phones, loved the Nokia but after my first android in 2009 I never looked back.

Oh the Nostalgia. My first phone was the 3310 and those ringtones...

This is fantastic! I remember using WAP back in the day. It was so slow, but fun to use. I thought it was amazing to have the "internet" in my pocket! :-)

I enjoyed this review more than those for new phones.

I remember upgrading from a Motorola 520 to a Nokia 3410 in the early 2000s, It was insane! I never really used the browser though, my very young self couldn't stomach using credit on such a "novelty". I have came to depend on my iPhone in these times, but part of me is really waiting to see the new 3310, it has me intrigued :)

thanks for your video. this phone is sooooo classic

I still have a few 3310 / 30s kicking about, I seemed to acquire them from people when I was still using one after everyone moved on. Used it a couple of years ago when my smartphone went missing. I managed to break two over the years! I cracked the screen on one and the other ended up in a pint trying to see how resilient it was when I was pissed. To be fair after a couple not months it dried out and worked again! Greatest phone of all time

i used to customized ringtones, i love it. really nostalgic.

Wow, that's amazing. Great video!

Nice! I remember when I saw phone carrier adverts in the newspapers and they mentioned stuff like "polyphonic ringtones" and "MMS"...

i can't believe that you can connect to the internet using wap!!!!!awesome!!!!!!!

Glorious masterphone race!

Our first household mobile was a 5110i. Brick of a phone. I loved it

That end tune, defiantly nostalgic

Nokia was the king of mobile phones. It had the most expensive phones. It was tightly collaborated with mobile phone carriers. Many subscribers preferred higher monthly contracts for a cheaper Nokia phone. Nokia software was revolutionary for its time with many many innovations. I remember that many people were avoiding to change brand because Nokia was the easiest and most straightforward. Nokia was the first to fully embrace the unexpected SMS revolution. It offered messages beyond the default 160 characters and icons which were only recognizable between Nokia phones. It was a nice practice because many people preferred Nokia in order to be compatible with the other Nokia phones of friends or partners. Nokia unwillingly had created an ecosystem between its phones similar to iOS. Until early 2000 phone calls were very expensive and the SMS market was huge and very profitable. Also it introduced games that could be played between Nokia phones through infrared connection, like the unforgettable snake. Nokia was a trendy item like the iPod and iPhone later. And we should not forget that Nokia produced the first practical mobile phone with camera which could send MMS. MMS wasn't successful like SMS because it was too expensive but phones with cameras became popular and affordable very fast after 2002. Nokia was offering at least a week of true mobile usage before recharging and some models even two weeks. I remember friends who were recharging their phone only three times per month. This battery autonomy is unthinkable today but was a serious criterium for choosing a mobile phone and Nokia was the best on that. During late 90's mobile internet was ridiculously expensive and only Nokia Communicator which was initially based on a intel 386 desktop underpowered CPU could offer some basic browsing and email potential. The WAP was a fiasco. I have tried it many times with the revolutionary at the time GPRS. For browsing ten WAP enabled websites five euros were needed. Very few major websites were WAP compatible with very little content. It was good for emergency use but not at all for every day mobile internet. Of course professionals could use their mobiles phones as a modem for their laptops everywhere. All premium mobiles phones could connect during late 90's through infrared or serial proprietary cable. USB awash ambiguous yet. The internet speed was between the basic 9kbits or GPRS 50Kbits. Enough for checking emails with small photos or very slowly opening a few websites. Professionals were having profits by using the internet and very expensive mobile internet didn't matter at the end of the day. However the professionals who truly needed mobile internet was a niche market. Mobile phone manufacturers and mobile carriers didn't have any serious profits for investing on fast mobile internet. After all the first generation of mobile phones was targeted only to professionals and for that only it wasn't profitable. Nokia had very robust phones too. (My iPhone 4 had a serious problem with the central button. My iPhone 5 had a permanent problem with the power button and the display. My iPhone 6 after two years had a devastating problem with the battery. I don't know what will appear with iPhone 7 plus.) My Nokia phones were nearly indestructible. The display wasn't crashed after many falls. It was a little scratched but that was not a problem for just selecting phone contacts or viewing SMS messages. I could use it safely with wet hands at the beach or during skiing. iPhone on the other hand demands a protective case or a screen protector. That protections methods were unheard for Nokia phones of 90's. Nokia not only had tremendously large autonomy but it was easy to change the battery with a full recharged in a free seconds. Which premium smartphones allows that today? Nowadays is very common to end without battery after ten hours of playing games or browsing. For a 90's Nokia phone that was unbelievable and unacceptable. During 90's and early 2000 people had mobile phones. Today there aren't mobile phones. There are just pocket computers with cameras which can connect to internet through the mobile data networks and make calls.
