This was a great walk down memory lane. I’m 30 and one of these was my first cell phone. Gotta say I felt pretty advanced at 12 with one of these in my pocket. Probably wouldn’t have pestered my mom for one so much if I knew how much time I’d be spending on a phone in the future!

Wished more tech companies allowed for plug and play with their technology. Older technology was just what it needed to be and nothing more, it was great.

Back in my day, mobile phones had rotary dials and you had to ask the operator to connect you with a piece of string.

This hits me right in my nostalgia!

Still have my old 32 and 3310 in a drawer somewhere at home, has a ton of shell and button swaps. Easily the beat series of thr most user friendly phone designs ever 👌

I remember using my Sony Ericsson K800i for as long as I could. It's amazing how capable it was when it was the only phone I had. Ran Facebook, KZfaq, music, movies

Oh yeah.. old phone cases 🥰 Back in my days I worked in a paint shop and made a lot of fancy colors for me and my friends. As they won't need much color, I had a bit of a charter from my boss to do so, at least if I won't do hundred😁 And look at us now: we hardly can't change a battery in our new phones without big tech🙄

Not my first phone ever , but like 2nd or 3rd & loved it back then. My grandmother who passed 4yrs ago went to our local mall for shopping , movie & food. She was the best grandma, anyway she would always surprise us with more stuff, like granny you got us so much already clothes , videos games, movie, food , etc. Anyway I'm rambling, she brought us over to phone place & bought me & my sis that phone Elliot. Love ur work my dude & ur video, keep them coming 👍

love the 3310. i carried this while lodging + hiking in the retezat mountains in 2013, and i was one of the only ones that got usable signal. amazing phone.

Actually, the leaking pixels on that type of LCD screen are reversable. I have a Japanese import Game Boy Pocket that had a splotch of pixel leakage near the center of the screen. By actually using it, the screen fixed itself over time. It's not perfect, but it's better than when I got it.

The nostalgia hit me hard, almost like these phones would hit the floor lmao Aw man, if only these still worked with modern chips, I would gladly have my old Nokia back.

Ah, Nokia 3310, my first phone and the best phone ever. Texting was super easy, I could type messages without looking at the screen. Elliot, just be careful not to drop it, it will crack your floor.

Nokia is literally pure nostalgia to me. Their phones still fascinate me!

Beautiful how simple it is to replace and update it! Loving that new shell-- looks amazing!

I love playing snake on those old Nokia phones

the watching you repair and be excited is always so much fun i used to have that phone but i never liked the after market shells/buttons, because they were way less precise and felt kinda mushy.

Oh my days! I'm old enough to remember when these were the nuts, and going to a shop, or even better the market to get various snap on covers to be individual made you soooo cool!! There were shops and market stalls that only catered to this! Great trip down memory lane!!

I do miss those old Nokia Xpress-on covers. I remember markets and bargain stores being awash with them, or at least knockoff versions. Which were fine. Not only could you make your phone a personalized item, but they extended the lifespan of a perfectly working phone, by allowing a simple and cheap method of refreshing the appearance once one was starting to look weather-worn. Couple of quid, your phone's as good as new. So many phones are binned now, purely because they start looking tatty after a year or two of use.

My first mobile phone was a Nokia 3210, the just older brother to this one. Such a lovely and basically indestructible piece of kit.

my first phone was the Nokia 3310. I felt so grown up having one. used to send picture messages to my sister, the ones that could "move" like a GIF were my favourite and collecting the fascias (cases) and swapping them out every so often :) my favourite game was snake 2 and I beat it so many times.

This was so awesome to see 😂 such sweet nostalgia! I 100% agree we've gone backwards in tech. Not just in repair but also in design and aesthetic. You don't see a lot of colors and eye catching designs anymore!

Simply the fastest restore I've seen. Love it

Your videos are so wholesome, thanks for making content!

Damn straight I have a whole draw at home with old phones from over the years and loved them all.

Been collecting old Nokias for around a decade, really love the older models as they are very modular and quite easy to repair. Kudos on fixing yours! 💯

I really miss my Nokia 3220. It has blinking light up side grips and you could get plates for it that had light in them as well. Nicest little phone I ever had.

I'm pretty sure this was the first phone I ever had! That thing was damn near indestructible. They sure don't make them like they used to.

What a blast from the past that was my first phone I ever owned

Wow. I can't believe how easy that was! I have an old of clamshell phone that looks brand new that I've always wanted to try to use but I need to buy a charger. You've inspired me ha. Also, that screwdriver is awesome!

My grandmother had one when I was little. Snake and Space Impact were the absolute blast.

Nostalgia, kind of. My second phone was Nokia 3210 and it was basically as strong as 3310. Loved the custom covers

i used this phone actually back in 2001-2003 and it was amazing and the whole life was better back in then, just calls, sms and some crazy picture messages.. nowadays people feel suffocated if they forget the phone at home.. this addiction it's really bad. miss those days

This was actually super cool to watch! Thanks Elliot - more of this please :D

back on those days i had a case for it with led lights how nostalgic remembering it makes me happy

This is awesome! I had one of those back in the day. Good memories.

I never had a 3310, but I had a 3315 when I was really young. It is insanely nostalgic, and is so great for a phone at its time!

I had a Nokia 6225 back in '03/'04, loved that thing!

I still have my Nokia 8210, it was the first GSM phone when ATT Wireless switched to GSM from TDMA. It works still able to make calls and play games! Nokia really was ahead in the 1990's sadly with them putting all the money behind Symbian OS and the NGAGE really hurt them. I have had multiple phone from Nokia through out the years but the 8210 was the only one I kept. Glad to seeing this phone getting love

Nokia 3310 will guide us

OMG I love this video 💞 please do more of these!

It just so easy to mess with it, maybe newer phones should take notes from Nokia

I absolutely love not only collecting but also using old and retro tech.

You made the video about the Nokia! Great! Thank you Elliot. You may look for some phones to refurb and this can become a series. There are interesting phones such as Nokia N-Gage, Sony Xperia Play, Nokia 5200, Nokia 3220, Blackberry Phones, Motorola Razr.

That brings me memories... I remember I used to make a lot of ringtones using a website back then... I had Saria Song as my main tone!!... Ahhhh good times!!... Good times!! ☺️

I had this phone in high school. And even had it customized with all transparent case, main frame, battery and blue led lights on the screen and keypad. Also, had the screen inverted

I lolled when I saw the new case, 90s to the max!

So nostalgic and love the case! Those were the good days when a phone was a phone and lasted well over a week on a charge. Plug the thing in indestructible.

I still have mine from back in the day, always kept it in prestine condition.

holy shit, this brings back so many memories

Thanks for taking it apart and showing us how serviceable this phone is. Not that I had any doubt about it, but it's good to have proof. Now that you got the thing up and running, have fun! Take it with you skateboarding, cycling, freerunning, whatever you fancy doing, cuz this phone is not gonna feel heavy in your pocket and it's certainly not going to fall apart. 💪Fuck social media and TikTok and all that crap! People have forgotten how to have fun outside without any technology.

Even street vendors used to sell those 3rd-party replacement cases in Venezuela back in the day.

6:03 - The _Snake Roy_ remake is looking lit

I honestly miss the old Nokia's and the 1990's/2000's in general. It was just better times. Those 3310's look mega with coloured clear plastic cases like the gameboys, its a shame they dont work here in Australia anymore as we've ditched the GSM network long ago.

It's a reliable phone. You could find a lot of accesories for it back in its glory days like RGB body shell, joystic over the buttons and other cool stuff.

Just for the reparability of this phone I’m in awe and envious. Modern phones can do anything but being repaired, and that’s actually a really important thing, even if it’s just for the environment and/or the money they cost.

People used to take this phone to a shop where a repairman replaced the LED's to have any vibrant colour(or whatever is desired) to make it look cool. Mine had red for the buttons and blue for the screen.

OMG what a treasure!!! I've always wanted a space impact port to another platform someday

i want one too now, great video, love that shell

Got bunch of old phones with spare parts laying around. Those were so easy to fix.

I love ur vids I watch all of your vids ❤️❤️❤️

Love this content!

These guys are tanks!

This was my first phone in 2004-2005, with AT&T service. Nice one Elliot.

love this channel

Damn! Out here with the fresh new content

Good vid Elliot,this Phone is epic👍💪

My Mother is 77, and she has one like that for ages, i have a new one for replacement but even if she lives 100 or more that wont be needed, these old Nokias were built to last forever!

I had one too. Veeery durable. Spent a ton of hours on snake and the shoot'emup. I start to consider switching to using one now too...

Looks very cool and Nokia was well ahead of it's time.

Congrats to your new Nokia 👏 I still have and use my Nokia 3100. It's great to use old-school phones and get a bit offline with the world.

I had one of these wen I was like 17, back wen a fone battery lasted like a week and u could drop ur fone without fear of cracking ur screen. Life seemed so much more simpler and easier back then but that could b the time of my life back then

The memories. I can’t tell you the number of times I pulled apart a 5110 or 3110 back when they were new.

Snake 2 and the alien game on the 3310 were both insanely good games

I think literally everyone owned one of these style Nokia's (this or a model like it) back in the day. Then the Motorola Razr came out and when it became affordable I think everyone had one of those for a while too. The repairability of that thing is incredible. You won't see anything like that made today!

I collect Nokia’s from it’s absolute hay day ( between 2003 and 2007 ). Have almost all the N series models I want. And I have a 3310 with a build in MP3 player also known as: Nokia 5510

I cannot tell you how much time I spent playing snake on all my old phones. Good times!

hold the phone a minute!...since when did snake use the 'up' and 'down' arrow? i always played with the number pad as in 2,4,6,8 for the controls, wow you learn something new everyday, love this type of video, real nostalgia, thanks Elliot 💯 👍

i had my dads 1100 for a little bit in 2010 while my iphone 3g was getting fixed. loved snake and a game with a space ship...

Nice. These were bullet proof AF. From a time when phones broke other things. I had this after a 5110 which was my first phone....after owning a pager as a teenager :/ The 8210 was great too. I remember having to use the phone network and SMS just to set up a custom screensaver and it seemed like witchcraft at the time! :) Before easy access to the internet, well before even the crazy frog infiltrated phones.

I'm 36, I remember having a 3310 many many moons ago.

The standby time is amazing on that phone, sometimes I forgot to charge it it had that long standby time

I used to throw that thing across the room and it would shatter into 5 pieces and then I would put it back together and it worked fine. It was my MAIN phone for at least a year. Fun party trick. Can't do all that now.

That it’s so beautiful was so beautiful.

The phone looks amazing. Hope you are both doing well ❤

You have truly become a dankpods parody

Those phones had all kinds of bells and whistles pluss lights to make it yours. 😊 Never had one. Ever.

Nice one! I found my old Nokia 1650 last year; I've been using since... Cheers!

This was the first mobile phone I ever touched. Back in 4th or 5th grade, some plumber or somebody came home and out his phone on charging. I played the games on it. And kept nagging my dad to buy a mobile phone for 2 years. Dad finally bought a nokia 1600 in my 6th grade summer holiday. I'm still angry that my mum gave it away to my aunt in 9th grade when dad bought a new nokia 2626.

I had the Nokia 3330 in a Scream movie shell. Looks identical to the 3310. I wish I wouldn't have given it away, though. It's still my favorite phone to date, despite all the high tech nowadays. Currently walking down memory lane with an original Tamagotchi. Love it so much! :D

I had one of these ❤

Takes me back to when I was in high school with one of these, working at the mall selling cinnamon rolls making 7$ an hour, thought I had it all figured out haha

I am definitely buying one of these when i get my first phone. Indestructible, it serves it purpose quite well, and you aren't gonna find yourself staring at it all day (:

I still have my old 3310 and it could connect to the internet to

I remember having this phone when I was a freshman in high school.

Would love to see a day in the life of using retro tech as your daily driver.

I just ordered a Sony Xperia play last week. Hasn't come yet but it's rad

Better phones than today in every way possible.

I still have my old Backberry Bold and LG Shine. Sure, smartphones can do pretty much everything. But I really like the diversity of the "dumbphones" design's.

It should be a Crime to replace the OG Case with a shitty 3rd Party one...

OMG i miss doing phone repairs on these devices, it indeed was like 1, 2 , done. like a count to 3 took longer 😛
