Taking a nostalgic look back at the cell phone that so many online consider to be the very symbol of robust build quality in tech: the original Nokia 3310 from the year 2000. And also comparing it to the 5110 and 3390 models that were popular in the USA!

+Rudi Moreira Probably your phone had a really shitty battery then... My first mobile phone was Nokia 3210 (from 1999) and the battery worked without recharging at least three or four days. Of course you had to avoid phone calls but texting did not drain the battery too much. It was very practical if you travelled somewhere for a weekend and forgot to take your phone charger with you. (But I agree - 3 weeks is too much - old phones could not do that.)

Nokia 3310 (and its predecessor - model 3210) was introduced when cell phones started to be much more common. It was the time, when more and more high school (or even middle school) students were able to afford them. So for many of my friends it was "first phone ever". In Poland at the beginning of XXI century owning 3310 was like owning and new iPhone or high-end Android device nowadays. I was using Motorola T205 back then, I simply couldn't afford 3310 in middle school. ;)

My friend had one of these back in the day, she couldn't open the shell with her stubby fingers so every time she needed to access the battery/SIM card or wanted to change shells, she had to open it the hard way... by throwing it to the floor with considerable force. Not only did her shells withhold the constant abuse, the phone was fully functional for years until it was retired for a newer model.

5110 had weak point, shell often snapped on the side of antenna mount. It did not stop working or anything but it really has a weak point compared to 3210 with internal antenna. But hey text messages were old tech when 3310 was new. Even 2110 etc supported SMS. Was it 1610 which was the strange el cheapo GSM without SMS, but 1610i then had the feature even in lowlow end of price range.

@@Karjis It's funny how all these little things were status symbols. The exposed aerial as you say on the 5110, the fact you could only replace the front fascia, and no composer. Having a custom ringtone was a big deal, everyone had to have one, when now most people stick with the default ringtone as it isn't a unique feature anymore. My abiding memory of the 5110 is how the battery and fascia would spectacularly fly off when you dropped it hard, I don't recall the 3210/3310 doing the same, maybe another status thing having to pick bits of your phone up off the floor :D The 3510 was a great phone as well with WAP, which the later 3330 also had (iirc).

@Karjis 4 жыл бұрын
@@mcrecordings Yeap well it was clear timeline. I don't know why I wrote this long post that nobody will read but anyway here it is some history of Nokia era from Finnish perspective. First i remember that in my young days there were 8110 / 3110 that was first smaller units after 2110 and related Nokia (and Mobira) 5000-cityman series which were almost like bricks. 5110 was priced down version from 6110 flaqship at the time. It used the same one soft button style as 3110 but OS was more or less the same as 6110 just lacking some business(ish) features (calendar etc..) And yes the fascia was only thing that you could change but all accessories were compatible with 5110/6110 etc. I remember that 3rd party rear cases were available (especially after 6210 launch) for 5110 that you could change to get internal antenna, but those were more or less cheap and not so well built stuff and reception was not that good as antenna was really not designed as it should. Following 5110 there came 3210 with (at least in nordics) with 2-frequency radio chip and both covers changeable. It also had the ringtone composer but more or less the UI was same as in 5110. 3210 was also the first cheap thing to get predictive text message typing and you could add vibration alarm as it was not standard in at least all units. Then story continued with 3310 with slightly modernized UI and snake II (wohoo?). Then 6000 series was separate more business oriented line where no fascia was removable making it slightly lighter and more robust. 6110 / 6150 being basically the same but only that *50 had 2-band radio. 6210 was more or less at the time of 3210 with predictive text messaging. Then came 6310 with 3 frequency radio and bluetooth (!) etc. I am not sure anymore where vibration came into picture as built-in feature. Also there were this strange 6250 shock-proof version being basically 6210 with more robust frame. I remember well that 6310 (i) was marketed as "worldwide" phone as it was basically first unit you could use in Europe and US (three band radio). It is strange as this kind of features were something to look for separately. Anyway it was nice that 5000/6000 series kept the compatibility of chargers and batteries for a long time. You could swap Li-ion or Li-polymer battery from 6310i era to 5110 and got stupidly light phone that kept on going for 3 weeks with single charge and weight was basically half from the original as 5110 originally had quite heavy Ni-MH battery from factory. Then there where 8000-series stuff which are mostly small. I remember well 8810 "zippo" and then 8210 being one of the lightest phones ever.

The whole 3000-series is legendary. I'm from Finland and I've personally owned the 3110, the 3210 and the 3310. The two latter ones were built like tanks. They had no external antenna and as you said, were shaped like soapboxes with no straight angles so they would take any impact better than the earlier models.. I think I still have them somewhere and I'm pretty sure they'd boot up just like they did in the late 90's / early 2000s. I broke the plastic screen (well, not the actual screen but the cover) of the 3110 when changing tires to a car and really leaned onto the phone in my pocket.. still worked fine though, but that was "a teenager cracking the screen of their mobile phone" in the 90's, which had to be pretty rare back then. :) Another thing to mention is the awesome battery life - on idle these things would last forever. Screens were small, they had no special sensors, no gps, no wifi, no camera. No instagram or whatsapp or snapchat to keep you occupied. Does anyone else remember the time, when you had to call your friend's house on a landline to see if they were home? And if they weren't, you had basically zero chance of knowing where they are? Unless they were at another friend's house when you kept calling them through. "Oh yeah we came to our place after school to play Shadowrun, wanna join us? We're still rolling character stats.." *nostalgia feedback loop*

This was my very first phone! I was living in Russia then, this must've been 2001 or 2002. What a legend. Even had some bootleg chrome cover and keypad for it. Held on two charges a week. Space Impact was the shit, too. Not the most durable in my experience - mine died a few hour after some minor water damage. I traversed the most wonderful journey through Nokia phones since then. I had a Nokia 3100 (with that crazy light-up 'game' cover and ridiculous PT-3 external camera), a sports-style 5410, and Symbian-powered 6680 (most powerful phone ever, I swear) and even an N93 for a little bit. Nothing but fond memories! Then the iPhone broke my Nokia streak. I get truly overwhelmed with nostalgia and uncontrollable grief for the phones of that era. Seeing the ads in a mid-2000s magazine could literally bring a tear to my eye. From the 90s to the mid 2000s phone designs took risks, were fun, inspiring and innovative. But most importantly, they were pleasure to use both in terms of hardware and software. Nokia was always at the forefront with their risk-raking, bold and sometimes odd designs. They ranged wildly, from appealing and soft, to hip and colourful, to wildly customisable to sharp and abrasive. In the early 2000s, there were models with a unique, useless yet gratifying quirk - I remember my sister had a 2100 that had a little window on the back cover, to frame a photo. 8910 and the stainless steel 8800 were aimed at the luxury/business market. The 3200 had unique, vertical oval buttons and completely customisable paper designs that could be placed under the translucent covers. 5510 and 3300 were the first qwerty candy bar phones. The thin 8210 was the smallest phone available when it launched. I hold its successor, the 8310, to be one of the most beautiful phones ever produced. There was the buttonless 7280, the 3650 with the rotary dial keypad, the 6800, which bridged the gap between candy bar and the qwery phone, and the 7600, which I struggle to even describe. My new phone's just a black piece of glass. my last three were the same. And the worst thing is that I spend much more time staring at it than I ever did with any of my beloved Nokias.

The only reason why my 3310 was trashed was because I was a little brat who wanted a new phone and my mom didn’t wanted to pay for that when I had a proper functioning phone so what I did was throwing it down the stares multiple times from the top of the building but only scratches on the cover appeared, then I threw it out the balcony but due to the grass it only got a bit muddy, then I started aiming for the sidewalk and finally a little happened so I tried smashing it from the top floor down to the sidewalk about three times and finally... it still worked but half of the screen was cracked. My mom gave me instead her old Siemens and I immediately regretted my decisions. xD It one of the best phones I’ve owned to this date.

Not kidding. Just found my old 3330 in an old box, where I stored some old tech devices. I was actually looking for an 2,5" PATA drive... whatever. I looked if the NiMH batterie was bulged and was surprised that it wasn't. I was even more surprised that the phone powered on and held on for almost a minute. I charged the battarie and it is still good enough for one and a half days stand by and 10 minutes talking... not bad.

Well, one thing about Ni-MH batteries is that they're non flammable (water+hydroxide based electrolyte), generally don't bulge, are fairly durable and somewhat tolerant of full discharges. That's the one thing they still have over Li-Ion/Li-Po, and it's why I still like them. The modern variants for AA/AAA replacement are like $2 a battery, can take 500-1500 charge cycles, last 2-4 times longer then Alkaline, and cost cents to recharge. :D Eneloop makes great ones, some of the best rechargeable batteries I'v had. Rayovac Recharge are also pretty decent, and their newer ones have just as much capacity as the Eneloop ones. They also provide much more current then Alkaline, so camera flashes power up faster and other power hungry devices perform a bit better, etc.

Regardless of how more commercially successful the 1110 may have been, it's keyboard membrane would invariably become unstuck from the underlying pushbuttons. After a while the membrane would also bulge out. While it remained perfectly functional even after the defect appeared, I'd say that it prevented the 1110 from coming any close to being a symbol of ruggedness or reliability by far.

You could even buy stickers with little LED lights in it, if you stick it on the backside of the phone, it would automatically flicker if you're being called or you call someone else. Of course they worked on other phones as well, but in my memory it started around the time everyone had the Nokia 3310. Hell, I miss the good ol' days. Thanks for the nostalgia and memories❤️

My first cellphone at age 14 in 2005 was a Sony Ericsson T237, Basically a 3310 looking candy bar, a bit smaller, color TFT screen, Java OS, no camera or anything. I had that thing for maybe 3 years. It STILL powers on. It was an absolute solid brick of a device. I had it on me everywhere. From middle school to my first year of highschool it was with me every day. I used a good chunk of my allowance to prepay for minutes every month and eventually added a $1/day unlimited text option which I used extensively. Pretty sure I got the phone as a birthday present on the condition that I always pay for it myself. It taught me money management and how to pay monthly bills regularly. I have it on a 3d printed mount on my bookshelf, where it will remain forever, occasionally getting a charge every year or so, though its internal 500-ish Mah battery can apparently give an RTG a run for its money on runtime. Fun memories.

I remember because it was most definitely on a tracphone, which would be harder to switch in that time and the fact that its keyboard was all one piece rather than a change able face plate. The internet changed how I remembered something about my own life, it makes me wonder what other memories I have that are different from how it actually was.

Smartphones suffer from the old problem of too many functions in one product, and not doing any of them particularly well. Cellphones had actual buttons up into my 20s and then they decided touch screens were adequate, and I've never been satisfied with them ever since. You can't call anything if your hands are wet, if your hands are nasty, if you can't see the screen, etc. A phone should be like a remote control; you should have the buttons memorized and be able to use it blindfolded with one hand tied behind your back. Now I can't even use it without typing in a long pin first just to keep someone from accessing everything important that my phone stores. Don't get me wrong, I've been involved with technology since the Apple II in elementary school, so having a tiny Linux machine with the internet in my pocket is cool and handy, but I would much rather the market make iPod clones (since I don't want Apple) that do everything except the phone, and let me tether that to a standard cellphone for wireless data. That way I could leave the expensive part behind when I don't need it but still be able to call or text.

Well, those phones were extremely popular at Europe - earlier we've get brilliant Nokia 3210, but it was relatively expensive. 3310 (and later 3330, whitch allows you to have animated "wallpaper" WOAH) was avaiable on every network and so, was way more affordable. When you can't really remember anyone who possesed this, I can hardly tell if any of my friends doesn't have that thing on some point ;). You broke your brand new Motorola with 4096 colours screen, and amazing 640x480px camera? You just buy 3310 for like 5 bucks, those were literally everywhere, including govenment ministries. What may have your attention is joysticks to play snake - i remember seeing one of those for 3210 in some magazine, around 2000, friend of mine was dying to get this :) Other unique thing related was replaceable covers, in every phone store you can just dig in on various covers to custom your own Nokia! Plus 3310 were small, light, and have "no antenna", comparing to typicall phone back in the day. Only phones whitch were so glamorous was flip phones, like those old Motorolas, every girl want one of these. Beauty days, when only way to access internet were going to internet cafes, or connecting via modem, whitch was extremely expensive. So we play outside instead of sitting on Facebook... Oh, I fall into the reviere ;) Sorry for my broken english, and much greetings from Poland. Keep on!

i never owned one of these models but i did have a siemans c35 and that thing was as well built. it survived being washed, dropped out of my back pocket down the side of a building by around 20-30ft onto a tarmac road even though the casing snapped off and the battery flew out it still kept on ticking and it also managed to get through several festivals and a multitude of gigs.

Nice! The 3360 was my first phone when I turned 16 and I loved it. I held onto it until I got my Blackberry Curve 6 years later. If I find it, it would be interesting to see if it still works.

Im from finland and that phone is truly legendary. Almost my every friend had one at some point and there were like 5 of them in my family :D the battery usually lasted a week and there was only one time where I got the cover just slightly broken

When I was replacing this cell with a newer one I threw it up in the air and snap kicked it. It flew into the ceiling, bounced off and smacked into cement floor blowing up into a bunch of pieces. I put the battery and plastic shell back together and it still worked fine... I kinda agree its nearly indestructible.

These were incredibly popular in Ireland at the time. Almost everyone I know had one at some point. I imagine they were as popular throughout Europe. Maybe it was just the US where they weren't as popular

The 3310 reboot is a big fail... It's just a current Nokia 200-series phone ( www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/nokia-230 ) in a different shell that has some design cues from the original 3310. They should've kept the exact shape, size, keypad and even the low-res monochrome screen, just upgrade the internals to equivalent modern technology that uses a lot less power than the original, and use the rest of the internal volume for a huge battery. That thing would've been the perfect survival/trip phone that lasts months with a single charge, costs basically nothing and doesn't mind being dropped or bumped into something. The new 3310 doesn't look rugged at all and it's a lot thinner than the original. On the other hand, now that they modernised the 3310, if it doesn't have at least Whatsapp on it, it's quite useless. It kind of falls between the sweet spots; it's nothing like the simple, spartan original phone, but it doesn't have any modern features people want these days either. It should've been either a proper, super-simple remake or then something with more modern features.

Nokia 3310 Was indestructible. Kids plays them football, basketball, throws them like a stone through the field... just one phone lost it's screen which was able to buy for 8pln (around 2,5 dollars). Even nowadays i see some guys who still uses that phone, because of its indestructibility. I have seen only two cellphones that durable as Nokia 3310- nokia 6230 and Samsung solid.

It's not that the 3310 was the indestructible phone, only that NOKIA knew how to make robust products. Much like the Nintendo Wii Remotes that could break CRT T.Vs when accidentally thrown while playing Wii Sports, and remain unharmed.

The first phone I bought with money saved from gifts and my daily school allowance. So many memories attached to it! It could basically take a beating - thrown, dropped, sat on... and it took everything like a champ. The battery life was amazing as one battery bar can last you more than a day.
