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!

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.

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.

Just because the repair is more difficult it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Comparing 3310 to any contemporary smartphone is like saying repairing the bike is easier than repairing a car. Well of course it’s more difficult because there are more elements, and components are smaller. Screens słone probably have more tech than whole 3310. As a part of progress we’ve lost some of these things that we liked in old phones, but we got other things in return.
