Get ready to get punched in the face with some mobile nostalgia because late-90s/early-00s mobile phone giants Nokia are set to make a comeback with a new range of phones that take the best of both worlds – smartphone capabilities and the durability of Nokia mobiles of years past. Oh, and Snake. Fuck YES.
It’s been reported that the Nokia 150 and Nokia 150 Dual will be set on the Android platform, and will be much like the older Nokia phones – bloody cheap and able to withstand our clumsy selves.
I swear I used to be able to peg my 3310 across the street to my mate, it’d explode into five different pieces, and still work.
Na, she’s good aye.
The new phones are said to be launched next year, and will have a mighty battery life of 22 hours talk time and 31 days on standby. Sweet Jesus that’s a lot of charge.
Nokia are also set to launch their new range at the Mobile World Congress in February.
Alongside them is the return of Blackberry, who we’re hoping will give us more info into the whispered-about ‘Mercury’ handset that’s apparently got both touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard.
I’m sure as hell ready to be able to text without looking at my phone again – truly one of the great unsung talents of school kids in the early 00s.
