Nokia 3310

We all loved 'the brick'.

You know, the Nokia 3310 that you could bash off walls and it would still be in mint condition?

The phone, which was first released in September 2000, is making its way back onto the market.

Nokia has decided to remake the handsets again, and it is thought they will be considered as a 'second' phone to bring along to festivals and concerts.

The Nokia 3310 will be available from Vodafone, Eir and Carphone Warehouse from Wednesday 2 August.

According to 98fm, the colour-screened phone has up to a month's standby time and it will deliver more than 22 hours of talk time.

“This is what consumers have been asking us for, and so we decided that we’d just do it and have some fun with it," said Florian Seiche, president of HMD and Nokia spokesperson.

We're looking forward the brick making its way back into our lives!

It's hard to believe, but there was once a time when we didn't dedicate every waking moment to our phones.

When they eventually ran out of battery, we dusted off our charger and plugged them in. When they were topped up, we sent texts. And when they rang, we actually, you know, answered them.

Then the smartphone made its grand entrance, and everything changed.

Relegated to the annals of time, old reliables like the Nokia 3310 were pushed aside in favour of their jazzier alternatives which could take pictures and actually connect you to the world wide web.

But if you long for the days of yore, you'll be pretty pleased to hear that Nokia is relaunching its 3310 model.

Originally released in 2000, the sturdy old model will be revealed at the Mobile World Congress later this month, and can be yours for just £59.

And while the model has still been available through Amazon, this announcement means it will now be available directly from the company itself.

So, if you're somewhat of a retro enthusiast with more than a passing appreciation for a solid battery life, now's the time to celebrate.
