Nokia has confirmed that it has started shipping the Nokia 3310. The company took to Twitter to make the announcement. The tweet reads “Your 17 year wait is over, now shipping. #Nokia3310.” Nokia also put out a short teaser of the phone, saying “Are you ready? I’m on my way.”
The phone was earlier listed on few German and British website for pre-orders. The company had said the phones will be available globally from the second quarter, so this shipping period is in line with what was promised.
Finish company HMD Global, which owns the right to market the Nokia brand, unveiled a revamped version of the iconic Nokia 3310 more than a decade after it was phased out.
The new 3310 qualifies as a “feature phone”. Unlike the smartphone which is capable of providing 3G/4G connectivity, Nokia 3310 relies on 2.5G connectivity and runs on S30+ operating system, which allows web browsing in its 2.4-inch display screen.
HDM claims the coloured-screen phone has month long stand-by and can deliver 22 hours of talk-time, ten times more than the original. The new Nokia 3310 also sports a 2MP rear camera and comes preinstalled with a new the modern version of the classic “Snake” game. It is available in four colour variants—Warm Red, Yellow, both with a gloss finish, and matte finished Dark Blue and Grey.
