Nokia will re-release the 3310 at MWC

Reported by numerous news sources.

I can actually see myself buying a good quality, minimal, 4g-capable dumb phone if they give it a nice, modern design. Was lusting after the Punkt MP01 for a while but at that price it is just a rip-off.

What would be the point of 4g on a dumb-phone though ?

4G would be pointless. 3G would be needed though given some networks are now shutting down their 2G networks.

4G would make sense if it was VoLTE-capable, which it very likely isn't. I meant to type 3G.

No link, who are these numerous news sources?


People are forgetting this is not the same Nokia of the past.

Yeah, it's not the same company but the management is mostly old Nokia stock. They don't have their own European facilities anymore, though.

Thank you for the links!

It will be interesting to see how it's launched.
Their return will certainly be the most exciting part of MWC.
