![]() Nokia has largely got out of the business of making phones, and is now focused on making the switching and networking equipment used by mobile networks like Vodafone and T-Mobile. The company is based down the road from Nokia’s headquarters in Espoo, Finland and it bought the design and marketing rights to Nokia phones in May 2016. Though the new 3310 is a “Nokia phone” for all intents and purposes, it’s manufactured by HMD Global. The phone was released at a point when consumers weren't demanding phones that were as small or as thin as possible, and also when the electronic wiring on the circuitboards inside phones weren’t anywhere near as dense as they are today. ![]() ![]() One major reason why the 3310 ended up being so durable was simply timing. One British man was recently profiled for continuing to use his 3310 for the entire 17 years since its launch, saying he had “dropped it on numerous occasions, on the floor, in curry sauce, and it’s been through the washing machine.”
