Another reboot?
The problem is the previous one only has 2G, and the 2G networks will soon be shut down, hence why they’re making a 4G version.
And I will bet money that the reboot is going to a cheaper shitier version of the original.
I hate how Microsoft sent a new CEO to Nokia, who then tanked the company, got them bought by Microsoft, and then was rehired in another role by Microsoft.
What makes it even worse is that they couldn’t even keep Nokia going once they did their takeover.
I’m still furious about the whole thing. It’s insane they got away with such blatant market manipulation. Microsoft is untouchable.
Wasn’t it already rebooted not so long ago?
Sure was. Seems all Nokia can do now is make middling Android phones or try to cash in on nostalgia.
It’s not just nostalgia. I absolutely want a phone I can throw at a wall and put back together without it costing me money.
Yea, but the modern ones aren’t like that. No company would make the mistake of making a high quality durable product these days. No profit in that.
A modern smartphone has a screen that’s going to break. Those old phones had a block of plastic that was an LCD screen and then some buttons made out of some form of rubbery sponge.
They broke all the time, the point was that you could just put them back together again in 30 seconds. Everything is glued in place now, so when shock happens they rip and snap.
I miss the designs. Nokia, sony, Motorola…. All trying stuff.
We gave up a lot to carry these black mirrors around.
The battery is kind of important so any place that could be used for a gimmick is better used for a bigger battery. Back then I don’t think anyone cared about battery size. I just charged my phone when it ran out.
