hey guys this is Austin this is the legendary Nokia 3310 now in addition to being a lot of people's very first cell phone it also has a reputation for being basically indestructible fast forward to 2018 though and Nokia has released this a brand new version of the 3310 so I mean it wasn't even like I had a choice of course I had to get one take a look at the box and you're gonna see something that looks very very similar to the original 3310 of course one of the best features of this phone was the games or well the game sake in fact was probably the best game on any phone ever fighting kind of care that fight me I think he was gonna fight me over snake everyone agrees on that right put the new and the old 3310 side by side you see they have a lot of similarities but of course the new one has a much larger screen but one of the important things is that because it's going to be so thin and light it's actually kind of makes sense as a secondary phone so maybe you just want a backup phone or maybe you just want something to go off the grid for a weekend or something and not to worry about people you know Facebook messaging you and emails and I don't know can this thing do email actually you probably can rain these are not cheap by the way I think the Nokia 3310 this one cost me around $60 so you could get like a low-end smartphone for that however you definitely don't get that kind of cool retro Nokia vibes from it turn you on the first thing we get is the charger so thankfully this is now in 2018 and well 2016 because we're using a micro USB cable but it's a lot better than the stupid barrel plug on the original 3310 we also surprisingly get a headset that's actually kind of impressive there you go got a headphone jack right there I don't know how you actually get music on this if I actually don't know that much about this at all so it does say on the box it's got the Opera app store so we actually might have some flexibility and what we're doing with it pop off the back and the first thing we see is the battery spot as well as a slot for not only a micro sim but also micro SD card you know for when you want to store all your sick 90s jams okay so that was the simplest phone setup process ever so at least we're getting a full-color display unlock press start unlock okay oh wow so we actually have snake Facebook camera we've got the mobile store even have the Twitter I this actually might not be that bad of course though the only game that anyone really cares about the snake oh wow that was really generous oh I have like a super wide head oh you don't even need to hit it on the necessarily right on the mark it has snake but it's not the real snake I will say though this actually at first glance doesn't seem like it's going to be that far off I was expecting something with no apps something there's gonna be super basic just for text and calls but we do have some apps we have a Twitter app we have a couple games that aren't snakes so let's actually use this for a day so it is time to use the Nokia 3310 and there's actually a lot of weird stuff with this phone no the responsiveness actually isn't too bad so I have a list of apps well apps the mostly just web apps because there is offer mobile on this guy oh wow we have 30 megabytes of phone memory free but I guess we could use that micro SD card slot too but more than three mp3s on it oh I've got a flashlight excellent revolutionary technology there's so much weird stuff with this here comes my favorite part typing out my entire Twitter credentials on the little t9 keyboard oh ho we are on glorious twitter.com for mobile that looks exactly like 2012 actually I mean this kind of works it looks a little broken it's definitely slow but I mean it works alright let's let's wait Kai reply where do you oh I think that's it wait this button is replying oh wait dad just retweet oh I didn't okay let's reply so you have to consider what you're going to text or tweet from this because it takes a little while to text if you're lame and you've forgotten how to use a t9 keyboard like I have I think Ken's getting frustrated with how long it takes for me to type on this thing I'm officially written out 123 character tweets and I have proof this was in fact written on a Nokia 3310 alright so it is time to use the Nokia 3310 for real it's gonna be a little too challenge but honestly after playing with it for just a few minutes it's actually not that far out of date I mean some stuff seems kind of okay so of course what better way to test than with some proper retro looking headphones so you do have to use a micro SD card to actual wrong phone I meant to grab the one in this pocket which actually does have a headphone jack it's a little tinny but it's much better than we expect out of a tiny little feature felt like this mostly like it's actually not that hard to use everything is pretty responsive I mean obviously we're not running Android or anything but can actually multitask oh I can so I can move around while still listening in music I really want to try is the camera that's I would call not a lot of dynamic range yeah wait how do I do a selfie okay five four three two Wow it actually worked that doesn't look like the worst thing I've ever seen oh okay okay so what have we learned well first of all this is definitely not a replacement for a smartphone however if you want something that's going to be small light weight and hopefully should survive a quick little drop it should be fine right hey it's fine I had no doubts any this is a carpet to be fair but the nice thing is because it's so small and lightweight it's easy to be able to carry this around as a secondary device or if you're just someone who doesn't really want to deal with the smartphone and want something that's just gonna be a little bit simpler to you know call text listen to some sick 2003 jams the Nokia 3310 actually not gonna be too bad so as always I will find a link to this guy and put in the description things like 60 bucks or so from curious would you actually ever want to pick up a 3310 let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
