    Nokia 3210 - The 2024 Reboot! | Best New Feature Phone?

    07:10Nokia 3210 - The 2024 Reboot! | Best New Feature Phone?
    • So what do you actually get in this dinky wee box? Well, you've got yourself a Nokia 3210, naturally. Got an adapter, so you don't even get bundled with most thousand pound smartphones these days. And a quick start guide, and that's your lot. And here we have it, boys and girls, the Nokia 3210, refreshed for 2024. It's like I'm 17 all over again, apart from the lack of hair and the constantly aching liver. You certainly have to appreciate just how dinky mobile phones were back in the day. It weighs just 88 grams. It's so miniature, it'll basically slip into any pockets, any pants, and in a pinch, pretty much any orifice you fancy as well. You've got three colour options with the 3210. You've got scuba blue, grunge black, or this here, Y2K gold effort. Y2K, there's another nostalgia fest. I bet if you tried explaining Y2K to someone who was born in the 21st century, they'd think we were all a bunch of hillbilly f***ing idiots back in the day. So you were all convinced that on January 1st, 2000, all of our computers would simultaneously melt, and planes would fall out of the sky, and we'd basically all end up living in caves singing Kumbaya. I mean, yeah, it sounds a bit mental now, but it was all perfectly plausible at the time. Even Trevor McDonald said it would happen. Oh my god, that noise, absolutely not. How do I turn this s*** off? I cannot find the audio options in here anywhere, and if I don't find them soon, I am actually going to top myself.
