How to sort and remove icons on Nokia 3310 (2017) Whether to sort your icons, remove them, or even manage your screen to your wishes, we’re going to guide you in this article on how to proceed.
Tap-tap… ’N’ Tap-tap-tap… ’o’t Tap-tap… ’k’ Tap-tap-tap… ’i’ Tap… ’a’.
If you want to sum up the new Nokia 3310 then inputting text is the best way to do so. I lived with Nokias for a long time, and until the touchscreen revolution kicked off the primary input method was through the number pad. That means either the ‘up to four taps’ on key 7 to cycle through the letters p/q/r/s, or to use Nokia’s T9 prediction engine that could work out the work you were trying to type just by pressing the key that had the letter you wanted (so one tap on the 7 could easily be seen as an ’s’ if it fitted the rest of the word pattern).
No matter the mix of nostalgia (genuine or re-imagined) there is a place for this phone. As HMD Global undertakes the frankly mammoth task of launching its own line of smartphones with the help of the Nokia brand, it can tap into some of the most successful remaining Nokia markets in the BRIC territories. Consumers there are still transitioning from featurephones to smartphones, and the Nokia 3310 is a vital step in that process.
It’s the ‘new’ Nokia that people are looking for with a strong marketing message to help it sell. It’s part of a product line that is generating revenue for HMD right now. And it gives the Finnish start-up a financial cushion that will give it time to understand the market as it works to release the higher-specced Android handsets and become an established smartphone player.
Finding success in western markets is a difficult task for the Nokia 3310. It’s here that the nostalgia card will be heavily played. For those who want ‘just a phone’ there’s a good argument for a phone like the Nokia 3310. If you’re going out to a multi-day outdoor music festival, on a camping trip, a long drive, and you need to have something utterly reliable that is focused on making phone calls, then you need a different mix of software and hardware to devices like the Android-powered Nokia 3.
When you absolutely, definitely, need a phone that can deliver a month of standby and 22 hours of talk time on a single charge; when you need a phone that has the robustness to hammer in nails; when you want to step away from the tyranny of software updates, notifications, and battery life measured in hours; that’s when you realise the Nokia 3310 is a good idea.
It’s not suitable for every occasion (no phone is) but when the time is right, it’s waiting for your call.
If the return of T9 for text input is the prefect representation of nostalgia that reminds you exactly of times gone by, Snake is a reminder that you can never capture history if you try to improve it. There is always going to be a tendency to over-egg the pudding with new things, to try to make it better, to improve it because you can.
In a sense this Nokia 3310 is a bit like the Star Wars Special Edition. It has everything you remember of Star Wars, and if you don’t know any better you’d say you were watching the classic. But if you spent any time with the original you’d miss the matt lines, the bad modelling, Han shooting first, and the rough edges that helped you fall in love with it.
Lots of people love Lucasfilm’s Special Editions (especially those looking at the revenue it continues to generate) and if you’re looking for a copy of the film that is compatible with modern technology, you need the updated version. But I remember a time when there was no ‘Episode IV’ in the credits, just as I remember when the original Nokia 3310 ruled the world.
