Initially released in the year 2000, the Nokia 3310 went on to be one of the most successful mobile phones ever. More than 125 million were sold and, thanks to a small group of Nokia fanatics, this cult handset is making a modern-day comeback.
Staying near-true to the original design, the Nokia 3310 with PureView will add a 41MP PureView camera with Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, and will run a modified version of Windows Phone 8 to fit the unique 'ClearDiamond' three-inch touch screen.
As well as the classic metallic dark blue, the Nokia 3310 with PureView will also come in yellow, blue, red and green.
Three 'soft-touch' navigation keys still feature a Windows Phone 'home' button has been introduced to you straight back to the Start Screen.
LiveTiles and App Folders are supported and it comes pre-installed with MS Office, Xbox Games, Outlook and OneDrive that offers 7GB free cloud storage out of the box.
Juha Alakarhu, Nokia head of Imaging Technologies, said:
"I'm really excited that we've found a way to marry our innovative PureView technology with such a beloved device. With its durable design and iconic look, we think even more people will enjoy our signature PureView magic "
3310-pureview-in-line2To power the next-gen operating system and class-leading camera, Nokia engineers have achieved the unthinkable, scaling down a dual-core processor, 2GB RAM and 32GB of on-board storage into a case that mimics the original size (113 x 48 x 22mm) and weight (133g).
A side-mounted MicroSD card slot offers additional storage expansion. The first devices will rollout with 3G connectivity while LTE-equipped devices will follow later in the year.
With a nostalgic nod to yesteryear, the Nokia 3310 with PureView comes pre-loaded with four games -- Snake II, Pairs II, Space Impact and Bantumi -, a currency converter and original monophonic ringtones.
Norman Gage, who has been campaigning for the return of the Nokia 3310 since its discontinuation, said:
"It's an historic day. For five years, we've worked hard to make our voice heard and now our dreams are about to become reality. Personally, I'd have preferred to keep the five-line, monochrome screen, six ringing-tone volume levels and original message templates, but you can't win them all!"
