Any Nokia Phone Fans,..... there back
« on: 16 January 2017, 17:02:04 »
Only in Asia at the moment but plans for the rest of the Planet early part of this year.

Current offering, Nokia 6, 1 piece Aluminium Chassis with 5.5" 1080p Full HD Screen, Gorilla Glass, Qualcomm octa-core processor, 4Gb Ram, 64gb Memory, 16Mp Camera, Twin Amp Dolby Atmos audio, 3A battery, running Android 7. £200.

Rumors have it, Nokia 8 Premium version launching just before iPhone 8, price unknown.

Ive always had a soft spot for Nokia Phone, well the pre crap Windows ones anyway. We'll see.  :-\ :-\

For £200 I would give it a try.

I have currently have a S2 and S4 and happy with both, Considering an S7 as the S6 didnt have SD card facility, and issues with S7  along with price have put me off. :-\

Started with a Phiilips Savvy, had a faw various nokia's and thena Samsung Tocco. Ending with the S2/4 Phones. ::)

Would be nice to try a Nokia and hope they have got it right this time :y

I got excited for a moment then. I thought that maybe they were bringing back the 6310 or the E55, with no bells and whistles and batteries that would last a week without charging  ::)

 . . . . and Snake ! to waste time on

I wondered where I'd lost it          ;D    ;D

Couple of years ago I was clearing out my office and found my old "brick". This was a handset that either fitted in the car or attached to a huge battery pack. Pressed the "On" button, and it turned on. Not for long though, a few seconds. That phone was around 20 years old, maybe more.

Well if they stick with Removable Batteries, decent Ram and internal Memory (Nokia 8 is supposed to be 128 / 256gb) and SD Slots, keep the price reasonable they could be in with a chance.

I suspect it will be just another non-descript expensive Android handset.  They need to do something to make it stand out.

Fingers crossed they make it desirable

IIRC, there's some EU recycling directive that means they are now having to make batteries removable again. :y

That was a flaw on many if Nokia's classic phones, from 2110 through to 6310i...  ...the contacts were shite, always causing the damn things to power off randomly.
