It was pretty neat. Especially if you were on vacation and wanted to check latest news also you could download all sorts of logos/naughty msg's, ringtones, games...
I think there was a service called iMode, which allowed for things like sending photos (well, colour pictures, anyway) and phone email right back in the late 90's, but it cost way too much in Europe. Japan stuck with it though, Japanese phones from 2000 look like European ones from 2006... then everybody in the world wanted an iPhone, but they didn't work with iMode and the launch was delayed for ages in Japan.
I still have my parent's Nokia 3310 somewhere. It's locked to Telstra but despite it being no longer supported since telstra killed the 2G network, it's an amazing piece of tech.
Watching this on an iPhone 7+ really does make you appreciate how far we've come in just 16 years. It's inane that within 6 years the original iPhone would be released which seems light years away from this 3330!
Thanks for this video man it really is awesome and maybe if the internet here in my country still works for this old phones maybe I can access your site using my Nokia 7110 from my phone collection . The screen is bigger and the internet speed is faster .
My mom used to have an old Nokia flip out phone currently I’m 12 but that phone is 15 yrs old it never broke and was in use until we broke the charger and couldn’t find a replacement so we tucked it away in a closet and somehow lost it around 4 yrs ago
How to bust your prepaid balance (or as we Filipinos call it, "load"): purchase all the custom ringtones and wallpapers (back then it costed around 10PHP a ringtone and 20PHP a wallpaper)
And the Nokia 3310 (or Nokia phones in general) was an important part in Philippine history: the Second EDSA Revolution would have not happened if not for SMS messages ("texts" as we call them) calling for protests. I remember one of the commemorative books that my elementary school library had has a chapter dedicated to texts sent during the lead-up to the revolution.
I miss the changeable faceplates on the old Nokias and how durable they were, but I definitely don't miss those ringtones. I think my ears are bleeding.
i still use my nokia 3330 as backup phone when i leave the house for more than a day and am not sure wether i can charge my smartphone on the go or not.
The Galaxy S4 Mini and one of the current Xepria models still can as they're only around 4". Anything bigger is stupid to handle one handed (as in _handy_ ) anyways.

OofItsSpencer Here in India ask any homosapien about their first phone and they will say Nokia 1100,1600 or 3300. I still have my nokia 3300 with original housing + some funky housing (It's a trend back then in 2004-2005

@@ryanphillips4123 Well it really depends on the school district you live in. In most districts usually students can bring phones to school every day except during examinations when it is prohibited to bring any electronic devices.
The charter school I went to several years ago prohibited cell phone usage as well. Fast forward to today, and people are tapping on their smartphones during college lectures. They are definitely getting their tuition's worth.
I still have a Nokia 5190 which is used as my emergency phone in the car. Somehow, that NiCd battery STILL works. I have honestly no idea how it still works, but it does.
We get than for recycling at my work sometimes, sure enough the NiMH battery of 3310 can still be found holding a charge! I am not sure why but I know Li-Ion batteries will degrade with time even when not being used.
Most generic AA and AAA rechargeable batteries are still some variation of NiMH They have excellent lifespan, though with common formulations they lose a lot of their charge very quickly. (Like, 3-4 weeks a fully charged NiMH battery may be empty.) They don't have the degredation seen in lithium Ion batteries though, and they don't have the memory effect of Ni-CD either. Plus, in terms of actual energy density they aren't as far behind Lithium as you might expect. Newer 'low self discharge' variations also manage to fix that terrible shelf life too. A low self-discharge variant NiMH can hold a charge for years... I miss devices using AA's... So much more flexible than the integrated proprietary custom batteries everything has these days. Half of the time they're not even removable. And good luck getting a replacement for anything less than an extortionate price even if you can remove them...
Oh I like a lot of my NiMH batteries, they work rather well, but my 5190 was definitely using NiCd. It was no NiMH cell in that pack. After a few cycles, there's really no memory effect on it whatsoever.
KuraIthys yep I use the LSD ones in my torches, sure the li-ion ones are brighter or run a bit longer but NiMH isn't far behind and won't explode violently if something went wrong 🙂
These types of mobile phones are still incredibly important in 3rd world countries, where there simply isn't the bandwidth to support smartphones, or they're too expensive. BBC Click covered them a couple of years ago - they're use to deliver farming reports, weather information and even online banking to parts of Africa.
And yet a certain BBC technology correspondent plays down or bashes Nokia every chance he gets while bigging up Apple, even on stories that does not involve Apple.
These types of phones are incredibly important when you serve in the military/navy cause they can handle better signal everywhere compared to whatever smartphone you’ll try
Love that phone! Still got mine in the cupboard with a new battery inside but the AC power adapter broke, so I just keep mine for the sake of nostalgia. Also our budgie loved _Fool about_ :D I myself screamed inside every time I accidentally pressed the Internet button tho as all I have is a prepaid plan which got empty faster than one might imagine when doing that mistake. Also, the original 3310/3330 beats the new 3310 they show on MWC these days.
The hard part was using a laptop on your knee while riding in a car, it was a nightmare to keep the phone aligned to the ir port on my IBM think pad r31 any time you hit a bump or went around a corner the phone would slide. I was on a O2 pay and go sim and got 5mb free and then it was 10p per mb. It wasn't supposed to work. O2 used to sell very expensive data plans on monthly contracts to mobile Internet on a laptop and one day after using it for years it just stopped working. when I phoned O2 they said it should never have worked. That's when I got a 3G Nokia on 3.
I had T-Mobile pre-paid and a Sony Ericsson T-100 and I could wap for free. I wanted to know the costs, so I tried for 15 minutes but it didn't cost me anything. So I proceeded to use Wap an hour a day expecting my credit to go to 0 at some point but after 6 months still nothing. Then I switched to another phone, still free. 5 years later I found my old phone and it still worked, but by then wap.gmail.com and wap.ebuddy.com (msn messenger) went offline I believe so it was kinda pointless xD I just bought the phone+sim for 100 euro's at the time, nothing special about my sim. I don't think I've ever met somebody who actually used Wap more then twice. Maybe local providers didn't bother asking the 3 users for money? xD
+OttoNL Had something similar happen to me back in the day. I had a prepaid card and activated a 40MB a week package for (back then) about $1. Except they never applied the 40MB FUP. So I had unlimited mobile internet for $1 a week. Lasted about 3 years before they fixed it.
when my dial up 56k internet wasn't working this was the best next thing :) ... You could use google to browse regular web pages with WAP access by splitting them into multiple smaller pages suitable for phone and google even adjusted photos so they could be shown on small cell phones screen in lower resolution and in black and white
3:47 Seeing the Google logo on this phone is very surprising for me because I've always wondered how modern websites would look on an old device haha I'm such a nerd 😂
That's like saying it's funny that a PS3 game isn't working in a PS4. A page coded for an early phone that is capable of reading HTML will work pretty good on a modern phone.
So you're saying it should work? Can't really compare this with games, since the website does load on my phone, it's just not functioning right. And I just think it's funny we always improve our hardware, yet ditch support for older stuff.
When you don't ditch compatability you get an i7. Still capabale of running the old 8086 code. They tried to go 64-Bit only with Itanium (IA-64) and that failed horribly. So horribly that they later licensed AMDs AMD64 extension for IA-32 under the name EM64T or IA32e
@@Nighterlev Lol The internet back in the 80s and 90s were run through Telecom switches and the info was rarely encrypted. Rule of thumb: if it's over a telephone line or a fiber line, it's monitored if it's over the air it's captured. Next to nothing electronic escapes the 5 eyes.
+Joe Blow Any computer with slow internet speeds is impossible to monitor, much less capture. You do realize you can talk to someone with a 10-50kb/s speed and the 5 eyes won't be able to hear you at all..right? Because you'd be impossible to track. How do I know? Hackers/criminals do this all the time lmfao. They purposely slow down the internet speed and do exactly that. For larger pieces of data, your going to want to encrypt all the data that you send, and receive immediately. No trackers, remove them often from all websites and so on.
I still have my 3390. I once briefly considered getting rid of it back in highschool. What stopped me is kind of a funny story. So I was not the only one to have one of those phones in school. There were plenty floating around. I remember one girl was having a really bad argument/breakup over the phone during lunch time. She was screaming and crying... you know the typical. Eventually she threw her nokia hard down the school hallway. It slid all the way down and then bounced against the far wall bouncing back some. She walked over and picked it up.... *bleep bleepity bleeping phone still bleeping works bleep bleep bleep* Yeah.... I decided after that I would keep mine. I still use it today.
If I believe the MAD2W21 processor in the Nokia was based on the ARM7TDMI which indirectly uses the same arm infrastructure as the Yamaha aica sound chip in the dreamcast (the more you know bah bon dun)
Dragonfire511 looking at these arm chips has me thinking about comparisons specification wise about the acorn archemedis and the 3do which use arms previous generation 6 processors. Crazy the arm in the 3do is a previous arm tech than this Nokia phone
oh true! the 3do uses an arm cpu. its a 12.5mhz arm60. those arm processors were used in a lot of nokia phone and i think they were used on those running symbian

Back in around 2004 or so, I had some small Nokia phone that had no camera built-in but for $35-$45 you can buy an accessory camera that attached to the bottom of the phone to take pictures of something like 800x600 or something... I think I still got pictures from that thing on one of my old computers that I just tossed in storage, or it might be on a laptop hard drive that I stripped out of my broken laptops and is in my junk pile. I can't even believe touch screen phones like the iphone weren't even a thing even in 2004. But I guess, mobile hardware were in its limits. And limits of CPU nano size and limits of battery tech.
Multi-touch didn't exist, and the vast majority required styluses, but touch screen smart phones definitely existed in that era. They were just very expensive. (Or not?? - Probably similar to an iPhone today, but in the mid-2000s paying that much for a phone was unthinkable.) Business people had them, though.
There were some Windows phonets, mainly from iMate (HTC). I had a few of these devices and with the limited GPRS connectivity you were able to browse the Internet, play music and video.
When I was a kid I asked for a 3330 and got one on my birthday. I used it to access the WAP version of the Ali G Translator, and I downloaded all the extra levels for Space Impact. It was beautiful.
not that difficult. since the c64 uses a 6502 , a great start is to learn the 6502 assembly language from this awesome site skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/ and if you want to learn more about the hardware of a 6502 cpu, you can make your own basic 6502 computer with the help of this site : lateblt.tripod.com/6502prj1.htm
The Fun Bros I love it that he referenced Techmoan. We've had ths Techmoan/8 Bit Guy collab but what we really need is the Ben Heck/8 Bit Guy/Techmoan/Nostalgia Nerd/Big Clive/EEVBlog/LGR and Ashens collab
I'm not sure if the 3330 was released here in Australia or not, I had a 3310, I bought it in 2002 and I loved it. Of course the 3310 didn't have WAP access or some of the features found on the 3330. I didn't know that Orange sold these phones, I got my 3310 from Optus. Yay for the Techmoan reference.
Nokias are still seriously tough little things. I have a Nokia 520 from a few years back, and I've dropped it several dozen times, several of which were onto concrete, and you'd really have to pay VERY close attention to it to even see any signs of damage. Meanwhile I dropped both an old samsung feature phone and a Samsung tablet considerably fewer times and the damage is far more visible and dramatic. (Still not enough to kill either device. Not even close. But in terms of cosmetic damage there's no comparison.) Nokias are tough. Even modern ones.
I agree. My E51 was virtually indestructible (sadly stolen when I lent it to a colleague). Dropped it on concrete more times than I care to remember. Took a drunk husband of a friend to throw my N8 against a wall before it stopped working. Dropped my 6600 (one of their first Symbian-powered phones) in a river once and just dried it off - no harm done. My friend's Sony-Ericsson of the same age fell in water once and the joystick stopped working. Here's holding thumbs that Nokia's new Android-powered range is as robust as the Nokia phones we've come to love.
Thank you so very much from a Nokia 3330 original owner back in the day! I still remember my dad paying for it with a shoe box full of old Spanish money just because I wanted a phone with infrared to play snake with my friends. I never used the functionality because when my friends actually got around to own one of this phones I had a Motorola 525 with 3g and bluetooth capabilities. It turns out that 5 yo kids didn't have the power to convince fathers that everyone else had one. Aaaaaah, the good old early 2000's...
The custom welcome screen takes me back, I remember setting all different fonts etc., every morsel of customisation was amazing back then :D I genuinely think they were the best era of mobile phones, my 3510 lasted for a week with texting, playing Snake, and two weeks if you left it alone. The colour 3510i was noticeably worse, even before the real battery killer touchscreens came along (my N95 was similarly bad).
I'm so glad we have smart phones now. I remember people used to go through their ring tones and text tones when they were bored. Granted it would seem that at least people are starting to finally catch on to putting the damn things on silent. So many people at my school would just have their phone making constant noise because they didn't know how to stop notifications for everything.
Nokia was the king of mobile phones. It had the most expensive phones. It was tightly collaborated with mobile phone carriers. Many subscribers preferred higher monthly contracts for a cheaper Nokia phone. Nokia software was revolutionary for its time with many many innovations. I remember that many people were avoiding to change brand because Nokia was the easiest and most straightforward. Nokia was the first to fully embrace the unexpected SMS revolution. It offered messages beyond the default 160 characters and icons which were only recognizable between Nokia phones. It was a nice practice because many people preferred Nokia in order to be compatible with the other Nokia phones of friends or partners. Nokia unwillingly had created an ecosystem between its phones similar to iOS. Until early 2000 phone calls were very expensive and the SMS market was huge and very profitable. Also it introduced games that could be played between Nokia phones through infrared connection, like the unforgettable snake. Nokia was a trendy item like the iPod and iPhone later. And we should not forget that Nokia produced the first practical mobile phone with camera which could send MMS. MMS wasn't successful like SMS because it was too expensive but phones with cameras became popular and affordable very fast after 2002. Nokia was offering at least a week of true mobile usage before recharging and some models even two weeks. I remember friends who were recharging their phone only three times per month. This battery autonomy is unthinkable today but was a serious criterium for choosing a mobile phone and Nokia was the best on that. During late 90's mobile internet was ridiculously expensive and only Nokia Communicator which was initially based on a intel 386 desktop underpowered CPU could offer some basic browsing and email potential. The WAP was a fiasco. I have tried it many times with the revolutionary at the time GPRS. For browsing ten WAP enabled websites five euros were needed. Very few major websites were WAP compatible with very little content. It was good for emergency use but not at all for every day mobile internet. Of course professionals could use their mobiles phones as a modem for their laptops everywhere. All premium mobiles phones could connect during late 90's through infrared or serial proprietary cable. USB awash ambiguous yet. The internet speed was between the basic 9kbits or GPRS 50Kbits. Enough for checking emails with small photos or very slowly opening a few websites. Professionals were having profits by using the internet and very expensive mobile internet didn't matter at the end of the day. However the professionals who truly needed mobile internet was a niche market. Mobile phone manufacturers and mobile carriers didn't have any serious profits for investing on fast mobile internet. After all the first generation of mobile phones was targeted only to professionals and for that only it wasn't profitable. Nokia had very robust phones too. (My iPhone 4 had a serious problem with the central button. My iPhone 5 had a permanent problem with the power button and the display. My iPhone 6 after two years had a devastating problem with the battery. I don't know what will appear with iPhone 7 plus.) My Nokia phones were nearly indestructible. The display wasn't crashed after many falls. It was a little scratched but that was not a problem for just selecting phone contacts or viewing SMS messages. I could use it safely with wet hands at the beach or during skiing. iPhone on the other hand demands a protective case or a screen protector. That protections methods were unheard for Nokia phones of 90's. Nokia not only had tremendously large autonomy but it was easy to change the battery with a full recharged in a free seconds. Which premium smartphones allows that today? Nowadays is very common to end without battery after ten hours of playing games or browsing. For a 90's Nokia phone that was unbelievable and unacceptable. During 90's and early 2000 people had mobile phones. Today there aren't mobile phones. There are just pocket computers with cameras which can connect to internet through the mobile data networks and make calls.
The 3210 definitely lacked durability. I remember not long after spending all my birthday money plus saved pocket money buying one that the screen got smashed when I was at school; it was in my pocket, and I got pushed, not very hard, into a parked car, I was bloody devastated!
I remember used to messing with my mom nokia 3315, and trying to connect to internet using it's guidebooks..but still cant do that because internet carrier in my country is really suck back in the day 😅😅
Back in the days when phones were still fit in the pocket and the only fear when owning a Nokia 3310 is not breaking the phone but breaking things surrounding it and killing people and animals
I remember them talking a lot about WAP at university.
That was fucking pointless wasn't it!
It was pretty neat. Especially if you were on vacation and wanted to check latest news also you could download all sorts of logos/naughty msg's, ringtones, games...
If you could actually afford the price for it.
I remember something like 1,99€ for 150 kB.
+HappyBeezerStudios Yeah, WAP prices were insane and it was pointless anyway.

They don't have the degredation seen in lithium Ion batteries though, and they don't have the memory effect of Ni-CD either.
Plus, in terms of actual energy density they aren't as far behind Lithium as you might expect.
Newer 'low self discharge' variations also manage to fix that terrible shelf life too.
A low self-discharge variant NiMH can hold a charge for years...
I miss devices using AA's... So much more flexible than the integrated proprietary custom batteries everything has these days. Half of the time they're not even removable.
And good luck getting a replacement for anything less than an extortionate price even if you can remove them...
Oh I like a lot of my NiMH batteries, they work rather well, but my 5190 was definitely using NiCd. It was no NiMH cell in that pack. After a few cycles, there's really no memory effect on it whatsoever.
KuraIthys yep I use the LSD ones in my torches, sure the li-ion ones are brighter or run a bit longer but NiMH isn't far behind and won't explode violently if something went wrong 🙂
Can it run Doom, though?
The Omnilution 2.0 no but it can run crysis 3 at low though
3410 might it has Java ME
No but later Symbian models can ....you can change wads as well
i seen people run doom on a monochrome mp3 player
XD
These types of mobile phones are still incredibly important in 3rd world countries, where there simply isn't the bandwidth to support smartphones, or they're too expensive. BBC Click covered them a couple of years ago - they're use to deliver farming reports, weather information and even online banking to parts of Africa.
And yet a certain BBC technology correspondent plays down or bashes Nokia every chance he gets while bigging up Apple, even on stories that does not involve Apple.
I can't answer for Rory Cepllan-Jones.
fair enough LOL
These types of phones are incredibly important when you serve in the military/navy cause they can handle better signal everywhere compared to whatever smartphone you’ll try
Love that phone!
Still got mine in the cupboard with a new battery inside but the AC power adapter broke, so I just keep mine for the sake of nostalgia.
Also our budgie loved _Fool about_ :D
I myself screamed inside every time I accidentally pressed the Internet button tho as all I have is a prepaid plan which got empty faster than one might imagine when doing that mistake.
Also, the original 3310/3330 beats the new 3310 they show on MWC these days.
Keep it in good conditions, their prices are rising slowly and soon you'll be able to get back what you paid them for!
i used to teather my laptop over IR to my 6610i to get internet over wap and gprs.
The hard part was using a laptop on your knee while riding in a car, it was a nightmare to keep the phone aligned to the ir port on my IBM think pad r31 any time you hit a bump or went around a corner the phone would slide.
I was on a O2 pay and go sim and got 5mb free and then it was 10p per mb.
It wasn't supposed to work. O2 used to sell very expensive data plans on monthly contracts to mobile Internet on a laptop and one day after using it for years it just stopped working. when I phoned O2 they said it should never have worked. That's when I got a 3G Nokia on 3.
geofrancis2001 Ahhh the good old days...
I'd tether my Palm IIIx over IR...
Did anyone actually use WAP? It was just teletext but cost 20p a page and when you're on £5 credit that was extortionate.
I had T-Mobile pre-paid and a Sony Ericsson T-100 and I could wap for free. I wanted to know the costs, so I tried for 15 minutes but it didn't cost me anything. So I proceeded to use Wap an hour a day expecting my credit to go to 0 at some point but after 6 months still nothing. Then I switched to another phone, still free. 5 years later I found my old phone and it still worked, but by then wap.gmail.com and wap.ebuddy.com (msn messenger) went offline I believe so it was kinda pointless xD
I just bought the phone+sim for 100 euro's at the time, nothing special about my sim. I don't think I've ever met somebody who actually used Wap more then twice. Maybe local providers didn't bother asking the 3 users for money? xD
Van Der Funk using Wap was a party trick... I was in my teens at the time
+OttoNL Had something similar happen to me back in the day. I had a prepaid card and activated a 40MB a week package for (back then) about $1. Except they never applied the 40MB FUP. So I had unlimited mobile internet for $1 a week. Lasted about 3 years before they fixed it.
when my dial up 56k internet wasn't working this was the best next thing :) ... You could use google to browse regular web pages with WAP access by splitting them into multiple smaller pages suitable for phone and google even adjusted photos so they could be shown on small cell phones screen in lower resolution and in black and white
I wanted to but i was too scared
3:47 Seeing the Google logo on this phone is very surprising for me because I've always wondered how modern websites would look on an old device haha I'm such a nerd 😂
Kinda funny how that website you made is completely unfunctional on my modern phone :P
That's like saying it's funny that a PS3 game isn't working in a PS4. A page coded for an early phone that is capable of reading HTML will work pretty good on a modern phone.
So you're saying it should work? Can't really compare this with games, since the website does load on my phone, it's just not functioning right.
And I just think it's funny we always improve our hardware, yet ditch support for older stuff.
When you don't ditch support for older stuff, you get the clusterfuck known as the Windows codebase.
Toonit, Windows in general you mean? Win 10 has very small compatibility with older software in my experience.
When you don't ditch compatability you get an i7. Still capabale of running the old 8086 code.
They tried to go 64-Bit only with Itanium (IA-64) and that failed horribly. So horribly that they later licensed AMDs AMD64 extension for IA-32 under the name EM64T or IA32e
By using Nokia 3330 I will never have a thought CIA is listening because of the horrible internet speeds.
User NSA plants mics in all computers since the 1980s
+??? ???
Wrong. Any computer without wifi or "slow internet speeds" the NSA won't listen to, or it's impossible for the NSA to listen to them at all.
Nighterlev dumbass
@@Nighterlev Lol The internet back in the 80s and 90s were run through Telecom switches and the info was rarely encrypted. Rule of thumb: if it's over a telephone line or a fiber line, it's monitored if it's over the air it's captured. Next to nothing electronic escapes the 5 eyes.
+Joe Blow
Any computer with slow internet speeds is impossible to monitor, much less capture.
You do realize you can talk to someone with a 10-50kb/s speed and the 5 eyes won't be able to hear you at all..right? Because you'd be impossible to track.
How do I know? Hackers/criminals do this all the time lmfao. They purposely slow down the internet speed and do exactly that.
For larger pieces of data, your going to want to encrypt all the data that you send, and receive immediately. No trackers, remove them often from all websites and so on.
I still have my 3390.
I once briefly considered getting rid of it back in highschool. What stopped me is kind of a funny story.
So I was not the only one to have one of those phones in school. There were plenty floating around. I remember one girl was having a really bad argument/breakup over the phone during lunch time. She was screaming and crying... you know the typical. Eventually she threw her nokia hard down the school hallway. It slid all the way down and then bounced against the far wall bouncing back some.
She walked over and picked it up.... *bleep bleepity bleeping phone still bleeping works bleep bleep bleep*
Yeah.... I decided after that I would keep mine. I still use it today.
Fucking shitty fucking phone it still fucking works god fucking dammit
We called those the Jesus phones
So you prove that Nokia 33xx series are indestructible.
I once saw emo boy at high school and he played Bumper on his Nokia 3330. Sadly, I had 3310 and I didn't had WAP and Bumper. He had these luxuries.
Yet another emo kid with Nokia 3390.
The Nokia ringtone just makes me think of that sketch on Trigger Happy TV :)
James Grimwood HELLO!
HELLO?! Yearh .. I'm on the internet.. IN-TER-NET. Watching some NERD guy.
James Grimwood where the irony is, the phone he used was about the same size as today's handsets
Same battery life too ;-) (posted from a Note 4 that's on its second battery, with 30% charge remaining...)
Nostalgia Nerd gotta love that Nokia tune from Jurassic Park
If I believe the MAD2W21 processor in the Nokia was based on the ARM7TDMI which indirectly uses the same arm infrastructure as the Yamaha aica sound chip in the dreamcast (the more you know bah bon dun)
and the ARM7TDMI processor is the main GBA processor
Dragonfire511 ha that's what's up I've been catching up on gba games lately
and its the sound cpu for the NDS
Dragonfire511 looking at these arm chips has me thinking about comparisons specification wise about the acorn archemedis and the 3do which use arms previous generation 6 processors. Crazy the arm in the 3do is a previous arm tech than this Nokia phone
oh true! the 3do uses an arm cpu. its a 12.5mhz arm60. those arm processors were used in a lot of nokia phone and i think they were used on those running symbian
Back in around 2004 or so, I had some small Nokia phone that had no camera built-in but for $35-$45 you can buy an accessory camera that attached to the bottom of the phone to take pictures of something like 800x600 or something... I think I still got pictures from that thing on one of my old computers that I just tossed in storage, or it might be on a laptop hard drive that I stripped out of my broken laptops and is in my junk pile.
I can't even believe touch screen phones like the iphone weren't even a thing even in 2004. But I guess, mobile hardware were in its limits. And limits of CPU nano size and limits of battery tech.
Multi-touch didn't exist, and the vast majority required styluses, but touch screen smart phones definitely existed in that era. They were just very expensive. (Or not?? - Probably similar to an iPhone today, but in the mid-2000s paying that much for a phone was unthinkable.) Business people had them, though.
There were some Windows phonets, mainly from iMate (HTC). I had a few of these devices and with the limited GPRS connectivity you were able to browse the Internet, play music and video.
Yeah, I remember that model.
6:00 I never had a nokia phone, but that ringtone Always gives me a nostalgia-like feeling. :)
Now max out your data plan with *that*.
Emrldy have a 3310 3g and its about $10 out of $30 lol
Your username my guy lol
When I was a kid I asked for a 3330 and got one on my birthday. I used it to access the WAP version of the Ali G Translator, and I downloaded all the extra levels for Space Impact. It was beautiful.
You're a legend xD
6:00
-*HELLO?*
-*I'M WATCHING NOSTALGIA NERD.*

-*NO, IT'S SHIT!*
great vid thanks for posting!
5:35 Nobody saw that, there is nothing there.
fuzzlenutberry shhhhh
fuck that sshit bruv, it was a booger. . . probably dried in open air
fuzzlenutberry I'm confused.

2002: WAP was Internet
2020: WAP is food or the other meaning
either way, it's all good😂
5:58 - You forgot to turn down the volume a bit! .-.
Architector #4 nah, I wanted to create an authentic experience.
Woah. Mindblown.
I have fantasies of getting really good at programming and just going full C64 for my computing needs.
not that difficult.
since the c64 uses a 6502 ,
a great start is to learn the 6502 assembly language from this awesome site skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/
and if you want to learn more about the hardware of a 6502 cpu, you can make your own basic 6502 computer with the help of this site :

+Hylian Mario I don't know about that. I hear their servers have more firewalls than the devil's bedroom.
Techmoan !!LOL
The Fun Bros I love it that he referenced Techmoan. We've had ths Techmoan/8 Bit Guy collab but what we really need is the Ben Heck/8 Bit Guy/Techmoan/Nostalgia Nerd/Big Clive/EEVBlog/LGR and Ashens collab
The Retro Revival Literally everyone I watch. They should make a podcast or something
CrAzYgIrL IKR. They really should, I'd definitely watch it.
I think we should add some lift/elevator filmers like Beno and HeritageElevators to that list!
@The Retro Revival - I watch all those channels too
I'm not sure if the 3330 was released here in Australia or not, I had a 3310, I bought it in 2002 and I loved it. Of course the 3310 didn't have WAP access or some of the features found on the 3330. I didn't know that Orange sold these phones, I got my 3310 from Optus. Yay for the Techmoan reference.
I thought Australia got 3315...
Someone at Vodafone “holy shit guys someone is using the dial up!”
no way i am commenting this video using a nokia e72. i cant watch this video coz my browser do not support html5 vids
I used mine to access my Yahoo Mail account and get news headlines back in the day. Great phone for it's time.
Nokias are still seriously tough little things. I have a Nokia 520 from a few years back, and I've dropped it several dozen times, several of which were onto concrete, and you'd really have to pay VERY close attention to it to even see any signs of damage.
Meanwhile I dropped both an old samsung feature phone and a Samsung tablet considerably fewer times and the damage is far more visible and dramatic. (Still not enough to kill either device. Not even close. But in terms of cosmetic damage there's no comparison.)
Nokias are tough. Even modern ones.
I agree. My E51 was virtually indestructible (sadly stolen when I lent it to a colleague). Dropped it on concrete more times than I care to remember. Took a drunk husband of a friend to throw my N8 against a wall before it stopped working. Dropped my 6600 (one of their first Symbian-powered phones) in a river once and just dried it off - no harm done. My friend's Sony-Ericsson of the same age fell in water once and the joystick stopped working.
Here's holding thumbs that Nokia's new Android-powered range is as robust as the Nokia phones we've come to love.
Right, that's it, I'm downloading those tones onto my BB Android RIGHT NOW.
Thank you so very much from a Nokia 3330 original owner back in the day! I still remember my dad paying for it with a shoe box full of old Spanish money just because I wanted a phone with infrared to play snake with my friends. I never used the functionality because when my friends actually got around to own one of this phones I had a Motorola 525 with 3g and bluetooth capabilities. It turns out that 5 yo kids didn't have the power to convince fathers that everyone else had one. Aaaaaah, the good old early 2000's...
Spanish pesetas ?
The custom welcome screen takes me back, I remember setting all different fonts etc., every morsel of customisation was amazing back then :D I genuinely think they were the best era of mobile phones, my 3510 lasted for a week with texting, playing Snake, and two weeks if you left it alone. The colour 3510i was noticeably worse, even before the real battery killer touchscreens came along (my N95 was similarly bad).
I'm so glad we have smart phones now. I remember people used to go through their ring tones and text tones when they were bored.
Granted it would seem that at least people are starting to finally catch on to putting the damn things on silent. So many people at my school would just have their phone making constant noise because they didn't know how to stop notifications for everything.
No, I'm pissed of smartphones. And smartphones exist since 1998.
Damn..that's hurdy gurdy tone...that's really bring me nostalgia..my favorite ringtone..
6:06 The first thing I thought at this ringtone was "Imaginary Places" by Busdriver from Tony Hawk's Underground
This was my first phone, strong nostalgia. I can even remember the smell!
Menu star to lock, I'd forgotten that
holnrew Our 👃smell memory is the strongest of all our memories. Did you know that?
Rex Luminus Lol I really really miss the old days
you shoud make bbs telnet portal instead of wap site.
Actually Looney Toons is now spelled Looney Tunes. Mandela Effect much!?
Alexander Colon It always was Looney Tunes. People get confused and mis-remember the name due to Tiny Toon Adventures.
Nice @Techmoan shout out.
Hi, I'm crying.
Brian Deeb hi crying, I'm dad
Jack Paskievitch lol
Nokia was the king of mobile phones. It had the most expensive phones. It was tightly collaborated with mobile phone carriers. Many subscribers preferred higher monthly contracts for a cheaper Nokia phone.
Nokia software was revolutionary for its time with many many innovations. I remember that many people were avoiding to change brand because Nokia was the easiest and most straightforward. Nokia was the first to fully embrace the unexpected SMS revolution. It offered messages beyond the default 160 characters and icons which were only recognizable between Nokia phones. It was a nice practice because many people preferred Nokia in order to be compatible with the other Nokia phones of friends or partners. Nokia unwillingly had created an ecosystem between its phones similar to iOS. Until early 2000 phone calls were very expensive and the SMS market was huge and very profitable.
Also it introduced games that could be played between Nokia phones through infrared connection, like the unforgettable snake. Nokia was a trendy item like the iPod and iPhone later. And we should not forget that Nokia produced the first practical mobile phone with camera which could send MMS. MMS wasn't successful like SMS because it was too expensive but phones with cameras became popular and affordable very fast after 2002.
Nokia was offering at least a week of true mobile usage before recharging and some models even two weeks. I remember friends who were recharging their phone only three times per month. This battery autonomy is unthinkable today but was a serious criterium for choosing a mobile phone and Nokia was the best on that.
During late 90's mobile internet was ridiculously expensive and only Nokia Communicator which was initially based on a intel 386 desktop underpowered CPU could offer some basic browsing and email potential.
The WAP was a fiasco. I have tried it many times with the revolutionary at the time GPRS. For browsing ten WAP enabled websites five euros were needed. Very few major websites were WAP compatible with very little content. It was good for emergency use but not at all for every day mobile internet.
Of course professionals could use their mobiles phones as a modem for their laptops everywhere. All premium mobiles phones could connect during late 90's through infrared or serial proprietary cable. USB awash ambiguous yet. The internet speed was between the basic 9kbits or GPRS 50Kbits. Enough for checking emails with small photos or very slowly opening a few websites. Professionals were having profits by using the internet and very expensive mobile internet didn't matter at the end of the day. However the professionals who truly needed mobile internet was a niche market. Mobile phone manufacturers and mobile carriers didn't have any serious profits for investing on fast mobile internet. After all the first generation of mobile phones was targeted only to professionals and for that only it wasn't profitable.
Nokia had very robust phones too. (My iPhone 4 had a serious problem with the central button. My iPhone 5 had a permanent problem with the power button and the display. My iPhone 6 after two years had a devastating problem with the battery. I don't know what will appear with iPhone 7 plus.) My Nokia phones were nearly indestructible. The display wasn't crashed after many falls. It was a little scratched but that was not a problem for just selecting phone contacts or viewing SMS messages. I could use it safely with wet hands at the beach or during skiing. iPhone on the other hand demands a protective case or a screen protector. That protections methods were unheard for Nokia phones of 90's.
Nokia not only had tremendously large autonomy but it was easy to change the battery with a full recharged in a free seconds. Which premium smartphones allows that today?
Nowadays is very common to end without battery after ten hours of playing games or browsing. For a 90's Nokia phone that was unbelievable and unacceptable.
During 90's and early 2000 people had mobile phones. Today there aren't mobile phones. There are just pocket computers with cameras which can connect to internet through the mobile data networks and make calls.
You are sounding more and more like Clint from LGR!
The browser of this phone gave me nightmares
i see you everywhere !! dayuuumm
mat rush
For all you Mandela affect people out there. At 6:52 check out the “LOONEY TOONS” ringtone name on an old school Nokia 3330!!!
better than I phone
How did u connect it to the internet and how to connect to WAP ??????????????????????????
The 3210 definitely lacked durability. I remember not long after spending all my birthday money plus saved pocket money buying one that the screen got smashed when I was at school; it was in my pocket, and I got pushed, not very hard, into a parked car, I was bloody devastated!
I remember used to messing with my mom nokia 3315, and trying to connect to internet using it's guidebooks..but still cant do that because internet carrier in my country is really suck back in the day 😅😅
I had a 3410 for my first phone :) ah, the times of charging your phone once a week.
Awesome video, the Nokia 3330 was amazing, the things that he say about it was interesting, specially when Is surfing in the web.
It took me bloody years to learn how to use touchscreen smartphones... I'm buggerd if I'm going back to that!!
Back in the days when phones were still fit in the pocket and the only fear when owning a Nokia 3310 is not breaking the phone but breaking things surrounding it and killing people and animals
