When I was in elementary school many years ago, the main competition in my social circle was Nokia and Blackberry. When the iPhone came out, all of my friends abandoned their Nokias and Blackberry's. Never to be seen again.
シMCD456シ I remember bragging about the Google phone for years before it came out, I was even in a beta testers list, which I found I had signed up for after they had ended it all my friends has razors and make fun of my Nokia brick. then all my friends got the g1 and made fun of my nokia brick. btw, pop out sliding keyboards ftw. I even had a nokia with a fold out keyboard
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
Mahone With the 6210 after that, you could create your own picture sms, on a pc with a special cable. Spent hours creating funny toons to send to friends. The good old days.... Lolz
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
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.
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.
when I was in elementary, my school prohibited students to bring mobile phones that's why I used to hide my 3310 inside my brief because the school checks every student's pocket every morning and all phones were confiscated. if you want to get your phone back, you need to ask your parents to get it for you. every time someone texts me or calls me, it really tickles my balls. haha! my teacher oftentimes hear the vibration but couldn't find it. hahaha!
@@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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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.

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.
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...
@@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.
Fun fact - the only difference between 3310 and 3330 was EEPROM size. 3310 had 2 MB and 3330 had 4 MB for the flash. Some of 3310s actually had the 4 MB chip and could be flashed to 3330 and get internet connectivity as this was software-only and required no additional hardware. I remember hoping and checking for a 4 MB chip when hacking around with my 3310. It only had 2 MB so the best I could do was to flash it to be 3315 that had some minor updates like automatic keypad locking and timed profiles. Later I got an old and ugly 3310 from someone and actually succeeded in converting it to 3330 as this one was one of the 4 MB variants. There was a quite active DCT3 (firmware family of 5110, 3210, 3310, 3330, and likes) hacking community back in the day. These phones could be flashed with patched firmware and there were free tools (like Nokix) that even allowed to write your own applications for them. Popular mods were new games, fading LEDs, call duration display, 7 battery and reception bars, alarm repeating.
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.
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
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
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.
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 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
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.
I've got a 3310 and shortly after upgraded to the 3410 that was in the first year of secondary school (high school), man the nostalgia is overwhelming.
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
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.
So much nostalgia from those ring tones. I remember looking through magazines to text and get new ones. I remember getting excited by polyphonic ring tones
F-- brilliant man. I was in Junior High when this phone came out. I used the Nokia 635 and 640 and switched to the LG K10 with T Mobile USA. Who would ever have thought of always on LTE in 1998? I swear its amazing.
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 remember upgrading from a Motorola 520 to a Nokia 3410 in the early 2000s, It was insane! I never really used the browser though, my very young self couldn't stomach using credit on such a "novelty". I have came to depend on my iPhone in these times, but part of me is really waiting to see the new 3310, it has me intrigued :)
Hello! Nostalgia my friend! You turn me more than 15 years back! I really appreciate it continue the good job! I didn t know actually that Nokia 3310 had internet service! I m surprised!
I still have a few 3310 / 30s kicking about, I seemed to acquire them from people when I was still using one after everyone moved on. Used it a couple of years ago when my smartphone went missing. I managed to break two over the years! I cracked the screen on one and the other ended up in a pint trying to see how resilient it was when I was pissed. To be fair after a couple not months it dried out and worked again! Greatest phone of all time
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 loved that game 'Bantumi' -played it all the time. I still have my Nokia handset in a box out in the garage, along with maybe 10 or 12 other phones, lol
Woah! Too cool! Thanks for introducing me to the concept "WML", it's also interesting that there was an extension for Google Chrome that allows Chrome to display it. :D
I kept using a Nokia 5210 up until 2015 when Telstra turned off their 2g network. If they hadn't, I'd still be using it. Most reliable phone I ever owned. Nowadays I use it to end disagreements very quickly.
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.
WAP was great. I used to travel around the UK a lot on the trains going to various customer sites, and I used WAP to get train time tables and routes.. all on a trusty nokia :)
One of the best to love Nokias for was menu navigation. During a time when taking phone off the pocket you were able to unlock it, press combination of buttons, e.g. 3-3-1 and you were ready to write a text before you could see the screen... Try it today ;-)
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!
I remember WAP, it died pretty horribly due to the rights holders filing lawsuits aimed at anyone even thinking about making a compatible site without a license, which made WAP pages few and far between. It was eventually replaced with a cut down version of XHTML I think was called Mobile XHTML, or just XHTML, but that was short-lived as phones of that era was on the cusp of being able to handle full HTML pages.
When I was in elementary school many years ago, the main competition in my social circle was Nokia and Blackberry. When the iPhone came out, all of my friends abandoned their Nokias and Blackberry's. Never to be seen again.
It was always Nika and Samsung here. Some had a Sony or Motorola, but you couldnt download overpriced ringtone subscriptions for it :D

Spanish pesetas ?
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.
Fun fact - the only difference between 3310 and 3330 was EEPROM size. 3310 had 2 MB and 3330 had 4 MB for the flash. Some of 3310s actually had the 4 MB chip and could be flashed to 3330 and get internet connectivity as this was software-only and required no additional hardware.
I remember hoping and checking for a 4 MB chip when hacking around with my 3310. It only had 2 MB so the best I could do was to flash it to be 3315 that had some minor updates like automatic keypad locking and timed profiles. Later I got an old and ugly 3310 from someone and actually succeeded in converting it to 3330 as this one was one of the 4 MB variants.
There was a quite active DCT3 (firmware family of 5110, 3210, 3310, 3330, and likes) hacking community back in the day. These phones could be flashed with patched firmware and there were free tools (like Nokix) that even allowed to write your own applications for them. Popular mods were new games, fading LEDs, call duration display, 7 battery and reception bars, alarm repeating.
7 bar battery? a free battery upgrade?😮😂
the unbreakable phone
jep, but the accu isnt unbreakable =/.
I need in the next Months a new Accu ^^, they cost only 10€.

2002: WAP was Internet
2020: WAP is food or the other meaning
either way, it's all good😂
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...
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
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
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.
Right, that's it, I'm downloading those tones onto my BB Android RIGHT NOW.
i can't believe that you can connect to the internet using wap!!!!!awesome!!!!!!!
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
Awesome video, the Nokia 3330 was amazing, the things that he say about it was interesting, specially when Is surfing in the web.
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).
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
I subscribed. Now all i have to do is to watch all your videos. :)
Even to this day, he is still subscribed
@@Kamilazad37 Lmao, legend says he is still watching his videos
The nokia still amazing
It took me bloody years to learn how to use touchscreen smartphones... I'm buggerd if I'm going back to that!!
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.
I've got a 3310 and shortly after upgraded to the 3410 that was in the first year of secondary school (high school), man the nostalgia is overwhelming.
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
Really cool that you made a version of your website in WML. I just had to try it on my sony ericsson w800i and it worked fine. :)
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 :
lateblt.tripod.com/6502prj1.htm
+Hylian Mario I don't know about that. I hear their servers have more firewalls than the devil's bedroom.
Wow! I love when you played the preloaded ringtones. That was such a throwback!
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...
Thank you for bringing back space impact memories for me, used to love that game
Damn..that's hurdy gurdy tone...that's really bring me nostalgia..my favorite ringtone..
5:58 - You forgot to turn down the volume a bit! .-.
Architector #4 nah, I wanted to create an authentic experience.
Woah. Mindblown.
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.
So much nostalgia from those ring tones. I remember looking through magazines to text and get new ones. I remember getting excited by polyphonic ring tones
great vid thanks for posting!
Got a 3310 for my 17th birthday back in 2002. when you played those ringtones I almost cried lol
Someone at Vodafone “holy shit guys someone is using the dial up!”
I remember getting my 3330 and I was in love with it and I was the envy of all my friends. Also, your own ringtone maker, the nostalgia! ^_^
6:06 The first thing I thought at this ringtone was "Imaginary Places" by Busdriver from Tony Hawk's Underground
one of the best retro phones ever, I had one, had my own case on it and ofc downloaded a personalized ring tone
Nice @Techmoan shout out.
F-- brilliant man. I was in Junior High when this phone came out. I used the Nokia 635 and 640 and switched to the LG K10 with T Mobile USA. Who would ever have thought of always on LTE in 1998? I swear its amazing.
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 remember upgrading from a Motorola 520 to a Nokia 3410 in the early 2000s, It was insane! I never really used the browser though, my very young self couldn't stomach using credit on such a "novelty". I have came to depend on my iPhone in these times, but part of me is really waiting to see the new 3310, it has me intrigued :)
6:00
-*HELLO?*
-*I'M WATCHING NOSTALGIA NERD.*
-*NOOSTAALGIAA. NEERRD.*
-*WHAT?*
-*NO, IT'S SHIT!*
Hello! Nostalgia my friend! You turn me more than 15 years back! I really appreciate it continue the good job! I didn t know actually that Nokia 3310 had internet service! I m surprised!
You are sounding more and more like Clint from LGR!
wow , recognized every ringtone within a sec. Nostalgia overflowing!
Hi, I'm crying.
Brian Deeb hi crying, I'm dad
Jack Paskievitch lol
I still have a few 3310 / 30s kicking about, I seemed to acquire them from people when I was still using one after everyone moved on. Used it a couple of years ago when my smartphone went missing. I managed to break two over the years! I cracked the screen on one and the other ended up in a pint trying to see how resilient it was when I was pissed. To be fair after a couple not months it dried out and worked again! Greatest phone of all time
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 had one with the jack Daniels cover..it was awesome!! You make this guy turn in melancholy state..
you shoud make bbs telnet portal instead of wap site.
I remember using the internet like this. It felt like the future !!!
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.
really enjoyed your trip down memory lane with the Nokia, they made some good phones, I can't help but collect them.. lol
The browser of this phone gave me nightmares
i see you everywhere !! dayuuumm
Those tunes and space impact 😃....
There is so much nostalgia in this video.
dude, this is one of the best videos you have ever done! I've not heard them ring tones since i was a teenager!!
Marky Mark I'm glad you enjoyed it
better than I phone
My mum uses a Nokia 1100 as a secondary phone which I used for a few weeks when my phone wasn't working. Amazing how easy phones can be!
Nice! I remember when I saw phone carrier adverts in the newspapers and they mentioned stuff like "polyphonic ringtones" and "MMS"...
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
That end tune, defiantly nostalgic
One of the most beautiful and iconic design of all time.. still love the design till now.
I loved that game 'Bantumi' -played it all the time.
I still have my Nokia handset in a box out in the garage, along with maybe 10 or 12 other phones, lol
Our first household mobile was a 5110i. Brick of a phone. I loved it
Woah! Too cool! Thanks for introducing me to the concept "WML", it's also interesting that there was an extension for Google Chrome that allows Chrome to display it. :D
I grew up with these phones. The 5110 and 3310 were some of the first phones I used.
Great video, have had alot of phones, loved the Nokia but after my first android in 2009 I never looked back.
Oh the Nostalgia. My first phone was the 3310 and those ringtones...
How do you only have 66k subscribers?! Your videos are all super high quality and very entertaining. Keep up the great work.
I kept using a Nokia 5210 up until 2015 when Telstra turned off their 2g network.
If they hadn't, I'd still be using it. Most reliable phone I ever owned.
Nowadays I use it to end disagreements very quickly.
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.
Great video! These phones were from before my time but still interesting to see.
I love how dallas texas is in the orange 1994 ad
Reminded me my first every mobile. My mate got a Nokia 3330 and I went for the Motorola T190. Oh the good old days of mobile being just a phone:-)
Ahhhh nostalgic day with that phone!!! I remember play snake game in that midnight :P..really miss old days
the Nokia ring tone was a punch to the face of nostalgia
WAP was great. I used to travel around the UK a lot on the trains going to various customer sites, and I used WAP to get train time tables and routes.. all on a trusty nokia :)
One of the best to love Nokias for was menu navigation.
During a time when taking phone off the pocket you were able to unlock it, press combination of buttons, e.g. 3-3-1 and you were ready to write a text before you could see the screen...
Try it today ;-)
This video is the COOLEST thing I've seen in a LONG time!
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!
I still have this phone as secondary phone.😎. I love this.
I remember WAP, it died pretty horribly due to the rights holders filing lawsuits aimed at anyone even thinking about making a compatible site without a license, which made WAP pages few and far between. It was eventually replaced with a cut down version of XHTML I think was called Mobile XHTML, or just XHTML, but that was short-lived as phones of that era was on the cusp of being able to handle full HTML pages.
