It'd literally sound like sci-fi horror to them. "Companies designed the most addictive algorithms, for Endless consumption. Everyone is addicted to it and can't stop looking at it"
@@peterclarke7240 The hardware wasn't really the letdown here. It's the same as any $40 TracFone you can buy at a gas station. The operating system cutting off a huge chunk of software was the sledgehammer to the kneecaps for this thing.
@@VulpesHilarianus I know- my point was there's a reason why none of the big names do this, even though it's a fairly obvious idea- You're sacrificing space in a phone that could better be used with practically anything else, particularly at this price point, and you're relying on either your earbuds being good enough or easily replaced with third-party products when they inevitably break or get lost. It's a silly gimmick, essentially, and we're quite a long way past the wild west days of silly gimmicks in mobile phones. Put this phone up against any other similarly priced phone and it'll probably lose, because earbuds are relatively cheap and a dead easy after market thing to install, whereas a semi-decent camera, or a bit more memory, are things outside the skill of most normal people to mod.
@@peterclarke7240 I think the real problem is that Nokia's so close to actually getting it right, but they're still stuck in 2005 mentally. Imagine a phone with the classic keypad layout and a touch pad in the center between the call and end call buttons that doubles as the traditional button. Pair that with modern Android and you've got a phone that a lot of people will use. There's a market of unknown but theoretically big enough size made up of people who don't want the features of a smartphone because they don't use them, but want access to things like, as Dank stated, Spotify, RUclips, and Snapchat. Nokia sticking with Symbian 20 is absolutely wrecking their ability to actually sell the phones, because the market of people who want a straight feature phone is too small.
@@VulpesHilarianus it’s actually not Symbian anymore, it’s what the Firefox Mobile OS evolved into, but Nokia has customised it so the menus etc are very similar to Symbian.
There’s a joke in Futurama (which is set in the year 3000 in case you didn’t know) where in like season 1-2 Amy’s phone is so small she swallows it… then in like season 7-8 or whatever they have tablets for phones lol
I think though we’ve hit the limit. Things like Pro Max/Plus are too large to be convenient for me, and I have bigger than average hands. I would hovever absolutely don’t mind having thicker phone to allow for longer-lasting battery.
@@DoubleU555 same. have big hands, so I onto mind them moderately big, but a bit thicker for more battery would be nice. and the most ironic thing is. my new one is a bit thicker than my last one, but without headphone jack. if the thin one can do it, why not the thicc boi...
Yeah i kind of hate it, i wish they would go back to making them 4-5 inches or at least offer smaller size phones with decent specs, theyre kind of big and clunky now almost like carrying a tablet with you.
Just think, many years from now someone is gonna come across one of these old nuggets in the wild and find a crunchy video of an Aussie man talking to their pet snake.
Dank. I wanna say this real quick. Your videos are the only ones on RUclips that I pause everything for. Homework and other stuff fly out the window when you upload a new one. Your vids are seriously funny and your personality is so refreshing. Sure I like Game Grumps and commentary RUclipsrs, but I get tired of their content real quick. Content about iPods and electronics that I have little to no interest in? Never gets old. This content is the type of stuff I listen to when I’m tired of everything else and need a break. Honestly, keep making videos and keep brightening our lives funny iPod man!
But yeah, honestly you're the only channel I watch as soon as I can. I cannot express how amazing your content is, it's just the best. Keep it goin, man! Hopefully one day I'll have a sustainable income and can support you more than just watching the vids, lol.
I had the Nokia 5130 expressmusic, also in red and black back then. It was my favourite phone for a long time, because the music buttons were so freaking handy. It was perfect for me, since I didn't want an mp3 player AND a phone, and that combined them perfectly. But seeing it "remade" into such a clunky and generally bad thing, is kinda sad
Like seriously. I got my old Samsung brick from 2011, that thing has seen over a decade of nearly daily abuse, I slapped a 16 Gig memory card in it, use some cheapo headphones that sound decent and viola, perfect mp3 player!
i remember my dad had an N95 and that had the slide mechanism where if you slid it up it revealed a T9 keyboard, but if you slid it down you got media controls. always thought that was so cool
I've been die hard on them KZs since you recommended them and they have been the best buds I've ever used. I use them for music, gaming, and show watching. I love them.
You need to try "Linsoul Salnotes Zero" and you will never look back to KZ, especially if you value your money. Those things are the best you can get under 50 bucks and they cost around 20. Their tuning is just *chef's kiss* perfect and you get a detachable cable.
I remember getting a Nokia 5310 in high-school and loving the hell out of it! The form factor felt so good in my hand, and it was the first time I had a cellphone that felt like a music player because of the 3.5mm jack with the dedicated audio controls on the side. And to top it all off, I got a god dam GBC emulator working for it. Got me through a lot of classes.
I remember fondly my original Nokia 6300 I had back in school. It was built like a brick, all sides aluminium, had sick LEDs (that did NOT flash to rhythm of music, what a waste), it had... an adequate music player, could read up to 2GB microSD card, which honestly, for that time was also adequate, and it was a java phone with 2G, so with Opera Mini and some instant messenger apps it was like a precursor for a really early modern smartphone. Ive even replaced it only after Ive found an Xperia X10 with slider QWERTY keyboard, thats how fine that phone was. I miss long car rides with me blasting tunes on earbuds and chatting with friends on IM on that phone...
My friend had one. My Siemens CX70 actually could flash with music but having only 10 MB means it's either 20 s songs, AMRs or MIDIs and i usually had mix of later ones.
3:58 you can tell they're the cheap gas station buds from the os labeling. They have the "TWS" label show up. Didn't even bother to change it at Nokia.
Yeah, I wonder if the earbuds have any type of replacement warranty. My huge condolences to the customer service reps who will probably get endless calls from people who've inevitably lost or broken theirs.
I have the 5310 express music. Built in media controls THAT LIGHT UP! so even the lower end models got some sort of fun feature. And it still works perfectly fine. Charges over that Nokia pin charger and has micro USB for data transfer. Love it
Ohh dude the bonus video this week. The nostalgia. I’d love to see you review the actual retro XpressMusic one this chonkster is using the design of, that was actually sleek and a bunch of people in my school used them as serious MP3 players.
I had a Nokia 3310 for years, it glowed in the dark and I remember deleting snake on it by accident when I was 4 years old lmao. Used it until about 5 years ago when I turned 19 and got an iPhone. I still have it and the battery most likely still has charge. That thing was built to last
Oh man I had an XpressMusic phone many years ago - the gimmick of my phone, the 5310, was that it was very thin for the time (because it wasn't an inch thick brick) and it had controls for music to the side of the screen. Loved that phone, it was the first time music and phones ever mixed for me and the music buttons were actually useful. If you ever wanted to do a follow-up, definitely have a look at that beautiful nugget.
Same, although I'm not really a fan of this new one. It changed too much, and not for the better imo. Symbian was good; KaiOS has too much google and not enough of the options I want (like disabling the startup noise).
I feel so bad for convincing my dad to get the new 3310, I had faith in Nokia and he needed a modern brick. Sadly it died way too soon, and it was clearly just a shadow of the original :'( Now he uses an alcatel I found for less than a dollar in a flea market, that I bought for myself to use it as an MP3 player lmao, he's so happy with it, it was totally worth it And this one seemed fine enough for me to get, and I'm glad I waited until your video (yes I was expecting your opinion before trying this lol). You saved me quite some money, so thank you Dankpods :D Edit: that version of Snake is just ugly! lol
if you can convince nokia to make another 3310 that has same price tag to modren flagship phone, i am sure that the phone will last extheme long and hard to break
@@tylern6420 500 chilean pesos, no idea how much is in kangaroos... but it died recently, the battery turned into a spicy pillow. RIP cheap Alcatel, you did your best.
0:56 Everyone seems to talk about that Nokia 3310 nowadays, but I remember having the Nokia 1100 around the time, which came out a little later and was a slightly cheaper version I believe. It was as basic as a cell phone could get, but the damn thing was pretty much indestructible!
You have conditioned my brain to rejoice as soon there's new input on that static green slab. No matter if it's a real stinker and won't even treat a pkcell right - it's a golden nug experience, every time.
i had a 5310 xpressmusic in like 2012. amazing phone. had a 512M sd card fillled with ripped cds and i played a ton of the sims 2, tetris and snake 3 on it.
@dankpods just a note, the snake style of movement can be changed in the app settings, I too prefer the right angle way. Also the 3310 3g was my first phone so it'll always have a place in my heart. Also I played or tried around 200 2000's games on it by installing with the java JAR files.
Honestly, I'd be more than willing to deal with a chonky phone. If it had built in buds, good padding/protection, decent specs (I game a lot with my phone) and a big battery.. like if you've ever seen the energizer phone. Sacrifice a bit of that massive batt in place for buds and boom! It's humongous yes.. but I could deal.
Even if it had some form of Spotify that could only play your liked music, maybe it downloads of wifi. But I’m not going back to the days of RUclips to MP3, my Spotify is too large and I’m too lazy 😂
My first phone was a Nokia 5610 XPress Music! Classic Slider with a T9 Keyboard... Sliding mechanism to go between MP3 Player, Radio and Home Screen. I loved that thing!
6:35 For me, it's the other way around: streaming is so reliable for me. I download tracks I want to play offline, and they play perfectly, not to mention the vast amount of content I can download. With my CDs, some of them don't copy over perfectly, which makes them chop sometimes, and it's much more of a hassle if you want a lot of music copied over.
I didn’t even know Nokia still existed. My second ever phone was a Nokia 5730 XpressMusic. It did everything! Dedicated music buttons, N-Gage capability, full keyboard even! I didn’t have any friends to text but I mean that’s besides the point.
The idea of having your wireless buds built in the smartphone is interesting, imagine a high end phone that has built in high end buds, I'd probably buy it, and people would stop complaining about the removal of the jack (if the buds are good).
Every time I think companies manage to move past making nuggets, here comes Nokia making something from stock parts and programming. Almost expect to find this brick in an arcade machine 🕹
It’s sad that modern “Nokia” isn’t actually trying to revive that cellphone market, I grew up on Nokia phones starting with 1100, then going to Asha 202, then to Asha 308, and to Asha 300, where 300 was much better model with 5MP camera, 3G, and a lot of memory/storage compared to most other Nokia cellphones, it was cool to use those devices at the time, nowadays I do have 5130 XpressMusic for music, as it’s small and has side buttons for music control, it even has those cool music lights, it’s a very cool phone even if it’s from 2009, and I can easily connect my wireless earbuds if I want
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic was my first smartphone back in the day. Everything but the software on that phone was great, even the included dirty buds. Sad to see how far the brand has fallen.
Man I was really looking forward to buying this nugget and making it my phone for High School and Collage,since I wanted a phone that only does calls and let's me listen to music on the go. It's so sad that Nokia doesn't give a damn about making this more appealing and really working with the budget. Another classic big companies stink moment.
Earphones inside the phone is the coolest ever idea, I really need it tbh. Even a smartphone case that somehow has a place for earphones would be amazing
Holy crap! I had a 3205!! (Same as the 3200 but CDMA). That thing was actually indestructible. It fell multiple storeys onto concrete and was totally perfect. It had a torch built in and was super tiny. I actually still have it despite it being utterly pointless now. I didn't keep the next and final Nokia that I had after that.
I had Nokia 5130 Xpress Music, I was using that in 2010 when I was in 6th grade, iphones were very expensive for us and smartphones weren't a thing here in Bangladesh at that time. I only cared about Java games. I loved playing asphalt and COD and Bounce Tales on that thing. I had a couple of other Nokias following that, like Nokia 2700 and 6303i and in 2012 I got my first "smartphone", Nokia E72 and that was the best and by that time Smartphones were getting popular and most of my friends had Samsung Galaxy Y and got an Android in 2013 but I kept using my Nokia E72 because the camera was amazing at the time. One thing unique about 5130 was the loud speaker, it was very loud for those mobiles. Good old days
Most people buying "dumb" phones now are not running back to them to get away from the internet, but buying them as their first phone. Just having SMS makes a massive difference. Many of these feature phone now use KaiOS which has basic internet browsers and whatsapp, which makes them the cheapest way to get online by far.
Well, i used OperaMini mod and used internet on all of my phones. Operators were baffled when i asked for settings, i sometimes called only for fun, because at that time, it was only for smartphones to use proper GPRS and not plebby WAP. I was using VK (russian Facebook) before it had mobile version, even some html games were working. Also Jim (ICQ) were popular but with internet being quite expensive i rarely used it to communicate, mostly voice call.
The software on the modern Nokias have no relation to the old Nokia S40 system, it's more or less a skin on some Mediatek chipset reference software. It's actually missing a lot of features that were in the actual Nokia developed system from 15 years ago 👌
I swear. I have a little kiddie smartwatch I was given by a friend as a joke, and it features literally every bootleg game on that Nokia. Same music loops and everything. What a world.
I had the original 5310 XpressMusic back in school.. in black&red... loved it, played so many games during classes that i broke the nr 4 key :D So, of course I got very excited that they made a new version.... But now i'm just sad :( (still a great video nevertheless :) )
2006 Nokia? That must have the fabled 2.5mm headphone jack! Now that's some real audiophile stuff. (Some of those latter half of 00s phones could even play mp3s right out of the box and still had 2.5mm headphone jacks. It's as if Nokia was actively trying to avoid people giving them money.)
Reminds me of those “1000 in 1 brick game” thingies… 8:18 There. Now it’s a 1000 in 1 brick game thing. Wait this was a just released device?! I sure love living under a rock
Nokia e52 was the best cellphone i ever owned. Stylish, decent camera, not much stupid stuff, and the groundbreaker that was an ability to minimize apps like you do with a computer taskbar or modern smartphones. It was so nice to swap between texting people and changing music tracks. Genuinly great phone.
That would be cool for this phone if it wasn't for the fact that it only has 128 MB of storage. I mean, at that point, why even bother with this phone lmao
Just a quick question for you: have you ever heard of the ROG centuroi 7.1 headset, if not you should take a look at that since it has a little gimmick called true 7.1 as Asus advertises it. I have had that headset before it was nice as a gaming headset especially with all those speakers/drivers on each side because if I remember correctly they have 5 on each ear cup and I would love to know that you think of those and as always nice vid
Really didn't expect to see this phone covered here, but now that it has it seems oddly perfect. A hybrid of two different spheres of nuggets! Shame HMD seems to be meh(current phone's a Nokia 5.4, previously had a 6 and a 3 before that)
@@penatio I had a Nokia 8 for a couple years - the warranty gave me all my money back by the end and I still would rather have just bought something else. Don't have much good to say about the 2720 Flip we got our grandparents either.
@@Sabrintwitt3r Yeah, I loved my 3, and especially the 6. That thing was a tank and a half, I switched to the 5.4 mostly because I wanted USB-C and I was given it.
I had the 6 and honestly it wasn’t that great. the fingerprint reader gave me issues (like, sometimes forgetting my fingerprint after restarting the phone) and the software was kinda buggy. the camera was pretty meh too
I'm reading so many comments saying that this video lightened up their day when they had a shitty day. It's been a shitty few weeks for me too and as we all unite under this insane RUclips channel, I'd like to tell you that even if your day sucked, it's gonna get better! 1 grit community ftw.

i still have my 5130, The headphone output is too good, better than some iPods, thing accepts a 32gb sd card
@@SUPERBOBESPONJA1000 exactly! They actually put decent converters in it. Unlike this cheap churned-out gimmick.
@@kaitlyn__L with the 32gb sd card and AAC i managed to get out really decent audio, might had blowed up a subwoofer with it
@@SUPERBOBESPONJA1000 noice 😁
I had a Nokia 3310 for years, it glowed in the dark and I remember deleting snake on it by accident when I was 4 years old lmao.
Used it until about 5 years ago when I turned 19 and got an iPhone. I still have it and the battery most likely still has charge. That thing was built to last
Honestly, if earbuds were more standardized I would definitely buy this phone just for the fun of it and place in my own earbuds.
Oh man I had an XpressMusic phone many years ago - the gimmick of my phone, the 5310, was that it was very thin for the time (because it wasn't an inch thick brick) and it had controls for music to the side of the screen. Loved that phone, it was the first time music and phones ever mixed for me and the music buttons were actually useful. If you ever wanted to do a follow-up, definitely have a look at that beautiful nugget.
I always love the old xpress music the design is amazing the screen quality is nice and the ringtone and the os is just clean
2:27 Thank you for these masterpieces of nugget videos. The audio and video are spot on for future meme material
8:54 The way he sings Tetris is reminding me to this one clip of trump where he goes bing bing bong bonb
Frank just chillin is my mood when I'm at work.
PLEASE post your Spotify playlist a guy like you must have immaculate music taste. I love your videos!
I actually really like Nokia's OS, and the fact that it's consistent between phones is a huge plus for me.
Same, although I'm not really a fan of this new one. It changed too much, and not for the better imo. Symbian was good; KaiOS has too much google and not enough of the options I want (like disabling the startup noise).
I feel so bad for convincing my dad to get the new 3310, I had faith in Nokia and he needed a modern brick. Sadly it died way too soon, and it was clearly just a shadow of the original :'( Now he uses an alcatel I found for less than a dollar in a flea market, that I bought for myself to use it as an MP3 player lmao, he's so happy with it, it was totally worth it
And this one seemed fine enough for me to get, and I'm glad I waited until your video (yes I was expecting your opinion before trying this lol). You saved me quite some money, so thank you Dankpods :D
Edit: that version of Snake is just ugly! lol
if you can convince nokia to make another 3310 that has same price tag to modren flagship phone, i am sure that the phone will last extheme long and hard to break
how many kangaroos did you spend on the alcatel
@@tylern6420 500 chilean pesos, no idea how much is in kangaroos... but it died recently, the battery turned into a spicy pillow. RIP cheap Alcatel, you did your best.
At least the earbuds case looks like a cool idea, i hope someone makes a case for earbuds in this style
Bonus if i can just magnetically detach the module
@2:46 Frank actually does provide us a lick. Also to note, it's at the moment right after DankPods ask for it!
0:56 Everyone seems to talk about that Nokia 3310 nowadays, but I remember having the Nokia 1100 around the time, which came out a little later and was a slightly cheaper version I believe. It was as basic as a cell phone could get, but the damn thing was pretty much indestructible!
You have conditioned my brain to rejoice as soon there's new input on that static green slab. No matter if it's a real stinker and won't even treat a pkcell right - it's a golden nug experience, every time.
10:29 sickest beat fr
😂
Dude I completely lost it at 5:55 😂😂 “Wuuuu listen to music like WOW, udu beh dehdeh”
8:24 Tetris Lunatic Mode
**TOUHOU INTENSIFIES**
i had a 5310 xpressmusic in like 2012. amazing phone. had a 512M sd card fillled with ripped cds and i played a ton of the sims 2, tetris and snake 3 on it.
@dankpods just a note, the snake style of movement can be changed in the app settings, I too prefer the right angle way. Also the 3310 3g was my first phone so it'll always have a place in my heart. Also I played or tried around 200 2000's games on it by installing with the java JAR files.
I've never been a fan of snakes but I gotta admit, Frank is winning me over, slowly but surely.
8:30 the best part of the video
bling bla bla bla bling bla bla bla bling
Honestly, I'd be more than willing to deal with a chonky phone. If it had built in buds, good padding/protection, decent specs (I game a lot with my phone) and a big battery.. like if you've ever seen the energizer phone. Sacrifice a bit of that massive batt in place for buds and boom! It's humongous yes.. but I could deal.
their tws aint that good too.unles worth of an edifier tws
Even if it had some form of Spotify that could only play your liked music, maybe it downloads of wifi. But I’m not going back to the days of RUclips to MP3, my Spotify is too large and I’m too lazy 😂
They dont have to make them built-in, they could just add a little magnet Port and have a bud case attach there
My first phone was a Nokia 5610 XPress Music! Classic Slider with a T9 Keyboard... Sliding mechanism to go between MP3 Player, Radio and Home Screen. I loved that thing!
Wooohoooo! Another Thursday, another nugget! Love the content, Wade! Keep yelling at nuggets and banging drums, man!
You should definitely review some of the original XpressMusic phones, they’re pretty neato
Thanks for giving me something to watch, Dank! Love your videos! Have a great rest of your day!
6:35 For me, it's the other way around: streaming is so reliable for me. I download tracks I want to play offline, and they play perfectly, not to mention the vast amount of content I can download. With my CDs, some of them don't copy over perfectly, which makes them chop sometimes, and it's much more of a hassle if you want a lot of music copied over.
I didn’t even know Nokia still existed. My second ever phone was a Nokia 5730 XpressMusic. It did everything! Dedicated music buttons, N-Gage capability, full keyboard even! I didn’t have any friends to text but I mean that’s besides the point.
The idea of having your wireless buds built in the smartphone is interesting, imagine a high end phone that has built in high end buds, I'd probably buy it, and people would stop complaining about the removal of the jack (if the buds are good).
Every time I think companies manage to move past making nuggets, here comes Nokia making something from stock parts and programming. Almost expect to find this brick in an arcade machine 🕹
What do people want from cheap-shit Chinese company that owns Nokia mobile sector? Idk
It will make my day if I see this in a crane machine and I managed to snag one.
A literal genius idea with the absolute worst execution. It's like the biggest companies make the worst crap lol.

It’s sad that modern “Nokia” isn’t actually trying to revive that cellphone market, I grew up on Nokia phones starting with 1100, then going to Asha 202, then to Asha 308, and to Asha 300, where 300 was much better model with 5MP camera, 3G, and a lot of memory/storage compared to most other Nokia cellphones, it was cool to use those devices at the time, nowadays I do have 5130 XpressMusic for music, as it’s small and has side buttons for music control, it even has those cool music lights, it’s a very cool phone even if it’s from 2009, and I can easily connect my wireless earbuds if I want
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic was my first smartphone back in the day. Everything but the software on that phone was great, even the included dirty buds. Sad to see how far the brand has fallen.
Mine too! That's the one that convinced me to ditch the noble feature phone back then.
I started laughing uncontrollably when the Nokia camera comparisons started playing, I don't even know why I did, I just found it so funny.
Man I was really looking forward to buying this nugget and making it my phone for High School and Collage,since I wanted a phone that only does calls and let's me listen to music on the go. It's so sad that Nokia doesn't give a damn about making this more appealing and really working with the budget. Another classic big companies stink moment.
"That's so active and a living thing of you" is a good line.
hi catie
Earphones inside the phone is the coolest ever idea, I really need it tbh. Even a smartphone case that somehow has a place for earphones would be amazing
Holy crap! I had a 3205!! (Same as the 3200 but CDMA).
That thing was actually indestructible. It fell multiple storeys onto concrete and was totally perfect. It had a torch built in and was super tiny. I actually still have it despite it being utterly pointless now. I didn't keep the next and final Nokia that I had after that.
9:50 rest in peace tho
When you started recording frank with the nokia I couldn't stop laughing (the audio too haha)
My mom and dad has a xpress music from nokia bought it in 2009 and still works like charm
I had Nokia 5130 Xpress Music, I was using that in 2010 when I was in 6th grade, iphones were very expensive for us and smartphones weren't a thing here in Bangladesh at that time. I only cared about Java games. I loved playing asphalt and COD and Bounce Tales on that thing. I had a couple of other Nokias following that, like Nokia 2700 and 6303i and in 2012 I got my first "smartphone", Nokia E72 and that was the best and by that time Smartphones were getting popular and most of my friends had Samsung Galaxy Y and got an Android in 2013 but I kept using my Nokia E72 because the camera was amazing at the time. One thing unique about 5130 was the loud speaker, it was very loud for those mobiles. Good old days
Most people buying "dumb" phones now are not running back to them to get away from the internet, but buying them as their first phone. Just having SMS makes a massive difference. Many of these feature phone now use KaiOS which has basic internet browsers and whatsapp, which makes them the cheapest way to get online by far.
The new Nokias doesn’t run kaios, but there’s a large community of people who use kaios phones
Well, i used OperaMini mod and used internet on all of my phones. Operators were baffled when i asked for settings, i sometimes called only for fun, because at that time, it was only for smartphones to use proper GPRS and not plebby WAP. I was using VK (russian Facebook) before it had mobile version, even some html games were working. Also Jim (ICQ) were popular but with internet being quite expensive i rarely used it to communicate, mostly voice call.
@@daleth50 some do, like 800 tough
The software on the modern Nokias have no relation to the old Nokia S40 system, it's more or less a skin on some Mediatek chipset reference software. It's actually missing a lot of features that were in the actual Nokia developed system from 15 years ago 👌
I swear. I have a little kiddie smartwatch I was given by a friend as a joke, and it features literally every bootleg game on that Nokia. Same music loops and everything. What a world.
"Save the queen, no it is the king now" As a British Citizen that hurt
I had the original 5310 XpressMusic back in school.. in black&red... loved it, played so many games during classes that i broke the nr 4 key :D So, of course I got very excited that they made a new version.... But now i'm just sad :( (still a great video nevertheless :) )
Recording on 3310 be like
*Enabling analog horror mode*
2006 Nokia? That must have the fabled 2.5mm headphone jack! Now that's some real audiophile stuff.
(Some of those latter half of 00s phones could even play mp3s right out of the box and still had 2.5mm headphone jacks. It's as if Nokia was actively trying to avoid people giving them money.)
Nokia died for me since the "Windows" phone era... this is just... gold content from you dismembering how bad they are !!
Thank you for coming back the video is surely gonna be great
10:50 My 2012 nokia had a youtube app! Tested it 3 years ago,and sure enough,it worked!
I feel like they could've cramped a better camera in there than that.
Its a quick cash in on a recent trend. Effort was not put into this at any point.
Reminds me of those “1000 in 1 brick game” thingies… 8:18 There. Now it’s a 1000 in 1 brick game thing.
Wait this was a just released device?! I sure love living under a rock
Nokia e52 was the best cellphone i ever owned. Stylish, decent camera, not much stupid stuff, and the groundbreaker that was an ability to minimize apps like you do with a computer taskbar or modern smartphones. It was so nice to swap between texting people and changing music tracks. Genuinly great phone.
I gotta admit, I was slightly disappointed when you didn't have to yank an earphone cable out of the damn thing
3:09
Sleeping Frank….
6:20
yall dont need to stream music, just download it lmao
Factual
That would be cool for this phone if it wasn't for the fact that it only has 128 MB of storage. I mean, at that point, why even bother with this phone lmao
Frank is so pretty. I 'm too scared to own a snake but I really appreciate the patter on their scales.
Just a quick question for you: have you ever heard of the ROG centuroi 7.1 headset, if not you should take a look at that since it has a little gimmick called true 7.1 as Asus advertises it. I have had that headset before it was nice as a gaming headset especially with all those speakers/drivers on each side because if I remember correctly they have 5 on each ear cup and I would love to know that you think of those and as always nice vid
5:02 Dankpods beatbox
Really didn't expect to see this phone covered here, but now that it has it seems oddly perfect. A hybrid of two different spheres of nuggets! Shame HMD seems to be meh(current phone's a Nokia 5.4, previously had a 6 and a 3 before that)
I bought a Nokia G50 this year and it was absolutely AWFUL. The only thing I enjoyed about that phone was the external design. Ended up returning it.
The first generation of Android phones (2, 3, 5, 6, maybe 7 and 8) was awesome! And theyve faded away somehow
@@penatio I had a Nokia 8 for a couple years - the warranty gave me all my money back by the end and I still would rather have just bought something else.
Don't have much good to say about the 2720 Flip we got our grandparents either.
@@Sabrintwitt3r Yeah, I loved my 3, and especially the 6. That thing was a tank and a half, I switched to the 5.4 mostly because I wanted USB-C and I was given it.
I had the 6 and honestly it wasn’t that great. the fingerprint reader gave me issues (like, sometimes forgetting my fingerprint after restarting the phone) and the software was kinda buggy. the camera was pretty meh too
I'm reading so many comments saying that this video lightened up their day when they had a shitty day. It's been a shitty few weeks for me too and as we all unite under this insane RUclips channel, I'd like to tell you that even if your day sucked, it's gonna get better! 1 grit community ftw.
It would be cool to see an iPhone case that stores your airpods up top, a 10Ah battery in the back, and direct lightning charging instead of wasting power on wireless charging.
11:16 Facebooks metaverse in a nutshell
I mean, it’s just VRChat but worse, so it wasn’t even the first to have that idea.
not having the phone and the wireless earbuds+case take up 2 separate bits of real estate in my pockets sounds like a dream
This video make me remember that my grandmother have some of this phones... I'm definitely among for one lol
