Old-school mobiles make comeback with consumers paying top dollar for Nokia brick phones NETWORK WRITERS, WIRES AFP MAY 26, 2014 2:15PM SHARE 21 Nokia Lumia under hammer test1:47 Play video A Nokia Lumia 900 is put to the test of being hammered on with nails and more. AUTOPLAYON OFF Back in time ... handsets like the Nokia 3310 allow just basic text messaging and phone calls. Source: News Limited Nokia Lumia under hammer test Back in time ... handsets like the Nokia... THEY fit in a pocket, have batteries that last all week and are almost indestructible: old-school Nokias, Ericssons and Motorolas are making a comeback as consumers tire of fragile and overly-wired smartphones. LEAKED LETTER: Is this the end of Nokia? With no apps, video calls or smiley faces, handsets like the Nokia 3310 or the Motorola StarTec 130 allow just basic text messaging and phone calls. But demand for them is growing, according to reports out of Europe, where some of these second-hand models are fetching prices as high as 1000 euros ($1500) a piece. The Nokia brick ... tired of your smartphone’s low battery life? You can always go back to using a trusty Nokia 3310 - but it will cost you. Source: News Limited “Some people don’t blink at the prices, we have models at more than 1000 euros. The high prices are due to the difficulty in finding those models, which were limited editions in their time,” said Djassem Haddad, who started the site vintagemobile.fr in 2009. Haddad had been eyeing a niche market, but since last year, sales have taken off, he said. Over the past two to three years, he has sold some 10,000 handsets, “with a real acceleration from the beginning of 2013”. “The ageing population is looking for simpler phones, while other consumers want a second cheap phone,” he said. Niche market ... old-school Motorola phones are also proving popular. Source: News Corp Australia Among the top-sellers on the website is the Nokia 8210, with a tiny monochrome screen and plastic buttons, at $90. Ironically, the trend is just starting as the telecommunications industry consigns such handsets to the recycling bins, hailing smartphones as the way ahead. Finnish giant Nokia, which was undisputedly the biggest mobile phone company before the advent of Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy, offloaded its handset division to Microsoft this year after failing to catch the smartphone wave. But it was probably also the supposedly irreversible switch towards the smartphone that has given the old school phone an unexpected boost. And I found my old sckool toys. I find my 3310 in a bit...hahaha
