Of course the 6310i with blue screen. Sleek, beautiful, and well designed. Unless you need something KaiOS offers (MMS or music, etc) or LTE coverage, the 6310i will hold up well, maybe just needs a new battery.

Man, they dont make batteries like this one anymore. 22 years old, was uncharged for 20 years!, yesterday it showed its being charged right after plugging in. Used 6310i for a whole day, battery is still 7/7. It could be a malfunction, but i think it would be fine!

As someone who lives in the uk, I am so jealous of the 6310. In the uk we won’t even have 3G by 2030 let alone 2g 😭

Nokia would surely make a killing of a recreation of these older silver phones. The newer refreshes aren't as appealing to me. Wasn't there indication somewhere on instagram that hmd might lean into this aesthetic again?

Judging by all the modern releases of nokia/hmd dumb phones, i dont think they can achieve something that vintage nokia enthusiasts dream of. Currently dumb phones are not that dumb, look cheap, adapt to some standards like huge screen when its not needed etc. Nokias dumb phones are made to be senior friendly, not for vintage enthusiasts.

Yeah, you're right. One can dream, makes me wish I enjoyed my old Nokia more 20 years ago

Nokia 6310i is more solid Imao

Those old Nokia's were like a phone inside a hard shell. 6310i in particular had great ergonomics for the time. In the mid-2000s everything went to 'sandwich' construction and more yielding plastics. Not necessarily a bad thing, it allowed for phones to be made slimmer, but durability sure took a back seat.
