Title: Any Nokia Phone Fans,..... there back
Post by: zirk on 16 January 2017, 17:02:04
Only in Asia at the moment but plans for the rest of the Planet early part of this year.

Current offering, Nokia 6, 1 piece Aluminium Chassis with 5.5" 1080p Full HD Screen, Gorilla Glass, Qualcomm octa-core processor, 4Gb Ram, 64gb Memory, 16Mp Camera, Twin Amp Dolby Atmos audio, 3A battery, running Android 7. £200.

Rumors have it, Nokia 8 Premium version launching just before iPhone 8, price unknown.

Ive always had a soft spot for Nokia Phone, well the pre crap Windows ones anyway. We'll see.  :-\ :-\

For £200 I would give it a try.

I have currently have a S2 and S4 and happy with both, Considering an S7 as the S6 didnt have SD card facility, and issues with S7  along with price have put me off. :-\

Started with a Phiilips Savvy, had a faw various nokia's and thena Samsung Tocco. Ending with the S2/4 Phones. ::)

Would be nice to try a Nokia and hope they have got it right this time :y

I got excited for a moment then. I thought that maybe they were bringing back the 6310 or the E55, with no bells and whistles and batteries that would last a week without charging  ::)

 . . . . and Snake ! to waste time on

I wondered where I'd lost it          ;D    ;D

Couple of years ago I was clearing out my office and found my old "brick". This was a handset that either fitted in the car or attached to a huge battery pack. Pressed the "On" button, and it turned on. Not for long though, a few seconds. That phone was around 20 years old, maybe more.

Well if they stick with Removable Batteries, decent Ram and internal Memory (Nokia 8 is supposed to be 128 / 256gb) and SD Slots, keep the price reasonable they could be in with a chance.

I suspect it will be just another non-descript expensive Android handset.  They need to do something to make it stand out.

Fingers crossed they make it desirable

Totally agree with that,  :y

1 piece chassis, gorilla glass... unlikely to be removable battery unfortunately.

IIRC, there's some EU recycling directive that means they are now having to make batteries removable again. :y

The old trans portable, I had one a lifetime ago, carried it on a skate board it was so heavy  ;D ;D

Batteries are removal with a bit of know how.  ;)

Well if they stick with Removable Batteries
That was a flaw on many if Nokia's classic phones, from 2110 through to 6310i...  ...the contacts were shite, always causing the damn things to power off randomly.
