Nokia is reviving the Nokia 8110, this phone is going to be epic! It’s going to cost €79 and be released in may. The phone will be able to be used as a 4g wifi hotspot. NOKIA TAKE MY MONEY, I WANT ONE!

It's not Nokia you're going to hand over your money to, but HMD Global. It's also going to run a proprietary OS with a limited selection of 'some apps', so I don't expect it to "rock" at any rate, it's going to be just a dumbfone. https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/25/nokia-8110/

I like the 'classics' line bringing back some of the more experimentive and well loved designs, marketing gimmick perhaps but one of the most sincere 'put your money where your mouth is' ones I've seen! I'm seriously considering one of Nokia's new Android One lineup, 8 Scirocco or 7 plus if Apple keep to their current iPhone trajectory...

Oh sorry, HMD TAKE MY MONEY, I WANT ONE! Is that better for you?

Whatever, it's just a dumbfone in a fancy yet outdated form factor, I have nothing against your purchase choices, obviously.

That’s definitely tempting, I’m starting to get tired of the high cost of smartphones, and I’m not sure that they really have that much of a positive benefit.

People: Apple has used the same design for 4 years, sad.

Also people: I want a phone designed in the 90's with newer specs.

Agreed! IF this thing (somehow) has WhatsApp on it then i'm in (not holding my breath and i WILL NOT get too excited).

Just read on BBC it won't get WhatsApp. booooooo!
