When the first rumours of its resurrection started swirling, I just couldn't understand why. Why was everyone was going mad for the 3310? After spending a week with one, I'm still none the wiser. Feature phones never died - they've been stinking up supermarket shelves since 2007, when the iPhone arrived and completely shifted what people wanted from their handsets. You can pick one up for a tenner - so why should this one be any different? If the 3310 had shown up under any other name, it would have sunk faster than the N-Gage. Sure, battery life is really good, but it's no better than any other burner phone - even though it costs twice the price. It's a fine festival phone. Your gran could pick one up and not be instantly bamboozled. Stash one in a drawer or the glove box and you're covered if your big bucks main phone takes a tumble. But that's about it. Nostalgia is big business right now, and fair play to Nokia for riding that wave. Look past the branding, though, and there's nothing here you can't get elsewhere for less cash.

Nothing beats a bit of retro nostalgia; Battery life for weeks, not days; It's got Snake;
Just a cheapo feature phone underneath all the branding; Camera is seriously basic; 2G network limits aren't great for frequent flyers; More expensive than otherwise identical burner phones;
