The good old days - snake, predictive text, polyphonic ringtones, a battery that could survive an apocalypse. Plus actual buttons! (Does anyone else miss having buttons on a phone?)
Looking through Nokia's back catalogue, there are too many greats to list. Obviously the classic 3310 deserves a mention, but a personal favourite was the 6230 which refused to give up on me even after the battery had swelled to double its size (not advisable 😳).
It's interesting that there is a demand for so-called 'newstalgia'. This is being billed as a return to simpler times. Something to balance out the sensory overwhelm of our modern digital age. Whether any of us can actually surrender the smartphone is another story, but it's an appealing concept.
I can definitely see that alongside advancements in tech and comms, there's a desire for ease and simplicity. While for most businesses, a basic Nokia isn't going to cut it, the principle of straightforward communication without the bells and whistles, remains. For a business to run efficiently, clear, effective communication is a must and to do this equipment needs to be appropriate, relevant, and work as intended, with help on hand when it doesn't.
It can be a struggle to cut through the noise and truly connect so considering at its heart a phone's job is to facilitate communication, why not strip back the rest and focus on doing just that.
