Unboxing A 'Like New' Nokia 3210 from 1998 In 2022

24 years ago, a lithe young Jonny Boy, strode into the BT Cellnet store in Mansfield, Barclaycard in hand with the sole aim of being as cool as Craig David by owning a Nokia phone!
24 years later and this aim has still not been achieved, but I did get my hands on a shiny new Nokia 3210! I absolutely loved it then, and am nearly as pleased to own one in 2022! :-)

I’m heartbroken, because the back plate on my 3210 broke and won’t sit on the phone anymore. Anyway, the 3210 was the first phone that I really genuinely wanted back then (I was 14), and never got it, because they stopped selling it before I got my first phone.
Thanks for the video again. Love it! 😊

Subscribed! This sort of stuff is right up my street. Can I suggest though that you reposition your light to avoid the glare and the shadows it's casting on you. That was super distracting for me. Superb content, hope you will eventually cover some old audio gear.

Thanks very much for the feedback + & - I normally get the lighting just about right, but had it too high on this one. Its hard to tell sometimes until after I've filmed! Theres plenty more to look at on the channel, and definitely plenty more to come.... maybe even some audio gear! :-)

@@retro-unboxing brilliant. Already watched a good few videos so I'll keep my eye out. I live those old Nokias. My first was a 3310. I was the first in my class to get one and everyone wanted it to play Snake all the time.

Actually, 4 years ago I felt nostalgic, so I managed to download all of its ringtones and "Salsa" has been my ringtone since then 😅 just as it was 24 years ago

My first phone ever ❤

I have a mint condition 3310 at home, no box though unfortunately. But it still works like a charm almost 23 years later which is quite remarkable!

You say simple to use which they are to us, but this was all brand new technology for a lot of people at the time, most people only just stated to be able to afford mobiles

I was on about these phones the other day and how when you dropped them they would fly off in three different directions leaving you unsure which bit to grab first.

[@retro-unboxing]

Haha! Absolutely!

I like your video very much, frankly I do wonder about Nokia 3210. I am looking for it . , but it is so difficult. I am in Indonesia.
