    I picked one of these up for $19 from the service desk at a Coles some time ago, don't recall it being in the catalog at the time, might be worth checking as you walk into the mall?

    Edit: Also, it includes a game called snake, it sure isn't snake tho.

      Just like it's meant to look like a 3310, except that it doesn't.

    no wifi

    • [Deactivated] on 02/07/2019 - 10:02

      who need wifi when its this durable? its probably just old phones with a new plastic shell.

        Except that it doesn't contain a single common component to the old phone.

          It's blue.

      What is this $29 flagship Nokia?!

      • terrys on 02/07/2019 - 10:07

        I'd still buy it if it had a BP-4L battery tho. My E63 and N97 ones are only lasting ~ 4 days now.

          To be honest, if you're not including IP67-IP69 waterproofing in your phone, you should be including a User Removable Battery.

          This new-version would've been a massive hit if they went with 4G-LTE and a battery.

          (ie No 3G-only model, some durability, best battery life due to hotswappable batteries)

            @Kangal: I agree, so much potential with this nostalgic phone but so many misses, hence why they have to virtually give it away now!

      • yama131 on 02/07/2019 - 17:44

      I haven't had any luck with BigW online since forever. In QLD somehow there are only three sites that seem to ship anything, and they are all in the middle of nowhere. Probably give a store a call before you head in, you might be lucky.

  • Gigrantor on 02/07/2019 - 10:52

    I'm thinking of getting rid of my smart phone and going back to an old school dumb so I can stop being a phone snob!

    But I would prefer it to be unlocked.

    Pretty good price though!

  • phuc6789 on 02/07/2019 - 11:15

    Very good "smart basic phone". It can sync contact from Android phone, smart dialling. I used it for a while for second number.
    This is 3G version, no LTE at all mates. Don't be ridiculous :)

    I have just unlocked 4 Vodafone-locked phones for free last week. Did it via chat and used a prepaid (365+) number that was expired with no recharge for almost 2 months. I think the trick is just to be nice and ask if they could help unlock your phone for free. The chat staff seems to have a script saying that because you are a valuable customer, they will unlock it for free for you this one time. Happened to me 4 times in a week lol.

      lucky bugger, it was never same with telstra customer service :(

      • Ulysses31 on 02/07/2019 - 22:25

        Vodafone have a lot to make-up for.

        (jokes, jokes!)

      • slowFTL on 03/07/2019 - 10:46

        I think it could just be easier with Vodafone and Optus. However, Telstra does have free unlock policy after 2 years.

  • Jabba the Hutt on 02/07/2019 - 12:24

    Overall the least pleasant phone I've ever used. Especially wouldn't recommend it for seniors mainly due to its poor ergonomics. The d-pad is atrocious and the combined keys to the left and right of it are far from ideal. There are also no accessibility options on mine (e.g. for increasing text size) - I've seen reference to such settings but they're not present on my Vodafone model.

    Only praise I have is for its very long battery life.

  • jonagrah on 02/07/2019 - 12:29

    I can't wait to give one of these to my 9 year old stepdaughter when she wants a phone.

  • zztrader on 02/07/2019 - 14:06

    Are these phones even 3G or GSM? I thought Telco's where switching off those networks? or what network do these units use?

    • Cluster on 02/07/2019 - 14:46

      These phones make calls to 2001.

    • [Deactivated] on 02/07/2019 - 14:58

      Think they might still be analog

    • lbft on 03/07/2019 - 02:13

      The version released in Australia was 3G. It's not the old 3310, it's a vaguely 3310-ish newer model they called the same thing to cash in on nostalgia.

  • TwentyTwoCarats on 02/07/2019 - 16:15

    Is there LineageOS support for this?

  • mousie on 02/07/2019 - 16:55

    This, or a rotary phone? It can double as a weapon during a bulldogs game.

  • Fliedlice on 02/07/2019 - 20:35

    Does anybody know whether this can be used with the ‘boost’ sim card? Just because I had an old school phone (a slide one) and the boost rep said that I couldn’t use the current sim with it because of the network connectivity or something.

    Even though this is supposed to be a 3310, I thought somehow they’d make it compatible with current simcards. Anybody know about this? (If it’s unlocked of course)

    • [Deactivated] on 02/07/2019 - 21:14

      I think it should work if you unlock it first. But boost is Telstra, and it surprisingly works with most telstra locked mobiles, even when Aldi and Belong (who are both telstra too) don't work.

    • terrys on 03/07/2019 - 10:22

      It works with the four common 3G bands, 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100.

      FROM:https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_frequencies

      850MHz (B5) – Telstra
      900MHz (B8) – Optus, Vodafone
      2100MHz (B1) – Optus, Vodafone

      Mandatory handset band support

      Telstra – 3G 850MHz (B5)
      Optus – 3G 900MHz (B8)
      Vodafone – 3G 900MHz (B8)

      The old school phone would have been 2G only which was retired by Telstra in 2016. This will work if it is unlocked.

  • Jace81 on 03/07/2019 - 00:00

    Spewing just got one last week for mum for $68, and had to go through dealing with Harvey Norman’s attempted sales funnel to get it.

    • lbft on 03/07/2019 - 02:15

      I got one for someone technologically challenged last Christmas and even then stock was thin on the ground.

      • slowFTL on 03/07/2019 - 10:48

        The Opel range of phones from Auspost may be the way to go for tech-challenged people.

      Only problem is you can't destroy the phone so you can't get rid of the evidence

        no witnesses … the only witness now has an autopsy report that says deceased: blunt force trauma

  • Jackson on 06/07/2019 - 19:12

    I got the Optus locked model for a senior the other week for 15 bucks from Australia Post (but good luck finding stock).

    I had a crack at it this week and I hsvr to say the Opera browser just doesnt work properly. It seems to load the google search page, but wont load the optus home page and also do t load OzBargain! Bit of a deal breaker in my opinion. Strangely the error is something like "server error" which seems misleading. Also Optus support are as usrless as tits on a bull, they were srriously useless. Anyone else used one and can comment?
