For 2017 retro phones are making a comeback. This is the Nokia 3310 phone. It's the comeback version of the original from over a decade ago. The new Nokia makes a cool secondary phone. If you already have a smartphone, it also can make a pretty cool, cheap gift for someone who's nostalgic for this older Nokia candy bar design, with 22 hours of talk time, a business user might want the Nokia 3310 because they always know they can be reached on this secondary phone. One massive caveat, however: it doesn't work on u.
s. cellular networks because the U. S. is starting to get rid of the older 2g networks, which is what this new Nokia phone runs on. You ever snake from the original Nokia phones.
Well, it's back, and now it's in color, it's actually still really fun. This is BlackBerry's new q1 smartphone. It has a retro physical keyboard. It takes a little to get used to if you're coming from a touchscreen, but I'm it works really. Well.
Furthermore, it has a 4.5-inch screen, which makes it a little smaller than the display on the iPhone 7 and much smaller than a screen on, let's say the s8 or the iPhone 7 plus, like the Nokia phone. The blackberry phone also has great battery life. That makes it really appealing to the traveling business user. It's also loaded up with BlackBerry's latest security software. You could even use the physical keyboard as a virtual trackpad for flipping through pages in the web browser.
The new BlackBerry comes out later this year for $550, and it will come on law I'm, mark Berman. This was gadgets with Duran, and you can find us with a new consumer tech product every Wednesday at 3:30 p. m. Eastern Time we're on Bloomberg's website, Facebook, live and Twitter. You.
