To recall, Nokia had launched Nokia 3310 17 years ago in 2000. The phone had a 1.5-inch screen and was available in two colour variants — grey and blue. The phone was widely popular at the time owing to its unbreakable design and Snakes, the first video game that got users hooked to the phone’s tiny screen. However, the company discontinued the phone in 2005.
