The classic Nokia 3410 in 2017 - Major throwback

The #Nokia #3410 was my first ever phone. After an impulsive purchase on eBay, I took a trip down memory lane. Serious nostalgia or what? Check out the #Nokia3410 in action, in 2017.
It makes a good spare phone and comes in handy when all you really need is to be able to make a phone call or send a text

Still using my 16 year old 3410 I have two of them. I pulled one out the drawer the other week after having an epiphany and realised how reliant we are on smartphones. I now use the 3410 as my main device for calls and texts and I have my iPad with a 20gb data plan if I need the internet on the move.

[@XALIRATE]

TJ Oh wow! How are you finding that? I guess it means you carry your iPad with you everywhere you go or are you just not that much of a heavy Internet user?

[@terry141186]

XALIRATE I tend to carry the iPad in my backpack and use it when I’m at work or sat in a cafe etc. The 3410 actually gets a lot of attention from people. What surprised me most is how it fired right up after sitting in a drawer for years with two bars of battery. I spent £3 on a charger from amazon as I had misplaced the original. I’m one of the few that actually prefers typing a text with a physical keypad.

[@XALIRATE]

TJ Ah, fair play and yeah I’m not surprised at the attention it’s getting. 😁 I could never go back to a physical keyboard; takes much longer to type things so I couldn’t go back but the 3410 is awesome!

[@terry141186]

Just to update this the 3410 has had a replacement battery I have now gotten rid of the iPad the only time I use the internet is at home. I did buy the new Nokia 8110 4g but found it inferior to Nokia's of old. I do not use the message tone anymore as it really gets annoying. I tend to do much more people watching on my work commute I was on the tram yesterday and I was the only person without my head buried in a phone it's a very strange situation. I don't think smartphones are bad per say I just think what people use them for us unnecessary social media has ruined 2 generations.

Still you have its been 6 years?

this shit was my favourite phone ever. still have it. in the memory box.

Duszek Smsaczek Awesome 😁

[@duszeksmsaczek6394]

XALIRATE It lacks GPRS, but I didn't need internet on the go. Instead of this, this thingy had CSD for downloading stuff.

[@qradov]

This was my first phone too! Loved those rubber keys.

Oh....The nostalgia...My first phone. :)

[@linknpark01]

My Gran gave me money. Together with what I had saved up I went and bought this phone in that same colour. Cool video.

[@XALIRATE]

[@Romeoz06]

My very first phone. Omg the memories are flooding back.

[@XALIRATE]

Romeoz06 Great memories, huh? :)

[@Romeoz06]

XALIRATE memories were the definitely best :) I remember debating what texts to keep cause you could only store 10 messages!!!!! (if my memories serves me correctly). Nowadays we are spoilt. Thanks for the memories. Peace.

[@XALIRATE]

Romeoz06 haha yup we sure are spoilt today and you’re most welcome :)

[@cristian99143]

My first ever mobile phone was also a Nokia 3410 about 20 years ago. Loved it so much, and I really hope to get one soon from the flea market just for collection purposes! BTW, I currently use a dumb phone, a Nokia 5310 (2020), after using smartphones for 10 years. Nice video, congrats!

[@XALIRATE]

Nice, I loved it too and that sounds like a plan. Nothing like nostalgia 🤓 Oh really? How are you finding switching from a smartphone? Thank you 😊

[@cristian99143]

@@XALIRATE switching from a smartphone is great, I have more interest in real life human connections. Besides, I can take my laptop with me anytime I want to go online, I don't need a small display for that.

[@XALIRATE]

That’s fair. Enjoy it 👌🏽

Great! Ist was my First phone to. So nice to remember

[@XALIRATE]

Old is gold 😀

[@roak4115]

I never had this phone ,but dk why I really like it .I think what's the best option to gain back control of Your life is to switch to phone like this nokia 3410 . Get rid of the tv and radio and Internet then They won't be able to control us . That's very simple.

[@XALIRATE]

It is a nice phone and very simple indeed

[@KhurumKhan]

[@XALIRATE]

Khurum Khan Thank you. You can always get the 2017 Nokia 3310 :)

Christine Navubya There is no point, just showing a 3410 in 2017. It’s not exactly common anymore. 😆

[@msblue1003]

i WANT TO go back to 3410... but i forgot everything about using it... anywhere I could unload a manual?

[@XALIRATE]

msblue1003 I’m pretty sure it will all come back to you when you have the phone in your hand. It’s super basic but you can probably find a manual somewhere online. I’m not sure. I really don’t think you’d need it though. 😉

[@msblue1003]

@@XALIRATE I got the manual... I am very happy now to use this jewel phone in all its capabilities

[@alastairward2774]

That was my own first phone too. I had old BT Cellnet Philips phones (museum pieces, literally here in Belfast) but this was the first one I bought with my own money. I wanted the next one up, I think it was a 3510i with a colour screen, but it was out of stock at Carphone Warehouse.

[@XALIRATE]

Alastair Ward Awesome 😁 I remember the 3510i

[@Suezcronos]

Hi, awesome video! I am currently doing a research on retro phone model out of curiosity. Does old phone such as Nokia 3410, Nokia 3310, and Nokia 7110 has password feature? Or some sort of security pin function? I remember you can lock screen via simple button press (menu button + asterisk button, or something), but I can't remember if you can set personal password on these old phones

[@XALIRATE]

Thank you! No I don’t recall there being a password feature. I think there was only a SIM PIN that you could set up.

[@vaderetro40]

There is the universal 12345 old nokia code. 3410 you can go to security on settings and change that code to protect the phone itself

[@meh3718]

you can hear it slowing dying when it vibrates 😭

[@XALIRATE]

It’s very much alive. I think the vibration is just strong / loud 😅

[@jakemarshall7619]

My first phone was the Doro 508 back in December 2014 and I'm planning to buy the original Nokia 3310 to use as a secondary phone. I currently have the BlackBerry Priv.

[@XALIRATE]

Christian White Nice. The Nokia 3310 is a true classic 😁 What are your thoughts on the Priv?

[@jakemarshall7619]

XALIRATE Well the BlackBerry Priv is my daily driver and it is a decent phone with a physical qwerty keyboard

[@XALIRATE]

Christian White Cool. I used to love Blackberry’s and their qwerty keyboard. I used to own the Blackberry Curve 8900 😊

[@jakemarshall7619]

XALIRATE I love BlackBerry Android phones. I'm hoping to get the BlackBerry Keyone soon

[@XALIRATE]

Christian White Sounds like a plan 👍🏼

[@vaderetro40]

God only knows nokia cells i had in those analogue years lol! This is a reliable one but my favourite one still is the almighty 6310i. What are your thoughts about it? 😃

[@XALIRATE]

Ah the 6310i is also a great classic! Looking back at these makes me want to use one again but I couldn’t ditch the smartphone realistically 😅
