<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: large;">HMD Global, a Finnish manufacturer with the exclusive rights to market the Nokia brand, is apparently planning to release a revamped version of the classic phone at the end of February.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: large;">Prominent for its resilient and indestructible nature, coupled with its battery longevity, the affordable phone was a big hit with users, who have long regarded it as one of the most reliable handsets ever made.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: large;">The phone, which was originally released in 2000, was introduced as a replacement to the Nokia 3210. However, the model was discontinued five years later.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: large;">The new incarnation of the old 3310 will be sold for just €59 (about N23,000), according to technology website VentureBeat, and so likely be pitched as a reliable second phone to people who fondly remember it the first time around.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: large;">There have been no further details about how close the new version will be to the original, which gained a cult following due to its impressive yet classic Nokia ringtone, made famous by comedian Dom Joly, and the addictive game Snake II.</span></div>
