It’s finally here! See how to buy the new Nokia 3310 which is now for sale in the UK.
The reboot of the iconic Nokia 3310 phone has generated a lot of buzz since it was revealed at this year’s Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona. The official release date of this retro remaster is today, but we suspect that stocks will fly out in the first few weeks.
The 2017 Nokia 3310 is looking like a great purchase for anyone looking for a spare mobile to take camping, or to festivals, thanks to its super-low cost and long life between battery charges. Or maybe you just don’t need all the bells and whistles of a modern smartphone, and just want the basics.
Only a select few stockists currently have the Nokia 3310 available — see below. And, we’ll be listing all the latest and greatest deals as and when they become available. So bookmark this page, as we’ll update it with the cheapest prices on the Nokia 3310 from all the best network and mobile phone retailers.

Take it from us, Nokia 3310s are going to be as scarce as hen’s teeth for the first few weeks after release. We’ve seen enough people registering their interest in pre-order deals to know that these things are going to sell like hot cakes. But enough of the analogies, and let’s get down to brass tacks (sorry!) …

The price of the new Nokia 3310 surpasses even the kind of low prices we had expected. We were predicting £40-£60 for the handset only, but Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse have set the bar low at a mere £39.
We’re yet to see any contract prices emerge, but — assuming they eventually do —
we’d imagine you’ll get the handset for free. And the monthly costs shouldn’t be very high, seeing as the functionality is relatively modest compared to your average touchscreen smartphone.
A new Nokia 3310 was always going to make misty-eyed a generation whose youth was spent whiling away hours on Snake. But there’s more to this phone than purely nostalgia. Its featherweight design, convenient number keys, marathon battery and ridiculous price is going to appeal who just want a very cheap handset for festivals, holidays and emergencies. And did we mention Snake?
For those people who expect their smartphones to be kitted out with high resolution displays and industry leading cameras, clearly the Nokia 3310 is the polar opposite. Read more about the pros and cons in our hands on Nokia 3310 review.
The new Nokia 3310 will be available in a range of colours. At launch expect options in blue, black, red, yellow and grey.
