BTW, proper dumbphones still exist these days. They don't release flagships every year so there's little to report on, but they're being produced and sold.

Many of them even bear the name NOKIA but have little to do with the original.

An important aspect to consider here is the networks - the original 3310 had - at most - 2G.

Most countries are shutting their 2G and 3G networks down these days.

I wonder how that affects telephony capabilties of both old and new dumbphones.
