So this isn't a Nokia 3310 in any way shape or form, it's just nostalgic exploitation of when things were better (not least of all battery life) and we loved technology more than we do now.
This does rather raise the inevitable and quite correct question of when will there be a new Psion? I don't mean some gadget packing Windows XP or Windows 7 or Linux, I mean a Psion - An actual Psion for the 21st century.
Perhaps you need to go ask your dad about that time in the 90s when he sent an email from the top of a double-decker bus via an Ericsson T610 and felt like he was on two grams of cocaine, but basically they were iPhones you could actually be productive on, rather than efficient consumer portals through which you could easily and rapidly deplete your disposable income (in part, to help pay for a series of mahoosive polished granite Steve Jobs monuments around the world, like a network of GPS crucifixes) as well as any dignity and personal information about yourself to some analytics pervert legally registered in the Republic of Ireland for tax purposes. Talking of which, whatever happened to Parthus Technologies?
Come on, some lunatic out there bring back a new Psion off the back of this pervert and lie of a Nokia. It's not even a real Nokia, any more than that website is yer actual Woolworths with its alleged virtual pick & mix mistruth. It's just your typical millennial venture capitalist Sith (until recently thought extinct) licensing an otherwise unmoneytisable brand name in order to capitalise on a hipster desire for nostalgia because they have nothing of substance of their own.
Last I heard, 18 Harcourt Street had been turned into an artisan bakers, selling loaves of appalling bread for £7.50 each. And as for what calls itself a pub down the road these days...
June 1997 is when the Series 5 came out and EPOC flashed its wanger in front of all the pathetic CE inadequates for the first time - 20 years ago in a matter of days. Come on Orlowski! Time to rehash your history of Psion and Symbian articles.
