There’s no touchscreen. You get the traditional feature phone controls: a 5-way D-Pad just below the screen, with left and right action buttons that correspond to labels on the screen.
The OS is Series 30+, an operating system originally cooked up by Microsoft made by Mediatek for Microsoft’s Nokia. Unlike the other Nokia/HMD feature phones, which are loaded with Microsoft products like Skype and Bing, I didn’t spot any Microsoft influence here. S30+ means you aren’t exactly going to get a ton of apps. There was a “Games & Apps” store, but given that the devices had no Internet access, I couldn’t see what was in there.
Speaking of games, it comes pre-loaded with a fancy new version of Snake that was whipped up by Gameloft! It’s in color now. There were also a few other Gameloft games, like Asphalt 6. Web browsing is handled by Opera, but I can’t imagine you’ll want to do much web browsing on the 2.4-inch screen.
As fun as the new 3310 is; does anyone want to spend money on a feature phone? The long battery life, high nostalgia factor, and 49 euro ($52) price might earn it a few niche customers in the US, but most of the 3310 units seem headed for the developing world, where HMD already has a line of feature phones.
