The blue-gray Nokia 3310, with its fantastic battery life and 'unbreakable' reputation, has gone down in history books as an iconic phone. While most millennials remember playing 'Snakes' on that phone, it gained cult-like status once the Internet began spawning memes about it being practically indestructible. And even though it was phased out in 2005, Nokia has now relaunched the Nokia 3310 - and people are freaking out! The new 3310 comes in four colours with a battery life of - wait for it - 30 days! Described as a 'modern classic reimagined', the reboot retains the silhouette of the original, albeit slimming it down, and replaces the black and white screen for a coloured one.
As was expected, many people came out on Twitter to welcome the iconic model back. Here are some of the funniest reactions:
1. Some got nostalgic

Priced at $50 many have said that they won't buy the relaunched Nokia for its utility, but only for nostalgia and sentimental purposes. What about you? Will you buy the latest Nokia reboot?
