Nokia 3310 goes on sale again after 17 years

The battery is claimed to offer up to 22 hours of talk time, and up to a month in standby mode. One expert said its success depended on how much people would be willing to pay for a device that "oozes nostalgia".

"This is a premium version, so the question is how much are people willing to pay for that?"
