I miss my old nokia phone

You say you miss it, but if you had one again, you'd hate it and want to come back. Phones aren't phones anymore.
The 3310 had 55 hours of standby time and barely 4 hours of talk time on a fresh battery. The 11 Pro Max has five times that.
The problem is that people use their phones for stuff now. The 3310 you'd get the occasional phone call and text. Smartphones people use them near constantly. I've had an 11 Pro Max run for over a week on a single charge even with all the background shit running over the quarantine because it hasn't been my only device and I haven't had to actively use it.
I don't miss my 3310 at all. Sending messages and making calls on the 3310 actually costed me money. Now I can just those things (and more) over WhatsApp for free.
But I do miss my first MP3 player; my Cowon iAudio M3.
I love the silver design with the separate "indiglo blue" backlit wired remote. It had 20GB HDD, played pretty much any format and could do voice recording too. I used the absolute shit out of mine, but it sadly died after only 2 years. The iAudio X5 was technically better (especially with RockBox installed), but it just never really felt the same. Playing music on a smartphone just isn't the same either.

My co-worker is still clinging onto his 3110 after all these years, never even considered switching. Haven't ever had any problems with it even now. He has more of them in storage just in case his current one will stop working.
It's a SOLID phone, that's for sure. I personally never had problems with it either back in the days.

HMD Global (which is essentially just Nokia in all but name only) has been looking to revive the brand for some years now. I'm using the 5.0 as I type this and it's a pretty decent mid-range phone.
The new Nokia (and even the Nokia Lumias over time) lack that build quality they were once known for. I still miss my 900 precisely because of how sturdy the damn thing was.

They actually kind of have, but instead of keeping the same features to take advantage of longer life, phone makers either shrink the size of the battery or increase the power drains with bigger screens, etc.
