And beside, What we've got right now are basically a "Candy Bar" for phones after one another. If it weren't for branding or advertisinng, I can't really distinguished the different between something like Samsung, Xiomi, Vivo, Oppo, Mii or buttload of phones we've got on market nowaday.

    Please continue to make these, they're much appreciated! Seeing these videos reminds me of the good times of dope and wild designs. Also , that White N86 is a big flex ! Props ! As you noted, the design and materials still hold up, this was peak Symbian/ Nokia, which makes one wonder,. since @Nokia today has been updating some of it's classic 'basic' phones, surely they could look towards past gems like the N86 , the E7, N8, and others, in building their future flagships.

    I had this device in dark colour. Refrained from clicking the video as I'd be upset of losing that device :D but couldn't resist the nostalgia.
    Bought this after selling 5800 XM for the camera. The metal bezel around the front used to lose it's dark colour. Used to have other Nseries themes installed on this device by pizero. The breathing light of the menu key was a pleasure seeing at night. In India, they included a leather holster in the box when I bought. Wished it had the swipe to navigate on the D-pad like the E72 in those days. Cheers for the video! :)

    Always loved Nokia phones. Always reliable, well build, quality devices. I bought my first Nokia phone over twenty years ago and never looked back...

    nokia phones were way ahead of it's time , it still today is sliding buttons controls , camera stand to place your phone and watch video or anything , even we still don't have something like that till this date

    The first phone that I bought from my own salary. All others before this were hand me downs

    my parents had a nokia 6111, to me it was the coolest phone back in the day, i felt like i was living in the future, the sliding mechanism was so satisfaying, we used to call those sliders phones "soap phones" here in brazil cause they have the shape and slip like soap
