THE NOKIA 3210 is old enough to be sitting its Leaving Cert right now. First introduced in 1999, it was pretty much a staple in every noughties teen’s life.
1. Snake was played pretty much every waking hour, but could NEVER be completed
2. You changed phone covers as much as you changed outfits

6. So you downloaded loads, which cost an arm and a leg

9. You’ve never had a phone like it since
