Kicking around and needing a phone for a badly behaved child (so knocking them back to to the "punishment" phone) and stumbled across the Nokia 8210 4G for pretty cheap. (I know it's not really a Nokia and there are cheaper "smart phones" out there, but I wanted something painful to use.)

Sale is apparently for 7 days?? (But I dont know when it technically stated??)

Blue (10 available at time of posting) SOLD OUT
Sand (4 available at time of posting) SOLD OUT
Red, for some reason isnt on special. Still shows @ $97… (Maybe that is the special price??)

Also available on the Bing Lee website for Click and Collect
Blue SOLD OUT
Sand SOLD OUT
Red (it is $97, down from $117)

I also had an eBay plus $5 code that bought the price down to $74… I am not sure if any of the other codes work… most of them seem to be "Over $100…." codes.

I hope my children learn their lesson after having to use this phone…

              @Charity: Hm, you might be missing the collectors market - there are many Lego kits sold over the years that are rare and fetch a pretty penny. I would imagine collectors don't tend to play with Lego either (although there is certainly a market targeted at adult users).

            @Craze: Giving a kid a small pocket sized, almost unbreakable, easily replaced device, so they can get in touch if needed, and feel safe while out exploring the world - Great parenting!

            Giving a kid a heavy arse gaming console made of glass, they will almost certainly break, while forcing them to carry the delicate thing everywhere they go. Never letting them think for themselves because they are constantly bombarded by the naivety and vanity of social media apps they can't get away from, for fear you will punish them for being uncontactable. All while having to learn to navigate complex digital ecosystems in their Samsung/Apple to buy/download the latest apps or be the laughing stock at school still using (insert Facebook alternative here) - Now that's punishment.

            Perspective. 😂

            @Craze: At some point kids will transition from no phone to having one, just a matter of when. But while they are young, I agree, no phone, no tablets, no laptops, or even tv and toys. Books are all they need.

        I've had it as the tone on my Samsung for years, and when it goes off in public you can spot the old 3310 owners. :)

      My high school - when the 8250 (I think) came out and it was the 8210 but WITH A BLUE SCREEN and it was the TITS and only rich kids had it.

      Also when the 3330 came out to supersede the 3210, and it had an ANIMATED SCREENSAVER.

      Man, those were the days.

    If anyone is considering this as a way to transition to a dumbphone for social media detox etc. etc. whatever your reason is - consider the AGM M7 instead. It's still an android phone, but clunky enough that media apps barely work, but just functional enough for Spotify/Audible.

      I don’t know… maybe put a “calls only” sim in it? You could delete the data connection details, but it takes a 2 mins Google search to find them again.

      I was going to do the same thing. Either delete the apps, or lock out the internet from connecting. They could still piggyback off WiFi though…

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but these don't support VoLTE, so they will "stop working" soon when 3G is turned off.

    • harryozz on 04/10/2023 - 18:46

      VoLTE does not affect purchase decision making because the device comes preloaded with snakes.

            @coxymla: Nokia

            With an even bigger battery, Nokia 8210 4G delivers weeks of standby time, so you can go offline with confidence. You’ll also enjoy longer talk times and crystal-clear audio quality with VoLTE technology.¹

            then…

            ¹ The actual availability of VoLTE calls is subject to local operators’ and carriers’ services and HMD's support for a particular operator.

      Correct. "Between December 2023 and September 2024, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone will close their 3G networks to make room for new, faster services. The 3G network shutdown will affect vital equipment and services and the road transport sector is urged to start their transition immediately."
