If you are talking about the original 3310 I will have to disagree, I really liked it. Mine was dropped and thrown around, never had issues with reception and I quite liked the interface, everything was easy to find and there wasn't lots of unnecessary junk.
I had mine for years and would probably still be using it as I like basic phones, if the network it used hadn't been stopped.
I won't be getting the new version though, it just looks like cheap plastic junk to me.

I had a blue candy bar nokia bought in either 2003 or 2004 had an extendible antenna, not sure if it was a 3310 now that I think of it because that model doesn't have antenna from the pictures I found. Worst phone I ever owned. I don't care much about anything except making phone calls and having good reception and battery life. It was a simple phone, but it was just bad all around.

right now I use a Samsung SGH A777, costs me only $8 a month bill. I also use an unlocked Moto G4 Play but just for wifi.

You are all dreaming.

The best were the 8th series.

I have still one as my favorite while wearing suit or smoking. NOTHING comes close to to grace. I have an 8800arte too... well..
