New Nokia 3310 pre-orders reportedly exceed expectations
While the new Nokia 3310 has still not hit the market, UK-based retailer Carphone Warehouse has started taking pre-orders for the feature phone. And the response for the device has been “unprecedented,” it says, showing that it is not just hype and that “customers really want to get their hands on one.” It will be launched in the second quarter, though HMD Global refrained from giving a concrete date yet. Nokia 6, however, continues its winning streak in China, once again going out of stock instantly on JD.com, ahead of its availability in India and other markets, also in Q2.
