HMD Global, a Finnish company, brought back Nokia to the mobile industry. Nokia, since its comeback, has launch two feature phones that gave all of us a great nostalgic feeling. Nokia reintroduced the Nokia 3310 and the Nokia 8110 recently. Here are a few more phones that we think Nokia should bring back.

5. Nokia N-Gage

Nokia N-gage

The Nokia N-Gage was introduced in 2002 and had a design that was made to take over the GameBoy market. The handset looked less of a phone and more of a gaming device. We really wish this device to come back as we are bored of seeing all feature phones looking similar.

4. Nokia Communicator E90

Nokia E90

The Nokia Communicator series came into existence in 1996. The design was a great innovation at that time. Fast forward few years, Nokia launched the E90 in 2007 that looked like a normal phone from the outside but it used to open up to reveal a full-keyboard and a larger screen. The communicator style design and Google's Android operating system would make a great combination. Right?

3. Nokia 6600

Nokia 6600

Nokia 6600 was one of the best selling phones of its time. The handset got popular due to its design and the navigation key at the centre. If the 6600 comes back, it will make a great feature phone even in 2018. The device had a 2.1-inch display and an 850mAh battery. The 6600 used to run on the good old Symbian 7.0s operating system. It also had a 0.3-megapixel camera at the back.

2. Nokia 6800

Nokia 6800

The Nokia 6800 was introduced in 2002 and had something special. The handset was touted as a messaging phone as it came with a fold-out QWERTY keyboard. The handset used to easily fit into the pocket and the user can fold out the whole keyboard when he wants to use it.

Nokia N90

Nokia N90 was first introduced in 2005 and had a very different design. The feature phone could turn into four different modes depending on the user's needs. The device had a rotating camera module as well as a rotating display. This phone is a must if Nokia is deciding to bring back more devices.

Facebook has been all over the news lately after the whole Cambridge Analytica thing. Recently, reports came out that the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg deleted a few messages sent to a few users. A normal user does not have the ability to delete sent messages in the Messenger, however, the CEO does.

Tech Crunch, an American online publisher approached Facebook with some email receipts as proof that messages were deleted. Facebook then confirmed to Tech Crunch that they did delete some of the messages. In defence, Facebook also said that they will soon be introducing the feature to delete sent messages for everyone.

Facebook Messenger

As a response to deleting messages, Facebook said, "We will now be making a broader delete message feature available. This may take some time and until this feature is ready, we will no longer be deleting any executives’ messages. We should have done this sooner – and we’re sorry that we did not"

The company claims that they already have a timer feature on their Messenger application. The feature lets the message disappear after a certain period of time which is given by the sender. However, the feature is currently available only in the "Secret Conversations." In the recent reports, the messages which were deleted by the Facebook executives were a part of a normal conversation.

In a nutshell, just to defend themselves, Facebook is soon gonna introduce the delete/unsend message feature on its Messenger app. The feature is going to be something similar to what we have seen on WhatsApp.
