Nokia Brings Back The ‘Matrix’ Phone

Back in 1999, Keanu Reeves was famous for playing Neo in The Matrix, and not for looking sad on a bench. Nokia was also the “world’s leading mobile phone supplier” back then, and it used this popularity to feature its Nokia 8110 “banana phone” in The Matrix film. Back then, everyone who considered themselves cool wanted a Nokia phone just like Neo’s.

Now the Nokia 8110 is coming back to life as a retro classic. The slightly curved handset has a slider that lets you answer and end calls, and they’ve even got the traditional black and banana yellow versions.

Are you trading in that iPhone for the Nokia?
