    Had this run Android as a base and supported at least 3G, I would've been all over this. But as it stands, it's just another Nokia feature phone for developing markets that's getting a little bit of extra press due to its name and resemblance to an old classic.

    It's be nice to have a reason to own a Nokia again, though. I might pick up a #Nokia 5 if I happen to be in the market for a nondescript 5" slab of plastic, but as a resurrection of the brand, it kinda goes against what Nokia stood for. Well, apart from the fact that it comes in 4 different colors.

    Nokia used to have crazy, inventive designs. Why not resurrect something like the #Nokia X5-01 and slap Android on it? The smartphone market is so depressingly homogenous, and there's no one out there going against the grain. Even BlackBerry's future is up in the air as we don't know yet if their new owner is gonna continue developing Qwerty-phones.

    The only place where you can still get a little bit of variety is Japan, which is why I'm currently rockin a lime green #Kyocera Gratina 4G flip phone running Android. It doesn't even have a touch screen (instead the keypad doubles as a capacitive trackpad), but hey, T9 is still a valid method for text entry.

    I really hope we can see something similar from this new Nokia in the future.
