If you are the owner of the new Nokia 3 in Ireland you can now check for the latest update which is 7.1.1 right now. The device came with 7.0 and was behind the Nokia 5 and 6. This will bring some additional features to your handset. HMD did earlier say that the device would get the update and given it’s a week or so late it’s not really an issue and they have delivered the goods which is important for users..
The update is quite large so ensure you are connected to your Wi-Fi as its 748.3MB. The update is rolling out around the world as we speak so you check if you are reading from another region. Be patient as always as everyone will not get it at once as its phased and enjoy the benefits when you do receive it.
There is still a bit of hype about the Nokia 3310 however there is several other models which are soon to land on our shores, Thankfully there is no fake versions of the 3,5 and 6 to be seen yet we still need to be careful. Also to note the Nokia 6 can be purchased from some online sites right now outside the UK but you need to be careful on what you get and it has the Play Store installed but with Android there is many ways around this.
Nokia are to come back into the game this year with multiple models but their launch plans have followed suit of old and dates being pushed back this is not boding well for users waiting to get a new phone with the NOKIA logo atop. Also with other devices launching next month it will become a very picky market for people to decide on what their next smartphone will be regardless the cost but for entry level and mid tier which the 3,5 and 6 will cover there is already ample choice and with more devices coming soon it will leave people who are fed up just spending their hard earned cash on other models..
Vodafone will be selling the Nokia 3 and are the first to shed light on the device whilst the other operators remain silent but we expect that to change pretty soon, The price comfirmed by their latest mazagine which I picked up today in the city has the Nokia 3 pencilled in at €149 which is a fair price. The device can be bought though sim free but you will pay way over the odds and of course you have the early adopter rush which wont stop some folk paying more now rather than waiting.
Vodafone have said to keep an eye out early August for the Nokia 3 so if this is for you stay tuned for more when we get it from the Irish end of things. Pricing will most likely vary per network but this is what you can expect to pay or therabouts when it launches in stores soon, Sim Free prices of course are much higher but Sim Free phones are best overall and does not leave you tied to lenghty contract unless you buy it outright if it suits. At this price though we would expect to see it free on all billpay plans..
If you cant wait you can pick it up from John Lewis or Clove whom are reputable sellers and we have used them both in the past..
