25 YEARS AGO TODAY, THE NOKIA 3310 WAS BORN.
On 1 September 2000, Nokia unveiled the 3310 in Germany.
Small screen. Snake. Changeable covers. Crazy battery life. And a reputation for being almost indestructible.
It went on to become one of the most iconic phones ever made.
And the legend returned in 2017, when the Nokia 3310 was relaunched in a new avatar.
Did you have one? 😄

#OnThisDay in 1882, English cricket 'died' and the Ashes were born.
England were 51/2 chasing just 85 for victory against Australia at The Oval, but collapsed to 77 all out, with Fred ‘The Demon’ Spofforth claiming 7 for 44.
The rest is history.
#NationalSportsDay is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand, whose legacy continues to inspire generations.
Celebrating the values of discipline, teamwork & determination that sport instils in us.
Happy National Sports Day!
Sad to acknowledge the reality that @ajinkyarahane88 has called it a day. Hugely talented, immensely capable and utterly reliable, he remains India’s best-ever Test captain, who deserved an extended run in the job after his heroic come-from-behind series win in Australia 2020-21. A gentleman to the core and a reassuring presence in the Indian team, he will be remembered for never having achieved the greatness that was predicted for him in his early days, but his story is much more than one of unfulfilled potential. It is that of a man who left cricket better for his participation in it.
Thank you, Ajinkya Rahane! #AjinkyaRahane
