Like a Zippo

Beautiful to use: Nokia unveils three new handsets that merge modern functionality with classic and sophisticated looks
The first thing I thought was “wow! Are they really releasing the Nokia Remade?”

Excited by the chance to play it again, I dashed at the site, and had a nice (if short) evening [...]

Juno made me feel good
