Nokia’s banana phone from The Matrix is back Price

The Nokia 8110 will be available in May for just 79 euros ($97).

The new Nokia 8110 is displayed during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain February 25, 2018.

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. At the time everyone who considered themselves cool (definitely me) wanted a Nokia phone just like Neo’s, but most of us had to settle for the Nokia 7110 with its spring-loaded slider.
