Nokia's yuppie phone
We can't really speak for the rest of the country, but here in New York we've pretty much wrapped up with this whole Eighties retro thing and are hurtling straight towards the grunge-tinged nostalgia of early Nineties retroness. Not that any of this matters much to Nokia, it's just that their announcement that their new 3120 cellphone was designed for "young professionals" sent us straight back to the mid-Eighties, a time when people would willing label themselves as young professionals. And besides Nokia simply declaring it so, we're not exactly sure what makes the 3120 a yuppie phone (rather than a phone for anyone else), especially since its only distinguishing features seem to be its color screen and some animated screen savers.
