The much-hyped Nokia 3310 is finally set for a worldwide release more than two months after its announcement. Nokia Mobile has confirmed in a tweet that it would start shipping the new feature phone soon without specifying the exact date.
HMD Global unveiled the Nokia 3310 along with the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The Nokia 3, 5 and 6 have already been made available in select markets but they are yet to be released on a global scale. It is to be seen of the handsets will make a global release before the arrival of the Nokia 3310 and come together.

Interestingly, Nokia Mobile Twitter handle has shared a teaser of the Nokia 3310 that reads: "Your 17 year wait is over, now shipping" but it didn't mention the exact date. It was earlier reported that the device would see the light of day in the second quarter of 2017 (April to June), which means it should arrive at least before the end of next month.
