Remember those simpler days, before Twitter and full keyboard and even color. These were the days when you couldn't cure boredom by updating your Facebook status. You usually only had two options; actually give someone a call and beg them to entertain you or try to beat the high score on Snake. This was the golden age of Snake, a short-lived but memorable era. Much as Pong was for home consoles, Nokia's simple and addictive game was just the beginning for cellphone entertainment.
Nowadays, I'm lucky to play through my entire demo before my game of Diner Dash gets interrupted by a Buy Now button. I may be able to get Resident Evil 4 on my Iphone, but these things come at a price. So my suggestion to Nokia is; instead of trying to compete with the application kings out there, bring back Snake and maybe cheapskates, like myself, may hold that as the deciding factor when choosing a solid basic featured phone (oh and you might want to work on the design of some of those too).
