The Prime Minister of the Netherlands still likes to use the old Nokia 301 cellphone, the reason makes sense!
5/21/2022
However, the behavior of the Dutch head of state is very different, namely the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who is currently going viral because he is still using an old series of Nokia phones, namely the Nokia 301.
The Nokia 301 is an old school phone that was released in 2013 and of course it is no longer produced.
Mark seems to remain loyal to using that old phone when we all have switched to more productive and sophisticated smartphones.
Of course, as Prime Minister, Mark used his old cell phone a lot for work, such as sending messages and keeping notes.
Mark seemed to have trouble keeping all the messages he received, because his cellphone was old.
We all know that old generation phones like the Nokia 301 are of course slow and have little storage memory.
He even sorts himself which messages should be deleted and which messages are still important to keep.
So Mark must regularly archive messages he receives to another storage, so that memory space is always available to receive new messages.
Nokia 301 only has 256 MB of internal memory and 64 MB of RAM memory.
Why doesn't Mark switch to a smartphone which is certainly very affordable for his salary as prime minister?
It turns out that Mark admits that he doesn't like using smartphones, which makes it more difficult to type on because smartphones don't have buttons.
Mark admits that he is more comfortable typing through his old Nokia 301 cell phone, especially because it has a keypad.
A reasonable reason, because today's smartphones do not provide a keypad so that people who are not used to it will have difficulty typing fast.
However, of course, due to his hectic and busy workload, his old phone was slow.
Moreover, there are thousands of messages stored on the phone.
Responding to a slow cellphone, Mark will check his messages and delete those that are considered unimportant.
The photo of Mark using his old Nokia 301 cellphone went viral.
In the Netherlands, Mark's personality is well known as a simple man, even he only rides a bicycle every time he goes to work.
Thanks to his nature that can avoid various scandals, Mark has been dubbed the 'premier phone'.
But now news is circulating that Mark is already using a smartphone, which was confirmed by his press adviser.
The reason is that Mark finally has a smartphone because his old Nokia cellphone didn't get a signal during a visit to the United States.
