Yes, but no...
I'm a big fan of Samsung phones, having had the original Galaxy Note (pretty unique at the time), and now have the Galaxy 6 Edge Plus (lovely, lovely phone), and it'd be nice to have an '8 to go with my '8 - perhaps a black one in a red leather case, like this
 ).However, in practical terms, I'm unlikely to buy one anytime soon for several "sensible" reasons: 1) I currently have four perfectly serviceable Android phones (The Edge, an LG G3, a OnePlusOne, and and HTC M8), and it now seems that the genuinely useful improvements in functionality have tailed off in the last few years. I have bluetooth, HD video/stills, the ability to cast from my 'phone to my large TV, lots of storage, etc, so I'm not sure what value I get from buying the "next shiny product" 2) If I was buying a new phone, I'd be more tempted by another OnePlus (like this - http://www.trustedreviews.com/oneplus-3-review ) at half the price of buying an HTC/Samsung/LG In fact, what's more likely is that I'll change my main 'phone plan to a SIM only one, for the reasons given about, and save myself somewhere between £300 and £500 a year

Probably not much chance of Samsung releasing one in platinum grey Like you, if I bought one it would just be buying one for the sake of it. I have everything I need in my present tablets and phones, which are already SIM only. Maybe I'll wait until just before they release its successor. Perhaps then they'll release a Final Edition model!

Talking phone and sim only
I have transferred SWMBOs and mine to ID at 10£ for Gwen and £15 for me. So now I'm paying less for the two than I was for just mine. AND (sorry for shouting) neither of us hits any of the limits. In fact unused data allowance is rolled forward so mine is building, brilliant. Mine is a Samsung S5, G has an iPhone, both happy with them.

Honestly, no. You've got two great classics there, 3310 and 6210, these two phones has changed my life back in the day. What I would do Neil is add to this collection Nokia 6100 which is my ultimate best Nokia ever, then 6210 and 3rd place 3310. I actually got a 6100 Audi cradle so I may bring that back to life soon.

Nowt wrong with them phones Neil
I still use a 6310i as my main business mobile. I have the Cullman cradle, so it works in the D2. It fits in my pocket better than a smart phone and it lasts at least a week on a full charge. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone too, but I don't use it for calls, just internet access.

6310i is a winner, I keep 2 for holidays as they last up to a month without charging when roaming abroad.
Like many of us I have a very "eclectic" collection, of which the Nokia 8146 (banana phone with slide cover) is a favourite.  One I have that I doubt anyone else does is a Nokia 101. Basic phone, very small, two SIM cards (both active) and a torch.
