I have given up on phones, I get excited about them for about a month then just use them for phone calls and texts. Got a free Xperia play (the one with the playstation slide out control) £16.00 a month for dicking about with emulators.

I got an iPhone, everyone keeps asking 'ooh, what apps have you got?'

None, i tell em, its a phone, i make phone calls on it, thats all

Load of old bollocks, give me back my Nokia 6230 anyday

 

[Raven]

was all about the 6210. You fancy boys with your 6230s!

Aye. All depends what you use your phone for. Literally just phone calls & texts - then stick to your old fashioned reliable long-lasting battery Nokia. And no one's gonna want to nick it.

Nokia 6110. Slap bang in the middle of that pic with the sexual chameleonesque colours. Loved. That. Phone.

the last Nokia I owned was the silver-grey one, bottom row, 2nd one in counting from the right. Battery lasted bloody ages.

Ah yeah the 8810 (iirc), they were dead fancy at the time. I had the 8210 (red one middle of the same row) and I still have 2 of the 7110 "banana" phones in a drawer.

Oh, Nokia, what happened to you?

One of my favourites was the very very tiny cute Panasonic GD55. Smallest phone I've ever owned. Awesome call quality and battery life for such a tiny thing. Still got it & it still works!

The 8210 was the last Nokia I owned, SE gained my loyalty for a few generations with the sublime T610 and I only just left SE for Samsung. I wouldn't even contemplate buying Nokia now, whereas 10-15 years ago it was just the natural choice it seems.

Top row 4th from the right.

Loved. That. Phone.

I got rid of my work iPhone and now use a Nokia E5 I have 2 bars of battery left on day 11. I love it it's an on call phone which syncs me email at times I am not in the office Symbian is not a great os but for a work phone it's great.

Battery Tech really isn't improving that fast and yet it is needed for so many products and future ideas.

Question Ed: Why get an iPhone if all you're using it for is calls?
