Post by: Bush Tucker Man on July 16, 2007, 21:34:31: I have a Nokia 6210.

It is perfect for my requirements;

Plus points;
It rings, I can make/answer phone-calls, it fits a full hands-free kit in the 110
It doesn't take pictures, tell me the time in Hong-Kong, bake chocolate cake (or whatever all the modern phones do now?)
I don't have to have one of those giant hearing aids clamped around my ear

Minus Points;
It's not compatible with SWMBOs car-kit (she has a Nokia 3100)

Post by: UKJeeper on July 16, 2007, 21:48:47: Another vote for the N73 here. Great phone, solid connections to the masts, good battery life (for a 3g phone), great camera/video, bucketloads of apps, including Tomtom, viewranger (uses OS maps), etc.

Post by: Guardian. on July 16, 2007, 22:12:45: DONT HAVE A NOKIA N95, EVERYONE TOLD ME DONT GET ONE!, I IGNORED THEM ALL, BIGGEST MISTAKE I HAVE MADE YET!
ON THE 4TH ONE NOW, TOTAL CRAP PHONES, LOTS OF WHISTLES AND BELLS, BUT FOREVER BREAKING DOWN.

Post by: Lord Shagg-Pyle on July 16, 2007, 22:22:24: I've got one that makes phone calls and apparently it has this 'text' facility on it. Not a clue what that means though.
Apparently I'm going shopping for a Betamax 'Video Cassette Recorder'!
Wonders will never cease! :shock:

Post by: Range Rover Blues on July 17, 2007, 00:12:28: I'd just lke one that works. I've had the MD Vario for a year now and I have had to resort to plan B again when I go to collect SWMBO from work, when I get there I throw the 'phone at the window, that and the sound of a V8 alerts her to my presence.

Yep, me too, and I have a car kit fitted, just like yours.

The phone is more than five years old and it has never given me any problems, bounces well if/when I drop it and the battery still gives me days and days on standby.

I have thought about changing it, but I really can't think why I should.......... All these new fangled phone things which make the toast but need replacing every six months (http://www.forumtowers.com/forum/Smileys/default/old.gif) I don't care about taking photos on my phone, after all I don't make calls on my camera.

The battery is going a bit on mine, it's a pity that the Lithium in my previous 3310 doesn't fit as that was very long-lived

Exactly!!

If I want to take pictures I use a camera

Title: whitch mobile?>
Post by: pilgrim on July 17, 2007, 13:29:37: n95 with viewranger software for os map gps.

no problems with mine since i updated the firmware on it. battery life is a bit rubbish but can be spared by turning off most applications until you actually need them.
