Last week it started to turn itself off, and the only way to get it back working was to remove the battery and re-turn on, my works got me a replacement, a re-conditioned one. This worked fine for 2 days then started doing the same, now it won't turn on at all.... the joys of mobile phones, at least the boss can't nag me now :D but no else can get hold of me until they sort out a new phone.

They have now change from the 6310 to 6600. :D Are these better or worse?

Hateful things... I ditched all the Nokias at my old place because they were so unreliable. Battery connections failing, cutting off in mid-call, etc.

Changed to Motorolas... much better... but it seems that they don't make sensible phones any more either.

Anyone remember when a phone was just for making and receiving phone calls ?

I keep getting calls offering me free upgrades but I need a tri-band phone without a camera. Do they make one now? Seemingly not.

'Ooo, Sir, we've this top of the range, LG / Sony / Nokia / Klakibonko / whatever - really small - very trendy! Yours for a free upgrade'
'Has it got a camera?'
'Oh, yes. A cracker it is too, proper VGA job'
'Sorry, they'll sack me'
'?'

The 6310 stays in the pocket!

I like it as I have a proper Nokia handsfree for it -what other (newer) Nokias will fit one of those kits ? I know that my old 5110 did......

Post by: muddysteve on February 08, 2005, 20:52:44: my contract with O2 was about to run out at the end of the month so they kindly offered me a free motorola V3 razor thingy to replace me t610. looks like i'll be staying with them for another year then :)

As for all the gadgets on phones they can at times be usefull, the cameras are dead handy if you have a car accident, saves trying to draw a scetch of the damage etc although most are just a novelty

Post by: gords on February 08, 2005, 22:56:06: Different people, different experience :) I have had quite a few Nokias, the last one being a 6310i which the wife now has.

The only 2 non-Nokia phones I've had (got one now :| ) have had problems that get to me. The 6310i has probably been the best phone I've had - just let down by it's size (a little bit too big). Also, I really miss the desk charger/cradle and car kit. Oh well, that's progress for you :roll:

Post by: BIG_ORANGE_90 on February 09, 2005, 07:30:07: Ye thats the best nokia to date i think. All of our vans have h/f kits and use the 6310 and 6310i. They rarely go wrong and have decant sized buttons .
