    My Nokia 3210 has been going strong for five years now. The moral of this story - get a quality cellphone and it will serve you well for years to come.

    I've got a Nokia 1100 which I got a couple of years ago (or was it 3?), and it still works wonderfully well after being dropped from a height of several meters a couple of times (it landed on rocks once, and almost fell in the sea...). It has absolutely no bells & whistles, and as a result the battery lasts for 10 days without needing recharge (always good for me because I ALWAYS forget to recharge my phone).

    My Nokia 6060 looks nice, works nice, and the battery is of good quality, but the GUI could had used more thinking. Many of the folders are inter-linked and there are too many layers of them -which makes it confusing to use them. I would had also liked to have the "end call" button right at the hands instead of having to search for it from the selection...

    Plus, hands-free should had been included in the package. You really can't play those games without it since you can't mute phone-apps.

    Shall we organise a contest? :p
    Mine is B&W, no java, no camera, no radio, no anything really. It's got the really useful stuff (alarm, timer, reminders, and so on) that I use a lot, considering how bad my memory is, but other than that it's just a phone. Small and light, too!
    :doh: I can't believe it, I sound like a Nokia advert, and for an old phone on top of it

    The 1100 is basically a newer version of the 3210 that is a bit smaller and has better battery life.

    What would be the point of putting a colour screen on it? You only need 2 colours to be able to type in a phone number.
