My old Nokia finally died last year. Almost usable, too quiet to hear what anyone said, and the battery needed replacing. Was a little gutted, because I'd kept that phone for several years. I liked it. It was like a small housebrick...comfortably weighted. It was one of the very early ventures into colour screens, and had a ridiculously pixilated pic of pilau as its wallpaper (sent in a text, the phone itself had no camera).
So, a friend gave me their old phone (might have been a sony erikson) which I had for almost a year. Lost that a couple of months ago. At first I was like someone who'd lost a vital organ. Felt so strange not being contactable. My guilty secret is that I liked it and prevaricated on setting up a new one for almost 3 months. Another friend gave me her old Razr phone. I waited almost 4 weeks before putting in a sim and phoning my provider to get my old phone number back.
If I had loads of money, I'd be interested in the new, more computer-like phones. I don't though, so I'll stick to whatever handme downs I inherit or gifts I receive for now. I'm happy to wait anyway...until they really are fully integrated and mobile little communication hubs.
I do occasionally covet the iphone some people have.
