I am a big fan of the older nokia phones, especially the ones with only two screen colours. I accidentally flung them across rooms, dropped them on sidewalks and even put one through a dryer once. They always still worked and I have only ever replaced them when other people bought me newer models.

However, my latest nokia is shocking compared to the others I have had before it. The case started falling off the back about 3 weeks into using it. It takes around 3 minutes to turn on and freezes without fail every time I try to delete my messages or have a look at my call log. A few friends of mine have experienced similar problems with their more expensive models too.

When I run out of room for messages (because I can't delete them), I'm just going to find out where I packed up my phone from 3 years ago and use that. I'd rather have no internet/camera/mms then try my luck with another new nokia.

I've actually considered reviving one of my ancient phones as well, I rarely if ever use any of the more advanced features of this phone anyway, I use mine to call and to very rarely send sms messages. I've used the browser once to see if it works (it does). So I really don't 'need' a fancy phone. I guess I shouldn't complain too much because the phone company sent it for free because they apparently make too much money on me but still, basic functionality should simply work as good or better as in a previous release, why regress ?
