i just need something that makes calls using a sim I have from a contract, I had a cheap Android thing but it **** itself and I've been sim swapping since... rubbish.

I still use my V50 for times I don't want to carry the 7. It is the size of my thumb, clips to my jeans unnoticed and with 1 slide of a button on my 7 I have all calls diverted.
I was lucky enough to have a company mobile from the early nineties, we were a young tech company so I had lots of nice devices. I paired via infrared to my Psion and later Palm Pilot. There's video of me demonstrating a possible piece of malware on a Palm Pilot.
Mind you,apart from motorola can't remember who else made mobiles before smart screen mania.lol
Panasonic made some pretty snazy phones their P1 (i think) was a revelation in the days of phones the size of house bricks, they brought out a phone the size of a small tv remote control,(one inch x 5 inches) then NEC brought out the thinest at about half an inch thick those were the days... that's when the real jump in technology occurred, from briefcase to palm of hand inside 5yrs... imagine where we'd be now if it had continued at such a rate... the mind boggles.
And yes I was in the trade 30yrs ago when the only cars we fitted phones to were Rolls, daimlers, bentleys, jags.
It's really not though, it's a matter of expectation and a lot of the reviews seem to be expecting it to be something that it was never going to be.
No Neil you are wrong, it's just a piece of marketing ****. The only one thing people were expecting it to be was rugged, which it isn't, so it fails at the first step.

As someone who'll also buy one the first thing I wanted it to be was basic, the second cheap, rugged wasn't on my list.

Why would you expect it to be rugged? The original 3310 wasn't particularly.
What? of course it was, you could throw it around, drop it onto concrete and it wouldn't bat an eyelid. Also if you are going to put a cam into the new one, why make it a sh1tty 2mp shooter, at least give it something half decent, it's complete poo.

The 3310 was no more rugged than any other phone of that generation (except ironically the ruggedised version Nokia did) and I'm yet to see any proof the new version is any less rugged.
As for the camera, agreed. I really don't see the point in fitting a token gesture, they may as well have not bothered. Especially given a 12mp sensor wouldn't have cost much more.
