Very true Bundy, it's just a gimmick that Nokia have cleverly got people to buy into using a nostalgia angle.

Think a lot of people just want a telephone, no rubbish that comes with current smart phones. Facebooking on the go ,photographing your food to message the world etc.Think people are a bit tired of all that.Understandably so.

The nostalgia of ' the telephone' is a pretty big pull .Think people are growing up really. Finally

I agree with the 2nd bit, but I think you are very wrong for the first, social media has never been more popular atm with instagram, snapchat etc

My first mobile was one of these...



Had it for ages, even after small lighter phones came out as I had all the bits for it. Remember some girl at a party scoffing at it, so I said can your phone do this and dropped it onto the stone floor. It bounced and still worked

Have had a variety of phones over time but one of my favourites was the Ericson T39. Small form factor, decent battery life, whats not to like?



Other phones include T68, GH388 (another good phone and first I could use to get handsfree on a motorbike) and of course Nokias including a "ruggedised" one that my Mum still uses.

I've got a Nokia 6300 I've been trying to get the unlock code for but O2 are struggling, so I've just bought a CAT B25 from Amazon. Orange/EE works where I am in Wales and good to take out when I'm out on the MTB I thought.
