just thought i would ask a few ideas on what people think as at the moment i have no clue as i have had the same phone for about 2 years now. it is a sony ericsson k800i. now to make things clear i am not a lover of the I Phone, or any other gimmicky touch screen jobby as i dont find them practical as i use daily in my job as a HGV driver and i find them too fragile and fiddly. any ideas. cheers, lee. btw, i have been with them that long they say they will pretty much give me whatever i want!!

 

I can see you with one of these Lee

i would say if you don't fancy a touch screen then perhaps a Blackberry or Nokia. I'm in construction and have my touch screen phone on me all day with no problems (HTC) i have it in a pouch (suede type) with a draw cord at the top not much bigger than the phone and it has kept it in perfect condition for 6 months now so don't let your job put you off one.

one came up on ebay not long ago and i just lost out on it, went for over a £120. The comedy value when someone asked to borrow your phone and you gave them that was too much to miss, but not £120 too much.

what do you do in construction then mate?
and i am a carpenter and find the i phone a superb bit of kit
very durable on site
screen is hard wearing

 

Civils mainly, deep drainage and roads for Persimmon Homes, Redrow, Harron homes and the like. Luckily for us we got involved with one of the biggest construction companys in this area and was doing a lot of big commercial jobs before the crash and so that has carried us through building new schools council depots industrial estates etc.

Sorry for the thread hijack

 

If you liked the SE K800i then I think the closest upgrade version is the SE C902. I just got my SWMBO and daughter one of these each and they seem quite a sturdy phone. I had 2 K800i's(which I really liked) and upgraded to a C905 which is a slide phone which seems a bit fragile by comparison.

 

would look good with my filofax i have to admit
