Cool Help me choose my phone for 2012

I have heard these are very robust and have a great battery life




But these look more trendy, if a little pink!

Reminds me from when I got my first analogue mobile phone and this digital network was a mere rumour

The 6310 in the first pic is actually the best phone ever made in terms of doing what it was designed to do.

Didn't need charging for over a week, could get a signal just about anywhere it was possible to, never dropped calls, great voice clarity and the SMS message interface was simple and reliable and it featured SMS delivery receipts.

Now let's see which of those the iPhone manages to do.... well it has SMS delivery receipts, but only recently Progress my ****!

I've had quite a few of those Nokia mobiles the best being the 6310i, although I did like the Nokia banana which was seen in the first Matrix film (was it a 73xx or 77xx?).

F1 is right there was nowhere the 6310i would not work.

It was the best 'phone' I ever had. But, I had to carry a PIM with me and use IR to get that online. I also suspect it was illegal in some countries, it's reception was almost magical for a while in the US, in no small part due to no one using GSM back then.

First Li-Po battery I had.

Are you wrong in the head?

What has this thread got to do with Apple?

Well I presume your intention was to try poke fun at all the 'which phone' threads in here recently which have all been focused on Apple as per usual.

So I thought I would just point out in your attempt at humour (failed attempt by the way as humour requires wit and you are shortchanged in that department as you have proved only too often just recently) you have scored a bit of an own goal as the 6310 was actually a better phone than the iPhone when it comes to being a phone!

Hopefully that explains it simple enough language that even you can understand it.

Enjioy the rest of your day ... is it Fischer Price time for you yet?

Do you think you need to go and speak with someone ??
The hatred you have inside (it doesn't actually stay there though) is not normal and could affect your health long term, just chill out relax and be happy

Perhaps make it a new years resolution to hit the back button if you open any kind of phone thread, then step back from the computer, count to ten (or even twenty) then return to the computer and open a different thread

Thank you Doctor DARB, when I need a shrink I will be sure to look you up given that you are able to diagnose online via an Internet forum ... very impressive I must say

It is just my posting style, don't worry about it... I certainly don't.... that and I am not very tolerant of dimwitted posts

This was my first phone on the one2one network back in the mid nineties. Took a credit card sized sim card and the battery lasted half an hour if you actually used to make a call on it!

My wife's first mobile was a small square one with a flip down mike and no display at all! Think it was a Sony??? That sounds wrong though
