Does anyone ever feel the urge to use an old phone, just for old times sake?
I've been using an old Nokia 3210 (sorry) I got off Ebay along with another 3210 for just under £10 inc. postage for the last two days and actually enjoyed it!
I always wanted one of these when they first came out, but couldn't afford it. Of course, it's not a patch on my P800 feature-wise, it's wierd!
Does anyone else sometimes feel the need to get an old phone out and use it for a little while, or am I a bit strange? I know a lot of people here have a lot of phones, or collect them.
btw, I'm sure there's already a thread on this, but I can't find it, I've done a couple of searches and nothing! Apologies if there is.

I know how you feel. I want to use the PDA phone used in one of the latest James Bond films which he uses to drive his car. Don't feel strange, I know just how you feel.

sure! i still enjoy using my R520, T39 and T68m a lot. in fact, i have even greater respect today for these phones than when they first came out because of how well they stand up to current day phones, feature and performance-wise. well, at least up until the T610/T630/Z600 generation.
it just goes to show how well engineered these models were. so much so that i've actually gotten rid of my Z600 and use my T68m as its replacement, since i don't care for cameras and polyphonics anyway. man, howe can you beat the one-week battery life of the R520 and the T39?????
as far as phones go, i've made up my mind that i'm sticking with these phones, and that the only 'new' one i will be getting will be the P910 to retire my P800.

I did have a couple of T39s as well for a little while after I fixed microphone problems - they were great phones! I actually have an as new R520m - might have a play with that next - the only thing those phones need to compete will the current crop of camera phones is a camera and a colour screen. They'd then pretty much have to same spec (sometimes more!) than a lot of phones on sale today.
I also have an old but fully working /// GA628 currently - I don't think I'd lost that in a hurry!
