Morning all

My old Samsung S2 finally died the other day so I dug up an old Nokia 6300. I quite like its stocky small no nonsense build and it hardly needs charging all the time like my old S2. I wondered if I could get something similar to the 6300 with a bit more memory and wifi capability. Dont care how old it is really.

Anybody got any ideas ?

I use a Samsung GT-B2710. Waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, so ideal for a cyclist. 4 or 5 weeks between battery charges. Very basic internet access if you need it in an emergency, and Bluetooth so it'll connect to the car etc. It takes Micro SD cards so can store hundreds of albums worth of music, and it has a competent, if not exciting, camera. I love it.

You're in luck. Nokia has revived the old 3310 which you may remember.

Limited internet facilities but long battery life. Bit of info here:

Its cos he iz a drug dealer!!

According to the "Police Camera Interceptor Dog Squad" programmes on the tele, only drug dealers use the non-smart phones to avoid tracking and detection

If they find one of these then you are a suspect, and if (like me) you have two phones, it is even more suspicious as one has to be for your nefarious crimes, and the other for personal use

A few of us hard core nutters find not being tied to a hypno-box quite liberating. It's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers out there, and us lucky few have evaded slavery.

I don't but then again I don't spend all day staring at it.Battery lasts quite well on mine.Generally got 90%+ battery by the time I get home from a shift.(without having to charge it at work)

Thanks all for the help so far, must admit I never thought when I made this post that I would be accused of bike theft and drug selling though

I used a Samsung Pocket Neo for a couple of years, its a smart phone, in the loosest terms of the words but I liked its size. If my finger though were just a few mm bigger it would have been too small.

It must be something to do with being old and retired. My Mum has the same attitude to mobile phones

I don't do Facebook, so don't feel compelled to whip a phone out and stare at it every 12 seconds, and it will be a cold day in Hell before I take a selfie
