When mobiles first started being readily available in the mid 90's I had the best that you could get each year. I just wanted the newest smallest on the market.
When the Nokia 8210 came out, phones, for me, had hit the best point in their existance. It was small, light, battery efficient and did what I wanted. I loved it. I loved it so much I kept it until 2005 when after many repairs it died in a pool of condensation due to leaving the windows of my apartment open whilst staying next to the Maekong. Maekong mist killed it.
At that point I bought a smartphone from o2 - it lasted a week and then was wrecked in a motorbike accident.
I went back to a normal phone since then. That only does what it says on the tin.
My trusty Nokia something or other, has now bitten the ghost. Keys arent working and it's screen is badly scratched.
So is it time to get with the 21st century and get something a bit fancier or not?
Sell me a smartphone or standard phone and explain why I should or shouldn't change.
