I like Nokias. They work and don’t break.

My perfect phone would be a waterproof Nokia with a torch. I don’t want something with a touch screen. I don’t want something I’m going to worry about scratching. I would like the internet, but don’t need it.

Blackberry? Do they ever not work?

If you don’t need the internet why consider a blackberry?

(Unless you mean you want e-mail but are not fussed about general interwebs browsing etc)

I have very limited knowledge on phones. Blackberry is the only phone I know of that I don’t hate.

Now that’s cool. They look very similar to nokias, are they just nokias with special covers?

They are made by a company called Sonim and then yellowised and branded for JCB, I believe.

…& lasted my builder friend about 5 minutes before he had to return it for a refund (he’d just dropped it), @ which point the sales guy said ” yeah weve had loads of busted ones back”… he’d bought it from then as it was the most rugged phone they stocked.

why are you sorry?
