Nokias, that is. I’ve had a 3100 for a little more than seven years, and it’s just kept on going. Sadly, after taking many beatings and the numbers all wearing off the buttons, the power button eventually broke, leaving it dead and lifeless. If I had more spare time, I’d photoshop a picture of it in a little coffin, but this would be stretching the analogy a little too far methinks…

Anyhoo, because I’ve been with Virgin mobile for all that time and more, I got hold of a 2600 from them for all of £7.49. Woo! I don’t rate it’s chance of lasting more than a couple of years, but it is an improvement in some ways. The only thing that really annoys me so far is that the buttons have no tactile feedback – I text a lot more than I talk. Ah well… this is it for now until I think the touchscreen market has stabilised a bit more!
