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!

I still like to use my first phones sometimes, 3210 and Sony J5. And just bought a new unused T28. The first Ericsson phone for me! =)

I am very glad that so many ppl still likes old fashioned phones made by Ericsson. Just for yours information on expansys.com they still sells brand new - full packed R520 for about 50 GB Pounds and T68i for about 90 GBP which now becaming an SE/James Bond clasics....

I use a Ericsson T39m as I have had plenty all singing, all dancing color phones-but ditched them because they were too flash for me. The T39m has everything I need from Infared to Bluetooth. A phone should call and text not replace all other gadgets you have. Long live Retro Phones

I was looking for this thread recently but couldn't find it!
I've had another of those 'retro' periods, been using an 8310, 6310i, and recently a Nokia 6600 and currently having a play with an S700i I recently fixed, reminded me how good a phone this was (and still is!)
@tizzicle - so you're more of a 'one gadget for each use' person rather than a 'jam everything into one device' kinda person? I tend to be more of a 'jam everything into one device' person, but sometimes hanker after the days when a phone was for texting and calls only, I have a 3310 I'm tempted to used for a few days too!
btw, quick plug but I'm selling a T39m on Ebay at the moment if anyone's interested

A while ago i took a Motorola Startac 7200 to the pub. It got a few weird looks when I made a call. It doesnt even send text messages.

I still carry with me my old
T68i (replaced all new covers/keypad and battery) . . . and still am happy everytime I make a call. During the recent years, I always see to it that I carry with me a Nokia 6510 (one of the smallest with compact-functionality that I had for years . . .) ever reliable !

I think you mean the 8110 I think it was, the 'banana' slider phone as the 'matrix' phone, the 7610 was the megapixel phone with the two curved edges, not a bad phone that though!
I've got an old T68i, was going to sell it but don't think I will now, forgotten how good a phone it is!
