Does anyone out there know if the colour screens fade with use / age or even give up after a long while?
Or do they go on for ever?

Get ready for one of the Nokia fanboys coming in saying the Nokia phones have triple that lifetime, and that this perfectly shows how Shite SE phones are, and that they dont care about there consumers.
But seriously, yeah, I think the 5-8 years is about right, depends on how much u use the phone. That is the optimum lifetime though, it doesnt take into account shock damage and such.
LCD screen do not last forever, that shows on old laptops for instance. Even Plasma screens worth thousands of dollars dont have a much longer life that 5-8 years.

Oh, No! That means, in 2069, when there is still rumours flying around about a T68i replacement, the calender feature will be redundent!

Nokia phones have crappy displays.
And crappy batteries.
And very shock intolerant.
And very common for their Xpress on covers is that they look CHEAP,feel CHEAP, and you can almost smell the plastic.
No phone beats nokia when it comes to convincing it's beholders that the phone is indeed made of plastic. And Cheap plastic to boot.
You might think that I'm a die hard ericsson fan. But you are wrong. In fact this summer I traded My t65 for a nokia 3510. A few weeks back though my patience ran out. Although typing an sms is nice on a nokia. Everything else(EVERYTHING) is so halfway done. poly ringtones(with only 4 chords), The inability to download images, poly ringtones(you have pay obscene amounts of money for them because of (what nokia calls a feature, I call it a limitation) VAS(value added services).
And of course the PLASTIC..
No ir port, no possibility to connect it to a pc in any way.
And might I add the fact that it looks a little plastic?
And don't believe anyone when they try to convince you that the menu system of a nokia is better than other phones. I feel it's worse.
13 items on the main menu. this rules hot keys for all the elements. the tools are number 10 or 11 I think.. meaning accessing the calculator, stopwatch and so forth requires much button pressing.
Same goes for the Oh so basic calendar and the lack of periodic alarm clock.
They also seem content with the fact that the phone usually only displays one menu item at the time.
A trend they also continue with in the brand spanking new 7210 with it's large Color screen.
I'm still not a die hard ericsson fan.
I am however after 3 months of owning one a die hard nokia hater.
