Nokia phones - fail! Other options?
« on: 27 December 2011, 06:53:57 pm »
My trusted old Motorola V8 Razr finally packed in and went to Silicon heaven (where all the little calculators go). So go me a Nokia C3-00 for xmas - seemed quite good but is sadly lacking, mostly simple features, but things I use often (multiple alarms, countdown timer, can't change display timeout, cannot switch off the damn snooze function etc). No wonder Nokia sales and revenue are in free fall.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want a touch screen (been borrowing a dreadfull HTC wildfire) - I like the qwerty keyboard bit but don't need the whole email/facebook/msn/app/web browser thing. Well at least at the mo I've no need to check my email whilst riding to work or taking a dump.

Also don't wanna spend a small fortune on it. lol

pointer2null,
 
Same here, updated to the C3. rubbish. Mind you I did get £80 for it on ebay.
 
So I went back to the good old 6500 classic.
 
Super slim, easy to use. Maybee an age thing, need to keep it simples.

Isn't there a new razr out now? Sorry, I just saw the advert, I don't know much about it. It might be worth a look if you liked your old one? :)

Was going to suggest you got the wrong Nokia until I saw the bit about not liking touch screens.  I've got a Nokia N8 and not only does it do everything you wanted it to do, it's also got it's own satnav.  Every bit as good as a TomTom or Garmin but free.  There's loads of other stuff it can do like Facetwit and Twitbook or whatever they are, but I just uninstalled them although I did leave BBC iPlayer on it just because I could.  It's also got a 12M camera and shoots HD video if that's what you want.

They sold a quarter of a billion of them.
