My Blackberry is to be retired to the bin, I am downgrading to an old style Nokia mobile phone. I have to make the following compromises

- I can dial a number without a microscope...

- The battery lasts 3 days, who could have thought this would be possible ?

- I can read the screen - OK I need to use my glasses more, but the ones I use in the car are for distance, not phone...

- The PC integration software works and does not forget what phone it is linked to like a muppet.

- It does not get email. This is so good, no it really is. Not getting something should be in the frugal thread maybe.

- and it fits in my pocket, with no leather...

And the best part of it is that because nobody else at work wants it I get to stamp on it and crush it and bash it with a hammer.

EDIT - athough I will lose my hi score at Brickbreaker - which is also carp.
