How old is your mobile phone?

Flukey · 20-06-2008 04:02PM #1

I don't change my phone regularly, as some people seem to. I have my current one since September 2003 and it is still going strong. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that many phones do, but as I am just a talk and text person, it does what I need it to do. It's a Nokia 3510i. Some people seem to change their phone very regularly. How long have you got yours?

couple of months, have a habit of drooping them down the can and what not

Rob_l · 20-06-2008 04:10PM

phones get traded up every 12 months

missmatty · 20-06-2008 04:11PM

Nearly a year and a half, usually upgrade once every 2 years, unfortunately I never lose or break it

xzanti · 20-06-2008 04:12PM

The handset itself is about 7 months old but I have the same model since Xmas 06/07, the first one was stolen on me :mad:

challengemaster · 20-06-2008 04:15PM

G'wan Flukey! Me and you mate!

Can't beat the 3510i. Durable as hell, I've thrown mine around a whole bunch, lashed it against a wall in the pub once in anger at the missus at the time, my mates didn't know what was going on as I said nothing, just stood up and threw the phone across the bar! Oh, and I played target practice in my mates flat, his second floor sitting room window was open just a few inches, managed to get the phone through the gap, catching the window fairly hard, and then falling on to the street below.

That was three years ago...

I have two phones. A Sony Ericsson that I got at Christmas 2007 (but didn't use until February '08) and a Motorola that I got August 2006.

seamus · 20-06-2008 04:27PM

Usually change it once a year. More often if the mood takes me.

But I'm exceptionally tough on phones. The phone I got last August is pretty screwed. Two of the buttons and the little stick thing don't work unless you press on them hard and it's scratched to bejaysus.

Xavi6 · 20-06-2008 04:29PM

Nokia E65 going strong after a year. No plans to change it.

Blisterman · 20-06-2008 04:32PM

I regret changing phones. I had the cheapest pay as you go phone, which was about 2 years old, when I upgraded, and still could last a week between chargings. My current phone is lucky if it lasts 2 days.

Duggy747 · 20-06-2008 04:40PM

My Nokia phone is about 2 years old. I bought it cuz a friend recommended it to me plus I always wanted a phone with a good camera on it - I could be entertained for hours playing around with a camera. I've never had any problems with it until I recently lost the memory card

but ended up buying a 2GB + SD card adapter for less than a tenner

I've noticed with a load of newer Nokia phones that the 2mp cameras aren't as good as they used to be, you can faintly make out this greenish grid on pictures.

One of my friends is hopeless with phones. Nearly every month he's got a new one and within a week I always see him poking at it with a nail cuz it's missing keys, missing case, cracked screen, covered in plaster, etc

Kovik · 20-06-2008 04:44PM

4 years on mine. No camera or media message support. The back's falling off and I just about get 1 day's battery life per full charge.

It has a qwerty keyboard that I don't want to surrender. Girlfriend tried to get me to change a while back but there's was no way I was letting her get her hands on Old Betty.

The Bollox · 20-06-2008 04:45PM

I got a SE w810i in February last year and still have it. I may have to change it soon though as the recarge port is really p*ssing me off now. I have a Nokia 3310 as my backup phone. I have had that for years. great phone, the only thing I don't like about it is the lack of a mass delete option for text messages, you have to go through them one-by-one

Gavin "shels" · 20-06-2008 04:52PM

I get free phones, so change it whenever I get a new one.:cool: Have my phone under a year.

rossie1977 · 20-06-2008 04:56PM

have had my current phone since november 2004 and no plans to change it unless it blows up or gets lost.

i had gone through at least 5 handsets in the 2 years previous to getting my current model so i am a bit wary of stupid malfunctioning phones :mad:

I haven't given mine as much abuse as you've given yours, but my Nokia 3510i is going strong. I often go into the phone shops to see what is there, but I always come to the conclusion that what I have is as good as any of them and that I should hold onto it.

Terry · 20-06-2008 07:59PM

I have no idea what model my phone is.
I've only ever bought one and that was a nokia 6xxx that I bought two years ago.

It was capable of connecting to wireless internet long before the iphone was even heard of. Had a large screen and I had a 4GB memory.
Left it in the pub one night and, due to a small miscommunication and the fact that there are two Rye bridges in Leixlip, I never saw it again.

The one I have now, I got from a friend.

It makes and takes calls and sends and recieves texts.
That's good enough for me.

Well, except for the fact that I forgot to charge it after getting it back from a cab driver last night.

Have had mine a year. Dropped it a few months ago and thought I'd have to replace it but it appears to have fixed itself.

melekalikimaka · 20-06-2008 08:14PM

w800i

everything has been replaced in it at some stage... is slowly dying

Run_to_da_hills · 20-06-2008 08:14PM

I have three phones of which I chop and change sim cards with, i.e. if I am working on a site I would use a Nokia 5100 for normal use a N95 and also a 5140.

Bring back the Nokia 5110.

A friend dropped one in the toilet in the chipper after the pub one night.
I went in after him and started to piss before noticing the phone.
I finished, flushed the jacks and told him where the phone was.
He took it out of the toilet and it was working the next day.

You could drop a box of tiles on one of them fúckers and it would still work.

Jay P · 20-06-2008 09:45PM

I got mine after Crimbo this year. It's goin pretty well, and like all my phones, gets dropped a lot. And I mean A LOT!!!. In the last hour I've dropped it or seen it fall twice. It's still flying though which Im pretty happy with. It's a 6600 methinks. Its far better than my last phone a 5300 which was quite possibly the worst phone ever. A god awful phone that started breaking 2 weeks after I got it. The screen broke finally and I was told it would cost €120 to replace, even though a new 5300 would be €100. WTF?:eek:

Brouhaha · 20-06-2008 09:54PM

I thought mine was about four years old but I checked and have a text message on it from 2002! Time flies. Nokia 6310i.

My dad had one of those years ago, the thing was indestructible.

There was dust on the screen so he threw it into a tub of water.
I was playing snake on it one day and dropped it. The phone bounced of the groung and straight into the fireplace, with the fire still going. Took it out and the case was melted a little on the back. Still worked fine though.
Dropped numerous times, once or twice out of a moving car.

I've had my k800i for about 14 months now. I'm tempted to upgrade even though I don't need to.

Sherifu · 20-06-2008 10:03PM
