Trying to choose a new phone at the moment as mine had an 'untimely' death when it accidentally fell out of my hand at the mall this weekend. It is/was a Nokia 6680 which, frankly, gave me great service. Also have an iMate Qwerty which I use for work but that is a whole chapter on it's own - my advice to anybody - NEVER get an iMate phone! About as user friendly as a wounded buffalo! (For those of you who are not in Africa, that means pretty unfriendly...)
Back to my Ex-Nokia. Great phone, shitty memory but in general easy to use and tough, so can handle my 'rough ways' with mobile phones. This is the phone I've used the longest (just over two years) of all my previous ones as most of my cellulars seem to give up the ghost pretty early on in their lives. So, here I sit in front of my screen with a list of (I kid you not!) 508 phones that I can choose from on my contract... What the... How in the name of all things holy should one decide which phone is better that the next, which one will stay in fashion for longer that a mere nanosecond and which one will have a decent battery life based on a pretty picture with people running trough a field of daisies with Dalmatians playing in the background. Honestly - what does it have to do with the whole thing? Call me old fashioned - when did a phone become a camera/PDA/Video Machine/Vibrator/Sex slave etc etc...
So, here I go surfing the Internet and findin' myself a new phone. What fun! (NOT!)
Hope y'all are having a pretty day now,
TTFN
No longer in Kenya (aaah!) but still a Kenyan at heart...

Probably of no value to you, but you may want to at least check out www.phonescoop.com. it's a great place to check out features and reviews. I love my Samsung a717.
I can't remember what phone my
hubby got. He has this thing with
dropping it the minute he gets it
in hand. He doesn't do that on
purpous it just happens. The other
good thing about it is that this
new one landed in a puddle of water
in the gravel.
HUGS!!!!!!
