Downgrading my phone
My new Nokia 100.
While Apple zombies started riots in both Sydney Australia and Oberhausen Germany, throwing bottles and biting each other, I too ordered a new phone. A Nokia.
Nokia, once leading the way, now an almost-dead company. My new Nokia 100 can’t do anything special. Won’t start a conversation at birthday parties. Won’t make people jealous. Probably looks pathetic in the eyes of many. Will set me back in the pecking order by a mile. No GPS, no Apple Maps (LOL!). Won’t be stolen for sure. And if it is, it will set me back a lousy $25.
Goodbye smartphone, goodbye continuous recharging. Instead of a lousy 16 hours of standby time on average, I get 35 days (yes, thirty-five days) of standby time. Goodbye endless software updates. Goodbye apps tracking me all the time. I can call someone, someone can call me. I can text someone, and someone can text me. End of story.
Have a great weekend!
My phone is a bit more fancy, it has GPS so I don’t need a Tom Tom and it makes excellent photos.
But, it is almost 5 years old and the battery give me still at least 6 days standby.
I think I will use this Phone, a Samsung G810, 2 years longer, because it works great!
Hope that the battery lives that long…
I use a Sony Erricson already for more then 4 years. It has all the capabilities I need. And still have plenty of standby time. No fancy phones for me. 73
Still use a Nokia here must be 5 yrs or so old, like you said it does the job and no Top Dick or Harry will think of stealing it
You don’t miss using Whatsapps?
Nope. Never used it.
I want one! Retro-chic!
Great phone and great price! Too bad Nokia doesn’t sell in Canada – otherwise I’d get one for myself too. I got Chinese Huawei U2801 instead for $50 or so.
