I did it again. Lost my mobile phone. It's about my third or fourth lost phone in the same number of years. That's the flipside of mobility: lose-ability! I called the phone and it rang a couple of times before it suddenly stopped so I've got a sneaking suspicion that someone else picked it up. It was a very old Nokia - my wife's old one in fact - so I'm not particularly choked. I learned after losing the other phones that I shouldn't be on the bleeding edge of mobile technology.
So now I'm trying to find a new mobile and I figure all I want is a cheap, triband phone that isn't too heavy or ugly and has a half decent battery life. That's all I need. I don't care about the gazillion other features they're putting into the phones (heresy!). I like the idea of having a phone that's.....just a phone!
For the life of me, I haven't found an easy way to discover a list of candidate phones that meet this criteria anywhere on the Internet. Even the Nokia website doesn't allow me to search for phones based on feature set. Nor do all the mobile phone shops. Argghhh.
I'm now piecing a short list together. As far as I can tell so far, the Nokia phones that support triband are 6310i, 6610, 6100, 3100, 7250i and 7210. But that ain't definitive.
