This seems like a useful site if you're looking for a new phone:

It shows the power of the iPhone that people are scrambling to make phones that look something like it.

[Simon]

Well, it's a trend like so many others.  I expect one day, we'll see the return of great big buttons.

Handy for those with poor eyesight or big, clumsy, fingers.

[Simon]

I sometimes wish I had a phone with buttons, but the trouble is, the buttons are too small on anything but the most basic models.

[Rik]

Let's go back to the bricks.

[Simon]

My first one was one of these...

[Rik]

My first was the Orange Nokia 5.1...

[Simon]

I think that's the one Clive's still got!

From there, I went to Motorola flips, the mr601 and then the mr602, after that it's a blur of Nokia and Sony, currently we're on Nokia 6301s. The trouble is, so are our friends, which can get difficult.

[Simon]

I can't remember all the ones I've had either.  Nokia 6310i was one, and that's still a brilliant phone, if you don't want the bells and whistles, but great call quality, and a solid build.  I then went to SEs, and had the K700, K750, K850, then they weren't so good after that, so after flitting about a bit with other Nokias, I ended up with the BlackBerry.

[Rik]

The 6310 was a classic - look how long they kept it running.

[Simon]

You can still buy them new off eBay.  I think they are just perfect, if all you want is a phone.

[Rik]

They are. Great design, solid build, does the job.
