Oops, I forgot to mention one requirement, in the middle of all the I-Dont-Need:
I want it to flash a light if I miss a call or text.

If you can find one brand new I'd get one of these, so good I got two of them

Phone recommendations
OK, I do try to keep a phone until it doesn't work any more, saving my gadget salivating for other stuff. But I might need to get a new phone soon. I'd appreciate any recommendations that fit the bill:
I use it for calls and text, mainly.
I don't play games.
I might use the calendar/tasks functions but I'm not very demanding of their functionality.
I'm not much bothered about the camera, I always carry a real camera.
I'd use it to listen to music occasionally, but only if that doesn't hammer the battery and kill the phone before nightfall. And I'm not interested in online listening or buying, I make MP3 files from my CDs and copy them to a memory card.
I don't think I'd like to watch movies on any scree that would fit in a pocket. Just a personal preference.
I wouldn't use the internet on it much because I spend most of my time outside the UK, but the phone company will definitely be UK (prob O2). I have other arrangements for email and browsing, and do not want to pay roaming data charges.
I am prepared to allow that I might not appreciate in advance all that a smarter phone might do for me. But the "usually no internet" is pretty much a given, and ISTM that that kills a lot of what a smart phone is for.
Hmm. Do I actually need a phone?Last edited by Ignis Fatuus; 20 April 2011, 07:25.Tags: None
