The Best Mobile You Owned is ?
Discussion
In terms of what it can do and the level of technology, my current Blackberry Passport is streets ahead of anything else I've had, such as the Galaxy S3 or the iPhone 5S we have as work phones. The iPhone I cannot get along with at all and as a work phone it's less than useless.
However my all time favourite is the Nokia 6310i. It felt solid, well engineered and was bombproof. And although many people don't seem to mind having to charge their phones constantly I think back fondly to the days when I only needed to top it up once or twice a week and never once thought about taking a charger if I went away for the weekend. It was a mobile phone - a phone that you could take with you that didn't need to frequently connected to the mains in order to work. Modern phones are only mobile for a very short period.

When Armageddon comes, the only things to survive will be cockroaches and Ericsson GH688s.
I loved my GA628. I had all the extra accessories. Like flashing aerial (remember them!). A vibrate pack that clipped on the bottom and most important a modem.
I remember being on holiday with a laptop and my GA628 surfing the 'net at a blistering speed of 9600 baud!

Lumia 1020. Great phone, great os, amazing amazing camera. I can only fault it with the fact that Nokia cut costs on the CPU. When I wear out the 1020 I go buy another on eBay.
Ditto, and it's sad that there's nothing in the pipeline to replace it. Think I'll just keep the one I have until it dies.
An Ericsson R320s... absolutely loved it - coming to this from a Nokia 3210 was such a step up it was crazy.
Primarily the fact that it stored SMS text messages on its (gasp) internal memory! No more 10 or 15 SMS limit. (However, what I suspect it did was automatically delete the oldest SMS from your SIM card automatically, allowing new ones to always get through. If you wanted to 'save' a SMS, you had to manually do so. That either flagged it on the card as "do not delete" or it actually did maintain a memory for SMS messages, and only write 'saved' messages to the card itself.)
It was also wafer thin - I think it was about 8mm at its thinnest point which for 2001 was pretty good going!
I loved that phone, sold it to a friend for pennies when I upgraded to (from memory an Ericsson T68) but always missed it.

Orange SPV C500 - Smart Phone before smart phones existed. Windows phone. Could play MP3's, video's, web browser, extended memory, high res screen. Game changer. Absolutely loved this.
Still got mine somewhere! Cracking phone, the only problem was that if you had to shut it down for any reason, you could measure its boot up time in ice ages!
t crazy for considering a Blackberry Bold 9900 right now ?
