Best Non Smartphone?
My OHs Nokia 5800 (I think that's the model number - it's the express music model and she texts using a stylus) is beginning to show signs of imminent demise.
I showed her my HTC but she isn't interested in any of the smartphone features. So it's a non-smartphone for her - anyone recommend one? |

What smartphone features is she not interested in that the 5800 does not have?
![]() The only one I can think of is that it is a candy bar form factor with a smaller screen than is the modern trend which makes it easier to slip in the trouser pocket. |

She isn't interested in email, google maps, web browsing etc. she says the screens are just too small. She's not interested either in Android apps - games etc. She has an Android tablet for all that.
She wants to call, text and take the occasional picture. As far as I know 95% of her use is texting. I know when I call her she never answers as the bloody thing is at the bottom of her handbag. |

I use my 5800 to do all of those things. What about another 5800 or possibly an X6?

If she cares about texting, how about a Nokia E-Series

I'm actually moving away from Android because my smartphone is becoming unbearable to use--I won't bore you with the details, but random reboots, taking 30 seconds to load the 'phone' app to make a call and a half-day battery life meaning I have to carry a power brick around everywhere are getting me down. I definitely want to rejoin the Nokia camp now that money's not so tight--they've always made decent devices with good, intuitive user interfaces, whereas Android seems to have more features than you can deal with buried in a zillion menus. It's like using the world's most complicated computer, only you're standing in a freezing street trying to get a map out of the thing. |

I think your view is a tad coloured by the fact that you have a duff phone.....However, enjoy your new purchase, whatever it be..
