Best phone ever to be made?

linkinpark875 · 10-07-2006, 14:37

My best phone's by far have to be any model of Sony Ericsson, Nokia (for reliability), Motorola are also good.

i have to agree on the first one, any sony ericsson ive ever had has been awesome!!

in specifics tho my 5 favs of all time are

1 - sony ericsson w550i (cost and usage wise and very rare in my area)
2 - sony ericsson k700i (so much in such a small phone!!)
3 - motorola v50 (classic flip phone!)
4- nokia 5110 (a real oldy, but my first ever phone lol!!)
5 -motorola v3 black

i had sony t68i and p910i pukka phones with no software problems also my second choice would be nokias

nokia 3310, a classic, on sale for over 6 years longer than any other model and practicaly perfect in size and design.

The best mobile phone ever made is the Nokia 6310 (and i).

This is the phone that customers still want today as replacement phones. It was the last mainstream robust phone to be made.

These phones were built to seriously last.

Personally I never liked the phone, but this phone was a legend in its own right. Espically to business users.

I'm with Garyo2 The 6310i was THE connectivity phone and is still the most stable phone I@v found to use as a modem. If they could just come up with a 3G equivalent they'd have the market to themselves.

my dad agrees with the 6310 too! he has only last month got himself a pda device due to needing one for work, but has kept the 6310 for a 2nd line...he`s only had 2 of them in the last 4 years!!! wow!

My choice would have to be the Nokia 3310 I still have my original model from 6 years ago when everyone had one and it still works perfectly except the battery life has gone down hill. Extremely reliable and great for its time.

My first phone ever was a Nokia 5146 (aka 5110 and 402 i think).

chris20 · 11-07-2006, 20:43

the nokia 6630 for me

11-07-2006, 23:03

The Nokia 3310. I remember when everyone had them, they were so popular. I bought one in early 2001, and it was £99.99, and these days you can get them for next to nothing when you buy airtime with them.

lilisdad · 11-07-2006, 23:14

nokia 6230 must be up there. right size and weight. also agree 6310i was and still is a top phone. bit heavy but boy was it reliable.

Wheras the almost identical 3330 wasn't powerful for its own features - I went through 4 of them through faults alone.

The 5110 was easily the best phone around when it came out.

CoolboyA · 12-07-2006, 12:30

i feel that out of the phones i have had the best phone evr has to be the Sony Ericsson K750i. it has so many features and a Brilliant camera...which they have even improved on theirselves with the K800 and K790 (3.2MP!!!)
nokia are still draging behind.

I tried a 3330 when they came out but didn't really like it. 5110 was my first phone on Orange and it was great. At the time it was "Look fits in my hand" (just about) now its like "look its no longer then my finger"

I don't think the newer phones should count in this. The old classic phones were the best, sure technology has moved on but back in the day there wasn't camera,bluetooth, mp3 etc it was all "can i got Snake"and the phonebook being well easy to use and creating your own mon ringtones and getting logos lol

By the way im only 23 in case i sound 50 ol

Can't agree about that one.

I have one and although I love the look and feel of it, I have to keep it switched off unless I want to make a call, because it periodically turns on its backlight for no reason (even though it's closed), and drains the battery.

I rarely use a mobile, so it's I can live with it, but if I was a big mobile user it would be useless.

Several other people who've had this model say it was useless on battery life although until I pointed it out, and they checked, they weren't aware of it's backlight problem.

Well Sony Ericsson wouldnt get my vote! Had the K750i four months and the joystick doesnt work properly. Really cant be arsed to take it back as I had problems with a 6230 from the Link before and it was so much hassle its not worth it. Phones4U are probably the same.
Also, the screen scratches so easily and theres so much dust under there!

The best phone I have ever had would be the Siemens C35e. Lasted 4 1/2 years! Lovely phone.
