Me, i've never owned a Nokia in my life and just find them annoying tbh.

You young wipper snapper - 'twas second year of college before I got mine - when One2One launched there pre-pay plan where you only had to top up once a year (I didn't want to pay £15 a month I might never use!). Oh and I forgot - only Cellnet had any coverage (and that was patchy at best) between Preston and Leyland - which meant most of us couldn't use them for most of the journey either! Ah the good old Motorola M3788 and it's ability to use 4 AA Cells as a backup (which would last a hour (standby) at best)

They seem to actually be doing the opposite of the signs - I've seen more chavs using them since the signs went up (sometime after xmas) than since I moved to Nottingham the best part of seven years ago. I use the headphones on mine - I think we need to retaliate and start banging Saga 106.6 out of the speakers of our phones
Mind you - I've also seen old people from Bridgford listening to Radio 4 LW on speaker radios before - then they have the nerve to whinge at the kids banging out Hip Hop a few weeks later
As for old phones - the Sony J70e is still my old faithful backup handset - it's weird putting my T-Mobile SIM card in and seeing "One2One" though. If a phone has a colour screen and/or knows about 02 or T-Mobile it can't be called retro!
