When Nokia’s are built they are built to last, this is official. After a recent debarkell with my trendy, tiny, camera wielding, slide phone, I was forced to dig through the kitchen’s odds and sods draw to find my pre-historic wonder.
Larger than a brick and baring many battle scares, I pressed the big red button of power and even though in its seventh year (in human years making it almost as old as Bruce Forthsight) the old familiar, sweet sound rang through the air as the beast breathed back to life. Its cracked screen from an unfortunate crushing accident, large dint from surviving a 30 foot drop from a window and many scraps due to my physical incapacity to be coordinated only added to the charm of the thing. Not flashy by any degree, apart from its ability to connect via Bluetooth and not infer-red (very high-tech!!!), the old shire horse has proved itself to be far more reliable than its stunning Through Bred counterpart.
So he is my advice to you, don’t be fooled by seductive gimmicks which are guaranteed to last about as long as Gordon Brown in Government, go for good, old fashioned simplicity. After all you never know when you’ll be deserted on some country road in the middle of a snow storm or trapped halfway down a ravine, clinging to a ledge by your finger nails… because trust me your ugly old friend will never let you down!
