Title: Need a new mobile phone
Post by: trievalot on Fri, 17 December 2010, 05:09:44: rant
I broke my iPhone. my fault, cant replace the battery.
The sound no longer works.
I took it to a backyard "repairer" who called me and said i can come get it now...the sound still doesnt work, and its stuck on the apple screen. BRICK!
bad at first, then i realised when i watched other people with iPhones, they LOOK at them every 3-4 minutes for new emails etc.
I have enjoyed my Ericsson T39m for the last couple weeks so far, it has no email, good battery life and bluetooth. It looks like a kids toy and im client facing.
Basically i want a new phone, candybar style that has NO EMAIL
(if it has email, i will use it)

I really like the KDDI Talby, but Japan only.

Suggestions?? and if you have a suitable phone i would love to buy it!

That is my suggestion.

Anyway, your carrier is obviously AT&T. Go out to eBay and search for phones for your carrier, you should be able to find something. I'm with Verizon, so I can't recommend anything you can use.

There are also several nokia phones that fit your requirements. Take a look at the 2710 Navigation Edition. It's S40, so their non-smartphone platform, plus it has navigation capabilities, if you ever get lost in the outback.
