Ewan at www.smstextnews.com posted recently about keeping your phone history. So I gave it a go and it makes for some interesting reading. Please forgive me if the order is a bit awry. I haven't included phones that I bought for testing purposes and didn't use on a day to day basis.
As you can see I'm pretty much a Nokia man through and through. I have also desperately tried to make Windows Mobile work for me, I really, really wanted it to work but finally gave up and got a BlackBerry.
- Nokia 101
 - Nokia 6110
 - Nokia 6120
 - Nokia 8110 (pure class for those 'Matrix' moments)
 - Nokia 7110 (ah the dawn of WAP)
 - Sony Ericsson T39
 - Nokia 6310 (best phone in the world ever)
 - Sony Ericsson T68i
 - Nokia 7650
 - Nokia 6210
 - Nokia 6230 (interspursed around the following)
 - Orange SPV Classic
 - Orange SPV E100
 - Motorola V500 (my one and only clamshell)
 - Sony Ericsson V800 (made one video call, once)
 - Vodafone 3G Data Card
 - O2 XDA
 - i-Mate Jas-Jar (that's it, no more Windows Mobile devices)
 - Nokia 7250i (loan)
 - Sony Ericsson K800i (finally replaced the 6230)
 - Blackberry 8707v (shame I broke it)
 - Blackberry 7130v (loan)
 
I'm a phone manufacturers dream!
...and where do all these redunant 'phones go to when they die? The great mobile device graveyard? Seriously though, perhaps you have thought of sending them to a charity that can either pass them on to those who can still put them to good use or at the very least re-cycle them.
ReplyDeleteTypical resting places are other members of the company, company loan/test phone pool, charity shops, friends or recycling. You can be reassured that landfill is not my preferred option.
