chaosmachine Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Audiovox CDM-8300 Still in good condition, nothing broken, good battery life. It's the first and only phone I've ever owned. Anyone have an older phone still in use?

Guest Idrn Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) seem to remember writing loads about this on watmm a couple of years ago. to this day an old brick of a nokia is the only phone i own which has worked for more than 2 years (and has now been working for 10). the mobile phone industry exploded, and the only way to keep this market going was to release phone technology slowly, at a trickle, thereby fully exploiting the culture of having the 'latest phone'. this is fair enough, but they also implement 'planned obsolescence'. basically, all modern mobile phones are built to break after a year or two. it's no surprise that everything is 'handset upgrade' based contracts now too - they help keep this consumption of 'disposable' handsets afloat. its pure wastegash business that is bad for the environment and doomed in the long run.

Guest aron Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 the only reason i ever stopped cellphone-ing was because the battery ran out and the company (motorolla, i believe) didnt make the chargers for it anymore. that was like 6 years ago and the phone was looking pretty oldschool by then too.. i still have the phone and it still works except for dead battery.

Braintree Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 My current phone is a couple years old now. A samsung something or other. I used to have a Motorola with really shitty reception, so I don't use it. I still have it somewhere, though.

Guest Super lurker ultra V12 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 My father has somewhere a nokia bought in 1998. He doesn't use it now, but, even if the antenna is a screw, it works perfectly. In 2002/3 my parents bought me this: then in 2004 I bought a nokia n-gage, which died three years ago (now it's fixed). From 2006 to August 2007 I used my Panasonic, then I lost it on a bus. Since then, I'm using this: I hate it.
