My cell phone is 7 years old.

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?

thats idm

Some big fuck off Ericcson thingy that my mum bought in 99.

i can record conversations with my phone

lol

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.

i dropped my iphone in the toilet and now i don't have an iphone.

my brother gave me his cellphone in 2002 and i still have it

dont know how long he had his before he gave it to me

the last "modern" phone i had was three years ago. i was a z1010. i was drunk and i left it in a taxi car. since then i've been using my old nokias until they all broke down. now i have

from my sister. it's ok.

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.

i had a nokia 6110 for something like 7 years. i am sure it would still work hadn't i fallen and broken the screen on it. best phone i ever had and probably the best one nokia ever did.

now i have a nokia 3510 and it's a robust fucker. took a swim with it too, just changed the battery and it still works.

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.

i have an up to date model. i'm so uncool.

phillips diga 1997 - i still have it and it still works, its not my main phone but the phone i use as backup

ive got one of these old school nokias, pretty much unbreakable

the mobile network i'm on doesn't allow its sim cards to be used in any other phones, so basically i'm restricted to their crappy 3g phones that start to develop strange intermittent bugs after about a year. fml

I was rocking this shit for the longest time:

A dude at a bar referred to it as "the oldest cell phone ever made".

thats my bitch!

You have to treat me to dinner and a movie before you can make me your bitch. :fee:

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.

Seriously? surely it doesn't work anymore since they made the transition from analogue to digital networks way back when, or was this just after that (just realized that 7 years ago, it was only 2002)

it's hybrid. does analog and digital (cdma). and there's still lots of analog-only coverage areas here in canada.
