The Cell Phone Blues

I seem to be unfortunate when it comes to cell phones.  I have a hard time finding one that I like and they don’t seem to last long . . . well, except for my old Nokia.

I’ve had an old Nokia 3220 for years.  To date, it has been my favorite phone.  I never had any troubles out of it until my husband accidentally dropped it in water.  In the meantime, I used my husband’s old Nokia 3220 (just like mine) until my hubby got me a different phone.  My husband bought me a used chocolate brown Nokia 6260.  Come to find out, it was used in another country and I had an awful time trying to figure out how to use the thing.  I basically just used it to make and receive calls.  lol

One day the chocolate Nokia locked up.  And I mean completely locked up.  Suncom couldn’t even my phone numbers off of it.  I had to completely start over with no phone numbers.  (BTW, if you’re reading this and you haven’t heard from me in a long time, that’s why.  ;)  )  While my husband was searching for a new phone for me, I went back to using the same old Nokia 3220. 

Hubby eventually found a brand new Motorola Razor for me online.  It was a small fraction of the price that Suncom wanted for the same phone.  I have to admit, I’ve not been real fond of that phone either.  It really, really hurts my neck when I make calls and multi-task.  And lately, I’ve had problems with it locking up.  I’ve had to take out the battery and restart it several times.  I haven’t even had it for a year!!!!!!!

Today my Motorola locked up . . . possibly for good.  I tried numerous times to restart my phone.  Every now and then I would hear it make some noises like it was starting up, but nothing ever came over the screen.  I began to panic because I didn’t know what I was going to do.  I certainly didn’t want to fork out the money for a new phone and I needed one right away.  Then I remembered about my old faithful Nokia.  I put in my sim card and it works great.

What do you think?  Should I keep my old phone?  Is there a phone that’s durable that you would recommend?
