what about a Nokia 6310? They cant cost much these days and the bloody indistructible, so perfect for work.

Its about the only type of fone i can think of that ive never managed to break, or has broke on its own.

Ideal work fone IMO

3310 or 3330 are good old favourites, reliable and robust and still a sensible size..

50quid for an old 6310 on ebay! jesus!
Thats why i dont bother with Ebay, can get stuff shitloads cheaper in real life...

Just dont get a 3210, i mustve broke about 20 of them in the past, they ALL break the same way too, signal goes, replacing the internal ariel thing does fuck all either.

You will only get a shit phone for a tenner. I have an old Nokia 6150 that I dont think I would even sell for a tenner. They are worth money.

TEMPER, that's awesome. Wouldn't mind sorting one of those out for my niece. What was the main part of the phone listed as? You know, the circuit board bit with the screen on...
