Default Think my phone's knackered...

Got a Nokia 8310

But today it started locking up to the point where i have to remove battery to get it back on again or will randomly just turn on and off when it feels like it.

Any idea's whats up with it?

Try removing the battery when the phone is turned on, it's call a soft reboot It may be a software issue and the reboot may sort it out
If not then ya fones fooked
