I really didn’t too much about care until I got my very first phone in late 2003. That phone was given to me; I didn’t want it even then. That was a 3590 model. Even the previous generation of these was really good. The menu interface was a lot more easier to use and the phone itself very reliable with decent battery life.
One little bump and most electronic things tend to go bang that instant, usually for the final time. But the best thing about Nokias is that they’re the toughest phones out there.
I was talking to someone who recently visited India and told of how the Nokia brand is the phone of choice of everyone there from rickshaw drivers to jutts in the khet(farmers). Technology as complicated as phones doesn’t tend to last very long in places like India, usually it’s a problem to get electronics properly working in the first place. He told me of how his phone was accidentally thrown in a pool of water and it worked fine after the water was dried.
Besides these phones being super tough, they also have the best buttons which never lock up or get mis-pressed. A nokia usually doenst have an antenna sticking out like your usual phone. That’s good news because on most phones the antenna’s fragile and breaks off with ease and that’s the end of your phone right there. The Motorola/LG as with other flip phones are notorious for this.
The other great thing is the nokia menu system design which is straightforward and super easy to use. All the selections are logical and easy to access, not confusing like other phones. It’s the one interface that can truly be considered user-friendly because it’s more customizable than anything I’ve seen.
The 3590 is one tough phone I had this one for over 20 months until the old plan came to and end and the company offered to give a new one for free. I’ve lost count of how many times this phone’s endured freefalls as high as 2 meters onto hard cement floors at work. I’m sure it ranges in the high hundreds. It hasn’t turned off from a plunge even one time.
The reception on this thing is better than most on field tests. Two times from Vancouver to California. A few times to Victoria on the Island and once to Prince George a few months ago. And It out preformed all others. Hardeep Singh’s Trio($100+plan) stopped working pretty much north of Harrison Hotsprings I don’t think mine lost reception the whole way there and back. Same story on the California trips.
The best thing about it is you can easily call any number without actually looking at the keypad and display when dialing. This comes in hady in certain situations as you can imagine. You can’t do that with any phones these days. I really didn’t mind the size it was compact yet large enough to be handled as a cordless phone. It’s quite light as well. I never realized it had voice dialing till today when I looked at the site.
^The 3590 on the left and 3120 on the right
Last summer upon renewing the plan Rogers gave me the smaller 3120 version. This one has a color screen with a host of other improvements on the already decent features the older/much bigger brother. The only thing is it has sometimes fallen apart due to a comparatively less stronger locking mechanism its predecessor had. But the amazing thing was the battery was still intact and the display lit!
This one comes with an improved calculator and a great stopwatch function. Both this and the old one had an excellent calendar with a reminder/alarm option. But this has a color display. For anyone who likes to play games its no secret nokia includes the best games on earth.
See your dealer today and get your hands on one of these.
