Old Mobile Phones Never Die
I use the legendary Nokia 6310i, which I got in early 2003. It has been all over the world with me and has been dropped so many times that it is probably the world’s most battered phone in daily use. It’s also still on the original battery and that lasts a whole week away.
I’ve got a new spare ready for when this one finally fades away.
Incidentally, I’m in the technology business having written software for 45 years, and feel that we spend too much time putting useless bells and whistles on to things that work well. It would be better to use all that effort to create new applications and systems.
This picture shows the phone in Naples.

This was actually taken at the Meridian Line. Note the time on the phone and the spot of sunlight showing it is midday.
