A Phone For A Tenner From O2
One of my Nokia 6310i’s has packed up again. So I thought I’d buy a cheap Pay-as-you-Go phone that will take my contract sim.
Three Nokia Phones
It’s the phone on the left, with the one that failed on the right. It cost me just £10 rom the O2 shop at the Angel.
Incidentally, the one in the middle had been in the drawer for something like six months. I pulled it out, fitted the sim and it worked immediately. There was even a little bit of charge left in the battery.
As the lady in the shop said, those old phones have wonderful batteries.
The Anonymous Widower 
It’s not the batteries that are special, but the much lower power required for the display and the processor to support the features of a smart phone. If a Nokia 6310i was fitted with a battery from a Samsung Galaxy Siii, then it would problably only need charging once a year!
