Hi again underscorers...
Can anyone recommend a good mobile phone, the conversation usually
comes up here every now and again, so I figure someone will know
the sort of thing that would suit. I need the following features:
1) can make calls - reliably
2) can receive calls - reliably
3) can send text messages - reliably
4) can recv text messages - reliably
5) Compatibility with gnokii or some easy to install FreeBSD app.
(reliably compatible!)
It would also be nice to have: reliable 3G and a good reliable
camera too.
BUT... I've had a Nokia N70 since a few weeks after they came out
and it's been no end of trouble. It's also with Orange, and they
don't seem to be quite as good as they used to be either.
I would rather have a non "smart" (which seems to mean stupid things
that break) phone, and I'm not even going to consider anything
running symbian or anything that has been touched by Microsoft!
Thanks folks,
Steve Roome
