TTTWOT - The 6310i lives again?
 

Look out peeps, an (enhanced) 6310 is about to hit the European
(and UK) market.

Originally intended for Africa and Asia the Nokia 101 is a simple
phone largely driven by icons (for those that cannot read -
should suit the UK perfectly,) has FM radio, mp3 (on micro SD
card up to 16Gb,) and - this is the best bit - a talktime of 8.5
hours and a standby time of 32 days!! It will also take two SIMs
simultaneously. It does not have a touch screen and the radio
or mp3 can be played through the speaker.

It does NOT have a camera, 3G, or wi-fi but does use Edge.

Price? in Europe it will be E25 (£22) without contract - I hate
to think how high they will manage to push it up over here but
I might just buy one if I can find any colour other than PINK!

Yay! I'll almost certainly buy one. I loved my old 6310i (had to hand
it in when I left BT), but I've just bought an as-new refurb from eBay.

Very pleased with it - just as good as I remember. It's a great
implementation of "just what you need, and nothing more", and was
advanced for its time (e.g. voice dialling, Bluetooth). Plus an
enormous standby time by modern standards - well over a week.

I'm a bit of a nerd about phones, I think. I also have a Palm Treo 680
(one of the first "smart" phones) and also a classic, and the Motorola
PEBL, which is dead clever because it's one of the very few clamshell
phones you can open with just one hand. It also has good functionality
- another example of what-you-need-and-no-more.

Of course I've had to buy an Android phone to see what all the fuss is
about. The Orange San Francisco (aka ZTE Blade) is great value for
money. I rooted and zapped it as soon as I bought it, and installed a
plain Android 2.2 build.

So, Woody, where can I read about the new Nokia 101?

Sorry, I should have Googled first. The 100 looks even more "elegant
in its simplicity". Only one SIM, no music player, no memory
expansion, no MP3 ring tones, BUT a claimed standby of up to 840 hours.

Oh, poop! Neither support Bluetooth. Quite a set back, that is. It's
handy to be able to use a Bluetooth headset.

Anyway, apart from that they look pretty cool.

The Sony Ericsson Elm I bought earlier this year is great for battery life.
I don't use it that much for calls, but I get about a fortnight out of a
charge

Is this capable of running Talks or other software like that?

These two facts are not unconnected.
