I just got a new (to me) phone Wednesday afternoon. It's so cool! It's a Motorola v.60i (T) clamshell phone.
No, it's not colour.
No, it's not GSM.
No, it doesn't have a web browser.
No, it doesn't have polyphonic or MP3 ringtones. And
no, it can't go in the kitchen and make me a sandwich, either. (On that point, I
do envy some of you people! :razz:
But here's what it
can do: It can store up to 500 numbers and emails (I currently have 95 stored), has Voice Dial, has a datebook, does SMS text messaging, can play customized ringtones, has programmable menu shortcuts, has a full-function calculator, and three games (Blackjack, Falling Numbers (my favourite), and Video Poker), and can record up to two minutes of Voice Notes.
Very much like the v.120 i used to have, but it seems to get a better signal, it's smaller (when closed), and has easier-to-push buttons, an extendable antenna, and a blue screen instead of green.
I found it on eBay and only paid $40 (about $60 NZ, Can, Aus; £30 UK), including shipping. It belonged to a man in Alabama who had a lot of medical centre numbers programmed into it. I don't know if he was a doctor or what, but it had over 200 hours on it when I got it. Even still, it's in really good shape for the use it's had.
I love it, and I can't stop playing Falling Numbers on it! I think it would be cool if they came out with a Falling Letters, too, where you push the number that has the letter on it, e.g. "6" for either M, N, or O. But anyway, that's my new great phone.
Here's a pic on the Internet of an almost identical phone:
By the way, my service is with AT&T (now part of Cingular (which is no use to me)), which has been improving lately. I used to hate them, tho, and that's part of why I needed a new phone. (I tore my old one up getting mad at it. :x )
