Has anyone used this phone? Or anyone using any other, old fashioned buttoned one?
Now whatsapp is available, I'd like to go back to it. And this one looks like the best option.
By the way, when I was looking for rugged phones, I have 'met' a laptop called "Dell Rugged Extreme". Lololol :eek:
"Those Japs make great phones, don't they."
Which ones are Japanese? I didn't get the joke.
My cell phone expert says, get the most expensive "tough case" that fits your phone. All the cell phones themselves are inherently fragile (a recent "oops" advert is cringeworthy).

No Kia means no Korean.
My cell phone expert used to repair cell phones for a living. Even he managed to dump his smart phone into the toilet at work ;-)

QuoteWhat does Nokia mean?
The origin of the name Nokia is obscure. In modern Finnish, noki means soot and nokia is its inflected plural, although this form of the word is rarely if ever used. The most common theory claims the name actually originates from the archaic Finnish word nois (pl. nokia) or nokinäätä ("soot marten"), meaning sable .After sable was hunted to extinction in Finland, the word was applied to any dark-coated fur animal, such as the marten, which are found in the area to this day. The sable is enshrined on the Nokia coat of arms. However, later research has appeared to indicate that sables never inhabited Finland in the first place, and the name nois may actually refer to the beaver.[7]

I refuse to give up my old style flip phone. I don't need the CCP staring up my ass while I potty.

Second best quotable in the movie. First is when the son drives away in a POS Camaro, with lots of smoke.
MOM: You are such a cheap bastard.
DAD: It's his first car, it's supposed to be like that.
The first Transformer movie was worth watching. As sequels kept coming I wanted the franchise to die, not for my sake, but for the sake of the franchise.

Yeah, the first one was the least cartoony.
