Nokia 6310 Phone Back to the Future?

Not everyone wants the latest and greatest gadgets – some of us just want a digital camera to take photos, a computer to run software and a phone to make calls and text messages. Every few months there seems to be a new cell phone which combines camera, GPS, web browser, email, MP3 player and TV viewer! However if you want a well designed phone which has stood the test of time and easily allows you to make calls and send messages the Nokia 6310 is worth a look.

A cottage industry has developed as EBay sellers refurbish the used Nokia’s which were introduced in 2001 and stopped manufacture in 2004. The “old” phone is gaining a reputation as a design icon which includes one of the earliest implementations of blue tooth technology so you can synchronize your phone book with your laptop. The Nokia 6310 will also allow you to send SMS and pictures messages, offers a choice or ring tones and simple GPRS web browsing . But if you just want to make calls and send and receive text messages you could do a lot worse than the classic Nokia 6310
