are you that kind of persons who are addicted to cellphones? those persons who want to buy every new model of cellphones in the market? I am not fond of cellphones and I do not care if my cellphone model is so outdated because what is important to me is I can send text messages, I can call, I can use the flashlight and alarm clock and most especially the calendar, that is all that matters to me. I know I sound so boring but I am not a cellphone addict just like other people. Well, if you remember N3310 is stronger than iphones, android phones, smart phones or whatever.

I am still wondering why people always buy whatever comes in the market. I am not like that. I just want a phone through which I can talk and text. I need nothing more than that. I also have aversion to smartphones. My contract is to be renewed this year and I am eligible for a new phone. But the store has only smartphones for those who wish to be in contract. All cellphones are prepaid. I am so much in a difficult position now. I have been using Katalyst for about 4 years now. It is still running strong despite the fact that it has some scratches here and there.

Oh, I'm not one also. I would like to buy a good smart phone but one is enough. My phone isn't a smart phone yet but I can access the internet, log in to Facebook and Twitter, etc. Those are useless though because I seldom use my phone nowadays. I just use it to receive calls and text messages. I had Nokia 3310 too. Before buying my last phone last year, N3310 was my phone. LOL. I gave my old phone to my mom. When my phone had a problem with its trackpad, I regretted buying it. LOL. I told myself that my 3310 was still better than it. I'm glad I got it fixed already.

I also had that N3310 before. Unfortunately, I had to give it up when I had no money to pay my nanny!
Anyway, I like to use a cellphone because I wanted to be always connected with my family. The model or make doesn't really matter much.

Are you my clon?
Haha, just joking. We are similar.
My phone's exactly like yours. It's Nokia, but i don't know what series.
It's enough to make calls and SMS.
And i like the fact it got flashlight on it.
I also don't understand people's fascination to phone, that they want to have more than one, and smartphones at that.
Here's a story. Once, i accidentally dropped it into the toilet. I managed to recovered it somehow, cleaned it, and even sprayed it with perfume.
And it continue functioning. haha. hope you don't feel like gagging.

do you have 3310? i still have it in my house, my mother use it and still very good function. It's only for call, and send text messages only.
But for me i used android phone because much more veru usefull application that i can download and using it for free not even trial function too.
any version of android phone is great no need to buy every new version of android because we will spent lots of money if want followed the trend.
two thumbs for you who knows how to use tchnology not just buy only for life style but didnt use more function than usual.

Yes,every people have different choices.But i am not a cell phone addict.But i used to.I bought a cell phone which was first cell phone in my family.Then i sold it and bought another one.I used to buy only on the basis of interesting features which i wanted in my cell phone like alarm clock,bluetooth,wifi etc.
But now i am satisfied with only one cell phone and i am also not planning to buy a new one in future.

Hi valorieesquilona, I'm an immaterial person as well. I always get items that are practical in use only. I certainly don't waste money on stuffs just for pursuing trendiness. I'm happy with the phone I have got currently. I rarely chat on my phone with friends. It's solely an important device for me to keep in touch with my loved ones who work in outstations.
Unlike others whom I know, like spending lots of time playing games on the smartphone. They indulge in this even having meal with their family or friends in restaurant It's discourteous to do so. Seems that the gathering lack of mutual communication.
I had bought a N3310 for my younger brother the time I attended my on the job training in Taiwan. It worked well and was durable as well
Happy posting

That is a personal preference. A co - worker of mine who doesn't need those fancy phones, like Android and iPhone those hot hit phones, no matter how we advise him to get a new one, especially he signed a contract with one of those big 4s service providers, he will get one, he just against our advises. Maybe he doesn't need those phones in person, all he needs just something basic and simple.

I feel the same. I just received a smartphone from my parents, which I haven't even asked for. I'm really glad because now I can use Instagram :D, but I wouldn't have bought one myself, it seems a waste of money, unless you have a work where you have to have access to Internet and apps on the go. I don't even understand kids wanting iPhones... let alone people dropping their phones every half year or year just because a cooler model came out. A phone should be okay for texting, calling, showing the time and that's all.

I rarely talk on the phone. I have a pre-paid tracfone just to carry around for emergencies like if my car breaks down. I have Aspergers so I guess that's part of the reason I don't like chatting if it isn't very important. I never even look at what new models are out there.
I used to text a lot though years ago, but I moved and don't know any people here but my parents.
