Found an old Nokia phone, going to try it for a week just to experiment

I think you will miss angry birds.

Who needs angry birds when you can play snake.

Well at least the battery's gonna last the week which it wouldn't on an iPhone

i still have an 8290 and 9690i as backups, well did, since i recently switched to verizon.

Was this phone on TDMA? Is it even still usable on the network? This would be cool to do as an experiment nonetheless...

I've often questioned myself about where I'd be today without an iPhone.

My first phone was the one with an antenna, I was a senior. Then I upgraded to a Motorola (I believe) juke box phone which looked like the NGage. Then I upgraded to the Razr, and then Samsung Blackjack. I returned from my 15 month deployment and wanted a Black Berry but then learned about the iPhone 3GS that just released a few months before I came home and that is the phone I got myself and my wife. We've then upgraded to the 4, 4S (just myself), and then 5 (my wife).

I used my brothers Android phone last year while he was in ICU and I was on emergency leave, I used it for a month and I did like some features of it such as Widgets, but didn't like the App Store very much and how fast it died.

One of my coworkers uses a Black Berry phone and I asked him why he doesn't get an iPhone and he said he's happy with just texting, I don't get it since he pays the same monthly amount I do. But to each their own. I wouldn't mind switching but I already know I'd hate it.

You will miss whatsapp, messages, facebook, twitter, browsing the web and typing a message will be almost impossible.

Was going through my drawer and I found this phone (pic below). It just blows my mind how far we've come. I thought hey, I'm glued to my cell phone 5-8 hours a day. Sometimes even 10-12. Why don't I try this Nokia for a week and see what I discover outside if my cell phone?

What do y'all think

I did this experiment when I switched from Verizon to At&t while I waited or the iP5 and the results were amazing... I pay little attention to the phone, no games, texting, netflix, email, I didn't even want to use the phone at all, I only used the phone when I need it to call my wife or something.

I still have my Motorola V3 Razr. Man I thought I was so cool.

So you spent 3hrs on it without testing for a network first?

Really?

after owning a total of 88 cell phones in my life, of all breeds and mostly nokia, i couldve given you a better old school series 40 nokia to buy besides that beast.

Interesting experiment. I've thought of trying something like this during the summer but never got around to it. Maybe I'll dig up my old Razr after exams

I think why do you think we care.

Have fun with your old phone.

Can't wait to see how the OP loves his life without the iPhone.

How long will you last!

Send me the iPhone for the week...

I don't think you'll miss it as much as you expect. You'll enjoy the extra time you have.

You guys make me feel old... Talking about the razor being an old phone.

I remember before the star tac come out. It was them" next big thing " in cell phones

The year was 1996.

My first cell phone was in 1993...

Yea I know I'm old.

my first phone -
nokia 101 1995 i think

my current phone -
iPhone 5

many phones in between,
can't imagine why anyone would want not to have all that is available in one device, however, it would be extremely funny to be getting around the city with an old "brick" talking on it and seeing who noticed

Those Nokia phones are cool. Wish I used those instead of the Samsung/lg/etc dumbphones that I used before the iPhone.
