I'm getting a new mobile phone, and this time I'm afraid it won't be a Nokia. The display on my old 8210 started getting scrambled, then I could only see anything on it if I pressed hard on the top part of the handset, and now it's just died. I have a 6150 that the company I used to work with just left me when it went bust (along with a few months' worth of salary as severance pay), and now it's on its "I'll work if you punch my top" phase. Apparently it's a very common fault in certain models by Nokia, and the company itself has aknowledged it but tried to play the problem down.
I started looking around eBay and I might get a cheap second hand Ericsson t28s - I've always liked the design, and I usually go for small handsets. Quite excited about the bidding, surprisingly it's the first time I buy something there (in the past I was always put off by the extremely unreliable Italian post system, where a letter can take anything from one day to over a week to make its journey across the country).

I love my trusty T28. It's served me well, although I had to exchange the first one I got because it didn't work properly after a month.

Yeah, go Sweden go - Although the display on my Finnish Nokia 6150 suddenly came alive again. I think it felt its time had come and it's desperately trying to avoid being chucked in the bin.
