PeteH Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I alway`s liked that range of Nokia`s, they where pretty much "bomb proof". Mine got dropped from the cab to the deck several times, and survived being sat on, and thrown. (dont ask!) Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete I had a 6230i (I think) which a metal case rather than plastic, then killed it one night after a totally horrendous day at work, following a succession of telephone calls where the people I was calling for assistance wouldn't help at all. I bounced it off the wall from about ten feet away. It left a sizeable mark on the wall, too. I didn't have the anger management app installed.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Throwing?. After I retired early, I used my LGV during the summers as a Agency driver, it paid for the Diesel for the R-V and travel to Spain in a Winter. Busy day on multidrop (not my favourite) Last drop back to the yard, call from scheduler, Can you "just", go back (20 miles, 5 pm in commuter traffic), and pick up a collection. The firm had phoned it in as I was turning in their yard, by the time they phoned, and I get the message I was almost halfway to knocking off!!. Near shattered the passenger door window!!. Before Mobiles, I could have been back in the yard clocked off and on my way home!. As it was I got a very late tea.😡 Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 All this tech you need and pay for, to make life "easier" (because they have made our lives complicated and reliant on their tech). I'm not generally a conspiracy theorist (though maybe more now). just seems different than buying "square deal surf", to put in your basic washing machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be years ago 😱 Paul Not that many years ago, that looks like a Nokia 6310i, or possibly the predecessor. The greatest mobile phone ever made. 10 days minimum standby, and gets a signal when all around it fails. Lots still in use, I have a few spares just in case.

Badwolf Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I don't have a problem with mobile phones. Just use that button the manufacturers have provided. It's marked OFF. Mind you, I am still using credit that I put in about 3 years ago. I was once asked about my annual usage. When I told them about £5 a year, they though that I meant £5 a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 The Vitesse 1600/6 after Jan 66 and the Mk1 Vitesse are the same layout!

I made contact with Mick Dolphin last night and he is having a look today. Do you have one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334359504699?hash=item4dd961273b:g:VV0AAOSwGnRiKmKw Two for sale in Liverpool with a lot of other Heraldy bits; they actually look quite good.

Photo to confirm... and in case anyone queries they are both the same size, it's just one of them there optical delusions... but if anyone else is interested there's some good stuff there for the money.
