FWIW I like my phone. It does everything I want. It allows me to make
& receive phone calls and send/receive email. I use it everyday and it
just works.

Maybe you should marvel at what your phone can do and not what it
can't. Focus on the function rather than how 'cool' it is.

I still like my old Motorola timeport. With a 1600mAh battery it lasts
10 days on standby and something like 12 hours talk time.

OK, the menus are slow and old-fashioned, and switching bands when I go
to the USA is clumsy, but it works and it can't get bluejacked.

Your comment isn't worth much if you don't tell us what your phone is!

It desn't matter what it is. Not everyone will feel the same about it
as I do.

I'd almost given up looked but ended up with a Sony Ericsson V600. It's
smart but functional and understated enough not to date badly, and it does
most things reasonably well. OK so it could use a memory card slot but
no-one's perfect.

But the best bit is that I've yet to meet someone else who owns one.
