oldest running phone?

[gagakango]

I'm just checking to see who is still sporting an old phone? As in still using it as a phone not just on Wi-Fi or as a music player.

Cool topic idea :thumbup:

Agree'd
Its certainly not me. My young nephew has always been a phone geek so he inherited all my retirees
(11yr old, has two nexus) *proud*

I was digging out my old phones last week!

Some chargers are missing, but I have working:

Sony Ericsson K800i, W890i

Siemens C45

Motorola V600.

It's cool transferring old tones & pics from them!

Still have my Motorola razr v3m on AT&T that I still use when going out of town (where sprint doesn't get service) still love that phone after all these years.

I had a V3 (got stolen ).

I wish they'd update these old classics with at least 3g & 5mp camera!

My N95 8GB was still working last time I tried. I've used it for navigation when driving abroad as it has a (now very dated) version of Route 66 on it which has in-built maps and on-board route calculation so doesn't use any data.

My friend was, up until very recently, using my old Moto Rizr Z6tv. That thing is a tank and will probably never die. One of the better phones I had back in the day.

The only reason she stopped using it is because she wanted a better camera/easier texting/touch screen phone so she got off my family plan (yay!) and went with a TracFone LG840G.

there's a few people in Howard Forums with active StarTACs...in 2009 I still had an active Nokia 5185i, but with a horrible battery life since it was so dated.

Nokia 3120 classic for sms and calls. I use it as my other phone with a number I want to share with strangers... at work.

I used a HTC G1 at 5 years old for calls/texts last weekend after bricking my HTC One for a day.
