What a coincidence, today, several years after using several high end, cutting edge smart phones of many kinds (Symbian/RIM/Android), I simply took my SIM card and insert it into an old Nokia 3110c ( http://www.google.com/images?q=nokia%203110 ), I have found in my drawer.

It just a lightweight phone which easy to use as a phone (dial, read/write text messages).

Let us face it. Anywhere I am (home or office) I have at least 4 different ways to connect to the web and waste my time over there [;-)].

Until about five months ago, I had been using the legendary Motorola F3 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_FONE_F3 ) for something like two years. Amazing phone, just the absolute basics: even SMS messaging was somewhat difficult. Due to it's e-ink display the battery lasts almost a week. It was a great conversation piece too.

Actually, it was for this reason that I moved on to a blackberry, I was constantly spending time checking my email. Naturally, by the time you open your browser you go on to check other things etc etc. Now I write (personal) emails almost exclusively from my blackberry and it has made me much more productive.

I would have gotten and Android if there had been a model with physical keyboard which I could have gotten, but alas it was not the case.
