Life of current mobile handsets. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9182)   ranked 50 out of 6,947 in cell phone5 months ago

Hi friendshappy, I have 2-3 Nokia mobile handsets and I believe that Nokia handsets are better than others. However, one of my Nokia handset No.6030 suddenly went out of order, its screen/display almost went blank. I tried to get it repaired, however, I could not get it repaired and with the result the handset has become as good as dead me, I can receive calls, yet I cannot see the display. What is your experience about using mobile phone handsets? Do you think that now a days mobile handset are fragile, delicate and they can go out of order any time and they have a short life span? Please share your experiences with me. Thanks in advance for your responses. happy

First of all I do not have a mobile with me right now.We had a second one at home along with my son's but it is not being used right now.I think it is a Nokia.I need to activate it next month .I am que diffident about using the handset because I suddenly feel deaf while answering it. lolI guess I would fall in line once I use it actively.Sorry for my useless response.[I can write 8 lines without any real information . lol

Hi dear!
You are always welcome Kala to my discussions, irrespective of the fact whether you have thorough knowledge of the subject or notthumbup. You see I find the spirit of participation more important than anything else. Please do not say that yours is a 'useless' response, I never never think it that way and will not every think so. You took the initiative to respond, despite the fact you do not use mobile handsets much. I appreciate your gesture and you become special because you are the first one to kick start the discussion. I can understand your predicament about your knowledge of mobile handsets, specially, when you have not been using mobile phones earlier, due to one reasons or the other. Hope you start using mobile phones sooner than later and will be able to tell me how good was your handset. lol
Many thanks for sharing and dropping in.

Yes, Nokia are the best sets. They are very friendly and little boys also know how to use it.I had one Motorola. It was difficult to use and the casing was always coming out and once it did that, the screen goes blank. Then I have a Samsung. It had a real battery connection problem. My current Nokia has a problem when I put in a flash memory card. Sometime it doesn't work and you have to place a piece of paper between the battery and the memory card to make it work.

Hi jon!
It means that you have tried different makes and you did not find any of them durable, as you would have liked to have. I think now a days cell phone's life is short and they do not last long.
Thanks for joining.

Most of my phones are outdated now. They are mostly basic models. As far as I am concern, as long as I call out and receive calls, they will do. No need to join the fashion Janes to be always onto the newest models.They are not inexpensive, you know...

Hi Deepak I agree with you that nokia company handsets are the best compared to others.. but still now a days we cant hope them to use for very long time.. I too had one 6030 set it was nice till 2 years after purchasing it.. then one day it got drenched in rain and speaker gone.. It got repaired but even now some times speaker will not work properly..


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9182)   ranked 50 out of 6,947 in cell phone  5 months ago

Hi dear!happy
I think that Nokia 6030 handset is not a very long lasting handset and it is not durable or designed for long run. One of my friends has the same set, he has also been facing 'display' problem with this set. I understand that while buying new handsets, we should make our mind that these can go out of order anytime/anywhere. lol Thanks for dropping and sharing.

The older version of nokia brands are known for their heavy duty usage. Even when you accidentally drop it, you can easily assemble it back and the impact has no effect on the smooth working of the handset. I have even accidentally put my mobile phone in the washing machine and together with my laundry went to 3 spins which took about 20 minutes being soaked in water. I dismantle the whole set and use a hairdryer to dry it and after a day it came out just fine. I don't see it happening with the latest models in the market. They are more fragile.

myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9182)   ranked 50 out of 6,947 in cell phone  5 months ago

Hi Zandi!
I agree with you that older version of Nokia brands were more durable than the present ones. The existing mobile handsets are not so durable and they do not last long, no doubt that newer sets have some advanced features, but one cannot be sure of their lives. It is good that you could re-start your Nokia phone, even if it got washed in the washing Machine.
have a niced day!

I still consider Nokia sets to be best. It is also the case the navigation is very easy compared to the others. But I have bought 7210 supernova in February. I am not happy with it. The features are good but at that time, the pack did not contained data cable and extra memory stick. without them it is just useless.
I think there are complains like yours in some sets.


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9182)   ranked 50 out of 6,947 in cell phone  5 months ago

Hi Subha!
Nokia have some very handsets, however, I have developed a feeling that now a days these are not more durable and it can conk out any time. We will have to make oursevles understand that handsets are fragile now a days and it is life is not known, even if we keep them safely.

The slimmer and more technologically advanced the phones are the more delicate they become. Sometimes they don't function too well because of some impact and at times they would start malfunctioning on their own. For this reason although i've used high end palm pda's,i still prefer and use simple older models which are rugged.

Hi Alok!
You are right older models are better, though the new models give you some additional features, yet I feel that they are not so durable and long lasting. Many thanks for sharing.

Nokia handsets are supposed to be one of the best in our country but I have not used a Nokia handset for a very long time. Just now both the mobiles that I use are Motorola. These handsets have not given me any trouble for the last few years so I do not feel like switching to another handset now.

We will have to make oursevles understand that handsets are fragile now a days and it is life is not known, even if we keep them safely. You appear to be lucky that your Motorola handsets have not given you any trouble. I wish it should not create a problem for you, because if a sets is used for considerable period of time, one feels that s/he has got his/her money's worth.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day!wink

if we have the mobile very safely, i can the life time of mobile as 3 years in higher model mobiles.. but within that, you may need to repair the keypad and sometimes the display too... so it depends on how you handle and mostly nowadays no one likes to have a mobile for more than 1 year...

You may be right. I remember the very first cellphone was 3210 and it lasted for about 6 years. Well, it's still working but the batter is already drained and needs a new one. It was pretty durable because it was dropped several times but didn't have any problem. However, the recent Nokia phones are not made to last like the first models. Well, they are getting cheaper so I believe the materials are not as good as the first ones.
My favorite Nokia phone was the 2626 because it can store more than a thousand messages which for me is very important. A phone is a device to call and be called, to send and receive text messages. But now phones are getting more sophisticated and complicated but they don't last very long. thumbdown


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9182)   ranked 50 out of 6,947 in cell phone  5 months ago

Hi dear!happy
Nokia have some very good handsets, however, I have developed a feeling that now a days these are not more durable and it can conk out any time. I fully agree with you that 3210 was the best and the most durable ones, I bought one for my better half some 5 years back and it still works fine. You are right, now a days may be cell phone companies are using cheaper materials which do not have long life.
We will have to make oursevles understand that handsets are fragile now a days and its life is not known, even if we keep them safely. I think that 2626 is one of the best handsets. It is good that it helps you send text messages in bulk.
Thanks for sharing.

Exactly so for people like me who is always on a budget it's not wise to spend much on celphones. I want one that I could use for maximum of two years and buy a new one again afterwards. The cheaper the better. Not necessarily the latest models but those that came out about a year ago would be best because their price value will have dropped by almost double sometimes. thumbup

Hello deepak! We always have bad experiences about nokia mobile phones. Just like you, my sister bought a nokia mobile phones after one year, something's wrong with it. It's working but you can't see the screen, it's like blank or something. The technician said that probably my sister dropped it off on the floor (which is true..hehehe)So I believe that mobile handsets nowadays are too fragile.


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9182)   ranked 50 out of 6,947 in cell phone  5 months ago

Hi Aisa!
You are right Nokia mobile handsets and for that matter handsets of other companies are not so durable and long lasting and if you drop it on the floor, as you sister did, these are so delicate and fragile that it will start creating problems. However, we cannot help it, we need mobile phones, as they have become an integral part our lives.Many thanks for sharing. thumbup

Hope you are enjoying at your new place. happy
