Fido still offers the Nokia 6340 -- but this phone doesn't
do GPRS and requires a different SIM as I understand it.

Another option is to get a pure analog phone (no SIM
required) in addition to your GSM phone. I currently use a
Nokia 252, which is programmed with my Fido number.

Nah, don't want to haul another phone around. Thanks.
