Hi there,
time to upgrade my ancient Alcatel to a Nokia 8310.I really like this
Nokia but read that certain versions have a spontaneous shutdown
problem which can be corrected by flashing.

My wife is all out against me getting the 8310.She says why are you
buying this if you know that it has defects?

I was reasoning that the other
manufacturers(Ericson,Panasonic,Siemens,Alcatel etc) have bugs too but
i dont know enough about the latest phones. Dont their modern cell
phones have bugs too?

thanks,

Sam

Many features = a lot of bugs

It seems that most of the bugs are related to having too many
applications programed into these tiny phones. Most of the crashes I
have heard about are related to an activity where a none talking
function is in use.
Hopefully the brand new phones will be better, but all the current
phones have bugs. Phones with energy saving features tend to literally
turn off on you.
What I would suggest is to go into your software programs and turn off
any function that you don't want to use, or can't see any use for. You
can always turn on what you want to use later. I turned off several
buried features in my T62U before I made phone book entries- I don't
miss any of them. If you wish to use your cell phone for Internet
activities than expect it to crash. It's not a laptop computer.
