Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / February 2007Sturdiest Simple Phone?
My husband's Sprint Samsung is having microphone failure - he can hear fine, but it's hard to hear him. He wants "just a phone" - no camera, no email, no nothing but a sturdy phone where the mic will hold up. What's the toughest "just phone" these days? TIA - SCD in No. Calif I loved the RL4920, the 4930 appears to be an updated version with color screen. mikeyhsd@sport.rr.commikeyhsd@sport.rr.com My husband's Sprint Samsung is having microphone failure - he can hear fine, but it's hard to hear him.

It was simply this newsgroup mirrored onto the web. What's the point? SignaturePaul Miner Most phones now adays, are not going to be 'just phones'. But if you are looking for sturdy.. Id go with the ic502 by motorola, If you do not have the hybrid network yet in your area, the walkie talkie functionality may not work, but the phone portion works off the sprint CDMA network so no worries there. The phone meets with military standards of durability. > My husband's Sprint Samsung is having microphone failure - he can hear > fine, but it's hard to hear him.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > TIA - SCD in No. Calif My wife and I had Nokia 6016i phones for a few years that held up great. I know that Sprint does not sell them anymore but they can be found (Ebay, etc). I found them to be reliable, great sound and sturdy. I dropped mine several times in the parking lot without any damage. Each time I was trying to pull the phone out of my pocket and I ended up almost throwing it across the lot. It is a great simple phone. No camera, internet, etc. We recently upgraded to Katana phones. I wanted internet and my wife wanted "something cute". I guess the Nokia looked kind of plain. Mike katana is a grate basic phone i love mine. -- AL'S COMPUTERS > SCD <scd@gmail.com> wrote in news:uidlt212hli19qfk0qbvojgr5jct63tjvc@ > 4ax.com: [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Mike > katana is a grate basic phone i love mine. I like my Katana very much. It is a great phone. I am just not so sure that it is as durable as my old Nokia 6016i was. I do not think the Katana would survive being pitched across a parking lot. I guess the Katana can be considered "basic" since it does not play MP3s or play streaming video, but, to me the Katana is still not a basic phone. its pretty rugged the sales man at one store tossed it across the store to another sales man and he dropped it and it hit the cement floor hard other than a paint scratch its fine and works that sold me. that and I like the 650 worth of free extras I got for being a member of my local union. but in all its a good advanced feature phone for those who dont want mp-3 and streaming and what not. -- AL'S COMPUTERS > > katana is a grate basic phone i love mine. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > be considered "basic" since it does not play MP3s or play streaming video, > but, to me the Katana is still not a basic phone. >My husband's Sprint Samsung is having microphone failure - he can hear >fine, but it's hard to hear him. >He wants "just a phone" - no camera, no email, no nothing but a sturdy >phone where the mic will hold up. >What's the toughest "just phone" these days? http://www.cdnsystems.com/Items/100806 http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-IN-BOX-Motorola-Classic-II-Brick-Cell-Phone-Analog_W0QQi temZ150091839426QQihZ005QQcategoryZ45071QQcmdZViewItem > My husband's Sprint Samsung is having microphone failure - he can hear > fine, but it's hard to hear him.
