I need a new phone to replace my original Motorola Moto G (released in 2013).  Friends have been nagging me to upgrade because I get so annoyed at it. It takes 30 seconds to open snapchat and if I'm extra lucky it might even take a photo without crashing. It cannot run the facebook app because it doesn't have enough RAM and takes ages to open anything. The Moto G runs out of battery every afternoon, so I always have a bulky powerbank with me to recharge it.

I supplied a friend with a Microsoft Lumia a while ago, so this would be a great upgrade.

My mother needs a replacement phone to upgrade from her moribund Lumia 520 - seems appropriate that she goes to the new Nokia's, rather then limping on with a dead end platform...

Once owned a Nokia,
Worked only once in a while...
Still, a miracle.

 

Dropped my iPhone
In a, uh, pool of water
Not reaching in there!

 

Bought me a Samsung phone,
Slammed in a car door and cracked,
Only Nokia phones last forever!

 

Yes, I would like to have a Nokia again!

I had a lumia 520 but with no upgrade to win 10 mobile I got my current lumia 640. Now I don't get feature updates and it's pretty much abandoned by MS and app makers so I think the universe is telling me to shut it down for good with a final goodbye and to move onto something else.

When I gave my wife my very old Samsung S3 I got a hug and kiss.
If I gave her a new Nokia phone, I wonder what I might get!

I'll have to win one to find out ;)

Dear Mr. Freitas and Mr. Spark.

 

Hello, my name is Doro and I'm a flip-phone.

 

I would really, really like for my Boss to have a new phone, because then he'd be able to do internet stuff, send emails, and take very excellent photos of his grandchildren, his garden, and Lady Boss.

 

And sunsets and birds.

 

Boss lets me take photos, but I'm not a smart phone and my pictures aren't very smart either.

 

I'm very good at texting, though. If Boss had a new phone he'd give me to Lady Boss. She has an old Nokia, but it's broken, and I know she misses sending texts to her friends.

 

So a new phone would make all of us very happy, and Mr. Spark would have a new customer.

 

Yours truly,
Doro Flipphone.





Trump crowned? No faux King way!

I would be replacing an old Nokia C2-01. I had been using a really old and crappy Telecom T903 but it finally gave up the ghost, so I went back to the Nokia I has before that.

Ditto.

 

Now the dust has settled I'm resorting to a Samsung A8 PLUS.
