I got my cell phone (Nokia 3390) on January (16?/17?) 2003. We now are October 12, 2007 (Friday). Meaning I've had my phone for almost 5 years. The phone claims that in the past 5 years, I have talked for 108 hours, 58 minutes, and 46 seconds... But my phone has been slowly dying in the past few months, and it completely expired a couple of days ago.
After several days of thorough research about the different kinds of Nokia phones available on the market, and after a lot of looking-up of Nokia handsets, I have decided to buy... a new battery!
So I found an e-bay store that sells compatible batteries. I bought 2 batteries for $4 plus shipping (a new phone would have cost me $100 or more). I put one of the new batteries in the cell phone and put it to charge. It finished charging on Wednesday morning. We are now Friday night and the battery is only 25% empty. I think my phone is back to life!!
My phone has no camera, no web browser, no radio, no mp3 player, no video capture, no multi-bands reception, and no colours. But it allowes me to make and receive phone calls (with cool ringtones), to send and receive text messages (with comfortable buttons), and to play 4 games. And that's all I need from a cell phone!
