I have been thinking about getting a new mobile phone for a while (Years; I carry version of the Sony Ericcson T610) and I spent some time last week looking at a new one: the Nokia 6030. Now this is a really low-end phones by today's standards. Essentially the same spec as my old phone (Though without Bluetooth, erg.) but with Nokia reception and UI. I really loathe the Sony Ericsson interface; though not as much as I hate Motorola's. Now interestingly, Noah happens to have a post on simplifying in general and going back to a simple mobile phone in particular and, while he refers to the new PEBL not this phone, the logic is the same. In essence, I find myself slowed down by PDAs/smart phones, not enabled by them. That's why I stopped carrying a Palm. That's why I shy away from the Treo or a Crackberry. Hm.
