I see the new Nokia retro phone was put on sale today. I might have considered one, but just bought a new Doro...best older person phone ever!

Is this phone out? I asked in the EE shop and Carphone Warehouse and they both said they had no word on the release date.

Does anyone really expect honest, unbiased, informed and up to date advice in a mobile phone shop?

I`ll second that about the Doro,even I can use it

I have a collection of old phones until recently i used my Nokia 7110 "matrix" phone, When i fot it new i was amazed and thought that phones would never get much better than that

Does this qualify as a Retro Phone ??

What is that thing?

1932 Siemens 'desk-top' telephone in white bakelite. Weighs about 3kg. Back in the day, black telephones were included in the customers' line-rental charged by the Post Office. Coloured (white, red or green) phones cost extra. Siemens were slightly cheaper than the Post Office's own phones although they looked virtually identical.

I'm a half-hearted collector of bakelite stuff!

In 1990 a few of us Coal Board people were given a suitcase full of batteries with a phone on the side to share if we needed to go on pit visits. It was almost totally useless. So they gave us pagers. They were very reliable.
