It's good for old people and aggressive people that frequently like to throw their phones away, because they are cheap. Nobody else will buy it just because its got a "minimalist design".
The iPhone has only one button.. seems even more minimalist.
- dagw 16y agoAlthough I won't buy that phone, I would be interested in a solid, beautifully designed phone that simple focuses on being a phone and doing that really really well. Think Vertu, but not crap and designed by someone with actual taste and not stupidly priced and...OK, so perhaps not Vertu.
- robin_reala 16y agoIf you can find one in good condition a Nokia 8910 might be for you. Titanium casing, well built, and old enough (2002) that it doesn’t have much beyond calling and txting.
- beoba 16y agoDo they still sell compatible batteries though?
- robin_reala 16y agoHmm, this might be a problem. Usually Nokia batteries are fairly compatible but it looks like the BLB-2 that the 8910 takes was only ever used in that. http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/batteries/nokia-battery-blb-2/compatibility http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-access... Shame! There are plenty of 'genuine' ones on ebay if you want to risk it.
- jacquesm 16y agoIt's not that cheap actually, compared to other 'cheap' cell phones. Typically those are around 40 euros, this one is twice that.
- ErrantX 16y agobecause they are cheap Cheap? You can pick up a cheap pay-and-go phone here in the UK for about £25 ($50) or less :) And it handles text messaging. I'm not sure it is even good for old people - from the engadget review it looks very fiddly.

- swombat 16y agoThis would have worked if it was dirt cheap. If they sold it for $5 or something, then yes, i can see a use for it. At 99 euros, they can forget it.
