Oldest regular working mobile phone?

Hi

Just thought I would a question as to who has the oldest working mobile phone in regular use??

The reason for posting is after reading a lot of posts re damaged phones with water damage dissatisfaction with service etc.

To get the ball rolling I am still using my Orange Nokia 6210e classic which was issued to a work colleague in Spring 2000 and it still has the original battery.

It is on 24/7 for my business (construction industry) been dropped countless times, immersed in water (dog bowl) problems so far is a slightly doggy “7” button.

Used Orange as my service provider since initial contract signed September 1996

Currently on OVP virgin tariff and never been able to get a free upgrade on that tariff!

Still, as long as it keeps going I shall be happy - but being a skinflint, I have another 6210e as a spare.

Kind regards to all

Nokia 3210 - Moms phones, God knows how old (10 years maybe), not in use anymore but works. I think it was the Nokia 3210 anyway, its around here somewhere, was very popular at the time.

Nokia 7210 from 2002, great little phone. Also have a 8210 somewhere that worked the last time i used it. Another fantastic old phone. Nokia's like the old 3210/3310 were practically indestructible compared to todays offerings. My W800i has lasted very well though

I have been using my Nokia 3410 since 2002, original battery, still holds a charge well and it is used every day. I am looking at getting a new phone though, maybe it is time for an upgrade!
