Best mobile phone for call sound quality?

Dear All,

My ageing Sony K750i (stop laughing all those under 50) is beginning to fall apart and I need to get a new phone.
Looking around all the comparisons seem to focus on features/screen size/resolution/etc/etc. What I'm after is a basic (if such a thing exists) mobile phone that has the best quality sound available for calls.
I really am not interested in anything that comes out of the screen other than seeing who's callling or text messages. (Some friends have 'phones' that are almost half Ipad in size!)
I realise call sound quality has moved on from my current phone, but I don't know which one's are better than other's, or even what the current technology on sound is.
Conventional 'buttons' would be nice but I guess that really is 20th century.
Can somebody help with my request?

Thanks
Lulu

  • I still like my k530i !

    I suggest you look at something like the Nokia 300. I've just got one of these as a work phone and I'm quite impressed.

    It is a touchscreen/button hybrid design but much more "a phone" than the full touch screen devices.

    The website gsmarena have some quite detailed reviews, which include tests of sound quality and comparisons to . So here is a page from an example review which includes a table comparing a phone's sound quality to its rivals.

    So if you know some possible phones, I'd head over there and see how it rates them.
  • My old Nokia 6310 was the best ever , but I might suggest the 100 seems ok
