I am having a retro moment, and decided to give up my smart phone for a couple of months.
I have reverted back to my favorite style of phone - The Flip.

So, I purchased a new Motorola V9.
I would have preferred a Motorola Startac SE ( my favorite phone ever)- but they wont work on modern networks.

Imagine this, a phone that makes calls and has numerical buttons. How original

Not having dual sims in one phone may be a slight issue..... 

Interesting. I still have a soft spot for my old T28 Ericsson. I couldn't go back though as making calls is such a small part of what I use my iPhone for.

nice, I remember when it came out - and purchased one the same day, also had a T29 

Yep - had a T29 too, on One2One (I think?). That phone has the honour of being the only one I've dropped down the toilet (so far). And no, the bowl or rice didn't work

Your nails need cut mate

One of funniest adverts! Still remember it whilst being at secondary school...
 MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

I just looked at that and thought I should add a 'not my photo' disclaimer!

When I want to 'go retro' I get my Motorola 3300 out. Takes a full size sim. Get some stange looks!

I would like a simple phone that handles calls and texts and also has a really good camera. Ease of use is far more important than shoals of features. I want a phone/camera, not a mini computer. I'm currently using a Nokia Lumia 520 on a contract with EE - that phone has thousands of features that I'll never use or understand. Any ideas? Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne

No. It's a keeper. Tip: I got mine on the German ebay site www.ebay.de Just search for motorola 3200/3300

I understand, already looked - none around , though binatone do one for 25 .

My first mobile was a "proper" carphone in 1985. The base unit was like a small suitcase in the boot of the car and there was a wired telephone handset mounted on the dashboard. To show how much power it took, I was away on a course for a week and regularly made calls in the breaks. At the end of the week I discovered that I had run the car battery flat and there was just enough power to call the RAC and get me started. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

Those were the days! I had a Motorola with the removable battery pack in the boot (of my Rover 820 ). The handset clipped on to the battery pack to become a "real" mobile!  10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)
