same happened to me. my nexus one broke several months ago and had to use a nokia brick that was lying there but i hate it.

I do not call people more often, i use my laptop for communicating with people now. I'm still stuck with that nokia though because i think we live in a time of ugly phones.

i was about to get a 4s until they introduced that elongated screen, not to mention the huge screens on the androids. Seems like if i want to get a thin cool smart phone these days i have to put up with excess everything. i wish there was a minimalist phone out there that was still cool.



>i wish there was a minimalist phone out there that was still cool.

Well, you could always get a BlackBerry, you know. Or if you REALLY want minimalism, then buy a refurbished Razr V3 off of eBay. And this quote is a bit puzzling:

>i was about to get a 4s until they introduced that elongated screen

You can still buy the 4S -- Apple is still selling it.


i don't know, my experience with nexus one is that once a new model comes out, the older one soon becomes unsupported.

I still use snow leopard for instance and i can't get many new features because of that.

So yes i can buy a 4s, but i was hoping for one that won't go unsupported soon. Plus you're right about the blackberry, i am considering one.


Apple still supports the iPhone 4, which is older than the iPhone 4s. What do you have against the 4-inch screen on the iPhone 5? It will still fit in your pocket, and it's lighter, thinner, etc.
