Over the years I’ve had more mobile phones than I care to remember. Most of them I’ve either sold on or given away to friends and family but I still have a pretty large collection. Hey, who knows, they might be worth some money one day.

The first mobile phone I had was bigger than a brick, probably heavier as well and with a battery life of a whopping 4 hours! Thankfully things have changed a lot and improvements unimaginable before are now a reality.

One of my most favourite phones was the Siemens SL55.

A triband phone with colour screen and polyphonic ringtones and a really tactile feel to it. It was so small you could lose it in your pocket and I used this phone for many months before continuing on my quest to find “The perfect mobile phone“.

The trouble with mobile phones is the technology moves on at a tremendous pace that within weeks of you getting your brand new phone it no longer cuts in anymore. This is what I found with the Siemens SL55. Great when I got it but lacking in a camera and bluetooth it just had to go.

I’m currently using a Motorola V3i that I’ve had for a while which I’m pretty much happy with but want to change soon. The only problem is looking around there isn’t much on offer that appeals to me. It seems we have gone past the days of miniaturization and phones seem to be getting bigger all the time.
