Nokia 6800 R.I.P.

9.18.2006 at 8:11 PM

Last week, I took my Nokia 6800 cell phone out of service. It still worked, too. That thing was a workhorse.

I liked the keyboard so much that I had a hard time giving it up. That keyboard was great for text messages. Now I'm back to the old "Cu@1 2mro" routine. That bugs me. But I have a camera now. But I don't like the pictures so well. Maybe I'll use it to post some live reports or something.

Anyway, in memory of my Nokia 6800 cell phone on which I used no funny free ringtones.
