I'm still using a 3510 that I got new. One of the keys is now held in with sellotape.

Apparently it's a useful phone to have for those wanting to preserve their privacy when they travel: in certain countries, one can find that the authorities there are legally entitled to look through (keep a record of?) the contents of one's smartphone.

These are a step up from original as apparently it's possible to do a bit of browsing. Some smartphones offer a bewildering amount of functions and apps that aren't really needed.
Like my washer/dryer with its vast number of settings and programmable cycles but only four ever get used!
