This is for my personal phone line, while the N80 is for my work line. Before this, I was using an old 7250 but it was rebooting randomly. I stopped using my previous Sony Ericsson K700i since it’s hard to text with two manufacturers’ phones at the same time. This cheap phone is pretty neat. The reverse monochrome LCD was quite weird at first - yellow/green text on a black background - but it’s readable even when dim and at wrong angles. I’m guessing this was done to eliminate the need for a backlight. This is the kind of phone you’d think of in musings on Third World Mobile.
