>>As years go by Symbian Nokia have only one problem area: battery. The replacement ones you buy tend to be forgeries - which will not have the endurance as the original ones had. The trusted 6210 was in use for over a dozen years, the E51 which replaced it already 7 years old...

>It's just about batteries for everything. I've had replacement batteries for a PSP, at least two laptops, one camera (and probably a few other things owned by daughters) where fresh replacement batteries had anywhere between 20 and 80% of the capacity of the original. And yes, one Nokia - but the other three are still running fine on original batteries. Mine still requires only a weekly recharge, and it's 4.5 years old. Not that I'm using it much, but then a charge lasted a week when it was new.

One of the reasons laptops are mostly Fujitsu here ist the reuse of the power supplies, as the laptps themselves were all right. Bought 3 spares for the first laptop and each new machine added its own to the stable - Did not have to buy additional new power supplies for each typical plug-in place for each generation and usually can leave the safety one inside the carry bag and have another safety in car.

Mini USB took care of that for the smaller stuff, but Granddaddy Nokia still needs an adapter cable, as the specs were not in place back then - a small drawback
