Respectable cell phones

[EyeMWing]

I'm looking into getting myself a cell phone - finally. However, I HATE everything that I've seen thus far. They're all FAR too small, FAR too flashy, and have worthless functions like ringtones, games, etc.

I'd like somthing that looks and feels like cell phones did in 1995, yet will still work on a modern phone network. The object is to come off looking professional, not just like your average, everyday twerp. And above all the mouthpiece should be NEAR MY MOUTH. Not somewhere around my fscking earlobe.

Do these still exist?

nokia 6200

this has ring tones, wouldnt you wanna hear when people call you. there is obviously a vibe feature, and generic ringtones of your choosing
it has one game on it by defualt but you would be able to remove it .

the phone is fairly small but has a profesisonal and sleek look

the mouth piece you could buy at any cell phone store, to the kind you like..

I've had the same problem. The candy-bar phones are ridiculously small and toy-like. I've found some flip-phones from people like Nextel & Motorola that are no-nonsense machines. For me a flip phone offers the compact style when not in use, and during conversation it conveniently folds into a reasonably sized unit which allows you to speak in the phone (not below it) and to actually be able to comfortable handle it. Here's a good example of what i like.

Motorola Flip Phone

Like they did in 1995? Why not 1994 or 1996?

I have the Motorola i90. It's respectable looking if appearances concern you.

Problem is, most older cell phones aren't compatible with the networks used today.

EDIT: this one's perfect for you.

My dad has an even older one. The ones that are like gray/gray-white two-tone, sized larger than a payphone's handset thing.

if you want a phone w/ class and respect, get a nokia 8860.............one of the best for a phone user(no 3d games, no internet etc etc.....just a phone).


or a 8890........
