Nokia 3120 (AT&T)

Summary: I went with this phone as a result of a detente with my spouse. We migrated from ATT and combined on a family plan with Cingular. I was fully prepared to hate this phone and start building a case to upgrade (as I do periodically) to the kind of full featured, cutting edge phone that I've been accustomed to using since the mid-90's. Unfortunately, this phone is fantastic. For the past several years I've grown increasingly displeased the addition of some features e.g., I don't want a camera phone, I hate sending text messages, I can't imagine watching a video on a phone, and to me, the idea of composing a ring tone is absurd. As a technology exec, this litte, ordinary phone gives me exactly what I want - great battery life and highly reliable call connections with great sound quality.
