Actually, I had a friend who insisted it was spelled "cel" with one L. So I wrote it down in my address book as her "cel" number. One time she and her mom called me (on a regular phone) because they had forgotten how to spell the word "shoe" so who knows?

I read they made a new one of this kind. Where it is or how to get it, I dunno. But there is a new one. Of that sort in the picture. Phones these days are serious. I would imagine most of the people who read this are reading it on a phone. Disgusting!

They're common and popular in Asia still for grammas and grandpas who just want to be able to make and receive calls and not worry about charge or getting lost in the features.

Okay..... This is the Nokia 3210... This was an absolute beast of a phone, not only did it has a more pleasing design that's the 3310 and generally better feeling build quality but it's replaceable clip on covers on the back and front allowed for incredible customisation!! You could get licensed covers in various colours for silly prices or just pop down your local boot fair/market/£1 shop and pick up a gaudy Union Jack cover for next to nothing, my preference was to cover the covers in BMX Stickers because I was just that kind of cool kid. The 3210 was one of the first phones to ditch the aerial and boasted programmable custom ringtones as well as operator logo's which could be bought from sketchy premium phone numbers at the back of men's magazines. The absolute best thing though was the game SNAKE yes the original snake, I like many others chose to use the "radiator" technique to maximise high scores and impress my friends. In summary the 3210 is the greatest phone to have ever existed and is unlikely to be surpassed.
