Nokia 5500 it's dust proof waterproof and shockproof. I know it's waterproof cos it sat in a puddle for a while last month and still worked fine. Looks like sh#t but swear by it and the battery easily lasts 3 days. Encased in steel so you can't break it and big rubber buttons for my delicate thumbs.

went through loads of them shockproof nokias.. kept breakin the screens. Had a motorola flip phone and that lasted one day. Have another older version motorola one which is ok, but the buttons are a wee bit small for my stumpy fingers iykwim. Takes good photies and battery lasts good three days though so cant complain. Still not as good as my first motorola brick though!

Got a Samsung d900,not a bad phone,but they do mark easily so I keep it in one of those iPod socks,might look a bit soppy but they do the job.I think someone was asking about the newer version of the d900.Its the u600,my daughter has one.Im not keen on it to be honest.It is very touch sensitive.

Old nokia brick 65-summat. Big battery, no camera, etc. All the paint has now worn off so I use the buttons from memory. Dust has got in behind the lens which is scratched to hell both sides. It can't do WAP, Skype, instant messaging, play music or take pictures. It's been dropped, thrown, abused, drowned, etc. over the last year and it still works!

Because I'm not out on site as much as I'd like to be, and because it's handy to have email access when I'm on me travels, I use a E650 SPV smartphone from Orange. It's handy enough for checking emails, but the web access is painfully slow. Whenever I go into the Orange shop to complain, it loads pages like greased lightning, of course, and leaves me looking like even more of a fool.

Still, it 'talks' to the laptop and the office pc, synchronising my calendar and contacts, and it can be used as a modem for the laptop in an emergency, so I'd struggle without it, but, if I was back in the trenches, I'd be terrified that all its fancy trickery and slide-out qwerty keyboard would be knackered within minutes.

asda are doing a 2130 nokia for Â£20 and you get Â£21 of free talk time
so theoretically you could use the phone then discard (although this would be terrible for the environment and i could end up with swampy camping on my chimney or something for saying it )

nice little handset but no unlock codes yet
