Hi Raikkonen,
The reason I revive the phone is because of fond memories.
Just imagine the 1GB M2 Memory card still works until today. Photos and videos I take 10 years ago still remain.
Yes I do have 4G smartphones also. Undeniably Samsung is the most reliable followed by Huawei.
I managed to get the battery from a Kelantan seller.
https://shopee.com.my/%F0%9F%8C%9FClear-Sto...4675.5473184883RM 9.80 for a new battery. Cheapest offer I've seen!
Currently I am using Yoodo as the cheapest way to maintain the line (my exisiting line) . Secondly Yoodo supports Call Forwarding - very useful, if someone calls the number and no signal , it will auto forward to another line (must have Call minutes add on)
Only issue is that - the 2G reception is rather weak on Yoodo in this phone. Very sensitive to Indoor reception.
At first I tried with DIGI the 2G signal is stronger. But more expensive if just want to maintain the SIM card.
(They have an option - Reload RM 110, pay RM 108 for 1 year. Just to maintain the line. Not inclusive calls or anything)
Its probably the smallest smartphone (okey, its not Android, but at least it had Java support) .
But think of it: 14 years ago, it was considered a very advance phone.
From 2G to now upcoming 5G. We have come a long way.
I am using my broken Lenovo A338t for radio 📻.
