Why? For all the reasons below:
1. Extra long battery life. Get all the phone calls you want from all the irritating nurses and your battery will not fail you. Forgot to charge for a day? It'll never fail you either. Some can last you for a week in idle mode.
2. The most durable phone. Why hate your smartphones for all the continuous non-stop incoming calls? Now, shift your anger to this cheap phone and throw it to the wall if you want to. Shattered as it is, assemble it again and it's good to go. Save your pocket from getting another smartphone, nay?
3. The cheapest phone. So cheap that even your Indonesian/Filipina maids are using color screen phones if not smartphones. So cheap that even if you left it somewhere, there is someone who would be bothered to return it to you. Honesty is worth more than this phone, that is.
4.You can type with your eyes closed. Why waste quality sleep when you can type and keep your eyes shut at the same time. Tactile buttons are always superior than touchscreen in this sense.
5. Got some tonsils to check? Forget your pen torches. They are bound to be missing after some colleagues/boss who forgot to return them to you. These phones, despite cheap, are packed with a mini torchlight for this purpose.
Ooh.. I just love the ol' nokia machine. In fact, when I asked for it, I told the salesgirl, "Give me the cheapest phone with the longest lasting battery". I'd omitted the part where "the fugliest" comes in. But well, who cares? I'm sure most of us would have some sweet nostalgic memories of the ol' Nokia basic phone. That, seriously, is the phone from "My Generasi." :P
