I just got a new cell phone (same number as the old one).
There's nothing wrong with my old one - it still functions properly and has a good battery.
It does, however, have a "feature" that I dislike.
The Nokia 1112 (and, from what I've seen online) has the ability to dial emergency numbers even when the keypad is locked. It's got 5-8 preset code numbers installed (it apparently depends on the service provider).
Yesterday I pocket-dialed 911, and, as that's not the first time that's happened, I decided it was time for a new phone. The new one is a flip-phone, so that shouldn't be a problem again.
