A dreadful cell phone - screen can't be read in bright light

1 star rating

simple is good, usually just making or receiving a call, value conscious, practical
Pros

    Can't think of even one

Cons
    An all-around lousy phone, Uses icons - not words, Icons are indecipherable, Address list is very cumbersome to use, Many useless features, Must read screen in dim light, I live in Hawaii - we have sun!

ATT is apparently changing to a 'new' system and is requiring everyone to acquire 'new' phones.  Unfortunately, the newer cell phones are directed at people who want to e-mail, shop, and do everything but make calls.  My old Nokia was incredibly simple and user-friendly.  I live in Hawaii and the sun is always shining.  This 'new' Nokia's screen is unreadable, even just riding in the car - to say nothing about on the beach.  The phone's 'menu' consists of icons which are indecipherable - not that I care since I have no interest in using the phone except for making and receiving phone calls.  I don't understand why these cell phone manufacturers don't realize that there are some people (more than they think!) who just want a phone that's a phone and make one available.  I'd think it would be much cheaper for them, too.  No games, no 'shopping mall', no e-mail, etc.  Plus some of us prefer to read the menu - not try to figure out what's what with silly little icons.  Additonally, being able to easily access stored phone numbers is very important and was easy on my old phone.  Not on this one where I've got to find the correct 'little picture' on the menu, then go through another couple of steps to get to the person's name.
