What's your best ever Nokia S60 handset?

The best phone everWhen I am talking about "Best Phone" I am not just talking about the features, I am also talking about durability, battery life, ease of use and so on.

For me, mine is the Nokia 6620 which I used for over 3 years (pretty much when they came out in the US) 3 years ago this phone was state of the art.

It had one of the best VGA cameras I have used to date, IR, Bluetooth, a 150mhz processor, stereo support, 1gb MMC card, 32-35mb of ram (I cant remember what it has), joystick that works good for playing all 622 NES roms I have.

I also have Psiloc's IrRemote that came in handy way too many times for me too count.

It came from the factory the ability to use whatever mp3's you wanted for ringtones, so I had a different one for everyday of the year. It supported java, had real player on it, I mean it seems like today the phones that are out are just now coming standard with all the features this phone had on it 3 years ago. If it had Wi-Fi and a better camera I would still be using it today.

Now for Durability.......... this is were my phone has the Heavyweight title......... I have dropped this phone a million times..... while 4-wheeler riding, riding my scooter on the road resulting in my phone skipping across the road while luckily dodging traffic.

2 years I went on a float trip and I tried to keep my phone and camera dry and both years the bags ended up getting water in them. I was shaking my phone off and water was literally just flying out of it. I also dropped it in a toilet once (luckily I hadn't pissed yet) it was lit up and underwater and I hurried up and grabbed it out.

After all of this abuse it still works perfectly. Now the casing looks bad because they don't sell casings for it but other than that it is still running strong. The battery life sucked on it and it needed wifi and a better camera but other than that it is by far the best phone I ever owned and I got so much use out of it.

I now own a Nokia N95-NAM which always stays in its little Nokia pouch and it has a screen protector and I make sure not to take any chances with it.

Now the N95 is by far a way better phone for features, I just hope I can get as much use out of it as I did my 6620, which still comes with me and the float trip (N-95 is never going down the river). It is nice to have a good backup phone for when I go riding or camping and since I have the N95 I really don't worry about it breaking at all. I think it will eventually self-destruct and go out in a blaze of glory, at least it deserves to go out with a bang after having me own it for 3 years and surviving.
