No. Don't replace the 6010.
It's the best basic phone you'll find. It's almost
indestructible--except when you drop it into a Big Gulp like Cavan did.
It has very good reception, is very reliable. The only thing missing is
speaker-phone feature, but the headphone is also very good.
The only reason I replaced my 6010 is that I needed an international
phone, and Cavan needed to replace his fizzy wet phone. Mine is tri-band
Nokia 3220, and I really should have a quad-band. I don't see any
quad-band candy bar phones in the US I like that are reasonably priced,
so I'll wait until I can get a small quad/wifi candy bar phone for
around $200. I've decided to buy a rock-bottom basic phone in Europe.
The Nokia 1100 costs around 10 euro, and I can get a free SIM with cheap
international rates from United Mobile.

Correction: Last year I bought a $50 card that was good for a year and
rolled over my unused minutes. So the current year cost me just $50.
I will probably renew with a $100 card since my annual usage seems to be
about 700 minutes.
So shoudl I replace my Nokia 6010 candy-bar with something better? I
looked at some newer phones with color screens and the screens lacked
contrast so were harder to read. They also wanted to sell me ringtones
while my 6010 came with a nice assortment of sound effects that work just
fine. Short of getting an iPhone, is a "better" phone worth the freight?
