When in the local Telstra mobile shop yesterday picking out a bluetooth
hands free kit (Supertooth brand), I enquired about car kits for my
current 2280 (you know, the one with the dud battery) and other models.
The kid suggested that for $65 I could buy a Nokia 2112 CDMA and for
another $60 buy a cradle that would replace the 2280's cradle on the
CARK-126 car kit.
The phone is currently being promoted on a pre-paid. But it would merely
be transfered to my existing number and account and I'd continue on the
same plan. Meanwhile, the phone would remain locked into Telstra.
The deal sounds OK. But I know nothing of the phone, its performance,
quality, etc.
The salesman pointed me in the direction of the 2112 because I said that
I was not impressed with the Nokia's 6225 or the wife's 6230's color
screen. The 2112 is mono, the same as my 2280 which works fine in all
light conditions.
Just wondering if any of you guys have played with the 2112 or heard
anything about it.
The only problem that I have with getting another phone is that its life
will be limited, what with GSM and CDMA networks due to be replaced by a
3G one in a couple of year's time. I was only looking at these phones as
the new cradle would also allow the missus to use the car kit with her
phone when driving my car. But then, I s'pose it'd be easier and cheaper
for he to simply use the bluetooth kit (it came with 2 visor clips) in
either her or my car.
