I've got my eye on the Nokia 5310, but would be interested to hear if anyone else has a feature phone that they like.

Obviously the main thing is to be able to make calls, but sadly it seems like a lot of these feature phones go sooo cheap that they have issues with that. (Sticking buttons, crashing, poor call audio quality, etc)

I don't even care if it's expensive. I just want a working phone that isn't a big, gay, buttonless screen.

I first heard from a T-Mobile employee. I confirmed it online. 2G is already off in some areas, 3G is slated to be turned off, probably by the end of this year or next--I forget exactly. I just know that at some point I wall have to buy a phone that will not last as long as my current one has.

Crazy. I remember when they sunsetted tdma and amps. Those were different systems though. GSM is the baseline for hsdpa and lte. They shouldn't need to do anything to maintain backwards compatibility. I could see a CDMA company that transitioned to lte sunsetting CDMA and CDMA rv.1 but I don't know why they would need to shut down older GSM tech. I havent done that kind of work in a while though so maybe I'm missing something.
