Your cell phone is out dated if it looks like a world war II field radio ! I don't have a cell phone but if I were to buy one it would be a Nokia after seeing the report of one still working after being in the belly of a cod fish !

When is a cell phone outdated?

When you have to ask.


Go get a Blackberry. The President uses his.

Default It depends

1. When you need a new battery and cannot find one no matter how you look. That caused us to dump Sprint and Sony way back when.

2. When you can no longer make calls because the phone company has moved on to newer technologies.

3. When you drive it off the lot.

4. When your grandkids mock you. When your spouse mocks you. When complete strangers at the store point you out to their kids and then start laughing.

5. When you consider taking to The Antiques Roadshow to determine "what it would sell for at auction".

when i bought a verizon samsung accolade flip phone for $20 my brother mocked me and my mom for having flip phones while he has his top of the line smart or i phones that his employer pays for

my first was a verizon kyocera 2325 that i bought in 2004. i kept it for 7 years.

so i guess you could say that all my phones are kind of outdated.

My wife still uses a Blackberry 8520. It's outdated, perhaps, but it works, so who cares?

Would most folks here consider this phone outdated? How do you know when it's outdated, when the battery is no longer sold in stores and you have to get it thru amazon or phones4less?
I would say when the model is no longer offered, accessories are no longer offered and they no longer update the os in the phone. of course since it's been 2004 when you got it, I doubt that there are going to be much in the way of upgrades. I would get a new phone because you can do a lot more on the newer phones now that you couldn't do with those phones like 10 years ago.

I hope the OP found a battery by now.
The old one was shot, and here we are almost 5 years later.

I wonder if the phone is still functioning?

When you take it out of the box.
