My current phone is slowly breaking and I've been searching for something along those lines. Samsung E2370 seems to fit the bill, though even it has some extraneous features: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_e2370_xcover-3152.php

by siika2000 16y ago
Here's something I don't understand: Why do they ban technologies on cost grounds? Why not just force the teams to sell one of their cars (chosen by random) in an auction at some minimum price at the end of the season? Banning technologies

I still don't get it. I would love to use Dropbox but I can't install it everywhere I go since the installation requires admin rights and I don't have them at the university's computer for example. But I can use SSH and therefore SCP from a
