Koniec torów i buraki<p>Skład złomu w komplecie. Od lewej:</p><p>- Nokia 6150 (1997), którą już wcześniej pokazywałem. Do ideału potrzebuje wymiany gumki przewodzącej na wyświetlaczu (jakieś 5 zł) i może lepszej baterii. Udało się bezpiecznie zdemontować jedną ze starych, będę się do Was zwracał po pewne sugestie;</p><p>- Nokia 1100 (2004), podobno najlepiej sprzedający się model w całej historii firmy. Skromna i niezniszczalna. Tę kupiłem w Anglii za chyba 5 funtów w charity shopie.</p><p>- Nokia 5210 (2002) - jeden z pierwszych modeli o podwyższonej wytrzymałości. Oryginalne silikonowe elementy na obudowie tak się zdegradowały z czasem, że odchodzą pod paznokciem. Jednak za 9 zł nabyłem dwie skrajnie szczurowate obudowy, jedną doczyściłem do gołego plastiku, a drugą chyba zostawię w takim śmieciowym stylu.
