I have a bit of an unusual question. I do a lot of traveling to places where a data connection is iffy and/or ludicrously expensive, so having my smartphone along for the trip is cumbersome and just unnecessary.

Basically i'm looking for a small bar phone, kinda like that nokia pic below, and in need of recommendations of what to get/is it available on ebay/amazon/etc.

The catch is that i really want my SMS messages to be threaded....

All suggestions greatly appreciated!

haters gonna hate! :P

 

But seriously it's pretty much imperative it be an older phone due to the regular sized SIMs i'm using.

I like the bar style form factor, and just want something with threaded messages!!!
