Nokia Made Too Many Phones

That's interesting, I mostly remember old folks sticking to flip phones. The SEs were all that could be found among my peers. We would've been in our mid teens at the time.

Then they were supplanted by early non-Android Samsung phones with the bad touchscreens, then by 2012 everyone had either an iPhone or Android.

It was only the space of a few years but seemed much longer back then!

Where in the world were you located at that time? We'd be around the same age I think, I was in Scotland and bought everything from Argos.

I'd have been just across the water in rural Northern Ireland. Argos was very much part of the picture but most phones came from the local O2 shop.

Thanks mate, I remember Argos had their own website up for a while where every catalogue could be viewed online. Bizarrely, they didn't provide any downloads. So I'm still on the hunt for PDFs of the 2003-2007 catalogues, the ones I'd remember most vividly.
