Retrofone is a fairly new company that sells older model mobile phones. It seems that this may be where some of the those traded in phones are actually going. The company has a whole range of old models for sale on their website. They have all of the old favourites including the Nokia 7110 and 6210. The 6210 being interesting because I still use a 6210 as my main mobile phone (it doesn’t even have a color screen). The prices seem reasonable and the service looks adaquate with a 30 day guarantee on purchases.
The site also offers some really old units including analogue units. I suppose these are useful today only as historical oddities, or possibly for use on some ancient network in a remote part of the world. Although is there anywhere that doesn’t have a GSM network these days?
