他们不是老人，为何还在用诺基亚功能机？ - 诺基亚,功能机 - IT资讯
当移动网络进入4G时代后，仍然有用户还在使用2G网络。国外科技媒体Mashable近期采访了澳洲多位还在坚持使用2G网络和诺基亚功能手机的用户。这些用户并不排斥高科技，但是他们由于种种原因而使用2G手机。一位功能机用户在接收采访时说：“它很小巧，我就是喜欢。我真不明白，为什么有那么多人把半个iPad大的手机贴在脸上打电话？”
以下是文章主要内容：
2G移动网络已迈入迟暮之年。这是一项90年代的服务，当时我们用2G手机来发短信，玩《贪吃蛇》游戏。如今，至少在澳大利亚，2G网络即将被淘汰。
澳大利亚最大电讯公司“澳大利亚电讯”(Telstra)已经宣布，计划在今年年底关闭2G网络。从2017年4月起，澳大利亚第二大电讯公司Optus也将关闭2G服务。到目前为止，沃达丰尚未公布有关关闭2G网络的计划。
沃达丰发言人对此表示：“用户对3G和4G网络的需求与日俱增，但也有一些用户对基础移动网络(2G网络)表示满意。我们会密切关注用户需求，以在我们的网络上平衡2G、3G和4G需求。”
虽然大多数澳大利亚用户已经转向3G或4G网络，但仍有一部分用户仍在坚持使用传统的功能型手机，如Nokia 3310。无论是出于工作需要，还是经济因素，这些用户仍对2G网络乐此不疲，而且还会持续使用。
社会责任心
雷切尔是悉尼的一位兼职教师，她仍在快乐地使用着2G服务。雷切尔使用的是一部古老的诺基亚手机，具体型号她自己也不清楚。其实，雷切尔有好几部2G手机。她说：“当一部坏了之后，就会使用另一部。”
雷切尔坚持使用2G服务的一个原因是为了降低费用。她说：“我从来不主动呼叫，使用手机的目的就是为了能让别人联系上自己。”
当然，雷切尔也反对没有必要的购买。她说：“我年龄大了，已经开始厌恶电子产品了。其实，不只是手机，我现在几乎不再购买任何新产品了。”
此外，环保也是雷切尔坚持使用旧手机的一个因素。她说：“我的环保意识很强。我们刚刚把装满电子垃圾的集装箱运往加纳，然后在那里倾销，这是多么荒唐的事情啊。”
这并不意味着雷切尔从不上网。雷切尔家里安装了宽带，她并不认为必须要通过手机来上网。她说：“当走在大街上时，我并不想再拿着手机上网。我现在关心的问题是，运营商关闭2G网络之后，我该怎么办。”
雷切尔还称，学校的孩子们告诉她，现在拿着一款旧式的诺基亚手机反而挺酷，因为这有点复古了。
工作需要不得不用2G
还有一些人使用2G网络是出于工作需要，别无他选。悉尼一家医院的一位不愿意透露姓名的职业治疗师称，当医生进行家庭问诊时，医院为他们提供的就是仅支持2G网络的诺基亚手机。
这位女治疗师称：“出于隐私方面的原因，给患者打电话时，我们不能使用自己的手机。我们并不经常使用这些2G手机，只是需要时才使用。”
这位女治疗师还称，许多医院仍继续使用诺基亚手机的另一个原因可能是出于成本考虑。她说：“公共医疗系统的资金已经很紧张，如果不是损坏到无法使用，他们也不想进行这笔没必要的投资。”
对于医生而言，如果能为他们提供功能更加丰富的设备，自然大有帮助。这位治疗师称，即使是3G手机也大有裨益，如使用其GPS功能。因此，这位治疗师在工作中偶尔也会用到自己的智能手机。
她说：“工作中，经常需要对患者家庭信息进行更新。有时，我需要用自己的智能手机进行拍照，这是2G手机所做不到的。要是能配备一部iPad，那就更好了。”
总体而言，医生们对医院提供的2G手机还是比较满意的，但也存在一些抱怨。很多人表示，由于已经习惯于使用智能手机，现在反而有些忘记如何使用传统诺基亚手机了。这就好像习惯于开车出行，对自行车反而有些陌生了。
在工作和休息之间划清界限
安东尼(Antony)是悉尼一位律师，出于工作需要，最近刚刚购买了一部iPhone 5s。在此之前，他一直使用一款2G诺基亚手机，售价约20澳元。
他一直没有使用智能手机是因为不想被移动互联网过多地打扰。他说：“我不想总是收到工作邮件，所以我就不用手机上网。我不想‘永远在线’，我自制能力比较差。”
安东尼还称，使用传统功能型手机能让他在工作和休息之间有一个清晰的界限。同事们都知道，他在午夜是不会回复电子邮件的。
安东尼说：“我之前还有一部更老的手机，结果被同事扔掉了。可我还是不想用智能手机，结果又去买了一部2G手机。”当然，安东尼也并不是“老古董”，他工作时使用笔记本电脑，外出旅行时会带上iPad。
安东尼也承认，支持互联网连接的智能手机有时确实能带来方便。他说：“像地图这样的应用就很实用。与过去相比，我想在也不是特别排斥互联网了。”
个人隐私很重要
贾耐·斯盖芙(Jahnine Skaif)在悉尼从事保险追偿业务，她使用的也是2G手机，主要是出于隐私考虑，因为她不想被过多地打扰。
斯盖芙当前使用的一款三星2G手机，她说：“我不想被过多地打扰。我对手机功能的要求很简单，只要能快速、有效地与外界沟通即可。我最喜欢使用短信，我不使用表情符号，也不会长时间通话。”
斯盖芙还称，她十分重视个人隐私，不想让别人知道自己在哪里，不想让别人追踪自己的动态。
当然，外出时斯盖芙也会偶尔使用自己的另一部手机iPhone 4，主要用来查看地图，或在其他紧急情况下使用。大部分时间，她还是使用2G手机。
除了保险业务，斯盖芙还从事音乐旅游(以音乐活动为主要内容的旅游)的代理工作。旅游期间，斯盖芙还会向艺术家们提供一些2G手机(斯盖芙拥有许多部2G手机)，以便让他们找到自己。
她说：“我不用智能手机，意味着他们无法通过Facebook或WhatsApp找到我。”
此外，传统的2G智能手机也有自己的优势。斯盖芙说：“它很小巧，我就是喜欢。我真不明白，为什么有那么多人把半个iPad大的手机贴在脸上打电话？”
