How to keep mobile phone in pristine condition ?

[Being.smart]

See, the thing is that i have 2 Nokia mobile phone as of now

N70 > first mobile phone bought from pocket
and N95 8gb> given as gift to my dad

Both the phones are lying in my table and getting dirty day by day, every month i have to take them to change their guard, also i do recharge them regularly to keep them in best working condition.

The thing is that, i want to keep both phone throughout my life, so how can i keep it in pristine condition, i do have the boxes of both the phones.l

put them in the boxes and seal the boxes! then put the boxes in vacuum sealed pouches and store...

but what will happen, if i take the phone after 5-6 year, and try to turn it on, will it get on ???

Take out the battery and keep it separately. Battery may need to be replaced after 5-6 years.

If you stow away the phones like this, then you MUST remove battery (if possible) and keep separately.

After 5-6 years will he get the battery? World would have moved on to 4000mah+ lithium ion battery or better by then. Old school 500 or 800mah battery will be impossible to find new or used.

what if i buy brand new battery in sealed condition, and store it, will it be able to survive till then ?

Batteries have a lifespan. Their material degrades over time. And you need to charge the battery every six months or so, so that it performs well. If it discharges completely, I don't think it can be used again.

is that a sane question?

probability is ~ Zero.
