POLL: The Great Cellphone Poll

Remove all ads!

Yeahm the very same. A much over-rated phone. Everyone thinks they are the dogs bollocks but really, they aren't. My mate has a Sony Eriksson k750i and it's miles better than my D500.

 

It's so funny listening (well, reading) to you guys showing off about your fancy dandy mobile phones. They're just telephones, people!

 

Actually, they are beginning to be more and more like PC's extensions. TV, radio, mp3, alarm, calculator, etc... Even though most of these features are redundant, it's the only way for the industry to develope and thus keep the prices profitable.

 

I think I've got the best phone because:
a) I can send and receive calls
b) it cost me negative $100 (i.e. the phone company paid me $100 to take it off their hands)

 

I agree with Wirhe.

Being freed from telemarketers, surveyers and all that bull**** is a peace of mind that I wouldn't give up for anything in the world. And besides, it's also important to choose a phone you like, and not being stuck with a phone you hate like Barmy.

Call me weird, an idiot or a fool it if makes you feel good, HB, but I actually am a *collector* of the damn things. Some people collect stamps, some people collect insects, and I collect phones. I am always looking for more phones to add to my collection. It's my hobby.

And Barmy, good on your friend if he got a Sony Ericsson that works fine, the one my bro had was a ****ing piece of junk. They thought it was a factory defect, and they gave him another one of the same model. It was just as nightmarish. Not to mention the coverage completly sucked with this phone. As a test of some kind, I removed his SIM from the Phoney Ericsson, crammed it into my Nokia 3595, and my bro called someone. He was slack-jawed at the difference in sound quality and reception. He even offered to buy my Nok... but since my Panasonic died *tear* I prefered hanging unto it.

Let it be known across the net, that Disciple of The Watch is the official cell phone guru!

I'm still waiting for a cell phone that has a built in can of pepper spray that geared towards women. First they mace the guy, then they take his picture, then text it along with a plea for help to the cops.

 

Heh, I might not be a guru, but an aficiondo (spelling?), certainly.

The pepper spray phone... it'll come soon enough. They have, after all, dished out phones for kids... that's right. An answer/call button, an End/Power off, a limited phone book, a "Mom" button and a "Dad" button to call the parents quickly. Not to mention the unremovable battery. Free with a family plan. Whatever.

See it here

 

I have this wierd phone form "Alcatel". Have no idea what model it is,and I'm locked into Telstra...Grrr,,, Wish I could get a different mobile, mine only has the basics. No gimmicks or anything (except for three extremely gay games).

 

Blech, being locked to a carrier sucks.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, eBay is probably the best place for getting a phone. I got my Siemens off eBay, for a pretty reasonable price, and in pretty good condition too.

Just my 0.02¢.

 

Hmmm...good idea, too bad I'm broke. Ah well, it's my own fault.

 

You can find bloody ****ing good bargains there. I actually got that Siemens for a ridiculous US$5.

 

I have a Vitel TSM 30, only sell by Telefonica Movistar, which cost me 12 Euros about a year ago, it has mp3 player (I don't use that, I have a Zen Micro to hear music), a camera (I don't use that, too little pics and bad quality, I have a very nice Nokia digital camera), radio (I don't listen to radio) and lots of other things that I don't use, it only serves its purpose: call somebody, receive somebody else's calls and send/recieve SMSs.
I always wondered why somebody would want 340582 ring tones on his/her mobile or 23448 screen saver when you have your mobile most of the time in your pocket

 

Instead of Nokia 6020 I bought SonyEricsson K300i.

 

You bought a Phoney Ericsson, Undertaker?

That's taking a serious risk. Hopefully yours won't suck as my bro's did.

 

Time will tell

 

Is that the one, Undertaker?

 

Nokia 2100 . Does what it is supposed to do. And it serves as a torch as well. The battery only lasts for one day by now, though. I'll stick to it till it dies.

 

In all the time I have been into phones, Uytuun, I have never seen a Nokia dying. Hell, I still have my 232 which still works like a charm. Nokias are unkillable phones.

This reminds me of an anecdot. There is this lady who works in a trailer park, and who owns a Nokia 5165. One day, a *Two ton* trailer runs over her phone. Guess what? The phone still works! Sure, the LCD cracked, but the phone STILL WORKS after having been crushed by a TWO TONS weight. So, she calls her carrier to get a replacement. Since her term is long over, they offer her a Nokia 3595 for cheap. The lady, impressed by her phone's ability to survive crushing by a two tons weight, TURNS DOWN the 3595 and asks for ANOTHER 5165.

The moral of this story?

Nokias never die.

 

@DotW: Yes.

New gem 900 posts. Who's da man?

 

@Undertaker: That sounds like a rapper.

Best of luck, man... that was the one my brother had... they gave him a new one twice because of factory defects...
