Do you own a cell-phone? If so, what kind?

His Divine Shadow · Post by **His Divine Shadow** » 2005-11-25 08:23am

Me, I own a Sony Ericsson T300, an ugly piece of shit but it works.

Previously I owned a 3330, and before that 3210 and before that a 1610.

What I would like to upgrade to is this:

I'm just waiting for the price to go down.

How about you?

A Nokia 3100 and I'm happy.

A Sony Ericsson z500a, and I can't wait to replace it.

I own an LG VX3200 (way more link than you really need.) It has the benefit of doing one thing extremely well . . . i.e. being a phone with some other personal organizer things and basic tools. Don't need that camera crap (in fact, as I work at a site that does defense and export-controlled business, cameras aren't permitted without manager approval and a form from Security,) MP3s, games, or any of those other 32,768 ways cellphone companies have invented to waste obscene amounts of user time.

Being horribly superficial, I have a Motorola V3. Because it's sexy. So very sexy.

And slow. And uses appalling software to sync with my PC. And now days every bastard has one!

Hey... I used to have an old SE 300 too.

Sony Ericsson z600. It looks decent and it does well what it has to do.

Though seeing that V3, I may consider an early upgrade

[Trekkie]Can you flip it open, TOS-style ?[/Trekkie]

Before that, it was an ancient brick with a single-line monochrome display and a huge plastic antenna. A Siemens something-or-other hand-me-down in vomit-green

A blue one.

It's a Nokia 3310, I think. I've had it for five years or something, maybe more. I don't use it very much.

A little blue Nokia, with a colour screen.
I'm trying to upgrade for free, especially since a friend of mine got a RAZR v3 for free

My phone is a LG VX6100 which one thing for sure has a really crappy camera on it compared to others. Also I'm not sure about other phones but this one also likes to be easily nicked just by hitting it on a hard surface.

Lord of the Farce · Post by **Lord of the Farce** » 2005-11-25 10:33am

I used to use a Nokia 6610 (not 6610i, which has a camera). But recently, I brought myself the O2 Xphone II Smartphone. A pretty good phone with a lot of nice features (even if it takes almost a minute to startup from complete power off) especially since I got it, a Motorola HS850 bluetooth headset, a good quality protective cover for the screen, as well as a 128MB miniSD card, for about AUD$450.

Admiral Valdemar · Post by **Admiral Valdemar** » 2005-11-25 10:37am

An O2 X1i, only cheap and slightly smaller than my old trusty Nokia 3310. My bro is on contract though and has three phones, all Sony-Ericsson of which one will be mine someday when he bothers to bring one down. His new one has a funky flight simulator on it and a 2 megapixel camera.

I have a LG VX6000. Decent phone. Nice MIDI playback for a number of MIDIs I've uploaded onto the phone.

Picture quality for the camera is hit-and-miss. Sometimes it takes really good pictures, sometimes it takes really crappy ones. Good lighting seems to make all the difference in the world.

It's an older phone, though. Limited to 20 pictures at a time. 1.5 megs of total storage.

As time has passed, it's gotten harder to get reception in my own home. Though other places work great. There's this really weird problem where if I receive a call at my house, I'm likely to drop the call within 15 seconds. Then, while sitting in the same spot, I can call back the person and talk as long as I want with no problem.

Motorola V600 - I'm trying not to upgrade mine for a while, I reckon that getting a new phone every time I've had a contract for a year isn't exactly the most sensible thing in the world when there isn't much wrong with the one I've got. It rings people, it has games I never play and a camera I never use, I see little point in upgrading to get a bunch of other features I'll never use.

That said, it's wearing down after just over a year and a half. Don't make em like they used to.

InnocentBystander · Post by **InnocentBystander** » 2005-11-25 11:54am

An LG UX3200, I had to take out the battery to find this out. It's the worst phone I've had, calls drop commonly, it's battery life leaves much to be desired, and it has basically no features, save a calendar and calculator.

Admiral Valdemar · Post by **Admiral Valdemar** » 2005-11-25 12:10pm

HDS: Don't bother with the Razr unless you really want something that looks good but has shit features. The new black and pink ones add nothing but a different fascia for more money and they are overpriced for what you get as it is.

Nokia 6101. Its great.

Glocksman · Post by **Glocksman** » 2005-11-25 12:48pm

I went through several GSM phones trying to find the ideal one with a loud (I'm hard of hearing) earpiece and ring volume and good reception and battery life.

Ones I've tried and didn't like:
Motorola V180
Motorola V220

Ones I liked but sold because I have too many phones:
Nokia 3595
Ericsson t39

Ones I still have:
Nokia 6010
Nokia 1100
Ericsson t28
Motorola V551
Samsung x427m
Motorola C195

The Nokia 3595 and 6010 are basically the same phone and were ideal except that I prefer a flip. If you need a solid inexpensive basic bar phone, look no further than these Nokias.

The Nokia 1100 is small for a bar phone but lacks the loud volume and ringtones of its bigger brothers, but it has a flashlight built in.

The Samsung x427m is a far better basic flip than the Moto v180 or v220.
Also, unlike Motorola, Samsung has their PC sync software available as a free download.

The Moto V551 isn't as small as the Samsung, but it has more features, decent earpiece volume, and a bigger color display coupled with an outside LCD caller ID display.

The Moto C195 is a Mexican market (telcel) phone that I got for dirt cheap from a guy on fleabay after some hassle and works OK.
It's about as small as the Nokia 1100.

Anyone needs a phone, make me an offer.

I've got a Motorola V300. When I got it I was thinking that I'd use the camera phone option, but I hardly ever do. The one feature it does have that I really like is the voice-dial feature. I don't know how common this feature is now, as I haven't looked at phones lately. Sooner or later I'll drop this one in a toilet. Then it's on, baby.

I think what I'd like most is less features and more connectivity and battery life.

Sony Ericsson K750i. Quite pleased with it.
