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

Vanas · Post by **Vanas** » 2005-11-25 01:50pm

I have a... uh... phone.

I hardly use it, but it generally works. I belive it has many features, but I only really use the text and phonecall ones.

Call me old-fashioned, but I have a phone to phone people. If I want a camera, I'll buy a camera.

I find the camera handy as I like to take pictures, and it saves me carrying my proper camera around everywhere and risking it getting damaged. Now I only need it when I want really good pictures.

Quoted for accuracy. I have a Nokia 3310 which rarely gets used as anything other than a phone.

Motorola Razr, black. So, so shiny. And expensive as fuck. I could have bought an Xbox 360 core system for how much I paid for the damn phone.

That said, I still love the thing, not just because of the shininess, but the looks you can get from people when you pull it out.

That look, by the way, is people thinking "Haha, you got ripped off!"

Doubtless this is true. But, to me at least, it's more than balanced by all the barely concealed jealousy that my peers are filled with.

The RAZR doesn't even look that good after a quick Google search. *shrug*

My phone is the kind that you press in numbers and it lets you talk to people. And stuff.

In seriousness, I have an AudioVOX 8910 Camera Phone. Apparently I'm the only one with that brand of phone. But it works well enough for me and while the pictures aren't the greatest, they do work for me in the rare instance I need to take them.

I can also talk for 160 minutes between battery charges.

Not that I'd need to, but it's nice to know it's there.

Mine's a Sendo something or other. I really don't know what model it is and in all honesty I don't care too much. It lets me talk to people and, when I feel machoistic for some reason, send text messages. It has a really, really shitty built in camera though, I know that much.

Black V3 RAZR. It's more than decent for what you can get in America outside of Chinatown - in reflection I should have bought a phone from there or taken one over from Hong Kong since a 750i would also make me happy - but the RAZR's ability to fit in any type of pocket without bludging it should not be underestiminated.

I personally would wait for the V3x 3G RAZR instead of getting the old one with the VGA camera and all that, but then it all depends on money. Please recall that with a service plan you could probably get the phone free. I got mine for $250 but with service, of course

I own one of those cheap prepaid Virgin Mobile phones. Specifically the Nokia Shorty model. It does what I need to for the most part, so I'm fine with it.

Same here. I have a Kyocera K7 Rave. The only reason I still have it is because it has a powerful flashlight on it.

Some sort of Samsung. I like it, even if the maximum-setting 'thermonuclear-blast' ring is a little underwhelming...

GuppyShark · Post by **GuppyShark** » 2005-11-25 07:26pm

Nokia 3200. Notable features: Transparent case, cheap as fuck, flashlight.

I'm planning to upgrade to a Nokia N70 when the telco I work for launches 3G so I'm current on all the features.

MSN Messenger on your phone!

Kyocera makes mobiles...?
Who knew...

Anyways, I have a Sony Ericsson T610, and my company bestowed a Nokia 6230i on me. I may get a new personal mobile, as I can extend my contract. I'd like to have the Nokia Communicator, but it doesn't support UMTS, which is kinda unfortunate. I may wait for the Sony Ericsson P990i...

DarkSilver · Post by **DarkSilver** » 2005-11-25 07:33pm

Sony Ericsson z500a

but I want to switch to Sprint/Nextel and get one of those walkie talkie phones....seeing as most of my friends have the walkie talkie phones.

Kamakazie Sith · Post by **Kamakazie Sith** » 2005-11-25 07:55pm

It has a decent battery, and a camera. I wouldn't call the camera decent, but I hardly ever use it so it's a nice bonus for those times when you need some kind of camera.

Here are the specifications;

Dimensions: 3.25" x 1.75" x 0.9".
Weight: 3.1 oz.
Continuous digital talk time: up to 3.5 hours.*
Standby Time: up to 200 hours.*
Color: Silver.
Main Display: 128 x 160, TFT, 65K color display.
Mode: Dual Band (900/1900 MHz).
Wireless Protocol: GSM.
Service Provider: T-Mobile.

*Please Note: Standby and talk times will vary depending on phone usage patterns and conditions. Battery power consumption depends on factors such as network configuration, signal strength, operating temperature, features selected, vibrate mode, backlight settings, browser use, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and other application usage patterns.

RAZR V3 and a Nokia 8210. Am waiting for significant imode coverage and service before even considering a new one.

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2005-11-25 10:48pm

The V3 is really pretty appalling for the price: crap internal memory, crap processor, crap camera, crap software, crap battery. In AU the coverage and sound quality is good, though, and I'm just so fucking superficial I love it anyway.

Flash has a Nokia... the newish symbian one. I think its a 3230 or something? Nice phone.

Flash · Post by **Flash** » 2005-11-26 12:18am

Yeah, it's a 3230. One of these:

I love it. The battery lasts ages, nice big bright screen, and the sound quality is pretty good. It's got a decent camera in it as well (well, for a phone).

Motorola V180

(Not mine, but a stock photo. But I even have the same color shell piece so it might as well be)

Now I know why the Razr sounded familier, worked with it all summer.

Post by **Gandalf** » 2005-11-26 05:02am

NEC 340i.

It's a decent phone, and due to contract, I've got it for another 18 months.

Dorsk 81 · Post by **Dorsk 81** » 2005-11-26 05:24am

I've got a Nokia 7250i, before that I had a 3310, but someone broke its screen by sitting on my lap when it was in my pocket, hence the upgrade. Before that I had a 3210, which I loved, I used to own Snake on that thing, but the screen on that one went too, without anyone sitting on it though.

Treo 650

...but now I'm thinking of getting the PPC-6700.

Drooling Iguana · Post by **Drooling Iguana** » 2005-11-26 03:49pm

Sony Ericsson T237, which came free with my contract. It's decent enough, I suppose, but nothing particularily flashy.
