Mobile Phones

[man 430gt]

I thought i would just see what phones you guys here have, the thought crossed my mind to make the thread because hopefully i will be getting my nokia 6260 tomarrow (at long last! :rolleyes:
So what phones do you guys have and what do you think of them?

[johnnynumfiv]

I have one of these, http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/1100, simple, small, and the battery lasts a week- two weeks when I don't use it that much.

[:Exige:]

I dont have a mobile .. payphones are far cheaper and I normally use Skype to talk to friends at home.

[Quiggs]

LG VX6000, it's old but it does more than I need it to.

Hmmm i've heard of that, just wondering how could i sign up for it? :confused:

[LTT]

I got some kind of Keyocera (sp?) piece of crap. Getting a new one at the start of July though. Maybe one with a camera in it.

[P3RG4R3C]

Motorola E365. Quite nice.http://www.danielbowen.com/images/2004/0212-phone.jpg

[Rockefella]

true. i use it to speak to my brother in portugal. we use msn to see each other.
its far better than phone and much much cheaper (free)

[ScionDriver]

Samsung A650, I like it a lot, but I have only had it like 3 or 4 days. My old Keyocera was crap.

[SPHFerrari]

Lg Vx6000

Yeah .. free to to other Skype users and something like 1p a minute to any phone in the world.

Sony Ericsson T230. No camera but is sweet in every other way. A breeze to use, light as a feather (88 grams) and lasts very long on a single battery charge!

[85RX7]

Hyundai tx115, the phones r probably better than the cars to be honest:p

[Misho]

i have a Sony Ericsson T630. thats the newer version of ZeTurbo's T610. looks quite similar to it though.
like any phone, its got its pros and cons, overall i'd say im happy with it so far.

[Egg Nog]

I'm proud to say that I don't have/want a cell phone. Paying for a self-inflicted tracking device is not my style ;)

[mechanixfetch]

Samsung A540 it came with my 3 year contract to telus

[henk4]

I'm proud to say that I don't have/want a cell phone. Paying for a self-inflicted tracking device is not my style ;)

I have a four year old Motorola Timeport/Triband, which can be used both in North America as well in the rest of the world. I use it when I want to make a phone call. 99% of the time it is switched off :D .

[man 430gt]

Just wanna say i finally got my 6260 so i'll be posting pictures of it hopefully:D:D:D!!!

[2ndclasscitizen]

ive got a nokia 2100 that has been dropped at least once a day for nearly 2 years and has the buttons taped in

You know Henk, switching off doesn't help... :D

I myself have an old Nokia 2100. Simple and robust, no unnecessary gizmos or flashy displays. It is a phone.
I fear the day I have to replace it for modern multi-media-blue-tooth-dolby-surround device....

[6'bore]

Here is my phone.

[ZeTurbo]

Yeah .. free to to other Skype users and something like 1p a minute to any phone in the world.
if its computer to computer its free.
if its computer to a home or cell phone you have to pay, but it is still ridiculously inexpensive compared to overseas rates offered by most telecomunication companies.

[Lagonda]

I've got a T630.

[man 430gt]

Looks like alot of ppl have the T630, oh btw guys my mum has tht phone:p

[danno]

i have the t610 cause it was cheap.

[silverhawk]

VX7000 got it for my 16th. Its really nice but as many of you all have said does way more then I need it to do. Glad I got it though.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Buying a Sony Ericsson T630 (Facelifted T610)

Currently Nokia 2100, On It's 8th Cover.

I keep sitting on them and they break....:(

[whiteballz]

im still happy with my nokia 2600, its un f**king breakable. which is a major plus in my lifestyle :D

a great trick, put coloured paper under the keypad between the pad and the sensor dots on the phone, the keypad lights up the same colour as the paper:D mines pink :P :D

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Thats the budget way to change to colour of the lights on your phone.....

The better way is with CelloPhane.....:p

[whiteballz]

i duno
i tried it
it didnt look as clear.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Perhaps it works better when your phone has white lights, like mine does.

[whiteballz]

i have white lights :P its just too white underneath the pad. so it turns more peach.

[Spastik_Roach]

My old brick was un-f*cking-breakable. Yuo could do anything to it and it just wouldn't die.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I know, i had some old Motorola (VZ768 or something) and i literally had to drop it off a 3 story building to get even remotely close to killing it. IT STILL WORKED!

[whiteballz]

thats sweet.

mine might break from 3 storys...

but ive landed on it heaps from stacking my bike...

[jcp123]

I have a Kyocera KE433. It's old, the keypad is somewhat out of commission thanks to having been dropped. But it has a cool blue backlight, and it does everything I need it to: make calls and do text messaging. I only hope they have phones that simple when I have to replace it...

[IBrake4Rainbows]

They do.

And the good thing is; their nice and cheap now..... :p

[jcp123]

They do.

And the good thing is; their nice and cheap now..... :p

Exactly :D

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Literally, you can get a motorola C201, black and white screen, Text Messaging and recieve and make calls, all for $49 Australian.

thats like $35 US!

[Delmaster]

mine is a Nokia 6230 http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,47665,00.html which really satisfies me

before I had a Siemens MC60 which I didn't really like

[rusty-21]

i have a lg u8110 its alright phone but only on 3 and to be honest they r not very good services and my phone keeps freezin and turning itself off at the mo so not very good really anyone else have the same problem with their lg? tell me plz

[Misho]

they give u a similar phone for free in Canada. well, when u sign up for a mobile phone service.
thats not much when converted to US !!

[Rockefella]

My damn phone is malfunctioning on me. (Motorola V180) 2/3 of the time when I flip open the phone the screen is all black and it takes me a few tries to close and re-open the phone for the screen to work.

some friends of mine have the same problem with different Motorolas

[Esperante]

Just got a Kyocera SoHo. Not a bad phone really. So new I haven't used it yet! :p

[Rockefella]

some friends of mine have the same problem with different Motorolas
Yeah, happened to my sister's V600 twice already. :( I think I'll send a HUGE complaint to motorola talking about how our phones are always breaking with them and I will never consider buying a phone from them without some kind of compensation for a better phone. (AKA. Motorola V3 Razr.) (http://direct.motorola.com/ens/web_producthome.asp?Country=USA&language=ENS&productid=29302)

same happens to me with my lg the screen is all multicoloured and fuzzy.
:( oh well at least its colourful! lol

That sounds about right for me :D

[Spastik_Roach]

I consider new Motorolas to be POS's. Too many fiddly openy thingymabobs, means if you pull one a wee bit too hard all hell can and will break loose.

[Widsinator]

Don't know if I agree with you on the new motorola's I'm really satisfied with mine, plus you can mod the software quite easily. I have mine custom modfied, such as complete cingular debranding, unlocking all the features cingular blocks, and some motorola does, custom skins, free games, ringtones and wallpapers. And unlimited sizes for MMS. See www.motomodders.com for details.

I envy you...

Where do you live? What hours are you away from the house? Where do you keep your spare key? :D

[fa22_raptor]

I've got a PDA phone thingy. It's the Hewlett-Packard H6365. It's got a LOT of connectivity options: GSM, GPRS, IrDa, Bluetooth and WiFi (aka. Wireless networking). I've also expanded its 64MB of memory with a 512MB SD card. Anyway, the lowdown is that it's awesome, but not as powerful as other PDAs (because it needs to conserve battery because it doubles as a phone).

And you really need all that wireless connecting and such? :rolleyes: :)

[whiteballz]

do you really need an off-roading porshe?

[fa22_raptor]

And you really need all that wireless connecting and such? :rolleyes: :)
Do you need anything more than a basic phone? No, not really but everything extra's nice. Besides, I have a wireless network at home and at school, so it's handy.

[jcp123]

Yeah, see, that's the kinda thing I find a little over the top. If it can make a phone call, that's basically all I ask of it. I only ever use it for emergency calls or the occasional text anyway, so if it's just tucked away in a bag on the back floorboard of my car, I think I'd rather have an occasionally used $35 phone than an equally occasionally used $400 mini-computer that I woudn't be able to figure out anyway.

But I suppose if I were a salesman where I was often out on the road, and connectivity was critical, yet I wanted to pack light that that kind of thing might hold a certain appeal.

[RS6]

I have a phone which is old, cracked and featureless. Do I care? Not really. I only use it to call and text so I don't see the need to replace it. It is a Siemens M50 btw.

[Misho]

It is a Siemens M50 btw.

the "btw" is the best model in the M50 range.

a collector's edition i beleive.

[Blitz_]

i finally got my sony ercisson k700i, kicks ass and it shut the flip fone boys up straight away when they saw all the features and the ridiculous comparison in build quality.

[silverhawk]

raptor your PDA is amazing. my dad had an ericsson T320 which is the same as S Roach's. in january he went to pakistan & lost it somewhere in the airport so he bought some Samsung mobile but turned out to be a POS so he returned & bought another T320.

[ZeTurbo]

i finally got my sony ercisson k700i, kicks ass and it shut the flip fone boys up straight away when they saw all the features and the ridiculous comparison in build quality.
yet... that is a pretty sweet phone dude, basically a better model of mine. can you do video?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Just picked up my T630.

Lovely in Liquid Black, i'm being cheap with wallpapers by taking pictures using the camera of Photos from Magazines........
