Your cellphone?
 

Well, if this had already been made some time ago, feel free to burn it in hell close it, mod.

Apparently, people out there use various types of cellphone instead of several (unlike my country, where people persist on Nokia AND Blackberry :psyduck:). Oh well. So what's yours?

Mine's a Sony Ericksson type T650. Kind of fashion cellphone :eagletear:, but I like it :3:

I recently change my cellphone and I got a Sony Ericsson w705.

I got this one mainly because I was tired of using my psp as an mp3 player and now I have more space on my psp for games :p

and Yeah I really like the style of this phone too which was a plus ;)

I got a Samsung Glyde.

I hate it, to be honest, but I got one more month with this thing and then I could upgrade to something better.

I've got an iphone. It's pretty sweet so far.

Fuck you guys and your little bullshit girly phones.

Motorola i580. Big, thick, rubberized. I can drop it off a house, run it over with my car, throw a hail mary with it and have the person I'm throwing to miss the catch, and it'll keep ticking like nothing happened. This is a good thing because I have a tendency to do all of the above.

Only thing you can't do is wash it. Okay, you can, it just won't quite work like it used to. It'll still work though! It's even got one of those fancy camera things, but I'm too busy throwing the fucking thing everywhere to bother using it.

I currently have the LG Rumour2:

Except I have the orange model, instead of the silver. It's pretty nice. Way better than the crappy thing I had before.

Only got the Razzle cause they didn't have the one I was looking for instock and I needed to get rid of that piece of shit Blackberry I had right then. I'll probably get a new one over the next few months, but I do have to say it's a little nifty phone. Keypad turns so I don't ass-dial people and get yelled at for calling people at work.

I've had the Helio [Samsung] Heat for going on three years now; my mom was sick of all the major carriers (Sprint/AT&T/Verizon) so she wanted to go with Helio, what was a little Korean-US fusion company -- which has now been absorbed by Virgin Mobile. This was their simplest phone, which was still pretty complicated for my mom thanks to the touchscreen-like control buttons >_<.

I've been trying to switch companies for half a year (and upgrade my phone in the process) except my mom wants to stay on a family plan and is chicken to change companies. And her phone hasn't been dropped 500 times... unlike mine. But it's still truckin'!

I've got the w910i, black one obviously, because at the time it was the smallest phone I could find with a 320x240 resolution display, and I needed that for the best version of Doom RPG.

Yes. I bought a new phone because of Doom RPG.

Turns out it's a Walkman phone with 1 GB free from the get go. Never thought I'd use the feature, but now I always carry my newest music around with me.

I have two phones, actually. I have a white BlackBerry Pearl that's my every day phone.

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...erry_white.jpg

It used to be black but after opening to many beer bottles and dropping it a few times, the case finally fell apart and I ordered a replacement housing on eBay that would match all my gadgets. Shit's a tank, man. I arrange my appointments, listen to music, check my email and, wouldn't you know it, I open beer bottles with it too. It has never broken down, crashed or dropped a call on me. Basically, it's been more reliable than my last 4 exes combined.

My other phone which is the one I used before my very first iPhone (which I hated) is an AT&T HTC 8125.

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...8125_print.jpg

It's not a bad phone or anything but I just keep it mostly as a backup phone and I was using it for my school line for a while. However, recently I lent it to one of my coworkers because the mic in her Tilt fried and couldn't talk to anyone so I figured she could use this instead of having to settle for some chickenshit throwaway phone. This was a great phone up until the battery bloated and bricked it. I had to flash the phone, reinstall Windows Mobile onto it and buy a new battery for it but it works again. It's also a gargantuan brick that's a far cry from my little BlackBerry.

What I want to get when I renew my contract is the BlackBerry Bold 9700.

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...-bold-9700.jpg

That's a sexy bitch, right there. Plus, I like how they removed the trackball and just put in a touch sensor. It's so much faster than my Pearl too. I'll probably get it within the next couple of months.

HAHA! My cousin has that same phone and he actually popped me with it when we got in a drunken argument over losing in Street Fighter this summer. He threw it at my head and clocked me right behind the ear, the miserable fuck. He then picked up the phone, called his brother for a ride to pick him and then he went home. My head took more damage than that phone ever did.

I also have an iPhone 3G

I bought it because my status as a yuppie white person with no taste in anything wasn't 100% formed yet. I wanted to make sure everyone knew that I only buy things because they are cool, not because they are functional or practical for my lifestyle. I put no thought into buying this phone, because as a fan of Apple products, my brain is automatically wired to purchase Apple products without a moment's hesitation, despite the fact that all Apple products are stupid and/or for fags.

I am very pleased with the phone. The apps are a huge plus, and I'm always impressed by the seamless interoperability between playing music and taking/making phone calls. This, however, could be a reactionary move brought upon by my blind lust for all that Steve Jobs (my hero) does. One could attribute all of my positive feelings towards the iPhone a mere byproduct of my virulent strain of hipsterfagdom, a common disease for Mac users to carry.

I would only recommend buying this phone if you're a dumb stupid fag like me.

The LG Cookie. It's a nice enough phone and I got it on an extremely cheap contract, so it's in my care for 24 months. It was chosen mostly because I got a hueg memory card with it, so it could replace my endless stream of cheap mp3 players that tended to break just after the warranty ran out.

Add me to the stupid-babies-who-only-own-Apple-hardware-because-it's-shiny-and-in-no-way-technologically-impressive-and-highly-useful crowd.

God I hate my iPhone 3G. It's not a nice piece of kit at all. I only own one so I can show it off at Starbucks (and use it to store the entire Coldplay discography). Here's hoping a new model comes out in the summer colours; I'd hate to be unfashionable.

Really? I think it's quite sweet. My friend got one and I think it's a very practical cellphone with lots of useful features. I always love Apple and if I could afford it, I would purchase it at the first place.

Though I hate touch screens for some reasons...

http://www.bio-hazardous.com/scrap/iphone.jpg

I got mine cheap cause it was the last of the 8GB ones. I was on AT&T anyway, so meh. Why not.

I basically just use it for the music... cause carrying a Zen around with me wasn't going to happen.

I currently have a Nokia N97.

http://nokiafanboy.com/wp-content/up...-hands-002.jpg

(That's not my one by the way)

It's a pretty awesome phone. The active home screen is a joy to use and the RSS feed viewer in particular is a top thing to have on the home screen. I have the three active slots set for Facebook, an RSS feed of Edge Online and a weather website, although I change the third one every week or so.

As you'd expect from a company that's been making web-enabled phones for at least ten years now, browsing is a joy and actually, for just looking things up it works quicker than my laptop. I've not really put much of a dent in the 8gb storage it has as I carry an ipod for music and photos just aren't that big, although the camera is pretty decent. The touch screen is the first I've used that I like and although when I got it I thought I'd mainly be using the full qwerty keyboard for messaging, the touchscreen keyboard is so easy to use I rarely use the flip now.

The email integration is rubbish compared to a Blackberry but it's ok for casual use but overall, you can't really beat Nokias for ease of use and functionality. The only thing I don't like about it is the battery life is a bit poor, it needs charging every three days or so plus if you put it in your pocket, even locked it flashes up a message to unlock it every time something touches the screen which runs the battery down even faster. A small gripe though on an otherwise top phone. I honestly don't believe there is a better phone currently available.

I've got a crappy little Samsung brick that I can't really be bothered looking up the model number for. But it works fine for what I need it for which is exclusively calling people and texting.

My whole family has migrated to iPhones now but I guess I never saw the point of having, essentially, a laptop in one's phone unless you're doing a fair amount of business or travel.

A lady's blackberry :tpg:.


http://www.wrei.org/images/blackberry-curve-8900.jpg

Anyway, the girlfriend got me a blackberry curve when a couple of months ago, because she thought it would fit with my snobby business student attitude :tpg:. I took me some time getting used to the keyboard because I'm more familiar with the touch screen typing of an Ipod touch, but I love it. Mailing is excellent, and the messenger service is just what you need during a boring class (15 people in our class have a blackberry, so we tend to lose focus quite often). The bold looks great, but I've heard some complaints about the touch sensor, so I'm glad that Ilse got me this one.

Why do I hear Final Fantasy battle music in my head looking at the screen of that phone in that picture. Seriously it's like a FF7 theme setting or something. WHich is kind of cool I guess. Sorta wanted a phone like that but all they had at verizon was a floor model. :\

Ha ha, I actually have the FFVII victory theme as the ringtone for a couple of my mates.

Maybe in your grog-swilling post-op country. Here in Gringoland, bitches don't own BlackBerrys because "its 2 complicatd". iPhone is the way to go for tech-illiterate bitches. (sup sprout)

I actually see women carrying nothing but Blackberries here on the east coast, even the stupid ones.

oodles of cool phones. im currently using a classical phone, nokia 3110c. lolz... sounds im a lil bit outdated

I have a Motorola DROID.

It's Android, so it has all of the features of the iPhone with none of the fit and finish or usability, but with more customizability and the dork cred that open source provides.

It's basically a phone for people who want to have thousands of useless little features on their cell phone but won't be caught dead outside with an Apple product.

(But I love the damn thing with all my heart!)

So I'm due for an upgrade in the next month. Should I even consider this phone at all?

I'm curious as to see if this phone has any outstanding problems as of yet.

That depends on what you use on your phones. If you enjoy smartphone features then by all means get this. Android maqy not be quitw caught up withb iphone OS, but it is getting there. My only gripe is with the physical keyboard... the fact they fit it into a phone this thin is astounding but it is so flat it is impossible to toucbh type.

It is expensive but unlike the iphone it FEELS expensive in the hand.

This post was a bitch to type on it.

I own a Motorola W260g
http://www.aboutcellulars.com/wp-con...g-tracfone.gif
makes/recieves calls with a few texts here and there. I'm not cool and/or crazy enough to put down nearly a grand for a modern phone.

But nobody actually pays for a phone do they?

Handsets are always, always free, unless you're an idiot and get a pay as you go one, in which case the extra money you spend on credit rather than having a contract suggests you're made of money anyway.

Either that or you just like unlimited data and don't plan on talking very much.

I don't see your logic. How is Pay as you Go better in that case? Surely a cheap contract with an unlimited data add-on, given that'll you'll get a free top of the range phone when you sign up is a better option?

Phones are not always free. You may always have a free option, but there's plenty of phones that cost money with contract. Droid is 200 with, 580 without, for example.

I'm fairly sure we had this discussion previously and we told you the same thing Merv just did. Overseas perhaps, but here in America a majority of handsets need to be purchased at a subsidized price. The only phones that are free are the very basic ones.

Actually you're right, you can't get a Motorola Milestone (As the Droid is called here) for free but only because it's not available from any providers direct, you have to buy the handset seperately at the moment. They were supposed to be available on T-Mobile but they're not listed on their website yet.

Never the less, you shouldn't ever pay for a handset. If you see one you like and a provider is trying to charge you for it, you simply ring a competitor and tell them the deal the other was offering, then ring back the original ones with the counter deal. You should never, ever accept the first deal you're offered with mobile phones, play a couple of companies off against each other and I can guarantee you'll get any handset you want for free and probably pay far below the listed contract price.

The N97 I've got is supposed to be £200 with a contract and Three tried to charge me that so I rang Vodafone, asked if they'd give me a free one, they said yes so I rand Three back, told them I was leaving and they counter-offered me a free handset.

Seriously, don't ever pay for a phone.

Edit: I think we did, Sprout, but I still think you shouldn't be paying and I reckon with a bit of phoning around you could get what you want free over there too.

It's unfortunately not that easy. With Berries maybe, but many phones (and nearly all of the high-profile ones) are locked down to certain carriers over here. I read about a lawsuit or something that's being thrown at the FCC that would make phone/carrier exclusivity a thing of the past. Google's Nexus One is starting to pave the way for the much sought-after "any carrier you want" thing, allowing you to buy it unlocked for a premium, or subsidized from T-Mobile and soon Verizon.

Well when you buy a phone here they're normally operator-locked (Although it's a piece of piss to unlock them, nomore than five minutes on Google) but most operators sell most phones. I guess exclusivity costs too much for the operators to bother. Either that or the phone makers themselves prefer their phones to be more widely available. As such, there are three or four people stocking each of the current best phones available so it's very easy to play them off.

I'm on pay-as-you-go on O2 with my iPhone. As long as I have credit, I have unlimited data. I inherited the handset from my brother, but 3G iPhones aren't hugely expensive on ebay.

If I had opted for a contract I'd be locked into paying at least £1000. I doubt having this phone will cost me more than £50 a year with top-ups.

Fair enough, if you can get given the phone then Pay as you Go isn't quite such a bad option. I still maintain that if you're having to buy the handset a contract is cheaper in the long run.

Yeah, Shin, the big thing about phones here is that a lot of times you have to pick a carrier and then pick one of their phones, whereas in Europe it works the opposite way. Over here the carriers have no reason to try to get you the phone for free because they know if you want the phone you HAVE to go to them anyway.

That's why the basic sets ARE free, because those tend to be the ones multiple carriers have.

Ah, in which case I apologise for my naivite, I assumed the business model worked the same way there as here.

It's interesting that no company has picked up the Milestone yet actually. In general I couldn't really find any carriers touting Motorolas so perhaps the brand as a whole is out of favour here at the moment or something, or they're between deals. Either that or each carrier is limiting themselves to a couple or so smart-phones to avoid stock obsolescence.

I've still got my G1. Fuck yeah Android. Though I don't use the stock firmware. Been running Cyanogenmod for a while now.

Still, it's getting a bit dated. I'd like to get a DROID, but fuck Verizon, so I'm considering a Nexus One.

Not that I have money.

I intend to use mine for as long as possible. It's a Palm Treo 650:

https://images.jiwire.com/images/rev...front-back.jpg
A good old fashion TANKING smartphone, which is great because I drop it often and it's virtually unbreakable. I love it because it's so easy to keep track of my schedule and integrates well with everything else in my daily life. I don't text that often, but I do like having a keyboard that's actually easy to type. Mine's an old hand-me-down from a friend, but I don't foresee myself replacing it unless it dies and/or the battery on it explodes and it costs me more to replace the battery than to buy a new phone.

I love it because it does SO WELL in preserving its battery life. My boyfriend has the Palm Treo 680, which is the next model up, but his runs out of battery life twice as fast than mine.

It won't. When I had to replace the battery on my HTC I just looked for a replacement on eBay and I found a seller that sold me a battery/home charger/car charger package for a little over $10.

I have the Sony Ericsson W980:

http://tech-faq.phonedog.com/r/c/984...75-250x275.jpg

It's a walkman phone with 8gb of memory. I don't care much for the mp3 playing ability, I just wanted a clam shell phone that looked good and wasn't to thick.

Add another Sony Ericsson user to the pile:
http://www.att-cellphones.org/wp-con...on_w760a_1.jpg

The Sony Ericsson W760a. It wasnt exactly what I wanted when I went for a new phone, but I had it in my heart to get a sliding phone, so I picked it up. I've really grown to like it since then. No additional memory cards, dont really use it to play music or anything like that. The few times I have, the qualities been surprisingly good.

Been using an old Razr for a while now and am happy with it. The battery was getting really weak a few months ago, and I asked myself what I’d want in a new cell phone. Got a new battery instead. :D

And another Sony Ericsson:

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/4162/1517y.jpg

I have a Sony Ericsson K770i.
It supposed to be my mother's new mobile phone, but she gave it to me instead. I really like its bright display - no problems with reflections either! You can see everything without problems... even on the sunniest day!

http://i47.tinypic.com/mhvo6p.jpg

I use a Samsung Rogue. It's a nice phone, has plenty of bells and whistles, and it has an actual keyboard which was a must for me getting any sort of touchscreen phone.

Kinda kicking myself for not holding out for a few months for the Droid phones on Verizon, but my old phone was all sorts of dead so I had to get something.

Seeing these, I should've made a poll instead a regular bumpy thread...oh well...

There are surprisingly lots of people here using Ericksson :tpg:

Nokia, go to hell (diss this if you disagree^^)
