Cell Phones

Son_of_Thunder · Jul 12, 2005, 08:09 AM

I just got my first cell phone and I'm already being brainwashed by it. It's a Samsung PM-A740 camera phone and I'm using Sprint.

Here's my phone: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/details.php?id=911

What cell phone/service do you guys have?

Same here, most of my friends/family have cell phones, so I see no real need for me to get one, as I can just use their's if there's an emergency.

And in most of the places here that are really out in the wilderness, where cell phones would be the most use, there's no cell phone coverage anyway.

1.5 MB of memory?

That's not a lot, but hey, what gets the job done, right?

Motorola V300 for me on T-Mobile.. gotta love seem editing and everything with Motos!

Modded my V300 like hell..

and i don't really see the need for video recording and stuff in phones, i mean, it's only a phone..camera is enough for me, though not necessary at all

So, how good are your camera phones?

Here's some examples of mine:

The first one is from before I realized that I could use the exterior screen to line up a self portrait.

Asmoday · Jul 13, 2005, 02:56 PM

I have a Sony Ericsson K700i, had it for little more than a year now. And it works really good, and the standby time is awesome!

Logla · Jul 13, 2005, 03:10 PM

I've got a Samsung D500 on o2 on which my employer pays for all my calls.

El Kapitano · Jul 13, 2005, 07:14 PM

Samsung D500 and Nokia 6230i both on Orange and both business phones and paid for by my employers.

In the cupboard, Nokia 6310i, 6230, 6630, 5210, 3510 (Yuck), 8310, 8910 (Matrix revisited) and a couple of crappy motorola flips.

Currently eyeing up a Nokia N91 but I'll wait for reviews 1st as I think Nokia quality is slipping after the hassle I had with the original 6230 (not the i).

I've got a sidekick2.

For me I use alternate forms of communication over talking on the phone. I prefer aim/email to talking. I'm pretty much on aim 24/7 so I have unlimited data plan. My phone plan only gives me 60 anytime minutes and I never even use half of them
