What mobile do you own?

[TRigga 007]

What mobile phone do you own? What is the feature you use most?

Here are the two phones that i own:

First off is the Nec E616

http://www.idg.se/ArticlePages/200310/10/20031010172530_CS/nec_e616_med3.jpg

It has capability of making video calls, mp3 player, 20mb-ish built in, memory stick slot, java games that are free to download but cost 50p to play, camera with flash, ULTRA QUICK LOSS OF BATTERY, NEXT TO NO BATTERY LIFE

Second is the Sagem my v-65:

http://www.vodafone.co.uk/vf/images/products/sagem_myv65_dviewmulti.gif

Dosent really do a lot to be honest, has a built in camera without a flash so its a bit pointless but the battery lasts for about a week!

So what do you have, what do you use it for bar calls?

[AntiPasta]

Here's what I use now, a Nokia 3330:

http://itc.ua/img/dpk/2001/6/mobila9.jpg

Its battery life is *very* good, but sadly the transfer-money-via-WAP feature on my previous phone (see below) doesnt work anymore, even though i'm using the same SIM :smt019
One of the games is actually a side-scrolling shmup but I dont play it all that often.
Got the phone from a friend for a nice 20e btw :smt023

My previous phone:
http://in.yimg.com/i/in/mob/yahoomobile/20010904/3154255923.jpg

It was a nice phone with a very good user interface but the battery life went downhill fast, up to the point where I had 2 batteries, one that lasted for 10 min and the other one maybe 2 hours :snipe:

[Paulo]

I have a Nokia 6600. That can play N-gage games. Now if only i had a MMC reader to put the games on to it! Its what i currently take all the pics you guys see with!

I also have a T68i that im no longer using thats for sale :-)

Samsung A300, I am about to get a 6600 as well. The one feature I use the most on my phone is the "charge" function, im lucky if I get a day and a half's life out of the battery.

[virtual alan]

I have just got 1 of these...

http://www.mo.com.ua/news/n_img/se_p900.jpg

And this is now not used

http://www.mobile-review.com/review/image/nokia/7650/7650.jpg

The 7650 only has about 7 mins of calls made as I had it delivered as an insurance replacement (orange) and then upgraded to the P900 about an hour later :smt023

[Tachikoma]

Ooooh nice! if you are looking to get rid of that spare... :smt023

[SuperCollectors]

I currently use the current, great british invention, O2 XDA II pocket pc cum phone, or some said pocket pc phone edition ;)

with backpack attached, 1GB SD card and a 2GB sandisk Compact flash. Wi-fi & GPRS unlimited on this baby.

[Johnny]

Mine. It's a Nokia 3586. It's pretty simple for a cellphone with color screen. Anyway, i bought this model because it was cheap and has all functions i want.

PS: Got the pic on the Nokia website

[virtual alan]

Ooooh nice! if you are looking to get rid of that spare... :smt023

It comes boxed with charger.....software disks...extra Nokia battery.

So basically is new, the charger has never been used as I had a Nokia one anyway.

[SilverBolt]

Mine is a samsung X600 with built in camera:

[TheDeathcoaster]

I have no idea what my phone is....to be honest I never use it. My parents bought me it because I disapeared for almost 2 weeks without notifying them where I was....I stopped back occasionally to pick up clothes and whatnot and left a ntoe saying I was going out again.

Anywho, its some small thing by Alcatel and is about 2 years old now.

[wiseguy]

I have a samsung e700 with digitall cam

[Yakumo]

I use a 3 year old Sanyo phone for the now Vodafone Japan network (Was J-PHONE). It was cool back then but nothing great these days. Has all the normal features such as TFT colour screen, 16 Channel audio (SMAF - like a type of midi but with WAV samples. developed by Yamaha), full internet access, Email, Short mail, calculator, built in games by Capcom, crappy camera and loads of other pointless stuff.

I mostly use it for making telephone calls :Hangman: But I do love listening to thje 103 game music tracks storred in it's internal memory.

As you can see above, it looks a bit battered.

I really want the new Samsung SGH-D410 ...

[Tachikoma]

Isn't it ironic, that Japanese phones 3 years old are still markedly better than most new phones out in the west!

[Yakumo]

:smt043 Too right. The western phone market isn't as exciting as the Japanese one. Even panasonic's phones in the west are shite compared to their japanese ones. I want the latest Sharp phone (Runs on Vodafone network) for it's built in TV. !! You can watch TV on it anywhere or so they say.

Yakumo

[TRigga 007]

Aparently there is a samsung phone out in the uk in two months time that allows you to watch and record tv (you can record 10 mins worth) It will be on the vodafone 3g network, my 3g phone is utter rubbish for content the internet access is how should i put it "Garden wall"?

It only lets you connect to the 3g site :smt017 There maybe a way of re-flashing the phone to allow net access though......im still investigating :smt023

Nothing to do with your phone. its 3s data service isnt running yet s no one no matter what phone will be able to reach the web from their phone.

[LeGIt]

last march ibought a nokia 3510i (when they came out) - sold it not long after as mobile phones literally give me headaches when i'm near them :'(

[Yceman]

I have a SE T68 updated to T68i. It was quite cheap at the time by brasilian standarts, and it was cutting edge tecnology back them :smt043

I really liked the SE K700 from everything I read about it, but I don't know when it's gonna be released.

It's funny how I despise everything Sony makes as a videogame producer, but I just love their cell phones

[Greatsaintlouis]

You know, all those NORMAL features unavailable anywhere but Japan like telepathic dialing, automatic stock market investing, and an included space raygun accessory.... :smt019

Well here's a pic of my model of phone, the Nokia 3585i.
http://www.infosync.no/news/2002/11/20/gfx/nokia_3585i_01.jpg
It apparently used to be the base model of phone sold through my provider, US Cellular, until something like 2 weeks after I bought it, after which the base model became the nice 3586 that Johnny has. I got it because I didn't want to have to deal with the assholes in our landline phone company. So as a phone, it works. As a cell phone... I'm very disappointed both in the model of phone itself and my provider. The phone, despite supporting an on-phone ringtone composer and WAP browsing, has modified firmware that leaves these options out - I'm lucky to have the dinky games on this thing. Plus the US Cellular network is completely incompatable with anything else out there, meaning that I can only download ringtones from US Cellular, which are all shitty mono and mostly crappy renditions of horrible pop or rap songs. Oh, and did I mention that the alpha tag option was locked too? Yeah, no customizing MY phone, I had to carry it around with "US Cellular" on it the whole time. I finally got a service rep to get the service programming code so I could change it, and while I THOUGHT I swiped my phone's code to allow me to change my alpha tag at will, I guessed the bastards changed it again, because it no longer works. Anyone know how to hack out a 8585i's service programming code?

But as a simple phone, I guess thing's okay.

[madhatter256]

I have this:

http://www.mobilecraze.com/images/img/NOKIA%203390.jpg

Its prepaid. I dont have any minutes left so I just use it to play games when I'm at work. I really dont need a cellphone but I bought it just for emergency use, hence its prepaid minutes so that I can use them anytime and not get charged up the ass.

[TRigga 007]

I just found some interesting mobiles for those of you looking to upgrade!

Take a look at these!! :smt023

http://www.johnlewis.com/jl_assets/product/230198253.jpg

http://www.johnlewis.com/jl_assets/product/230198254.jpg

http://www.johnlewis.com/jl_assets/product/230198255.jpg

The second one acts as a belt clip type phone (it has a slot up the middle) so you can half of the phone in your pocket and the front overhanging, this is a great idea for those of you who go to clubs as your phone cant slip out of your pocket!! :smt023

[Tachikoma]

Ah yes, Xelibri, they do make some really novel mobile phones!

[s0urce]

It looks more like the thing that holds the birth control pills for women.

[ASSEMbler]

I have this phone. It can do videos, pics, etc.

I can also watch television on it.

[abionic]

got me the nokia 3650:
http://www.ixbt.com/short/2k2-09/nokia3650_2.jpg

supposedly it can play ngage games but i havent bothered.. has still/video camera, all types of apps (guitar tuner, IM, loads of games, Opera, GloBanner.. )
and i got a 128MB SD card for it, can fit around 2000 pix on it. its a little on the big side, but all the bells and whistles make up for it.

oh and i have the Metroid intro theme for a ringtone :smt023

[GaijinPunch]

I guess no there's some phones in the west that compare to the Asian ones.

This was my phone until about a week ago
http://www.vodafone.jp/makersvoice/J-SH51/index.html

MP3's, video, pics, email, net, MP3 (SD CARD), all that shit. I used almost none of it, and eventually dropped it on the concrete one day. All of my friends complained about the sound quality, so I picked up another. The phone above I got over a year ago for about 15,000 yen.

http://www.vodafone.jp/japanese/products/kisyu/v301sh/index.html

This is my current phone. Much less features, but gets the job done. I bought it last week for about 8,000 yen.

[Paulo]

I bought it last week for about 8,000 yen.

So damn cheap... sometimes i wish i could just buy one of those phones to have a play around with lol The nice screens and other thigns they got.

[GaijinPunch]

Yeah, they're pretty nice (and yes - cheap). Those prices were slightly discounted b/c I had been a J-Phone member for so long, but somewhere to the tune of a $40-$50 discount at most.

I'm going to miss my cool phone that does way too much. The US ones look all ghetto -- at least the ones my friends use.

[Yakumo]

I wish I could afford a new phone like your's GaijinPunch :smt022 I'm stook with my 3 year old pile of crap. But hey, at least it only cost 250 yen :smt023

Maybe if you stoped buying games like everyday?! :smt043

My wife looked at one of these....but they are so incredibly flimsy....that they would probably get squashed under the ton of crap that women keep in their bags......she got a Motorola V600 in stead.



Yakumo but be worth a fortune by now :smt043 :smt043

Indeed, those things can be found in every nook and cranny here but they always work (apart from the odd scanline missing from their LCDs) :smt023

Loads of cool things you can pull off using a datacable, too :smt033

[WolverineDK]

he he one of my friends has a dinosaur of a nokia mobile and the cool thing is when that mobile is dead you can use it as a nightstick ;-)

[Paulo]

Ummm been offered a P900 for swap for my 6600 for £100 on top... i REALLY want a P900 but dunno about the guy... arg anyone wanna buy a 6600? :smt043

I am lucky - I own a Nokia N-Gage :smt033

I hope u dint pay more then £50! Its on sale at argos for that. Aparently u get fre calls to one other person on the same network?

[adam-james]

i left the world of xda's and smartphones for the Nec E616e, and i must say its pretty cool.. only bad thing for me is not the battery life, but the fact you cant play mp3's and ring tones... i know thats a crappy thing to like in a phone... but it was sold to me as able to play them, and i had my heart set on 'live and learn' from Sonic Adventure 2 as my ring tone.. that or the Neon Genesis theme tune...

Anyone else got a 3 phone? just intrested to see how popular they are!

[Tachikoma]

I hope u dint pay more then £50! Its on sale at argos for that. Aparently u get fre calls to one other person on the same network?

Nope, paid £40 which is a bargain really, and even if its a shit phone with crap coverage I can just use it as an MP3 player and buy a new cheapo phone.

Argos were asking £69.99 for it here, but I got mine off Amazon for £39.99

With a £15 top up you get 100 free minutes or 25 minutes and 100 texts per month (plus some cash left over for other crap like music video downloads and stuff) im not sure about free calls to same network.

[TRigga 007]

The price of the phone in argos changed the other day (i had to change the price on the computer myself) its down to 49.99 :smt023

I have the E616 as stated at the start of the thread, there are some new services that have started since then though. Sky sports news is one, and GAME REVIEWS with video clips is the other (i havent tried this myself yet as the only game i have seen is rally sport challenge 2)

I am selling this phone though due to its poor battery life, im upgrading to the LG8100??? I know its an LG but i cannot think of the number at the end.... However its also on 3 but is the same size as a normal phone, and has the same battery life as a normal phone too

I will hopefully getting it the weekend so i will post a report in this thread on its features etc :smt023

[TRigga 007]

Oh the calls arnt totally free to other 3 phones, after calling around they are "subsidised" so its about half the cost (its a rough estimate after re-checking my credit balance)

[Paulo]
