What mobile phone do you own?

[RecklessLeper]

Seeing as there's a trend of these "What... do you own?" threads, I thought I'd make my own ;)

I've currently got a Sony Ericsson K700i (http://www.sonyericsson.com/K700/index.aspx)

[jankerson]

Samsung VI660 (http://www1.sprintpcs.com/explore/PhonesAccessories/PhoneDetails.jsp?navLocator=%7Cshop%7CphonesAccessories%7CallPhones%7C&selectSkuId=samsungvi660&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1476015&CURRENT_USER%3C%3EATR_SCID=ECOMM&CURRENT_USER%3C%3EATR_PCode=None&CURRENT_USER%3C%3EATR_cartState=group&bmUID=1112182310819)

Nokia 6230 (http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,47665,00.html)

[F_A_L_C_O_N]

man hope our emails are hidden from spammers, couse otherwise kiss them goodbye :D

anyways Nokia 6260 (http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,58689,00.html), I just love it couse almost noone else does :D

and I love the fact you can close it and it fits your back pocket, yet it has all the goodies that I want.

MuFu and CenturionStrategy have good taste, but I'm waiting till next month for the Nokia 6230i (http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,69498,00.html).

Nice, that's quite an upgrade by the looks of things. Both Nick and I have 1GB memory cards in ours incidentally, so that reported limitation is probably not absolute.

I have made an adapter for mine out of the supplied headset that lets me use decent headphones (Senn MX400s).

Audio quality is suprisingly good but the software is awful! Especially compared to the Series 60 phones. Maybe Nokia have improved their MMAPI/J2ME in the 6230i (would be suprised if that's the case though). It'd be nice if they upgraded the USB controller to 2.0 as well.

How good are the Pictures from those Camera Phones?

[F_A_L_C_O_N]

I think even the better ones use plastic lenses

mine is limited to 640x480 and isnt good for anything other then phone screen

6230 has 1.3M as far as I know and some pics Ive seen are OK, but really every half decent 100$ camera will beat that.

On the other hand if you got the phone with the contract and you choose something like Nokia 60 series, you are basically getting free camera, so why complain :)

I think I'm the last remaining biped without cellular phone.

Not great but good enough for the odd snap on a night out.

It's definitely a luxury many people can afford live without IMHO. However it's nice to have one in case of emergencies.

[jankerson]

Ok, not bad at all, better than I thought. :)

I never would have had one either, but with doing Network troubleshooting and Pc repair etc I needed one. :(

In a brightly lit hospital at least. Gets a bit rubbish in low light (no flash, of course). Some of the newer phones are a lot better but still only approach the quality of very cheap, dedicated digital cameras.

Yeah I understand that, if they shot at high res they would be so expensive nobody would buy them.

[Martin_89]

I had to set up a 650 for a customer last week. The stupid ****** actually set up his wireless using Rogers, when his office ISP is Sympatico (very unfriendly competitors), and he wants me to get the email working. Took me 4 tries before I got a tech at one of their support lines that didn't suddenly have phone trouble.

[SillyRabbit]

Actually, I hate cell phones. I ONLY use it to keep in touch with my kids so I use a Nokia pay as you go. Nokia 2722 or something like that *shrug*.

[Martin_89]

im always texting on the thing or phoning, you know what us teens are like :D

[Andy_83]

A few weeks ago I got myself a Siemens CX65. I quite like it because it has about the largest screen you can find on a phone (lol :D ) and the operating system is much like Windows in that you can create folders and fill them with whatever, and view your drive space etc. Plus I can write apps for it in Java ;)

http://www.abrownson.f2s.com/public/cx65.jpg

oh and before this one, I had a Nokia 3210 that was about 4 years old. I like to make things last!!

[Martin_89]

thats pretty nice, i was looking at the nokia 6600 for my "techy side" but its a little big

[Marvt74]

I had a Sony erikson S700i, its the one that pretty much looks like a camera and the pics were pretty damn good.

But it ending up having problems so now have the samsung D500 its pwetty, the camera is pretty good in the dark to.

Tut tut Mufu shouldnt have your phone on in hospitals ;)

Ah that's a good point, but actually it wasn't a hospital it was a walk-in clinic. My mistake. There were no wards, dialysis/HL machines etc.

My sis has a D500. Very nice - shame you can't upgrade the memory. It's a little bulky IMHO too.

Actually, it's apparently OK to have your phone on in a hospital. My girlfriend is a student nurse and when she's on a placement in a ward, she's always on the phone to me. Just not within 6 feet of any critical machinery IIRC... *shrug*

[ris]

i have some pre-war nokia 7210 with the wierd buttons. no camera and some of the worst ringtones since my sony z7e.

i'm looking at an upgrade but i'm still deciding whether i want to move company or stay with orange and shaft them for new kit.

[Martin_89]

im with orange and have been from about 1999 i think, im still pretty happy with them.

There's a specific band reserved for special phones for hospital use.

Here (my wife is a nurse at the local hospital) they dropped the whole cell phone restriction over a year ago. I don't know what changed, but they don't make you use special phones.

[Inkara1]

I've got an LG VX3200 through Verizon. Other than having no games and no download capabilities to get games, it's been a great phone.

She just uses her regular cell phone, and there's no special phones at the hospital she's at IIRC... *shrug* ;)
