Mobile phones

Post by dz »

Which mobile phone you have? What do you think of different manufacter models etc. ?

Hardly anyone in finland has Ericsson anymore, it just "sucks".
Siemens is getting maybe a bit more popular... dunno really.

I bought some time ago Nokia 5210 "sport phone", which is at least protected of water, dust and little smashes, like if you let it fall onto ground, nothing will happen to it. I like it mainly because it looks so beautiful and feels very good when you hold it. the button touch is pretty good as well, which is important.

here's a pic of mine.

quite nice phone :). i thought of buying 6100 but it was 100€ more expensive and i thought i rather spend it on new hard drive than a bit smaller phone.

i really like the looks, and compared to my previous crappy 5510 it is heavens gift..

(price 279€, but it's worth every cent)

btw 2fast just check http://www.nokia.fi/puhelimet/puhelinmallit/ if u got nokia (no old models there though)

I have a Motorola T720i right now but i change phone every some months.

So long i had
Ericsson GH688 <-was really kewl, some bad guy stole it
Nokia 5110 <-well i don't like nokias (except for 2110 mayb)
Ericsson SH868 <-really crap one, outlook is nice but software sucks
Ericsson R320s <-crap outlook and software, was stolen too but im not missing it
this motorola i have now is not bad apart from weird american features, and lacking of infrared port (which i would need to get pictures taken with the crap camera)

but i think it doesnt matter what phone i have i use it only for talking, mayb some smsing, so most features of my current phone are useless to me

ps.: nokia sucks guys!

I have the Siemens C55. Very nice phone IMO.

Best manufacturer? Well many makes very quality phones these days...Also the manufactures have a bit different strategys. Nokia f.ex., makes tons of phones, but not all are that good. Samsung also makes tons of phones, most of which get pretty good reviews (but still they haven't included the option of adding new words to the T9 dictionary). Siemens, on the other hand, releases very few phones, but all they release are among the top of their genre, if not the top at the time of the release.

I dunno, I can't say anything really cause I wouldn't have anything to base my decition on, as the C55 is my first phone.

'tis true, siemens gets good reviews often. nokia started small with only few cellphones (i remember it was like 3110 and 5110 and not much others (and it goes further back yes i kno)) but now they got really many phones with almost identical software and harware, just different shape. especially in those 3310+3330, 3510+3510i stuff, but also e.g 5510 is actually, despite looking very different, built on 3330. if you open the back panel you see how there is 3330 inside sideways fitted inside a larger shell. all that is changed is location of monitor, buttons, and adding the memory capacity and some software. (and adding damn lots of size, the thing is huge).

not all nokia phones get top reviews but the final choice is, is it better to have little high quality, or lots of mediocre. thinking of how people buy phones (not everyone reads a lot of reviews before buying a new phone) i think the mediocre works better.

It's pretty useless to have a none-nokia phone if you want's some new covers, ringtones, logos, ec. You can hardly only get those to nokia phone.

Atleast it's this way in Denmark.

Ericsson 628 (http://www.mobile.sp.ru/gsm/Ericsson_628.htm)
Nokia 7110 (http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,1522,,00.h ... ones/7110/)

628 I bought six years ago I had it for three years when I bought 7110 which I still are happy with. I won't buy a new cell untill some cheap model has a good mp3 playing included.

Kopaka, that's pretty much how it is in Norway too. Nokia kinda has a monopoly on those services, almost all say "must have Nokia". Of course Samsung may also work, cause they have some thing that makes their phones able to run things intentionally for Nokia (I think).

I don't care though, just saves me money ;)

i have Samsung 620, i really like it :)
you can download animations and ringtones or whatever it's called straight to your cell, from your cell that is. and it has a nice 16 poly sound so the ringtones are veeery nice.

Probably because it didn't fit in the design or something. Also all current UMTS phones have external antennas.

Nokias are without a doubt the most popular phones in Norway. Most popular phones by them are the 3310/3330, 5210, 6310 and 8310 perhaps.

I have one too. It's just don't really work. It can't really charge, so the big screen doesn't work at all. But I got it for free..used.

We all make jokes and fantasies in our heads though, thanks for the inspiration Roni :*

Back to topic: I didn't add a pic of my phone before: http://www.my-siemens.com/com.aperto/My ... _c55_7.jpg and http://www.my-siemens.com/com.aperto/My ... _c55_9.jpg

Oh, and I think the antenna on MopoGirl adds a nice element to its design. I think it looks better with an external antenna than it would have looked without. It gets a little sexy even ;) (OMG did I just say a mobile phone was sexy?)

Price range...umm, not too much, about £100 (€146ish)

I found that the 3100 is £130, so i think that might have to be my new phone

Does it have composer??
