Thumbs up

Well... what phone(s) do you use/have (active only, not something you keep in a drawer)..

Any pros/cons about it/them?

Reason why you chose just THAT phone?

Got a NEC e606.. Horrible phone actualy.. But was the first 3G handset avalible here in sweden.. used if for 6 months and then replaced it with the one below.. Still use it thou.. as an emergency backup..

Got a NEC e616.. Nice phone actualy... lots of useful features. Realy like the look and preformance.. but now it's only used as an expencive alarm-clock Realy good one thou. Only alarm-clock i know with GPS

Got a LG u8110.. I use it as my "party phone" since my "main" is just too bulky sometimes... Neat design.. slim.. and good preformance, but totaly lacks the possibility of expantion memorywise.. Nor any BT support

Got a Motorola A925.. now there is my little (?!) gem
It's THE best phone i've EVER had in my possetion.. Got EVERYTHING..
Good Webbrowser, GPS, Touchscreen and i've crammed in a 1 GB SD-card in it.. YAY!.. Just finished cramming 750 MB fresh MP3's into it.. Also uses it to play Sam&Max using EScummVM.. when i'm not watching a movie i've ripped from a DVD.... It's just... awsom.. best of all.. i payed 50€ for it Time to link it up with my Jabra BT300 and party!


btw.. all of those are UMTS(3G)-phones (eg. Videophone and so on.. 2 Mbit wireless), could never use a GSM(2G)-phone again.. too... obsolite.... outdated.. slow..

I'm still using my old trusty Nokia 3310.
never saw the need to carry some flashy cellphone with gadgets and colours around with me.

I've got an I-Mate Smartphone2. It's good for playing Links (golf) on in airports, and I can fit a full series of TV episodes (something like Black Books) on the memory card and play them back.

I briefly considered 3G, but the 3G network down here sucks badly. We got a demo model at work when 3G launched and over 80% of my call attempts completely failed to dial. I have a window cube just across the road from the city centre. :/

3 were boasting the other day that in the last year or so they've got their call dropout rate from 12% of calls down to "only 1.5%". Think about that -- one in every 67 calls drops out. The 2G carriers are way better than that.

Nokia 3310. I need a new one as this one is giving up the gost but for that I need to cancel my current contract and I still need to write the letter for that. After that there is a three month wait before I can get a new one.

i'm using a Sony Ericsson T610.

Pros: very nice design, big display and many colors, good sound, easy to handle
Cons: sometimes on/off button is not responding properly, crappy cam (but who
needs a cam, anyway?)

highly recommendable handy, imo! k:

I've got Sony Ericson T230
It's not a new model, but I got it couple of months ago. My parents told me I could pick a phone and they would buy it, and I didn't see the point in buying some fancy phone, seeing that they never last long for me.
So I chose this one, and I really like it.

I found most the buttons stopped working on my T610 after about four months and then a couple of months later the whole phone stopped working entirely! Maybe I was just unlucky though! :angry:

Anyway, I now have Motorola V600, which seems to work very well. Doesn't do much other than make phone calls, but then what are phones actually for? :blink:

I got a motorola t772i or so, It's a clamshell which happen to be broken at the opening mechanism. So when I open up my phone to call I have to watch out the top-part doesn't fall off

before that I had a nokia 3330, but it got bathed in my backpack when it rained immense during a festival.

Bad luck with phones I suppose
