    Mobile Phones - which do you use?

    Pro's & Con's???

    My current phones are....

    Work: Nokia 3330 (Being changed on Monday - dunno what to yet)

    Personal: Samsung A300 - cool phone but poor battery life and NO GAMES! But then again I have my PDA for games :D

    If you like games then you should look at what is coming from nokia soon : http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/27940.html


    I Currently use an Ericsson T39m, which is not bad, but not overly exciting.

    Main pros are :

    Syncronisation with Microsoft Outlook for contacts (requires PC with infrared or bluetooth)

    Can hold several numbers for same contact (Home, work, mobile etc) instead of them all being different contacts.

    Bluetooth support so you can use it with other bluetooth devices (if you have any - I dont!)

    Cons :

    poor battery (2-3 days), b/w screen, a bit flimsy - first one broken by my little lad.

    games seriously crap.

    The Nokia that plays games is pretty good. On the other hand you might as well just get a less bulky phone and a Game Boy Advance if thats what you want, and probably work out cheaper.

    Mines a Nokia 3310, good all round phone, easy to use decent battery life. And my spare phone, Seimens C35 isn't bad, harder to use but nice and compact.

    I look after about 30 phones at work, so all mine are free ;) But the Nokia's seem less reliable, screens are always dying!

    The Seimens and Motorola are more reliable, but everybody wants Nokia! Nokia are a lot easier to use, especially compared to Motorola!

    -will bounce and survive when dropped from fourth floor of car park

    Cons:
    -costs money
    -rings now and then

    I just sold my Qualcolm to someone. I was going to buy a battery for it cause it seems to not stay charged long, but a friend offered to buy it from me when I saw another I liked. Now, I have 2 new phones....

    I have a Cingular Ericson which includes alot of extras such as games. This phone is for my friends on Bp. :p

    Then, I have a Motorola Talkabout for friends and family here. They are both nice phones:)

    And yes, I cant stand when people are in public talking loud on their phones. When I'm about to enter a store or wateva, I always tell my boyfriends or whoever else I'm talking to that I'll call them as soon as I return to the car.

    PS- Good driver that can talk, eat and drive:D

    Held a Nokia 5110, it had an aerial that you could jab in peoples collar bones (oops, meant to be off topic!!!)

    Got a 3310 now, but it costs to much, maybe I should get a contract phone.

    Go for the star tak rather than a nokia in that case, that's what they're modelled on after all. Yet another example of life imitating sci-fi.

    I just totalled my phone :( It was a nokia 3210 with a shiny gold-blue cover. It was a pretty good phone, it survived being dropped in a pint of cider and black, and being dropped down a flight of stairs before it packed up altogther.

    I've got my eye on a nokia 3410 now instead, but only if I can sell the broken 3210. Any takers? :D
