Your Current & Future Mobile/Cell Phone ?

[Calen]

Awww the days when call quality was #1  on  the agenda and can this thing do SMS ?   seems long gone. Now it's all about how many Mhz. 3D hardware, huge screens, which OS, and can the camera replace my SLR, and perhaps get my dinner ready for when i get home.

I love it!

Anyway, my current Phone is the rather nice Samsung  i8910, its quite the beast, the first Phone  to do HD video recording, 3d hardware, 600 mhz cpu  (Cortex A8) and  quite a healthy  8 megapixel  cam. It wont replace any cheap digi cam but it's quite useful on the go for the quick snap moment. C64/Amiga emulation  ain't to bad either,  but i'd prefer some real controllers

Sure are some nice  Phones coming this year, we have a boat load of Android based phones from Samsung, HTC and Sony.  Symbian based  Nokia with the Recently announced N8. And of course the new Iphone 4G/HD  whatever it's gonna be called.

I'm alittle swayed towards the Nokia N8 at the moment, HDMI connector,  12 megapixel  camera with a bigger sensor than other mobiles, Xenon flash, HD video with stabilizer. Not to mention the usual bells and whistles, good performance CPU and  dedicated GPU  all based around the new Symbian 3. and will also prolly be ALOT cheaper (370 Euro sim free)  than the new Iphone. Not sure if they mentioned call quality though

I will hold out for an in depth review and possible hands on though.

I still keep an old fone about the house just in case any of the new ones i buy die under the strain

What about you guys? ...

I'm not suprised, i don't think you would get good reception at your location

I can't stand the small screens. I'll either get something cheap with fm radio or the biggest screened Blackberry there is.

HTC makes awesome phones, I'm on my fourth in 6 years.  So far all have been Windows Mobile, but maybe I'll give Android a chance next time.

Sony Ericsson W995.

Best phone i've ever had.  Nice big screen, metal, 8.1megapixel WI-FI, GPS etc.  Had a lot of Walkman phones since the original W810i came out and most have been good.  Had a LOT of problems with a W910i a few years ago that were so bad that it almost put me off the whole range.  Thankfully they made a big comeback with the W995.

Nokias always seemed to be break when I had them for a while.

I can't believe how Apple can get away with selling a phone that doesn't have Bluetooth OBEX support, and until recently, video.

I've been quite lucky  with my past Nokia phones, cant think of one that has failed,  going  right back to the  7110 Matrix fone, i loved that bloody thing, dropped it more times than i care to remember

My last Nokia was the 5800, great fone for it's price and had fantastic Audio quality. Better than my Current fone & my dedicated music player, Ipod touch. I've since sold that.

Probably a droid. My motos have been all good, but this will be my first smartphone

iPhone is my once and future mobile...

Nokia, 5 year old, flip top.  Fronts screen is broken, plenty of chips and scratches on the aerial, original battery.

It can:

1. make calls,
2. receive calls,
3. has a light that lets me find the keyhole of my front door after a night out,

and the killer feature:

4.  An organiser that lets me set an alarm for 7 days to wake me and .....wait for it...I can choose for it not to go off on my day off Sunday morning!!!!  How good is THAT, eh?

[dammy]

I have a older Blackberry which I have 15 days left on my contract.  I'll have a Storm2 shortly afterwards.

[runequester]

My work gave me a blackberry curve that I have unlimited usage of, so even if its not the best phone in the world, Im sticking with it.

Once they decide to take it back, I'll get some form of blackberry again propably, but unsure which at this point.

What about you guys? ...

No more symbian for me. N900 is the perfect geek phone.. full keyboard, excellent connectivity, root access, runs debian derived linux.

http://piru.mobi/ <- My N900, running lighttpd and python cgi. Google Latitude.. pah! :-)

[koshman]

Piru, have you had any of the previous non-phone NITs? I have an N800 and I love it. I'm thinking about the N900 (I would prefer it without the GSM part...), but the screen is significantly smaller so I'm interested in how much worse the user experience is in this regard. Of course, HW keyboard is a nice plus that frees screen real estate in many situations where you need text input...

@stefcep2,

I like your thinking!

I have a 7 year old Nokia 1100, which is as simple as you can get - and small.

It was in the drawer with an expired SIM card for three months. Just got a new SIM, but will probably never use it. :-)

I only have the mobile so that when I'm out fishing (and if I ever need to make an emergency call, or get a call from home) then I have it...

I actually use the alarm-clock function more than anything else...

As for the future, I think I'll keep this one for another 7 years!

Mike.
