Hey guys i just went out today and bought myself a new mobile phone, after seeing all the different types and makes i was wondering what type do you have, and if you don't have a mobile phone which one would you like to get

For me the new phone i bought today was the Nokia N96

My previous on was the LG Renoir which was preety gud but it was touchscreen which i h8

Nokia N73. Although I really want an Iphone but you cant get them in Regional Areas.

Plus there limited to plans.

Don't have one (that I ever use), don't particularly want one.

Text (SMS) messages are pathetic.

I use to have an N73, apparently the Iphone isn't as good as it is hyped up to be.

I don't know what my phone is - Nokia (slide), has GPS on it (Nokia navigator)? I love the GPS thingy, its great for finding ATM's in other cities or if you get lost exploring, as I did in Paddington (Syd) recently.

As for Iphones, they are great, being an I'tool is not.
I knew some people (not my friends) who took their I'phones to a large dance party party and spent most of the time showing off their I'phones to everyone. It was really quite amusing as the topic of gossip for the next month shifted to (them) and their showing off of their Iphones - little did they know they were being laughed at by everyone.

Yep I'phones are great - being an I'Tool is not:lol:

Sony Ericsson T290i - its a pretty basic model. I use it to make phone calls and send text messages :)

thats preety much all I use my mobile for unless i need to take a pic

iPhone - great handset that keeps getting better. The App store is really what makes the handset stand out from its competitors.

I hate the "N" models in Nokia, between the load time with the camera, and the layout its very frustrating. Plus when its in your pocket and your driving it randomly calls people because the slightest vibration or knock sets it off.

I bet you, you prance around at shopping centre's with it?

Am I correct? I hate douche's like that. And If you want to pay $800 at

Dicksmith Powerhouse for an Iphone its better waiting a year or go to Brisbane and get them.

Nope. If i need to take it out of my pocket to check a text, i will. It goes right back into my pocket afterwards.

Can you use it for posting [dribble] on SSC with the QWERTY keyboard?

if i wanted to, yes. its got internet explorer

nokie 6500 slide

if i wanted to, yes. its got internet explorer
Honestly, your 13 why do you need a phone like that?

You dont work professionally? your only at school?......

It's my mums. she didn't know how to use it, so i said i'd paid her $150 for it

Honestly, your 13 why do you need a phone like that?

iPhone for me

wow so many people have Iphone, At my school many of my friends have those anoying handsets known as Hiptops, their are very cartoony in their graphics and layout

Sony Ericsson k800i

no wait. blackberry.

k800i

Pretty handy for taking decent quality photos (for a phone that is) on the move when I don't have the SLR with me such as skiing, etc.

Just do not go on a plan with B pay (if they still exist that is), apparently they have unlimited credit on your user plan, so extremely high prices + unlimited credit = VERY BAD. Never again would I be using that company.

lol so many iphones

^^ do you know how many megapixles your camera is?

the one on my phone is 5

Nokia 6500 slide.


*Note to any potential 6500 slide customers: DON'T BUY IT! :lol:

Nokia started going downhill when they started trying to pack a tonne of features into their phones. The only reason i've been sticking with Nokias is because i am so used to them. Other brand phones are so foreign to me. lol

Ive been through 3 phones too many this year alone, all of them either froze or died some how. Including u700, then w910i then g800 all failures, back to my trusty w300i of 3 years :)

lol so many iphones

^^ do you know how many megapixles your camera is?

the one on my phone is 5
The one on my phone is 3.2 megapixel, and I am pretty happy with it. Often when there is a lot of white, pink appears around the edges of the photos due to faint chromatic aberration (I think that is what is being caused) from the plastic lens.
Took this with my phone camera which is decent considering the amount of white in this image :D (after warming it up, since it briefly suffered icing on the camera cover)

Does anyone have Blackberry Storm? Any feedback?

Don't get me started on HipTops. I know a lot of people complain about the "iTool" attitude, where people can't help but talk about and show off their iPhone, but for me HipTops are even worse.

In case anyone doesn't know, HipTops are cheap and nasty, sideways-sliding, QWERTY keyboard phones made by Motorola that can only be purchased on a Telstra HipTop plan which for $60 a month, you get unlimited web-browsing (not Next-G though) and unlmited SMS.

Hence, you'll see people (read: teens) in a shopping centre walking around with these ridiculous devices constantly texting things like; lol, ok, nah, you?, etc. Just because they can. Oh, and posting comments on mySpace like; lol, ok, nah, you? Just because they can.

My former best friend got one of these and there was an instant change of attitude. Suddenly he thought he was Mr Popular, sending 6500 SMS per month. (I'm not sure how many replies he got) Prior to getting a HipTop, he sent <30 SMS per month, so clearly he was only sending excessive, ridiculous amounts of text messages to show off the fact that he was spending $60 a month for "unlimited free text messages" and "free web browsing".

PS, I have a Nokia 6110 Navigator, I like it.

^^ thats how i feel about them, they are the tryhard phone

Does anyone own or have come across a Sony Ericsson W980?

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/images/cws/see_the_phone_spacer.gif

If so... What do you think?

The reviews aren't to bad.... my contract is up and im due for a new phone. I currently have the Sony Ericsson W810i which im more than happy with but it is 2 years old now....

I had the original australian hiptop2 in 2006. Best phone/plan i ever owned. also the plan is $30

i've got a blackberry 8707g and i love it.

Nokia something. Not sure which model though, got it last year.

As long as it makes calls and allows me to send the occasional SMS, I don't care what it is...

Text (SMS) messages are pathetic.

Why? don't you feel the love of receiving 1000 generic happy new year messages at 15 minutes past midnight?

Sony Ericsson K800i

It's good for photos when my camera isn't with me. The flash has gone in it but, have to get that fixed.

The dude looks like her brother or something, creepy. :lol:

they live on the central coast

Why? don't you feel the love of receiving 1000 generic happy new year messages at 15 minutes past midnight?

I feel the love when the phone is on vibrate, in my pocket.

As for the other guy with the 6500 slide -> delete the applications. First thing I did, just like buying a computer, delete all the bundled crap.

Thats some cutting edge stuff right there

iPhone!

One of the most extraordinary devices to hit the market in recent times. I love how it sync all my iTunes music, photo's, web sites etc etc. And the app store is fantastic, something for everyone and just about all of it free or so cheap you just don't care.

I got the 16GB model and am glad I did. I use it to check my e-mail, browse certain things, the GPS mapping is great and the various different searching software is awesome. I like it when I can be anywhere and simply do a search on nearby restaurants, banks, ATM's, timetables etc etc and it will come up with names, addresses, how to get there maps or worded directions.

Fantastic little device that combines so many things into one relatively small package!

And no, I'm not an iTool, neither would I take it out clubbing with me, imagine the amount of them that get stolen?

BTW, I'm a bit like L2, I loathe mobile phones and only ever kept mine with me for an emergency (or for satnav with the nokia) or for very quick calls. As for sms's most people know not to bother sending them to me as I hate typing them out or replying.

And yes who can ever forget the 100's of useless NYE sms's everyone receives...

mx

I've just jailbroken my iPhone today - kinda neat. Very easy to do, still finding the ropes but there are a few handy features. The VNC server is awesome - means my phone can sit in my bag at work and I can control, type, read and reply to SMS all from my Macbook.

i think im the only one in my school without a phone

i dont see the need for one :>

everywhere i go theres payphones

http://www.mobilerainbow.org/images/mobiles/SonyEricssont290i.jpgThe number keys on my old phone that I've had for more then three years hardly work anymore so I just bought a Nokia 2680. I'm really liking it so far, only a cheap phone (paid $123) but it has a few nice features. The FM radio I think I'll use quite a bit.

This is the same model samby has, only in red.


I have a Nokia E71 and it rocks.

Nokia E65 for me - still the best simplistic phone

My poor little Iphone, I droped it :lol:
My brother droped his Iphone aswell, his is worse :lol:
all in a week two Iphones gone byebye

It still works, I still use it, nothings wrong with it, just kinda cracked :bash:

Blackberry 8110 Smartphone. Awesome bit of technology.

I now got Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. It looks so cute! The small touchscreen qwerty keypad. Has the 3.5mm headphone jack to attach my Shure se530 inner-ear monitors. I bought this mainly because of the music playback quality. Also have 18 months unlimited download from Nokia Music.

There were a lot of raving going on in high-end headphones community because this mobile is comparable to the well respected mp3 players such as creative and cowon. Now i gotta figure out what to do with my old Nokia N90.

Nokia 5210 Navigator
but i dont even use the GPS

I await your vitriol.

I go through phones so fast, it's not funny! I didn't get my first phone until I got a job in year 10, so 3 years ago. I had a Motorolla Razr v3, which was crap so I drowned it after about 3 months and just pretended it died on its own so mum would let me get a new phone. Then I got a Sony Ericcson, which I loved, but it died after about 6 months. Then I got another Motorolla Razr v3, thinking I had picked out the next model up from my first one...turns out I didn't, so after having it for about 9 months, I got sick of it and destroyed it by throwing it against a wall. Then I just got a cheapo Nokia phone from Woolies to get me through to my last birthday, when I got my current phone, a Sony Ericcson W380i. I love this phone, but the keypad is starting to die, so when I start work in a couple of weeks time, I think I will go phone shopping. Anyone have any ideas for good phones, or have any really good experience with their present or a past phone?? One of my friends pointed out a good Vodaphone touch screen phone for $200, I think it's an LG, but I can't remember for sure. I'm thinking I do want to go with a touch screen, so that I don't have to worry about the keypad dying.

I am now the proud owner of an iphone. My 6500 slide died this morning having served me well for the past year and a half.

I was gonna wait until the next iphone comes out but i couldnt put up with a shitty old LG until then.

The LG one they are reffering too is the LG renoir, i use to have one until i got my N96 which i love but the Renoir was a madd phone, although i dont like touchscreens they give me the mega shits.

Did you buy that new? Stupid. The LX'09 is due out next month. That's the only hiptop I'd be prepared to buy, what you've got there is a 2008 phone with 2006 features and a 2004 pricetag.

Nah, second hand off a mate.

I am now the proud owner of an iphone. My 6500 slide died this morning having served me well for the past year and a half.

I've done the same upgrade. Although i hated my 6500 slide. Love the iphone, but i just wish the battery would last longer.

I'm thinking of getting either the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, like MILIUX (is yours pre or post paid?), or the LG Viewty. Haven't heard anything bad about either of these phones so it will probably just come down to personal choice, and what the different carriers offer.

I'm on business plan post-paid with 5800 XpressMusic and it comes with 18months of unlimited music downloads. I'm still liking the phone so far. Haven't let me down for a moment and i listen music when on public transport or in gym. The best feature is obviously the music quality. The second is the responsiveness of screen and the joy of using touch-screen qwerty to type messages and notes.

My typical routine is to download albums and playback the nextday. If the album is very good, then i keep it, then otherwise i store it in my hard drive. 18 months of unlimited music download is something i really enjoy doing because it has heaps of albums not widely available and its pretty easy to download. Nokia Music is expanding its catalogue pretty rapidly.

In general, it is not a wizz bang phone and it won't attract a lot of attention in public (which is good). But i like the reliability and sturdiness of the phone.

What's your review on that blackberry? I was thinking of getting that until i heard that the clicking wears off in a few months.

Sounds great MILIUX, will definately consider that one as a high priority then. I think I'll probably end up going with 3 Mobile, because they have that phone free on a $69 a month cap, which is good value considering you are getting a $1000 phone plus $500 value every month.

Why would you get a BB Storm, just about every review rubbishes it.

LG phones are complete rubbish. You're bound to be disappointed with it.

ill stick with my trusty n95 8gb.
iphone is rubbish.
hiptops are rubbish.

Dilaz, you join me and millions other in the iphone club, sadly my screen smashed haha still works though they are very tough phone and screen never scratched, intill it smashed.

I had LG Prada phone, I was happy with it very good phone, then I lost it on Mouth Hotham, was a bitch :lol:

n95 and n96 are weird, they confuse me for some reason, my brother has n96 and my mother n95, suppose im just use to my iphone :)

:)
Im just an apple hater. stupid company. ill give you PROPRIETARY EVERYTHING !!!!

The N95/96 have everthing you need. Symbian is a great OS, heaps of apps and games for it, and they did (may still have) the most powerful processor in a phone so, so suits me.

My old k800i was a great phone. The n95 is able to handle thousands of messages and i can scroll through no issues. The k800 was good, but if i was in my inbox and pressed up (which takes u to the last message) itd sit there thinking for like 20 seconds before loading it.

/end random babble

I used to have an N95.

It's sitting in a cardboard box now somewhere, it ain't no iPhone. It's all about the experience, the integrated fusion of hardware and software, OSX just has it beat. I mean Symbian? Get out of here with that.

New iPhone comes out in a month or so, suffice to say it should be pretty slick.

Yeah Symbian doesn't impress me at all.

New iphone??? Fark i should have waited! lol Oh well, i'm pretty happy with mine.

I'm waiting for this beauty...

Omnia HD, check out the screen. Amazing colours and clarity...lives up to the HD name.

For most people, they just don't need a top of the line phone unless they want to brag about it. Most of my communications are done by sms and phone just like 4 years ago.

iPhone OS V 3.0 will be released within the next month...

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/03/17/iphone_os_3_0_first_impressions_and_photos.html

It brings MMS, Copy and paste as standard features finally...
Once this is released i don't think there will be any Phone OS out there to keep up for sometime.
The new iPhone hardware so far known:
256MB Memory (allows for multitasking in OS 3.0)
New processor (700MHz)
New Graphics processor
64GB internal memory
3.2MP camera with video recording and editing as standard
