I think it's an interesting question. What phone you buy kind of reflects who you are (ex: Nokia=conservative, no nonsense baby boomers. Motorola=fashionistas and trend setters. It's a stereotype, but
I read it in an article somewhere).
I have a Samsung D500 and am currently waiting the iPhone!
To be honest I don't care about phones as long as I can make make and recieve calls. And of course sms. The phone I have is a Siemens A60 held together with gaffa tape.
Years ago I had a Motorola Flip phone, then a V60, now the Razr. You are correct that the service providers have a strong influence on what phones people actually use.
bought it more than a year ago and its still a great phone. Its got a MP3 player, 1.3 mp camera and expandable memory (currently has a 1 gig mini SD card) so it has every thing I could want. It takes pretty good photos as well...
I recently "upgraded" to a PDA phone (I lost my old one...ooops) and I decided to go for it. I now have a HTC Blue Angel (marketed under many names...Siemens SX66, O2 XDA IIs, Dopod 700, etc....mine is actually a i-mate PDA2k) and it just amazing! Wi-fi (yes, there are a few hot spots in Nanning including my school), Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 2003SE, nice big PDA screen, 1 gig SD card for extra memory, so-so camera (the only real negative and the camera isn't THAT bad), a WAY COOL slide out QWERTY keyboard........all in all pretty damn nice. This was actually new as of late 2005/early 2006 (meaning that this model is now discontinued), but I was able to find it in a shop in Shenzhen. I always thought PDA phones were a little bulky to carry around, but with Bluetooth no problem - and I LOVE having Windows Mobile!!!:thumb:
Sorry I am not conservative , but I've tried alot of brands , nothing is as User Friendly or As Feature rich as Nokias , they are not the best at everything , I mean not the best sound / camera / os .. but it has everything and thats just about what I need .
Altho I respect Sony Erickson alot , but having no Symbian OS makes me feel a bit unsatisfied .
we currently own a :
Nokia 6681 - 1.3mp cam - Smartphone
Nokia N70 ( My dads) - 2.0mp - Smarthphone
Nokia 7260 ( my moms ) - VGA camera
Nokia 3330 ( Old is Gold )
non Nokia :
Sagem My-x2 << I have no idea how this phone is French ! I like French People's taste .. and design , but this is a BLACK DOT in their history
