I've got the same one.

Almost everyone here in Finland seems to have a mobile phone too. And some people still think we are an ex-communist coyntry with polar bears roaming everywhere :D

It's rather teeny and weighs something around 95g. Obtained it for peanuts on a monthly contract ^_^
I used to have something similar to Turnsky's diga - a Phillips Savvy.[/color]

Post by: diamondgeezer on December 23, 2003, 02:21:03 pm: Mate of mine got one of those new-fangled video phones. He was well chuffed, shoving it in our faces at every opportunity. Then he realised that no-one he knew had one so his picture and video messages were ultimately pointless. Sensibly, he sold it on eBay and used the resulting cash to buy kebabs :nod:

Then a year or so later I got a Nokia 232:

Which got upgraded to a Samsung 411 a year later:
(http://www.cellular-news.com/images/cellphones/Samsung_SCH411.jpg)

The phone company pushed me to upgrade a year ago, so I got an LG 510:

(http://www.authorizedcellular.com/images/LG-TM510.gif)

Which is the phone I'm using now. However, I have in my possesion a Sony Ericsson T68i, which I'll switch to as soon as I can get the data cable to unlock the darn thing. :p

Post by: RangerKarl on December 23, 2003, 05:45:49 pm: I've got a Samsung SGH-V200. It keeps crashing every few moments or so, very annoying.
Title: Mobile Phones/bricks..
Post by: Nico on December 24, 2003, 03:53:41 am: My SGH-C100 works fine it seems, but it's overcomplicated.
There's a darn notebook in there, but you can't call a people in the list directly, you have to access a stupid menu...
ah well, I got it for free, can't complain. And I have arcanoid on it :p

Post by: kasperl on December 24, 2003, 12:49:47 pm: i have/had a Siemens C/M 35 (i) (wouldn't know what one exactly if it could save my life) but it turned out leaving it in a vest pocket during a laundry round isn't good for a cell.

now, i have something called a "swing 2000" from the fone company as a temp, but the batt lasts about 3 minutes.

Post by: Sandwich on December 24, 2003, 01:58:06 pm: I've heard bad things about the t610's reception and screen visibility in daylight - is this true?
Title: Mobile Phones/bricks..
Post by: Odyssey on December 24, 2003, 02:20:01 pm: [color=cc9900]Reception I can't really judge, as I live in a pretty poor area for reception anways (rural) and not many people are on the same network. However my friend with a Nokia 7210 gets around the same, and if I do a GSM search on my phone I can usually pick up other networks where the people on those networks get no signal. So my experience with the reception hasn't been bad.
Screen visibility is average. Yes, it isn't a TFT, it's an STN, but it really doesn't make that much difference for a phone. I've never come across a situation where the screen was completely and utterly impossible to read. That includes with the low suns we're getting at this time of year.[/color]

Post by: Martinus on December 24, 2003, 02:22:12 pm: [color=66ff00]I have the rather asthetically pleasing Motorola V60i, I also have a nokia 3210, a motorola v100, a siemens c45 and a phillips savvy. I fixed the nokia 3210 and it's going to a mate. Quite a collection but I only really use the motorola phones. The v100 is quite interesting and useful especially since I really only use SMS.

I can fix most 2nd generation phones and unlocking is pretty simple for nokia 2nd generation phones so I often unlock phones for friends.

All five people in my family own our own mobiles. Leashes indeed, Mik.

Post by: kode on December 26, 2003, 05:41:23 am: I haev a pretty worn out t68 that I'm going to upgrade to a t68i. got it used, because I wanted bluetooth and didn't feel like paying a whole lot for a new phone even if I needed one. my t20 I had before got a little too wet and didn't work so well afterwards. before that I had a crappy motorola brick. before that I borrowed my fathers NMT brick.
