its becoming a part of life to own a mobile phone. there are so many out there and they all seem to serve us in different ways..

this phone here seems to be a puzzle to me. how in the world does it work?

whats your thoughts on mobile phones? are they useful or just another accessory??

lets open up the lines for this discussion

I got a new one a few months ago (Nokia 7260) and frankly I want my old one back...I think that was a Nokia 8310? This new one has a joystick control, which is the most unresponsive piece of shite I have ever tried to use....I have to push the thing a few times before it responds, and even then it often takes me to a screen or option I didn't want....I might 'accidently' lose it soon...good old phone insurance

I always make sure I get phones with radios built in though coz I walk around a lot and its good to have music in ya head, and still be able to hear your phone if it rings...

My company got itself a new Sony Ericsson Z800i 3G phone a week ago....which I inherited

Apart from the case being a huge drop in quality and strength over their rock solid phones like the Z600, this phone rocks! With 3 now having a roaming arangement with Telstra instead of Voda, the roaming is seemless and coverage is so much better.

The camera, the 6 mini LED burn-your-retina-out torch, the sony memory stick and media player (that even does mpg4/Divx) is the shit and then some! Well impressed
