Default New phones are cool

Had an awful 3 phone for a good 2 years... Nasty stuff, but now im moved in n such, credit rating was sorted, so I got myself a new phone. Its got a radio on it, so cool...

So now I can sit at work listening to the radio now instead of other whinging people (Radio etc is banned at work).

Anyone else taking advantage of something so simple yet so useful?

Nope, I think im one of the only people that wants a phone that just does ringing and texting and has the time so it is smaller with alot more battery life.

Oh a calculator would be nice aswell

I like my old rubbish Nokia, mainly because it's encased in rubber and invulnerable to all harm. Also, it's big enough that if it falls out of my pocket, I miss it. But then, I'm a known throwback.

Phones are for talking to other poeple. Any other functionality is unnecessary.

I disagree mr Hutt.

My phone has a 1gig memory card, used as a 1 gig mp3 player, radio, 3mp camera, email facility, games etc. Why carry 4 different devices around when you can carry 1?

I use the calendar in mine to run my life, it also has a 3.2MP camera which is good for cheeky pub shots and I intend to use it as an MP3 player with bluetooth headphones when running.

I also use it as a watch, cooking timer and stopwatch.

Never use the radio as I'd have to use the earphones that come with the phone which suck.

Oh and when I go off on my world travels I can send pictures straight to a blog to keep everyone back home updated.

Hmmmm.......I think perhaps it is because I have no need of the other stuff.

I don't like mobile phones for lots of reasons, although I have one but hardly use it.

I'm perfectly happy to concede that I may be in a minority of 1
