Well, I wasnīt talking about bragging rights. But more about usage. Since most members here are under the 35-40 year old range, I thought more members would be interested in a phone that can recieve e-mails, browse the web and play music all in one package. I guess I was wrong...Iīm quite surpried.

This how I see it. Mobile phones are meant to be used outside home. When I'm outside home, I'm going somehwere, maybe with someone or doing something. I don't need or want to listen to music, take pictures or go on the internets.

On the other hand, you may want to bring something that replace some comforts you have at home, like internet access, music...
I always considered built in cameras a somehow good thing, as you will always have a camera to shoot something interesting or funny.
How that influenced the flood of horrible shots all over the place (like facebook) is whole different subject.
That said, I don't think there is a mobile phone which is just that, a phone, with a good camera and nothing else. They always come with other stuff I really don't care. Like something bigger than my wallet or worth more than may monthly rent.

I can semi-see the point of the inbuilt camera. But I could live without taking the odd picture of an old car rusting in the streets of Barcelona. On the other hand I've never been too interested in photography, or taking pictures of things and I mostly suck at it. So probably my opinion on that matter is just invalid.
On the other hand, I can't help but being a bit happy whenever the battery dies and I have to leave the mobile phone at home charging the batteries. That brief period where no one can really localise you and you have a very satisfying freedom.
Yes, I'm from 1923. What can I do...

You can do this: bring the phone, and use only when you need it. Only the people I care have my number, or those I need to talk with, and since I'm not one of those sending a text message every 30 seconds, I don't receive those messages either. So freedom, check.

Funny how people see ĻfreedomĻ technology wise. The ability of getting and answering e-mails on my phone gives me a sence of freedom since I donīt have to be sitting behind behind a laptop or carrying one arround.
If I donīt want to be reached for some reason, I just turn it off

since the widespread arrival of the mobile phone, the amount of useless conversations has exploded....

That's a solution, but then people would start complaining on why you turned it off, why you were not answering, what's the point on having a mobile phone if you don't bring it with you or you don't answer and so on and so forth.
Fortunately I don't have this sort of problem anymore .

Got a Nokia N97 mini a few months ago. Use it mainly for calling, texting, photos and mobile net. If i listened to more music i'd probably use it for that too, but i only listen to music in the car generally. Only real complaint is it seems to forget sometimes what my ringtones are and switches to the default. Even tonight i had my brother try and call me twice, first time it went default and the second time it went to the set tone.

I have a Blackberry, not sure what kind... 8300 or something maybe? It's ok, it has a keyboard which is pretty much all I care about, I only use it for calls and texting... oh and the calendar every now and then.
