The All-New Phone Thread (Now with extra content!)

[Andrew]

So I got a new phone a couple of months ago seeing as Vodafone was running a special offer on their $29 cap plans on a 24 month contract which offered a free Nokia 6100. Seeing as though I was paying the same amount on a pre-paid cap and my old phone was a few years old, I decided to take advantage of it.

Got the LG VX8600 around end of summer last year and still using it. Got a couple scratches on it from when I dropped it or it fell out of my pocket, but the summer case that came with it has protected it pretty nicely.

I still own my old one!

the best phone made ever!....the battery is holding a week....it has a nice pikatchu sticker on the back, which glows when somebody calls. Nobody wants to steal it....no stupid extra funcions!....the perfect phone....i have it since 2001!

[Mikki]

The taser is still alive and kicking.

[cyanide]

Don't use the phone for anything but talking and texting. That's it. And this phone is ideal for my needs. Much better than that piece of shit RAZR that I used to own.

It's funny, I'm a maniac when it comes to computers and a few other electronic appliances, but I really don't give a fuck about my cell phone, as long as it's not 1 foot long and heavy as hell...I have a 3 or 4 year old Samsung (can't even find a pic anywhere), I don't text at all and I never take pictures because they come out very crappy anyway.

Ringtone: 311 - I'll Be Here Awhile (only decent one I could find on the website)

[witness 23]

here's mine

[shadowgrin]

Mine: Sony Ericsson W660i

Though I'm not a big fan of the one unit-multiple function concept, I find the camera, FM radio and walkman player functionality a nice add-on to the phone.
The phone is my preference because it's light and small to fit in my front pocket, but not too small that pressing the keypads are a pain in the arse. Internet's not too shabby either.

Start-up screen: like this.
Wallpaper: like this also.
Screensaver: this.
Current ringtone: sound of those old rotary phones when you receive a call.
Current SMS tone: that old-school sound when someone makes a three-pointer in basketball.
Games: All the games available from the Sony website for my model.
Extreme Air Snowboarding, FotoQuest Fishing, Johnny Crash Does Texas, Minigolf, QuadraPop, Tower Bloxx

I'm planning to upgrade it's 512 MB memory to 2 GB so I can save more MP3's, videos, and pics.

Props to Jackal for that link. More content for me.

got this baller phone for a great deal. signed up a new account with Verizon wireless at the Verizon kiosk in my Circuit City store and got hooked up with a free LG Voyager. I had to pay for sales tax... around $40. sucks you cant put games on it though.


Touch screen wallpaper: this crazy animated thing that came with the phone.
inside wallpaper: Hello Jessica Alba. god i love opening up my phone.
Current Ringtone: I can make my own ringtones so I made an NBA on NBC ringtone.
SMS ringtone: I dunno how to describe it, but it's the sound in NBA Showtime (the game) when you select an option.

i own a RAZR V3, but i dont think its a "piece of sh*t". i have ways of modding the phone to my own liking

[Lean]

I'd like to replace my Nokia 2610 with a Sony Ericsson phone.

LG Chocolate VX8500



I don't do much with it other than to make calls. Sometimes I'll use it to play some songs (whether it be just through the phone's speaker or through headphones) but other than that, nothing really. I bought it like a year after it came out and probably won't be changing phones anytime soon. When it comes to phones, I don't really care too much.

No ringtone

[shadowgrin]

It's in mute stoopid.

Same here. I only had three phones over the last ten years. I replaced the first one (Bosch) because the keypads are worn-off and pressing the keys everytime is shite, I must have had callouses using that. The second one (Nokia) had the on/off switch constantly broken which makes it harder to use because it usually shuts itself off so turning it on is also shite.

All I want in a phone is to function like a phone, any add-on is just gravy.

[Jackal]

I was just waiting for someone to be "funny".

Current Ringtone: "The New Pollution" by Beck
SMS Tone: Default
Games: Lumines Block Challenge

[Axel]

I've had it a year. It is a little scratched up because it was impossible to get a phone cover for it. Also there's a decent size chip in it on the upper right corner. It has always worked great for me. 2 - 3 day charge.

[keem21]

Nokia N95 8gb

I have it since its release. I use it for calls, sms, music and for taking pictures..

[deihatein]

This is the phone I own. I got it last year November and was broken last February because I drop it real hard then I got it back last month and changed the front and back casing to black.

Right now I use it just for MP3,putting cool themes, and texting my love one, although I have plan of changing my phone just for a change.

current ringtone: FF7 Victory Theme
current SMS ringtone: The default
Games: Metal Slug, Pac-Man, Transformers

'drew how do you like that NBA Smash game?

It's alright, I was hoping to get NBA Live 08 but apparently it's not compatible with my phone. NBA Smash is fun enough as something to kill time, the dunk contest is probably more fun than the two-on-two game.

[Doobie]

Right now my current phone is the apple Iphone 3g. Before this I had a sidekick LX, and before that I had the samsung alias..... Very happy with my current phone.

[GoHornets]

I have nothing bad to say about it. I threw it (accidently) a million times and it is still working perfect.

Wow.
