Cellular Phones

[Dave Gray]

I just got a Treo 650.  I had the 600 and it crapped out, so they gave me a 650 for free.  So far, I like it a lot, but have questions.  Does anyone else have this?

If not, what kind of phone do you have and do you like it?

[TonyB0D]

i have "america's cellphone"...the good 'ol LGVX6000 that EVERYONE and their mother has.  2 years, no problemos (except the few drunken times it ended up getting reallly wet somehow)

Motorola i265...the kind of phone you give a 5th grader.  It's paid for by work, though, so no complaints.  Nextel service, on the other hand...

[Brian Fein]

ha!

you have the i265?

Realistically, do you hate it?  I like to hear what people think of my designs...

What do you know about phones? 

[JVides]

No, I don't hate it.  It's actually a solid little phone.  It obviously doesn't have many bells and whistles (hence the 5th grader crack - it's not hot like the "Razr" or "blackberry"), but that's fine by me, since I wanted a phone, not a gadget that also places calls.  My complaint lately is with Nextel's "swiss cheese network"

[Brian Fein]

Nextel's network sucks.  Agreed.  I drop calls several times a day.

The phone is an entry-level bare bones phone.  The i275 is the same phone with a camera.

Glad you like it, its one of our top sellers.  Did you ever notice that the keys squeak when you push them?

I have some crap Audiovox from a couple of years ago.  It was free, so I don't care.

I forget to carry my cell phone on most days.

If I had the money, I would get either the pink RAZR or that new little Motorola I saw on tv the other day.  I'm sure Verizon will get that one when hell freezes over.

(I like Verizon's service, but I hate their choice of phones. It seems they're always the last ones to get stuff.)

I never thought of it as a sqeak, but yes, I noticed.

I have the greatest phone in the history of the world:

See?  Scar Man's phone is what I call a gadget that also happens to makes calls.  Don't get me wrong; it's awesome, I wouldn't mind having one, but really, I'd never use 90% of its functions.

We put so much time and effort in engineering resources to eliminate that squeak.  Eventually some high-up manager told Nextel "if you don't like it, buy a more expensive phone"

I have a cheesy little Samsung A670. I have had it for a little over a year and in reality it has been a good little phone. It's small has a color screen, camera, and great battery life for the way I use it anyways. My biggest beef is that the cheesy speaker on this thing sucks and in order to get the ringtones to sound decent you have to crank the volume down but then you can not even hear the damn thing when it rings. If you have it up it distorts the shit out of it. My g/f has a Motorola phone, not sure which model, but with the volume blasted her ring tones come through nice and clear and I can hear this phone 2 blocks away. I wish mine were more like that but oh well it really isn't a bad phone!!!!!

My friend Tony just got that phone, Crazy Scar.  It's really cool.  Windows XP enabled.

That barely audible sound was really that much of an issue?
