I have a Sony Ericsson V600i. Before that, I had the phone Maria (my girlfriend) has, Nokia 6600 - probably Nokia's best color phone ever.

My default tone is 愛情當入樽 by Twins but Maria has Delta Goodrem's 'Butterfly', as that was the first song I dedicated to her.

What are your favourite tunes of all time?


Not too sure about favourite but the default Nokia Tune is so *** irritating. Someone I know turned that into a full blown 7 minute trance song!!

I have a blackberry which I use mostly for the mobile internet. Also it serves as my main phone line. Although I rarely talk on the phone the number is useful for important calls, emergencies, and times when I'm on the go.
No cell here.  I loathe the things. Well, not the actual phones, but the unbelievably rude (and, while driving, dangerous) behavior of so many of the people who use them.  Oblivious loud yakking away about their personal business in designated quiet places.....(grrrrr)

I also have no at-home internet access, no answering machine, no DVD player, and no IPod gadgets.  Smile

I was surprised to see that "no" is currently the highest answer in the poll, and by so much, since so many of us seem to like tech gadgets. Maybe it's an Aspie thing - cell phones being primarily meant for social communication...
I probably spend the most time using it to send text messages, but sometimes I also use it to talk to my mom or my friends.

No.  I'm never away for long from those who might need to get ahold of me.  And usually, when I'm out, I'm with my sister, who is permanently attached to her cell, so there's one around if I should have to make a call.  Highly unlikely, though.

Smile  I hate the thought of having to stop what I'm doing every time I hear an annoying ring.

<hugs>

LOL, same here.  Even if I'm just taking a walk in the park and I haven't had my cell phone ring in over a week (usually the case) I *still* don't like to answer.

One thing that annoys me is kids who play music out of their phones at the highest volume. I keep telling them it's a PHONE and not a MUSIC PLAYER!!
urgh,and the speakers that they are playing it though are so TINNY! and they go and download the smallest filesize they can find,so its just.urgh.

luckily i have my headcans Tongue
(which are..actually louder than my PSP can go..so i can sit and play Heavy Metal at their tinny >insert explicit<
I miss my 3210 - was a tough little bugger. Got dropped in the bath and survived a 60C wash!!
I have a cell, hubby and I both do... instead of a homeline, because we are cheap and have a lot of family out of state and kids that may occasionally need to contact us. Smile But I used to only use the phone part (calling and receiving that is) until I discovered the alarms so that keeps me on track (so I don't skip picking daughter #1 up because I've spent all of daughter #2's naptime on AFF hee hee hee) Hubby always wants to get the coolest newfangled contraption... and while I do like new shiny things, I really don't want to learn a new way of doing what I already do on my old phone...
Nokia haven't made a 4210 - you mean 3210.
Didn't see it mentioned earlier, but I figured I'd mention that (in the USA anyway) ANY cellphone, activated or not can still call 911.  So if you have a phone that you stopped paying for and it's inactive, it's still a good thing to keep handy.
I'd be lost without mine - I'm not totally reliant like most people, but alongside email and chat, it's one of links I have with my girlfriend. I usually send her a text just before I go to bed and when I wake up, and they really cheer her up!
Well, after having been kept waiting by Phones4u for 8 weeks for my Sony Ericsson V640 to be repaired and having to use a tacky Sagem as a loan phone, I gave it, demanded a refund and bought a secondhand Nokia 7610 - came with three MMC memory cards, charger, headset, data cable, three spare fascias (front, back and keypad) and a bluetooth adaptor all for £70!!

I swear whoever designed the keypad was on something - but it's suprisingly easy to use!!

Smallest what?? Cellphone or penis??
