Yep, there's Vodafone's Ovi Store.  Not up to the level of Apple, and a bit naff to be honest.  Early dasy I suppose.

I love how lots of people have to have the newest, best phone possible because it gives them social proof or whatever, good old marketing and peer pressure

Yes, that's exactly the reason I buy stuff.  Marketing and peer pressure  :roll:  ;)

I'm supposed to be working but I've spent the day messing about with Facebook widgets and setting up email.  And ordering a case, and some screen protectors, and a car charger.......


Sheesh..that's some job you've got there Dave.....any vacancies coming up?  :D

Although I'm often called Inspector Gadget I consider mobiles phones to be merely a very useful comm device. Putting on my Victor Mildrew hat ... I do get p****d off when people insist on having long loud conversations in restaurants, public places etc. - I use the word 'conversation' in it's loosest meaning, in most cases banal chit-chat would be more appropriate. There was even a guy in a toilet cubicle at the cinema a few weeks ago chatting away whilst I was using the urinal - amazing, judging by the smell he was making I would have thought the last thing he would want to do is draw attention to himself.  :)

I text a little so I'd be perfectly fine with 0 minutes, unlimited messages and £1 per month internet, lol..

An awesome phone which I still like was The Matrix phone but the retail one, not the ACTUAL one. I'd love one, lol..

My plan gives me 300 free minutes/text per month (plus another 300 for same network) - I've never ever had less than 260 minutes/texts left at the end of the month. The only 'gadget' aspect of a mobile phone which would interest me would be a REALLY good built in camera to use when I'm not carrying my digital camera. Apart from that I just want a reliable phone with good coverage and battery life.

Hence why I want the C905, it's got an amazing camera (for a mobile phone) and I already love the previous model to it.

OK Dave - you convinced me I need a new mobile phone so I got a fantastic deal at Trotter International Traders (TITs).....................



Great deal - you get a free Doberman Pinscher with it and 6 month holiday in Afghanistan.

Nobody else here got a Google phone?

I've found my G1 to be better than anything made by Nokia (despise the N series, sorry Dave!)
My last FM.
ESP Horizon NTII.
ESP Viper Camo.
ENGL Screamer.

When I was upgrading my current contract a few months ago I looked at the Google phone but it is only available on T-Mobile and they don't have very good coverage for my area.

I upgraded to a BlackBerry Bold which I find I'm using more and more, I love it!

Be careful with a blackberry, I had a nightmare of a time trying to get the numbers off of my Brother's after it buggered up, and now another of my workmates ones has $%&#ed up.
And they are both going back to Nokia ;)

used to know someone with one, I rather like it, needs a camera flash but I like the interface, and the menu button that I think of as a right click, so you don't have to shove a load of controls on the screen like maybe on an iphone

I've not played with the iphone much but I do wonder how the app stores compare, lots of free goodies on the google one
