The cool thing is that when i receive a sms message i hear Kesson Daslef and when I receive a call I hear Donkey Rhubarb. For the call was good also other rings as Cuckoo, 4, and Vordhosbn.

why do you show such contempt towards those of us who find mobile telecommunications useful?
if you don't wanna use a mobile phone, fine, don't use one.
Some of us like to contact people, and be contactable, anywhere we are.

but why?
if you're gonna spout that there's harmful radiation coming from it, you can't use that as an argument
there is harmful radiation coming from the VDU that you're using at the moment, there's harmful radiation coming from your tv, microwave, etc.
If you're gonna get brain damage, you're already a target from those appliances, so if you use them, you might as well use some more!

that's not my complaint. i believe the world is too small. not physically, but this whole technology being able to see you 24/7 thing is too much. global tracking satellites, etc. it's all very creepy, and it all leads to something straight outta brave new world. i liek my solitude. i like NOT having people up my butt 24 hours a day. with a cellphone, what's your excuse? you have it on you, why didnt you answer? then you end up lying to the person... well, i just want my privacy. that's what it comes down to for me. not preachin', just want my alone time.

oh i understand :)
ive been reading 1984, and that scenario was quite frightening because we're not far from that.
Yes, Mobile Phones are basically Global Satellite Posititioning transmitters, and you can be tracked down to within a couple of metres.
If you have one, any organisation with the necessary equipment can track you down and contact you, track you etc etc etc.
I use one because it's the only way i can talk to my girlfriend (we have a long distance relationship).

yowch! i've been in one of those... yeah, in your case, i can understand. in a doctor's case or a detective or something, i can understand. it's just these kids that get em for status that irk me. it's not cute. it's not fun. having a nelly ringtone going off loudly in a diner is NOT cool. that and the whole "big brother" thing

with my phone i always have just the standard Nokia "Ring-Ring" sound.
the only time i would even consider using a personalised ringtone is if i could sample a track and use that as my ringtone (unfortunately i dont have one of the 3G phones)
it is annoying when someone's got some stupid fucking ringtone,but we can't do anything about it.
mobiles phones are an integrated part of society now, and it is inevitable before, at some point, it will be compulsory to have a mobile, as hard-lines will be eradicated

Samsung A800, was great when i first got it but there are lots of annoying things about it. Makes a loud noise when switching on and the alarm goes off at 10AM EVERY MORNING despite the fact that the alarm is not set!
thinking of getting the Motorola V500
