What Mobile phone do you use?
Do you recommend it?
Can you watch TV or listen Radio on it?
Is it WIFI etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up till recently I used a Nokia E65 - Loved it, a very business oriented phone with WIFI, but no BBC Iplayer etc.
Did my upgrade to a Nokia 5800 - Loved it (for three weeks) until it started doing weird things. BUT BBC Iplayer was great, and the camera was superb. Today they sent me a replacement - Doesn't work. I was devastated. Until SKODAFONE said 5800 out of stock..............so would I accept the N97 Mini?
Well, after all the bad press, they tell me the NEW NEW version is the Dogs parts? and please accept one tomoz.
Anyone had one?????? With The World Cup in June, a TV phone would be rather nice!

What Mobile phone do you use?
BlackBerry Curve 8520 Smartphone
Do you recommend it?
For my purposes it is fine. I use it primarily as a telephone. I use it a little for internet browsing, taking notes, and listening to audio.
I bought it because up until recently I had only used very basic phones. Then I saw the iPhone. I already had an Ipod Classic 16GB which I love. It is easy to use, durable, good sound, and intuitive. Perfect for an old bloke like me.
The iPhone was great, I got some good apps installed and set up by my mate's young nephew, and I was finding it really handy. Then I came back to the UK last summer for a couple of weeks holiday back in August. I decided to bike from my UK house in Rugby, to my mother's in Irchester. While I was biking that morning, the skies opened, and it tipped it down. The iPhone was in my pocket and must have got damp. It never worked again after that. I'd only had it for two months! The gurantee didnt cover humidity damage, and neither did the extra insurance I'd taken out on it. So that was a total loss.
A replacement iPhone was going to be just toooo expensive until I've built up some more loyalty points, so I went for the Blackberry because it was a lot cheaper, and seemed to do most of the things I liked on the iPhone.
I prefer the iphone, but for the price, the blackberry seems fine, and so far its still working.
I dont think you can watch TV or listen to radio on it.
You can listen to iTunes content on it, and it will sync with your iTunes library.
It is WiFi etc
My mate's wife bought an iPhone about the same time as I did. Hers stopped working last week, but hopefully will be fixed under warranty

I had a Samsung E250 slidy type phone. It was fine as a basic phone, until after 12mnths a bad connection developed, which cuts the connection during a call.
The most rugged phone I have bought is the SAGEM myX3h2. It still works, I've had it for 5 years, and I keep it as a reliable spare. !!

I have three mobile phones and guess what??????????
They all make phone calls. Cameras take pictures, laptops get you online, radios play music, televisions are for watching TV on.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely, it's easy to use, does everything I want and constantly annoys my mates with iPhones by being faster on the internet.

Good phone that! Reminds me of my TREO 650
Just added my 8Gig Microcard to the 8Gig onboard - More power on this phone than was used by NASA
