Lets remember to be civil, and well composed. No need to bash anyone for their choice of phones!

Are you speaking from experience, Donnato?

I am still stuck back in the 20th century. No cell phone for me. I really don't want one. Of course, I don't need one either.... Sure, it would be convenient on occasion..... I just don't wanna pay the bill.

I think the mobile service charges in your country are expensive; here in my country, such services are cheap as water, including rates for prepaids.

 

I still have a Sony k750i with a 2mpel camera, which is the only redeeming factor for taking crisp outdoor shots. Otherwise, even if it's an evil necessity, I use it just for work and emergencies, with me having to load up when needed.

 

However, as Microsoft have recently bought (rescued, really) in Nokia, I was hoping for the comeback of their most durable phones, a rarity in these days of fancy touchscreens, multiprocessors and full connectivity.

I agree! Cell phone service is outrageous in the US. But like you said, Its an evil necessity. What really makes me mad is the tiered plans the major carriers are forcing on their clients. 2gb of mobile data cost as much as their extinct unlimited data plans cost.

 

If Verizon Wireless wasnt the only carrier that provides reliable service in my location, I would not have them. Their greed is a big turn off!
