    I was interested on how many of us have a mobile/cell phone, and what make your phones are. I am a proud owner of a Nokia 3310, with the standard casing. You?

    Ericsson T28s... Not much in way of games, but it has Tetris, which is probably all I'd play anyway. I love Tetris. :p

    Right now a Nokia powered by T Wireless (some bloody Euro cell phone company ;) )

    However, with the new job, I'll be getting a discount on the Sprint Vision! Can't wait to play Kung Fu! :thumb:

    Nokia 3310, and it'll probably die soon. The speaker volume is reduced, the vibrating is reduced, the lighting is reduced and the battery doesn't last that long any more. I want an Ericsson...

    Heh. So far I'm the only one without one - and that's by choice by they way :p In my line of work (business consultant), if I had a mobile phone I'd have people calling me *all* the time! Nope. If I'm not at my desk, or not in the office (including the home one), I'm unreachable. Leave a message at the tone, I'll get back to you - on your time not mine ;)

    I'm sure you all have good reasons for owning one, but I wonder - am I alone in thinking it's completely unnecessary for kids to have a cell phone? I see 14, 13 and 12 year-olds with them all the time! And they aren't calling to check in with their parents either...

    I have no need to have the potential to be in constant contact via telephone; sometimes I don't even answer the phone in my house when it rings since I have an answering machine.

    So no, I don't have a cell phone, and I'd be surprised if I ever did unless that's all there was.

    I'm a (somewhat) happy owner of a Nokia 3310 with a standard casing. Since I got it I haven't been doing anything during the classes in school but play snake :p

    Have a Nokia 8260 with a few games and use it all the time. It has great reception and it's easy to stash anywhere. The one drawback is that it does tend to heat up a bit with extended use...and burn my ear -- not that I talk that much or anything. :)

    [​IMG] Holy crap, looks like Nokia has the market. I didn't realize they were that popular. I myself have a slick Verizon phone, and am content with my service. If it has any games on it I am not aware, nor do I really care. I'll get my gaming need satisfied somewhere else :p .

    I don't have a cell phone and I'm not about to get one.

    It costs a lot and I wouldn't want everyone to be able to get in contact with me whenever wherever (no, not a fan of Shakira :) ).
