I can't help but to wish that my would be cellphone would need only very rare recharge and be able to be recharged while still more than 70 percent full without depleting the future capacity of the battery. I also wish that the cellphone be able to recharge itself automatically through light, heat(inc body heat), cold, sound waves and any radiation sources. The ideal one would need no manual recharge at all. Perhaps a bio-cell battery could answer this.

I also wish it could withstand being dropped from the 6th floor without any damage whatsoever and be able to withstand a minimum 10 m of water even boiling water and water below freezing temperature say -30 Celcius.
It also has to be able to withstand from being ran over by an 18 wheelers without even a scratch.

It also has to have a memory of at least a terabyte(bio cell memory comes into mind)

And it has to look slim, smart and neat. Nothing over.

Any recommendation? I think I may have to wait for at least another 3 decades....:O:

Anyway what's your criteria for your ideal cellphone?

Wut in the hell do you need a terrabyte of memory in a cell phone for.

I've got plenty of enemies to keep track of :D.

Well it was an exaggeration to the point of no restraint in memory. I was saying that my criteria are:
Strong, robust, reliable, no restraint in battery power or abundance in battery power, no restraint in memory(abundance of memory). E52 comes into the picture but I think I'll wait a couple of months until the price go down a little bit. Now it costs a tiny bit more than the E71 without much of the features(which I won't be needing anyway). But still would be nice to have a cellphone that doesn't require charging.

My dream cell phone would auto-decline calls from my girlfriend when i want to and would find good excuses for everything i do wrong!

My ideal mobile phone would first of all be the size of a mosquito's balls.

The smaller the better. However it would have a touch sensitive screen upon which to view the football or any other popular sport, in HD.

Next it would have a gazillion pixel camera with a bunch of completely useless functions because it would have a tiny lens.

Lastly of all it would be accompanied with a slick ad campaign on the television advertising an online tools store to download with the tagline "Be a smug bast@rd today".

It has no ring tone, and no loud speaker. Doesn't need batteries, but has a politically correct inflatable 30x30 cm solar panel, and keeps my number hidden from everybody. Big F.U.-button for emergencies. Vibration alarm gets upgraded with electrocution-automatic against theft. For easier handling, all the many buttons get replaced with just two: one to switch it off, and one to activate self destruction. Ideally, the visual design is so terrible that I refuse to waste my money on it, and the package box smells disgusting and fishy so that I vomit on the salesman's desk. That's what they call a fun-phone. Visit your shop and get happy for free!

My dream phone?

Personally I would love to have something akin to the upcoming apple tablet computer, but half the size or something with a 12mp cam with some fancy gadgets... i like photography :).

A glow-in-the-dark Jitterbug, maybe?

I need a cell phone just to make calls and receive them. I don't text and I have a camera if I should want pictures of something. I like things simple these days.

Nuclear powered mobile, or failing that one with a fuel cell :yep:

An ability to mask receipt of signals both incoming and outgoing, hence no more bills.

I want a Jitterbug. The only thing that is missing from the Jitterbug is a bluetooth capability to use in my car's hands free system.

I just want an easy to use cell phone. I am not interested in cultivating any relationship with my cell phone, nor to I want/expect it to be a central part of my identity.

:yeah:

I want to call and receive calls.
Also txt messages.

That's it.

Everything else is Camera/Laptop/PC stuff.

Yep, same here. Two years ago I bought a phone that takes pictures and gets on the internet. Once the novelty wore off I stopped using it for either. I have friends with touch-screen phones and more. When this one dies my next one will cost twenty bucks and make and recieve calls.

I'd like one that generates a soundproof forcefield around the entire body of anyone using it in public.

Not for me, for other people.

Actually that's the phone I like too.:D Except I'd like the phone to be able to connect to my PC through USB to transfer pictures I may have taken.

But I have an obsession about battery endurance for the same reason why I like the Flanker. I hate to think that my act of simply charging and discharging(using) the cellphone would diminish the battery capacity over time though the theoretical cycle is about 500(to 20% degradation) though empirical estimation is much lower than that I believe. And at some moments you just don't have enough time to charge it fully or to wait for it to really deplete before recharging...hence degrading the battery even further.

I have to admit though that after a time when everybody else is going 3G I feel a bit behind time though not necessarily behind style to still be using a basic cellphone LOL. The masses have that effect to you. Called social conformity. It ruins personal identity LOL. So been thinking should I take the plunge and see perhaps it would be fun. But those Black Berry like cellphones are awful it looks more like a calculator than a cellphone, over sized and not comfortable to be kept in your pants pocket. A hassle.

What I got now is nokias N95.
Bought it when it came to market because of the 5Mpix cam.

Camera works ok except the lens nowadays is from some periscope mod,
and im not talkin' bout clearscopes.

It sucks ass, especially if im a bit whoopsiedaizy
and trying to call a cab 4 am. What a mess to use.

The Nokia-software blows even more.

I dunno if the other brands are any better but im going for
a simple model that costs max 50€ .
Im interested in Samsung line but I need to see it (software) in action first.

I need to be able to make backup of my
address book / numbers and that is all.
I don't need a camera but they hardly make one without it these days.
I found out i don't use the cam so often anyways.

Only calls/txt and no freakin internet what-so-ever, thats for laptops and the likes. No mp3's, no GPS, no RAdio, no bloat thank you.

Phone + Internet = Epic Fail ---> IMHO


That is all.

:D

Poor battery, no camera no usb port . . . .still too expensive for what I'm getting. Can get a very decent Nokia for 30 bucks which is imo a much better choice. I don't need the internet but since I've got a cute little niece I can't help taking pictures and when I'm traveling out of town...the scenery is just tempting to be shot. I don't use the camera for social occasions.
