SUBSIM mobile phone thread
Post your cell/mobile here. What are you using, what do you like/dislike about it?
I have been using a super cheap Go Phone from Wal-mart for about 2 years, because my last nice phone was drowned on a motorcycle ride. So, I grabbed a $15 phone from Wal-mart and put my chip in it. Since I am going to the wilds of Denmark next week, I decided to move up to e better phone, one that will work world-wide, has a decent camera, and storage. I chose the Samsung Solstice. It is very thin and small, so I can carry it in a pocket, as opposed to a belt clip or holster. It has a 2MP camera, takes video, can be expanded to 8GB with a micro-SD chip. The only cons so far is removing the battery cover--definitely not easy, and knowing I am carrying an expensive phone as opposed to my previous "disposable" one means I actually have to take care of it. It was nice not having to worry about it. I guess I'll get used to that.

I dont think he means your actual number.
That would be unwise

HTC Touch Pro 2
Why? Cos I manage the company mobile accounts and contracts, so I get all the best deals. Likes: So easy to use, fast, manageable and customisable. Live GPS Dislikes: Expensive (don't care though) Screen can get marked by the stylus over time. Conclusion, a rich mans Iphone.

I have the Samsung Ace that is international capable. I see the Mogal posted by Thomen. We had two in the office. Both broke in under a year. Then again both users of the phone were very rough with them. These phones were not international capable. I like the ACE. Very similar to the Blackberry. To me the cell is a work phone and should be a business like phone. The new touch phones look more like a gadget to me. I see my nephew playing games on it all day and downloading pictures he does not need to be seeing. Anyway, mobile 6.1 is an ok program. I understand Blackberry's program is very good.

Well, you have to laugh here because my boss's phone was this Mogal. He went to Italy with my phone!!!!!!!! Geez, my phone gets to go to Italy and I stay home . I hope my phone had a good time. Then again the boss pays for my phone so hey, he can take it were he wants. I love my boss.

Nokia 3220 Got this around the time it came out (2005-2006?), still works like a charm (12hrs on the bottom of a lake, dropped, kicked, thrown to a wall a few times). Great great great phone. |

I'm temporarily using my old Nokia E60 again because the screen of my new phone broke. Expect this to change in ~three weeks.
This one still does the job, ie. one can call with it, write and receive text messages and e-mail and surf the internet. Everything else is a bonus |
