Hi guys don't know how many of you are into your gadgets but this phone is the bussiness! I've had mine now for about 4 months and it still amazes me. It can take picture, record short video clips, and has a built in organizer to name a few factory standard applications. The best bit though is it has a memory card so you can install all kinds of applications (most you'll never use though)! I've got Several eppsiodes of the simpsons on my memory card and the full movie a Bruce Almighty. Just showing off really, has anyone else got this phone?
P.S. Oh yes did i mention i've also got a stupid amout of short porn clips (between 30seconds and 12minutes) which are great making your mates jealous down the pub!

Either you're trying to boast, or do you want to start an Owner's Club?
Mobiles like that (I have a Sony J70, half of whose functions are a complete mystery to me) are over-engineered- they do a lot of things, much less well than equipment designed for those specific purposes.
I practically need a stylus and magnifying glass to dial or text, the buttons are so small.......and my hands aren't exactly like a navvy's.
Almost makes you wish for the 80s, and those housebrick-sized jobs.......

No, I don't have one, don't need one and certainly don't intend to join the Fukwits' Club spending time and money sending stupid, unneccesary text messages.
I have a telephone, it stays at home, and it takes messages.
I have a digital camera.
I watch porn on my TV or my laptop, not on a miniscule screen in the pub sniggering with my mates.

PS It is inconvenient not having the phone with me when I'm on the crapper....not!!!!!!

My mobile (Sony of some sort) is getting a little long in the tooth now (the keypad is worn and sometimes I have difficulty dialing numbers manualy... also there is no hands-free kit for it), so I thought I'd look to replace it.

I don't want a camera.
I don't want to play games.
I don't want dozens of different "screensavers"
I don't want to download ringtones.
I don't want to watch video clips.
I don't want to access the internet.

What I do want is a phone which, like my current phone, can store 500 numbers.

I've looked at all the various websites (Orange, O2, T-Mobile etc.) and am totally confused and disheartened. The info they give is all about picture quality, easy download of ringtones, how many different covers I can have to suit my wardrobe etc, but none of the f**kers has any info on how many numbers I can store.

I also went to Carphone Warehouse but the people there looked as if I was talking in a foreign language when I said I didn't want one with a camera, MP3 player etc.

Can anyone here help? Or am I asking for something that no longer exists... ie a phone whose primary (sole?) function is to make and receive calls?
