I started writing this out as a topic in the Video games in general forum specifically about Sonic CD





but i reckon it can be expanded into a Mobile Phones in general thread

What do you use and why? Whats your favourite feature? Do you like having a modern one, or do you like having something sturdy and reliable because 'all the extra functions are un-nececery', etc etc

I was a Kirk man myself up until I got the phone that I have now. By which I mean, I always had a classic thickish flip phone. I didn't really think that any of the other features were necessary.

Now I've got a touch screen Android, which is pretty slick. It's easier to type on (I mostly communicate through text messages), and the camera is of course better because it is a newer model. And I suppose that the touch screen does make it easier to navigate. I don't often use much of the other special features, though they are nice. Having this phone hasn't really made me oppose flip phones, though, but perhaps I am nostalgic and would just like to see people continue to carry them around if they so please.

Its interesting how clamshell flip phones have been completely out-moded in the UK, i had 3 different ones between 2006 and 2008, loads of people did. There are still a few sliders but there pretty much restricted to phones with full keyboards now

A technological full circle then, before it was about minimisation, now everyone wants a bigger screen :P

I actually just got a new phone a few months ago and I went with another flip-top phone. I find them the easiest to use and don't care much for additional features. I can take pics which i do occasionally and import my own ringtones from my computer. Pretty much everything I'd want out of it. I don't browse the internet on a phone. I'll call people obviously and TXT somewhat. The rest is unnecessary to me.
