Should i get a mobile phone? - Page 2

sonicl · 07.28.2006, 08:02 AM

I hardly ever have my phone switched on, much to my friends' disgust. If I know that someone is going to ring me, then I'll have it switched on, otherwise it's only switched on when I want to make a call.

I normally miss the great majority of my calls wich means that i ring people back rather than answering it.My ears are deaf to ringtones.Why a human creature would want to watch tv on a mobile phone is one the mysteries of modern times.

get one of those huge 80's ones and wear a polyester suit walking around shoreditch. you wont look out of place i reckon.

nomadicfollower · 07.28.2006, 11:38 AM

No, do you want all those fuckers you call 'friends' to be able to reach you at any time?
Didn't think so.

I caved after years and years and years and finally got a cell phone about 3 months ago. It is terrible.

people can call you wherever you are at. fucking people.

I was thinking of getting one myself. The upside of getting one is that you can phone chabib wherever you are, and have the bonus of not having your name pop up on caller display. On the contrary, if you don't get a cell phone you can use the money to buy records. Whatever floats your boat

Frighteningly that's probably quite true. What is it with fashion these days? The current trend seems to be dressing like a special needs child from the 80s.

I voted no but perhaps you should. But keep it on silent...I do that and I miss calls a lot but that suits me fine. Texts are useful. Actually, if I didn't have my mobile phone then I would have probably ended up lost in East Berlin at midnight about a couple of months ago.

Around here, where everyone has the latest model with all the gimmicks, having one of those logs would be a statement of some sort.
My cellphone is an old one, it has none of the technological features the new phones have. I'm not planning to get a new one for awhile.

Cantankerous · 07.28.2006, 01:50 PM

no. i'm on mine now and it reminds me of how much i hate talking on the phone.

porkmarras · 07.29.2006, 05:51 PM

I think i might get a limited edition one.

I hardly use my cellphone compared to most people, but I think it's worth the money if you can afford it.

porkmarras · 11.09.2006, 05:38 PM

I've achieved a small record with mobile phones as i got a new one 2 weeks ago and lost it after 4 days that i had bought it.I got another one yesterday but something tells me that there is something a bit wrong with me and this type of technology.I have lost or had stolen phones once every year for the past five years.

I voted yes. You never realize how useful they are until you have one and lose it.
