OT: phones

Only the Germans would equip a quality exectutive car with seats that look like they've come from 'World of Leather'.

Heh! I like it anway. Though the leather in the quattro I drove the other week definitely looked "tighter" and less wrinkly (IYSWIM) than that.

Peter

havent they got s*it coverage though?

Bugger. How did you get that deal?

I don't rememeber ever not having a signal actually :)

'Cos i'm cool :D

Just had a quick look and i couldnt see anything resembling that offer! Just trying to get my PAC code out of o2, then hopefully i'll be going over to Orange and getting a Motorola V500 :)

Heh - they phoned me up as the contract was ending and said "what can we do to make you stay", i said, i want a better contract. They tried to fob me off with flashy poser phones, but that doesn't intrest me at all. I just wanted a cheaper contract - so they have me a Nokia 3510i to replace my

Bah. I should have gone on at them longer :P.

It helped that i didn't even want a new phone, then at the end after we'd agreed i got cocky and i said i wanted a new one, any one :)

T-mob will give you 300 minutes for £30 if you haggle. They were giving the offer out before Chrimbo and still will if you ring them and argue for a bit...

Did you see the Jag XJ when they tested it on top gear? They showed you the back seats and they were like that, absolutely shocking. That May bloke didn't mention it though, so perhaps they had been rushed for the press car or something.

frickin phones

I had a couple of "technology" phones and they were just pants and went wrong a lot. Now got one that can I text and speak on and that is pretty much it, other than a couple of games.

Can anybody 'sell' me the idea of having one of these new fangled ones that cook yer breakfast etc?

I got that, nice phone. Battery life on my is a bit arsey though. Hows it on yours ron. Not sure if it's cos im used to the very long life on my old 8310 or because (my idiotic mistake) I used the phone before fulling charging it the first time. It lasts about a day and a half if if doing a reasonably bit of talking on it.

Just doesn't seem too long.

Whats wrong with nokia's anyway, i've always liked them.

My battery last ages, remember you only get 5 hours talk time, but 1 week stanby is good, and the fact it has 2 colour screens doesnt help lol, best phone ive owned tbh

Ron

Well i've never liked them. Never had one, and dont particularly want one now!

Hmm, maybe i buggered mine then. I've never seen pictures from it on a computer, that one of the golf is excellent.

You downloaded it via IR or data cable, and where can you get hold of the adapters?

It is a cool phone, everyone who looks at it goes oh thats quite nice, then when the text scrolls accross the front its all, OOh ahhh thats cool:-)

Seeing as we're in a car group, I might as well tell everyone of my delight that I bought a new car last week after smashing up my old one (well 2nd hand, but you know)

Its a T Reg Hyundai Coupe F2 Evo in metallic blue (think err, pug/megane/clio williams blue) its a limited edition 1500 made

It looks the dogs gonads and i'm only 21 so getting something "proper" fast is out of the question especially after a write off. Renewing this in August will be painful enough :-/. But still 154bhp and 0-60 in 8.1 aint shabby at all, plus it handles very well and sounds quite rumbly thanks to some bloody great oval tailpipe.

Sony P900. I've got the Three equivalent (Motorola A925), kicks arse apart from Three-specific issues, i.e. poor battery life when using the

If you're size obsessed (i.e, want something tiny), then I guess those Motorolas sound good.

I also use an SE T610 (for GPRS) and an ancient 1994 Motorola International 3300 for those eighties flashback moments (it looks very, very similar to an original Dynatac/8000 series, but is GSM).

All depends on what you want. No sense buying a Smartphone if all you want is a mobile.

Sign up to Three, get a Motorola A920 (actually A925, but that's for non-Three, they've got Bluetooth and third-party apps now). P900 equivalent, cheap or free on Three :)
