The Great American (Canadian?) Cell Phone Competition

[Rainecloud]

I own a Sony Ericsson T630.

It's nice-looking, and it takes pictures. 'Tis adequate.

I want this phone:



Currently, I have:



They don't look too different, but the one I want has camera, games, REA L sound ringtones, and wallpapers.

I have a Samsung something or other. I don't really use my phone all that much (call me sometime; 817-991-1340), so it does what I want. I only have two games, and both of them suck and aren't Snake. I like my ringtone ("Should've Been a Cowboy" by Toby Keith).

no cell phone

i also live on a mountain
basically we have bad reception all the way up here. you'd think not because we're closer to all the satellites, but it's so cold that radio waves have trouble getting around in this air.

If yer not a bumpkin or something, cellphones are the way to go. For me, it's 40$ a month for a phone line, and any amount per month (+10$ service..wtf?). I don't use the cellphone for extended periods of time (I try to keep calls < 1 minute) for a cellphone (I drop 10-20$), so it works in my favour.

I don't have a cell phone and nor do I wish to have one.

[Jojee]

I couldn't live without my cell phone

I'm a material girl. :<3:

I dunno what kind it is, though, never bothered ^_^

$300 for a PHONE??

I have a pretty awesome cell and it came absolutely free with my plan.

Dude, you got jacked. =/

1. It's in Canadian funds,
2. I own my phone outright, no plans. I pay for my time as I use it.

It's a sweet deal.

I do not have a cell phone.

[Peegee]

Wait a couple more years -- cellphones will replace analog I tell you

[Del Murder]

I don't use those either.

[Peegee]

Do you use the internet?

I have a Sony Ericsson T610. Nokia phones annoy me, despite the awesome fact that they're made in Finland, which can't be bad. Sony Ericsson phones are much easier to use.

I find it amusing that AmeriCanada is still so far behind the times when it comes to mobile phone technology, but I suppose with all that land mass to cover, it would be difficult. But then again, I suppose Japan would find it amusing that the UK is still so far behind their technology, too, so there you go.

My phone is actually a lower model phone, it just happened to suit my purpose. Our technologies are pretty on-par with what the UK has to offer, and service providers are keeping up quite well.

And I take offence to the term "AmeriCanada"...makes us sound like a corporation. Aside from which, Canadians are not Americans. We're just here for the cool stuff and free t-shirts.

I've been to America and spoken to the people at Verizon and another network thingy and they both told me that they don't have the technology the UK has to support all the features of my phone. I was annoyed! But yeah. That was around two years ago, maybe you're catching up now. The way I see it, smaller countries adapt a lot faster to technological change. NZ has stuff the UK and US doesn't because it didn't cost billions to ensure that tens of millions of people could handle the change, for example. Not always the case, but generally with the English speaking nations it's fairly accurate.

OOC:

AmeriCanda is a term I use because it saves face when confusing the two accents and it also saves me having to type 'America and Canada' all the time. There's little chance of me stopping the use of that term. I think it should be an official word. Just like all those sports that AmeriCanada plays... you call them 'National' but they're multi-national! Grrr. You only call it 'National' because you can't be bothered typing out 'American and Canadian'... just think - you could say 'AmeriCanadian!' It's ingenious. Okay, I'll shut up now.
