DISQUS

jamesrush · 5 months ago

Researching the correct use of 'what' and 'which' on the net, I couldn't help but respond to this, if only because it illustrates the mistake in question.

As to 'which' cellphone I use, I'm happy to say that I've not owned one since 1986, when I had one of the first of these irritating and intrusive idiot boxes in the UK.

My ownership of it was no more than a vulgar statement of wealth and prestige, as in common with the vast majority of people, I had no need to be in constant or indeed instant communication. I also quickly realised how throughly irritating to others my airing the banalities of my life wouold be.

I, and indeed tens (or perhaps hundreds) of billions of my fellows on planet earth, can now be equally self-absorbed and tedious on forums such as this.

'What' is fascinating is that there are clearly a number of people for whom the model of cellphone they own is an important, maybe vital issue.

jakeZ · 5 months ago

Seriously?
Take a deep breath.
Though cell phones and their users can be irritating, I think you should look at some of the good things that have come with the advent of the of this device.
Think of the lives that have been save because emergency services could be reached quickly and from remote locations. Think of people in third world nations that have access to telecommunications that otherwise wouldn't.

Alex Whiteside · 4 months ago

'What' is fascinating is that someone with an intense dislike of "instant communication" maintains an internet account, and uses that powerful enabling technology to complain to arbitrarily-selected strangers about their trivial grammatical errors.

Alex Whiteside · 4 months ago

On your other charge: cellphones are expensive. Which model one chooses becomes rather important when spending a week's wages.

Nick Morgowicz · 5 months ago

Using Nokia N97. Looking forward to next gen nokia with symbian^2 OS, 8+MP cam, 720p video recording, qwerty+touchscreen, and MORE FREAKING RAM. :)

Currently using: E71. Looking forward to: E72.

qbaas · 5 months ago

Using E71 , Looking f to E72. The size matters. The smaller the better :) The things I am missing in E71 are coming in E72. I do not want a touch screen. I really am fast using my laptop and It also does not have a touch screen like Tablets do. I think touch screen can be complimentary to keyboard. but you can sure live without it.
What counts is finally I will have 5 MPX back ( I used to have N95 8 GB)
and this missing 3.5 jack!!!

Now this will be the phone I will definitly buy!

MT · 5 months ago

I have a phone, but it's not a Nokia. In fact, my phone is more than 6 years old.I'm definitely due for a new one. And it looks like I might jump to the E72. Unless.......they come up with a more interesting phone, then I will wait for it.

Ara Bextiyar Qadir · 5 months ago

Currently Using Nokia n85 and looking forward to a non-Nokia or non-SymbianOS cellphone. Such as an Android powered phone or PalmPre. Since using the n85 I'm very mad of Nokia as its the worst phone i have ever had and the worst phone Nokia had ever made. (except in the camera and the oled screen).

gunmeat · 5 months ago

Using N82, looking forward for E72. N97 is a nice gadget, but too big for me.
Want to use E72 until nokia comes with a smaller, thinner touch mobile in 2010.

Using a Nokia N78. Looking forward to another candybar N-series to replace my N78, maybe the N79 that's already out. No touch for me after having bought the N97 and returning it shortly after. I like my T9 keypad.

jakeZ · 5 months ago

I purchased the N79 for my wife. She loves it. She was using the N95 8GB, but likes this more. For a small phone the features are amazing. You wont be disappointed if you purchase it.

andrewso · 5 months ago

Using Nokia N82. Looking forward to Nokia E72.

My N82 is invaluable but I don't think I'll replace it for another few years. I'm looking for something E-series (for the build quality and battery life) similar to the E75 but I've played with it in store and the menu/soft keys feel too bunched together for my liking.

Lupa · 5 months ago

Still using N95 (RM-159). I'll try 5800 because of the touchscreen, but I'm really interested in Palm Pre (for my wife -_^) and HTC Hero.

Greg777 · 5 months ago

Currently using an unlocked E71. Had an E61i (also unlocked) prior to that. Tried an N85 in between, but sent back within 2 weeks because of build quality & software glitches.

Next device will probably be HTC Hero, when unlocked NAM version is available.

S60 is getting a little long in the tooth, but I still need a device that had multi-app capability and will multi-task without crashing or draining a battery in half a day. So, on both counts, the iPhone is out of the question, as is anything with WinMo. Not interested in the Pre, so Android OS is all that's left (unless Symbian comes out with something compelling in the next year....). Not sure if the on-screen keyboard will be acceptable, though.

Aaron · 5 months ago

Using the N97 good so far not looking forward to anything except for a software update.

net9 · 5 months ago

Using the N97 exclusively after my N95 died last week. Looking forward to something similar to the N97 with more memory, higher MP camera, and a more polished UI. Aside from that, the N97 is perfect for my needs.

I really can't wait to see the new Nokia Internet Tablet design and specs. Maybe one of those is in my future.

jp · 5 months ago

why don't you just direct users to the poll on hofo?

jakeZ · 5 months ago

Currently using a Nokia N95-3. It's still an amazing piece of hardware. The specs hold up really well for a phone of its age. I was thinking about getting an N86. I want the fm transmitter for my car stereo. I'm tired of the wires and adaptors, but I think I'm going to hold out for the next generation of phones that will use Symbian^2. The C or XSeries(?).

myfreehandblog · 5 months ago

using E71 from 9to5 and 5730 XM afterwards and sometimes also in parallel. had a 5800 before but sold it after 2 month (5th edition touch UI sucks !) and tried N97, but .... 5th edition UI sucks and N97-keypad is simply a bad joke (especially compared to E71).
the only thing i´m looking forward is - maybe - the upcoming E72

Nico · 5 months ago

Currently using: E71. Looking forward to: Blackberry Tour / Curve 8900

Why? For two simple reasons. I bought this phone because I wanted a nice mobile e-mail client and a good mobile browser.

1. The E71's e-mail client is just crap. Not intuitive, slow, hanging up all the time, no HTML, slow attachment handling, no e-mail body download. Drawback of all other solutions: either they don't integrate into the devices messaging app (like nokia e-mail, profimail making it inconvenient to switch between sms and e-mail using the messaging key) or they do not download your entire mailbox but only the last couple of days (like sevenmail or nokia e-mail)

2. The browser is a catastrophe. Why can't the world's biggest mobile phone manufacturer create a mobile browser that shows mosst websites without a hassle and in an acceptable amount of time? Alternatives like Bolt, Skyfire etc. are way better but none of them does all the sites plus I have to manually reenter my favourites and they are slow to load.

The only two requirements I had for this phone are not accomplished. What do you think?

Fusiongt · 5 months ago

N82 for me. I'm looking forward to HTC Hero... at least would like to give it a try. I love Nokia's... they were definitely the best cellphone 2 years ago, but now things have changed and there's more options. I'm still sure Nokia will release a great OS (modification of Android or better looking Symbian?) but until they do, I'm open to different phones now. I still love my N82 so I'm in no rush to change.

Alihendro · 5 months ago

Using E71,best slimline multi-taker Nokia ever created,will upgrade to E72 ,but really needa replacement,modern Nokia communicator as a key business applications missing are timed profiles and FAX............if they get a native fax facility on E72,somehow, then I willstick to Eseries as cant be bettered for business, the battery just goes and goes and goes.

jeran · 5 months ago

currently none. dismissed my N97 because the software is such a disappointment. firmware update in my region still not available and the software update (the one with nokia messaging and so on) crashed the N97 twice in a row - had to take out the battery...

not to mention the crappy app store... still not much there

and gallery still slow as hell - waiting for a real update. probably this helps... probably nokia does something nice with maebo (the n810 stuff) and comes up with a maebo phone :)

really pissed @ nokia atm... :(

Chris · 5 months ago

Using Nokia N95. Looking forward to a Nokia with an ARM Cortex A9, or a Nokia with a more responsive UI. The N97 just doesn't seem to cut it, although I expect this will be my interim device - the N95 isn't going to last another 12 months :-(

I'm using the E71 and went back to my N95-3 while I wait for my N97 to come back from the warranty repair center. I'll probably end up selling my E71 and getting the E72, but I haven't decided yet. I'm hoping they release one just like it but wider with a 2.6" display. That would be perfect, but I highly doubt it'll happen. I just want my N97 back.

Looking forward to updates, virtual memory to boost the lack of physical RAM is possible.

It was full of bugs when it was released, but is much more stable now, helped by the fact I formatted and reset mine to start from scratch, and now have almost everything installed on the Mass Memory.

There are still several bugs remaining, updates are problematic, and the lack of hardware graphics acceleration and codec support for various video formats such as divx are remaining issues, but overall I am very happy with the device.

Am using the N97 which i like but dont love. I currently pre ordered the N86 from nokiausa.com. What frustrates me is that the NYC flagship store got it in stock and the folks like me who pre ordered have yet to receive our pre order. So whats the sense of pre ordering?

I was going to pre order the n900 but i am tempted to wait to see if there will be a variant for use with AT&T. I am definitely not switching to tmobile just for one phone.

sachaobado · 3 months ago

I am using a Nokia E16i and i am looking forward to an E72, N900,N96,E55 and an E75. These are just great phones. Nokia to me is considered the best fone brand at the moment. I just love that they brought out the Eseries and they are amazing.

well I am currently using 2 phones. 5800 and E65 I am planning to sell them both and get a new one. I thinking of either the N97 or the N900. but I am leaning more to the N97 because I think it might take the N900 a while till I can make sure that the software and hardware are stable.
the nice thing about the N97 that it is taking alot of focus from Nokia and from the developers society and that is making it one special phone.

Nico · 2 months ago

I'm on an N82 (and an N810). The N900 makes me go "oooh pretty!", and the N86 certainly looks good as a replacement for the N82.

But really, I have no reason to upgrade for the moment. My phone does pretty much everything I need. If Nokia would fix a few bugs it'd be perfect.

Denise Toner · 2 months ago

Not using a nokia at the minute got a C905, didnt see a nokia I wanted at time of upgrade (so bored with it now) next upgrade is in 8 months :o( so long to have to wait but it will definitely be the N97 I go for next ... looks like a fantastic phonecan wait to get my hands on it.

This is gonna be sad, but a year ago, till just 1 week ago..I was currently using Nokia N75. But THEN it stopped working 1 week ago because of the Nokia's "White Screen of Death". I don't know what caused it.

But I am looking forward to using my dream phone...
the Nokia N82!!!!!!
Because I love taking high quality pictures of myself wherever I am (aka I'm a camera whore pretty much..haha!) But Nokia 5800 XpressMusic or Nokia N97 Mini will be my god phones because of their touchscreen features and almost everything I'm looking for (:

I was looking forward to a 3G phone as that service is now available to me in NH, but unfortunately I don't see a worthy replacements for the N82 + 3G + Xenon and need a new phone now and I think for the price N900 is the best option instead of a new battery!
