It's nice to have GPRS phone!

**temeteus82** · Sep 23, 2006, 10:58 AM

Last Friday (22nd). My ISP’s ADSL network had some kind of failure affecting connections in my area. I called to their tech support and I learn that they can start fixing it next Tuesday. Due some dispute in with the people that keeps it up and running. So now I use my failback connection my Nokia 6600 GPRS data modem! I can read my email, use messenger and come to here. And it only costs 4€/25Mb ... So I'm not loading images etc... flash is the only down side :P

[EDIT] 100 more post to full 1000

heh... I'm just happy that I have this data pack from my operator, it's the same company that my ISP is. DH looks a bit odd with no images

Yea it can come in handy indeed! This summer when my line was down due to some road work (they accidently cut the cable twice!) I had web access through my 3G phone, and it worked flawless.

Sounds to mee the normal way in Sweeden to mess things up

Yeah next phone will bee 3G, I had small chat with tech support and I learned the if I would have 3G phone it would work as fast the 3G specs are

So I'll start saving money for N93

Mike what phone you have ?

At the moment I have a Sony Ericsson k800i, and the GF use a Nokia 6680...both are awesome phones imo.

Haha, yes Nokia makes very good phones indeed, but at the moment I preffer the k800i myself. I've used several Nokia mobiles in the past and they have all served me well.

I dont like nokias. I generally buy SE. They aren't necessarily as durable but if you're not prone to dropping them they have a bit more style than the competition and their reception is unbeatable. 1 bar still gets damn good calls.

Anyway I'm thinking of switching all the way over to 3g for internet. $20 a month for unlimited internet through 3g is tough to beat.

[EDIT] My phone is now in another room

I love Bluetooth !!!

Geminiwave · Sep 24, 2006, 03:48 AM

god I know. bluetooth rules. Its great with a headset too cause when i was on t-mo reception was HORRIBLE (no 850mhz band) so I put my phone on the ledge outside my window and I Could walk all over the room with my headset on

**temeteus82** · Sep 24, 2006, 03:53 AM

yeah, bt's range is only 10m but usually it's enough...

Btw. My ADSL line just started working again... they had some hardware failures some where.

for a walkman a cell is tough to beat especially with bluetooth. how many battery hours does a walkman have compared to a cell.i personally can go two days without a charge with moderate use.i originally had vcast and open wave through verizon,but never really toyed with it due to lack of funds.it can do everything a media center should do like watch tv send emails multiplay games its made by motorola if i can find the serial # i'll post the model

I own mobile phones for a bit over a decade now and my current one SE W810i is my favourite. In general I prefer SE phones, great reception and if you take care of them they will server you well. I don't like NOKIA phones from a purely aesthetic pov. I know they are not, but they all look the same to me. Except Ngage, that i admit had it for a while.
