This page is about another my interest which are cell phone. I admit it, I am freak, I like to collect cell phones but since I am not a millioner yet, I can't afford it, so I am changing them, getting new one and selling old one which a little compensate new purchase. So anyway on this page I decided to post history of my cell phones:

 

My first one was Nokia 5290, big, ugly phone which I successfully lost some where, that's when I started looking for different phones and I discovered that I like to do that, they like a toys to me. 

 

So here it goes, list of all phones I ever had. It goes from most recent to oldest, enjoy!

 

First is the phone I currently have, it's Nokia 6170. In my opinion this is good reliable cell phone, at least for me and  I really like this one.

That was the phone I traded my GD87 for and tell you the truth never regretted about that. At first I was really impressed with GD87, but after a while it start tripping, switching on/off whenever it felt like it, loosing connection whenever it felt like it and at one point I just said that's it, I've had enough. I got this and didn't regret

 

Panasonic X70 SPECIFICATIONS

The heir to the lucky Panasonic GD87, the point of reference for Camera Phones, the X70 repeats its main features and qualities. However, it has improved upon the design, and it has a thinner, more elegant shape. For a telephone with an integrated camera, its dimensions are very compact, measuring only 87 x 47 x 24 mm, plus about 15 mm of antenna. Its weight is also quite contained, only 92 grams including the battery.

Recently I had a chance to play with new Siemens SL55 phone. I liked it very much but I couldn't keep it for my self because I got it as a present for my girlfriend. Very slick phone...

 

Siemens SL55 SPECIFICATIONS

Be impressed: The SL55 is designed for desire. It's an incredible phone; it combines a flashing design with innovation and all the features a state of the art phone should offer. Smaller and lighter than ever before, it reveals its inner qualities when you slide it open and discover the faceted keys. They flash like jewels in a treasure chest, it's a unique phone to hold. The SL55 comes in two colors. Ruby red and titan like black diamonds. You will love to display it and hang it around your neck. SL55 is too beautiful to disappear in your pocket.

Before that I had a chance to play with new Nokia phone: Nokia 3650. Tons of different options, half of them useless. But if you decide that you won't to change alarm ring tone... ops, can't do that. There is one more thing: size matters!!! I understand that you gotta have a space to fit digital photo camera, digital video camera, external memory card, etc but it does not change fact that size matters. I'll wait until they utilize all that and it will become smaller and will also have those options which you can really use in everyday life, not only ones you'll use to show of in front your friends...

 

Nokia 3650 SPECIFICATIONS

With a VGA Digital Camera and full motion Audio and Video Recorder integrated into the phone, you can capture and share the moments in your life that you can’t describe with words alone. After taking a picture or video, share them with your friends and family via email or on the full color screen. This phone is loaded with other great features, too! The phone is tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz) so you can make and receive calls around the world. Plus, you can download Megatones (Ring Tones that sound like real music) or access your e-mail, play Internet games and more!

As you already know I had Motorola before and I mentioned that the thing I didn't like most of all is that its rings suck quality as well as loudness, well guess what, even though this one has Poly Ring Tones (which, who doesn't know sound more like real music), it still has same problem. But in general it's a nice, reliable phone with good connection quality like all Motorola phones.

This phone is full of fun features and has an extra large screen to enjoy them on! Play Games! Use the camera accessory to take snapshots and send them to any e-mail address using t-zones.
