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

mm, plus about 15 mm of antenna. Its weight is also quite contained, only 92
grams including the battery.

Very slick phone... Siemens

Be
impressed: The SL55 is designed for desire. It's an incredible phone; it

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.
