What kind of phone do you have?
 
I just bought a new Samsung today. It looks pretty cool.

No frills. I'm not someone who cares about having a nice phone. I have a £15 phone to call and text, that's it. I have a tablet for my mobile needs so see no use for a smart phone.

I don't have a smartphone either. This is just a thread about phones, man.

Didn't say you did, ma man. I'm so out of the loop on phones that I wouldn't even know if the one you bought is a smart phone or not. I thought it was when I looked at it but I wasn't implying that you're some mindless consumer who has to have the latest gear.

I'm not sure what you mean with your second sentence. I have a phone too - I presumed the thread was about all phones - be it the most state of the art or the most archaic. I was simply stating that my phone is pretty **** and low end but it performs the basic functions I require from a phone so I'm a happy bunny. I don't need a phone which can access the internet, play music etc when I'm out and about because A) I have other things that play music and B) I don't want to browse the internet in cafes or in the street.

It's not a smartphone, I think.
I don't care anyway. I'm only going to use it for texts and calling.

Prowler 01-03-2015 02:52 PM

My first one was a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3. My current one is a Vodafone LTE 4G. It was quite cheap, especially by using the points I've accumulated. I first wanted to get a newer Samsung model, but holy ****, they're expensive as hell. And what for? Just to have Samsung apps? Pass.

Yes, that's the point I was making. I only use phones for texting and calling so there's no need for me to have anything fancy. A £15 PAYG is fine by me. In fact I barely use it anyway. I've topped up with £10 twice in the last six months, I think.

Fun fact: I used my previous phone (a Nokia) for 6 years.

Top man. That makes a lot of sense in this fast-moving, saturated market.

I have so little respect for phones that I don't even know what model mine is. It's a Nokia I think, but I don't know the exact type. It's downstairs right now. I tried to google for something which is identical to it but I couldn't find anything.

Of all the phones I've had the one that lasted the longest was a Nokia my parents had bought me in 2007. It lasted until it broke in 2012. That's when I got my first smartphone ever. They don't seem as durable, though.

IndigoErth 01-03-2015 03:29 PM

Mine is pretty similar actually, an older Samsung model I've had a few years via Virgin Mobile.

Likewise, I probably won't bother having a smart phone until there is no other option.

Davetello 01-03-2015 03:30 PM

That you in the phone photo? Hot stuff :lol:

Prowler 01-03-2015 03:31 PM

Flip phones looked cool... but I never found them very practical.

TigerClaw 01-03-2015 03:32 PM

I'm still using a Samsung Galaxy S3, but with an extended battery in it. :)

No... :lol: Who knows who they hired for their stock image, but it wasn't me.

Yeah, I was being facetious seeing as it was a professional photo.

If there was any chance it was you I'd never have said that. That would have been way too sleazy.

Gunpowder 01-08-2015 02:09 AM

I still have a slide phone (LG) with a keyboard and all. I don't feel that I need a smart phone...as long as it can send/receive texts and calls, I'm set.

Candy Kappa 01-08-2015 02:41 AM

I have a Nokia N which I got from my mom after my old one died. Had it for a few years now.

Although, my mom did buy me a used iPhone 4 from a friend of hers, but I haven't started using it yet.

joefsas 01-08-2015 04:59 AM

Got me an Iphone 4s...I love the thing :D

MrPliggins 01-08-2015 07:27 AM

Just got an iPhone 6 at the end of December after having a flip phone for about 5 years. It's great but it's too easy to text now. I find myself texting much more.

Jephael 01-19-2015 06:10 PM

I have a Samsun Galaxy S5. The thing is awesome! Before that though I was using a Droid Charge.

Netkeeper 01-19-2015 06:32 PM

I have the best phone.


TigerClaw 01-19-2015 06:34 PM

I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S3 from Virgin Mobile.

CaliperCat 01-19-2015 11:08 PM

I just got a Kyocera Brigadier about a week ago. The thing's military grade, which is good, because I've got to be one of the top 10 clumsiest people who ever lived. Before that, I had a Samsung Intensity 2. I loved the sliding keyboard on it, and if I'd kept it another month, I would've had it for four years. Everyone else in my family needed new phones, though, and some of the buttons had quit working.

Peanut 01-20-2015 12:05 AM

I have an iPhone 4S, which is the biggest mistake I've made in a long time. First and last Apple product I ever buy.

It's only the third cell phone I've owned in about 10 years. I hate phones.

DarkFell 01-20-2015 12:22 AM

Motorola smartphone. That's how I'm typing to you guys. Hi there.

And Peanut..I'm in the same boat as you. Lost two cheapy phones, *one fell out of my purse, second one fell out of my backpack* and the last three had technical difficulties. Me thinks they're just cheaply made..and the smaller phones are just easier to lose. :/

Slade 01-21-2015 07:54 PM

iPhone 4s. I need to upgrade. :D

TheCanadiandrome 01-21-2015 08:04 PM

i have a iPhone 5s, and depending on what's out there come December, I'll be either gettin a 6 Plus or 7

Lisardo 01-22-2015 05:33 PM

I have the LG Xpression. It's a touchscreen slider phone, tho it's technically not a smartphone. It's a Smart Feature Phone, :) While I agree with others that I don't really 'need' a smartphone, I wouldn't mind getting one someday. Probably the next phone I get will be one, but till then I have a tablet.

Raph's Girl 01-22-2015 05:43 PM

I have a Nokia Lumia 521. It's a windows phone. I wasn't really interested in getting a "smart" phone but my mom kept on insisting I get one so I finally caved in when I saw Nokia made em. Meh. I mostly use it to play games and go online and text my mom.

blindturtle02 01-22-2015 05:49 PM

I have one of those godawful flip phones because I don't think they make iPhones with buttons. Mine is seriously old. I get by though.

rofl, hey my Mom would say it's all ya need :lol:

Katie 01-22-2015 09:09 PM

iPhone 6. I got it when I updated my phone plan. Before that I had an LG with a slide out keyboard. Poor thing was on its last legs too

Memphis 01-22-2015 09:19 PM

HTC One M8. I like it, no flash player on the default browser, but I manage.

Digital Ghost 01-22-2015 09:21 PM

Samsung Note 3... best phone I've owned thus far. Love the Sketch app as well. My wife has the S5 and loves it too.

billbot85 01-25-2015 11:51 AM

Samsung Galaxy S4, got it back in September. Love it so far! I find that photos come out really good with the camera. Pretty fast and reliable so far.

Before then, I had a Droid 4 with a slide-out keyboard that I got back in 2012. It was good at first, then it began freezing up all the time and taking forever to respond to simple actions, such as texting and calling. So glad when I finally upgraded. I do miss having a slide-out keyboard, though.

pandaderek 01-28-2015 03:32 AM

iPhone 6 plus. I was with Samsung phones, but, the Amoled screens have low longevity. My previous phone galaxy S3 screen's started to tint green and had image-burn.

Andrew NDB 09-27-2019 06:30 PM

I'm about to trade in my Samsung Galaxy S8+ and get a Samsung Galaxy S10+. Stoked about that.

CyberCubed 09-27-2019 07:36 PM

Either iphone 5 or 6, I forget which. I barely ever use it, mostly to tell time since I don't wear a watch and for photos. I only pay $30 a month thank god, because previously I was paying $60 a month and felt ripped off.
