I dunno whether you guys have noticed this. Don't you think our phones have 'personalities' of their own? Even the same models behave differently. You can recognise your phone just by pressing its keypad if it is placed besides a same identical looking model. And our phones have some behaviour which are exclusive to them. For eg. My T230 occasionally keeps on displaying the message ' data account not set up' for no apparent reason! Does this happen only with me?

My P80 is a little eccentric - despite a recent firmware update it occasionally decides to hand or turn itself off. Not enough for it to be a worry, I suppose it gives the phone 'character'

Unfortunately, one of the major reasons why two or more phones of the same model might be different, or might have different 'personalities', is probably the lack of effective and sufficient QA.

Unless one have deliberately tampered with the phone, that is.

Actually, I think my phone's got an incredibly sexy behaviour...just looking at it's sleek, smooth, shiny body leaves one wanting! No other phone can compare to this baby...they all pale in comparison when sitting next to mine...ooooh baby....

No, actually, other than my own personalisations I'm afraid it's actually just a phone to me

buluayam: I hope that phone hasn't gone to strange places if you describe it like that

Mostly I can recognize my phone by watching the scratch made by my Z600's friends "keys" and "coins".

And by the broken "necklace string" that hangs in the corner.
