Joining me on the couch is one of Esato's oldest members and a fellow Scot. He is one of those Esatonians who needs no introduction, it's Superluminova.
What do you like most about Esato?
Superluminova says:
Hi, Thanks for inviting me on to your rather relaxing couch, Its very hard to define what I like most about Esato but I’d have to say that it’s freedom to talk to people about any subject not just phones and also getting the chance to speak to people from all over the world.
Who is your favourite member?
Superluminova says:
Erm… I don’t really have one. Your all my favourites, lol
Who is your favourite moderator?
Superluminova says:
Masseur as I’ve only every really spoken to him, but when I have spoken to him he has always been very helpful, so he kinda win’s by default.
What is your favourite Esato moment?
Superluminova says:
The first UK thread and the beginning of the second one, because most of the time we’d just talk about random subjects and also the amount of post it used to receive each day was scary, page after page. Those were fun times.
What is your least favourite Esato moment?
Superluminova says:
I don’t have one as life’s to short to worry about what happens on the web, so nothing at all.
You are one of the oldest Esatonians, have you noticed any changes since you joined Esato over the years?
Superluminova says:
Yeah the pace of esato has slowed down a considerable amount since I joined, but I think that’s due to the fact that technology in phones isn’t as exciting anymore, because in the beginning when the t68 came out the colour screen and features were new and revolutionary and also we didn’t expect so much from our phones. Where as today people complain if there phone doesn’t have a 5 mega pixel, 3x optical zoom camera within a phone the size of a t66.
Despite being one of the oldest members, your post count is relatively low; have you become bored with Esato or do you just not post a lot?
Superluminova says:
My post count is low due to personal reasons, when I joined esato I was in my first year at college and I had a set timetable, where as now at university my timetable isn’t set and I have more work to do and because I don’t have a timetable I don’t know what I’m doing one day to the next so I never really have time to post anymore.
Which mobile do you currently use?
Superluminova says:
At the present time I’m using the s700i, and I’m loving every second of it as it my favourite toy until, something new catches my eye.
Which mobile are you most looking forward to?
Superluminova says:
Nothing as SE haven’t announced anything that I really like, the v800 looks interesting from a design point of view but other than that it looks like I’ll be keeping the s700i for the foreseeable future.
Do you have a message for Esato?
Superluminova says:
Yeah, keep up the good work as I feel that its running nice and smoothly at the moment.
Thanks again for let me relax on your couch,
Supperluminova
I hope you enjoyed the interview and will be able to join me next time when I shall be interviewing k700nut. Please also look out for my upcoming chats with miss uk and Esato legends ajack and MixiN.

On the couch this time I have one of Esato's newest and fastest rising stars. He has been making a name for himself with frequent posts across Esato and has come to be regarded as a friendly face by more than a few; I am speaking, of course, about k700nut.
What's the best thing about esato?
k700nut says:
the best thing about esato is the wide array of subjects that are covered here,in addition to that,they are often answered by knowledgeable people,and often promptly.
Who is your favourite member of esato?
k700nut says:
there are a few,but first and foremost i'd say jn,axxxr,lynx69 and yourself.i often cry with laughter at your and jn's statements,and i like lynx69,cos he's ordered me some free o2 sims.lol.
What's your favourite esato moment?
k700nut says:
not really been around long enough to provide an answer mate.
What's your least favourite esato moment?
k700nut says:
as above on this one mate,sorry.
You haven't been an esato member all that long,and you seem to have inntegrated into the esato community very quickly.many newbies post a few times and don't participate beyond that,what made you stay?
k700nut says:
i decided to stay,because it's a very knowledgeable,friendly and often humerous msg board.i think i'll be stayin for a while.
Older members are often blinkered in their view of esato;is their anything about estato you find off putting?
k700nut says:
i like most things about esato,but often feel nokia users get dismissed to a degree....but i suppose it's predominantly an se board really.
Which mobile are you currently using?
k700nut says:
i've got 5,but am presently using a p900.
What mobile are you most looking forward to?
k700nut says:
i'm intrigued by the v800...but aren't going to buy one.
Do you have a message for esato?
k700nut says:
my message to laffen,masseur,etc,is;keep up the a1 work,and keep this msg board the GREATEST in the world!
Next time my guest will be one of Esato's most famous members, MixiN. I hope you will all be able to join me on the couch for that.

My guest on the couch is one of the all time greats of Esato, although I'm sure he would hate that title, being as modest as he is. Famed for many things, not least of all his fondness for a certain Dutch Esatonian, it is arguably a pink P800 that he is best known for; I am of course speaking of the one and only MixiN.
What is the best thing about Esato?
MixiN says:
this is where i'm supposed to say "it's a great place to chat to like minded people and it's fun too"but the best thing about it is the fact i can naff off and not post for a bit and come back and it's all the same pap
Who is your favourite member of Esato?
MixiN says:
I'm not to sure. Vlammy is my fave but shes not an esato person now i've met her... of all time, my favourite member of esato has to be Eamonn.
Who is your favourite moderator?
MixiN says:
I'll say laffen. Not as much a moderator, but more admin, but he's like a God to us all.
What is your favourite Esato moment?
MixiN says:
favourite moment: Making the pink800 and sideways software hoaxes were top fun. I've never seen anything of mine spread through loads of internet forums so quickly
What is your least favourite Esato moment?
MixiN says:
least favourite moment: erm March17th 2003 was a black day for esato. Use the search to find out more
As one of Esato's most famous and respected members, do you feel that you can't post the way you would want to?
MixiN says:
Not at all. just because i've been around for a bit longer than other members, doesnt mean i should act any different. I'll always make my point clear if i feel the need, and i'll say it however i feel fit
I have asked a question similar to this one to a few members now; do you feel that there is a negative relationship between the older Esatonians and newer members?
MixiN says:
Not nessesarily between older and newer members. I personally think that because more and more people are joining and the community is becoming larger, there's gonna be more flaming and mixed opinions. I wouldn't say "veterans" hate "newbies" and visa versa. Although there are some newer members i can't stand!
Names?
MixiN says:
no comment 
Which mobile are you currently using?
MixiN says:
Ericsson T66
Which mobile are you most looking forward to?
MixiN says:
Suprisingly there are no new mobiles i like. Had my eye on the S700 for a bit but no it's been released, i've realised i have no need in my life for it
Do you have a message for Esato?
MixiN says:
12th december 2006 - Mark it in your diary. It's the day the Earth will end.
Oh, and remember to bring on of those lint roller thinghies if you get interviewed. I think scotsboy here lets his dog sleep on the couch
Thank you to my guest, MixiN, and I hope you can join me again soon when I will be interviewing Ayush, miss uk, Staz081227 and Sammy_boy.

@Gigs
Perhaps I can persuade MixiN to publish some nice pink ones for you.
@all
Thanks awfully for the feedback, very much appreciated. There are more interviews coming up and I would like to remind everyone that anyone who wishes to sit on the couch should pm me.

@Asterix
Turning left on a plane is the best way to travel, at least since Concorde was retired, although Concorde was actually very cramped. The great benefit of First is the free booze. I don't mind an interview on location in the front section of a 747 if you you don't.

Joining me the couch is an Esato favourite. He has established a reputation for himself as something of Esato's Mr Nice. He reguarly contributes to threads all over Esato, often offering useful advice to new and old members alike. It is my great pleasure to be chatting with Sammy_boy.
What is the best thing about Esato?
Sammy_boy says:
-The diversity of different people from different parts of the world (although mainly Europe and Asia), all sharing one common interest -  and mobiles! And there are some very knowledgeable people here to help on pretty much any subject - I'm still asking for help on some subjects!
Who is your favourite member of Esato?
Sammy_boy says:
-Not sure if I have one in particular - meths, mince, and you can be very funny, JN is fascinating and wonderfully eccentric, vlamm's nice, bobafett wouldn't harm a fly and gets really excited if you have an /// phone  , there's some really interesting characters here, too many to mention!
Who is your favourite moderator?
Sammy_boy says:
- hmmm, not sure, Masseur seems firm but fair, but I'm sure they all do a sterling job.
What is your favourite Esato moment?
Sammy_boy says:
- I hate these kinds of questions, never sure what to say! I think whenever I've helped someone with something, and they've posted or pm'd me a thankyou.
What is your least favourite Esato moment?
Sammy_boy says:
- A scary moment when Masseur pm'd me and told me to watch my language after someone complained - but I was relieved when it turned out to be a misunderstanding and the warning was meant for someone else - I don't think I've sworn really yet on Esato!
You seem to have integrated yourself into the Esato community very quickly; do you consider yourself to be a veteran and do you want to be seen in that light?
Sammy_boy says:
- I'm not sure, I don't feel like I've been here long, but have posted rather a lot! I still feel a bit of a newby next to people like Mixin, Bart, boba, etc.
It is perhaps fair to call you the 'quiet man of Esato' as you rarely engage in the more heated threads; how do you feel about such a title and is this a deliberate strategy?
Sammy_boy says:
- It's strange how peoples' personalities come through, even on internet forums - I'm a quiet person in real life! I think it's a fair to call me that - although I have sometimes made the odd post or comment in a flame war - usually a sarcastic on questioning one! No deliberate strategy - but I might post something silly in a flame war to try to 'de-escalate' it.
Which mobile are you currently using?
Sammy_boy says:
- A K700, and also have a couple of other phones, but the k7's the main one. Just bought a P900 off Merc-Man, can't wait to get that, I regret getting rid of my P800!
Which mobile are you most looking forward to?
Sammy_boy says;
- I seem to have been bitten by the smartphone bug, so I'd like to see the replacement to the P900/P910, should be a cracker!!
Do you have a message for Esato?
Sammy_boy says:
- Be nice to each other - there seems to be a lot of flame wars about at the moment - remember there are always two sides to a story, no one's ever 100% in the right, be a bit more tolerant! And don't take yourself too seriously
Oops, waffled a bit, haven't I, sorry!
I'd like to thank my guest for his time and invite you all to join me again when my guests will include Ayush, Asterix and ajack.
