Oh so you're a VB party member.
I'm from Walloonia, and VB has got quite a bad reputation here, ppl say the party is threatening the country. Well, i guess one fears what one doesn't know, i must confess i don't know much about the party, the program, etc. myself.
Well, i won't exactly be picking randomly, what i meant was to decide on the spot. But finally, i think i'll go for the green party Ecolo.
Good luck anyway in your campaigning efforts. |

Our party wants to split up belgium. While our party is seen as extreem right here in belgium, its actually a right party. When can't be compaired to your FN, but we have some vieuws that are similar.
Ecolo, hmm i know its a green party, but i know to little of them, i don't know if the are a leftsided green party like are groen! or more of a right sided greenparty. (their is no such thing as a center green party).
on our side groen! is looking good in the polls, they should get 8% which whould bring them back in the goverment since they had only 4% last elections, and you need 5% to participated (a rule which they voted for!).
the rize of the green party's is because of global warming. But mankind is known for its "hope". I myself am quite green sided myself, i do the maximum of efforts to save earth. but we can not stop global warming and the upcomming iceage, we can only buy time.
sorry if this shocks you but i estimate this will get cold arround 2020. Every day we win is a day we can prepare ourselfs. that why i agree we need the green party's in the goverment, but not left sides green party's.
If i lived on the french side of belgium i would problably vote for FN.

All right, all clear.
back to the issues at hand : phones. What store/chain do you recommend for mobile phone shopping/testing ?
Personally I like krefel, they're rather cheap, and you can test a wide range of phones at a shop near my home. They don't bother you if you spend 2 hours straight fidgeting with the phones...
Any other shop you'd recommend, in terms of price namely ? |

Bart you do understand that if you split Belgium, you cut yourself from about 40% of potential customers, don't you?
Although I am from Brussels, I know quite a lot of people that own companies in Flanders and I can tell you they really don't like the idea.
OK I stop here, it has nothing to do with phones.

By spliting you lose alot of custumors inside the country, but that forces company's to go more international. which is good on some points and less good on others, but in the end its it will be better.
belgium will split before 2020 if not legally, it will be done ilegally.

And you really believe Flanders is economically strong enough to resist the pressure of the huge international companies amd funding agencies?
Moreover, you really think you will have enough money to protect Flanders from the inevitable flooding that will happen before the end of the century and will come as far as the north of Brussels?
With only 6 million people and strictly no natural resource whatsoever, not even natural drinkable water.
Try to be just a little bit more open to others, they are your friends, not your enemies. And you need them to survive in today's world, either economically or climatologically.
Your unrefrained desire to be "independent" drives you directly to suicide.

 i'm glad to see a belgian esato member that fears the future.
however the floating isn't the biggest consirn my fried, its more the upcomming iceage that will freeze europe.
I think flanders is strong enough to survive the floading, the EU will donate all countries in need. And we have the hollanders, they'll come up with some nice idea's to live on water.
i want a free flanders, but i do not want to lose are french side as a friend or partner. i'm for the EU, but they shouldn't give rules, they should give gidelines, because everycountry is diffirent and should live by its own rules.

most belgians keep to their local forum.
they go to french forums or dutch forums.
i think they are getting ready for the splitting of this monkey country.
special sales in "the phone house"
SE W950 for only 199Euro

Bart when you sell a particular  handset do you tell your customers about the Forum?

not really, when selling a phone nobody is intrested in such a thing.
but i do recommand the forum when people want to do more advanced things or want to become a real phone. this is mostly when the come back after they bought the phone.
and esato is also a favorite url in some SE phones.
SE is at this moment 3th in terms of marketshare overhere. nokia has more then half the marketshare, followed by that evil company called samsung.
sales are slowly increasing for SE, but their is very little support from SE, and markething is hard to find.
i've asked the SE sales rep to come by when he's arround. that was 2 weeks ago. i hope to see him before summer ends.
