I really miss good old times in Esato when people talked about mobile phones. Discussion was about the look of the phone, size and weight, battery perfomance, signal strength and about other things ordinary people can understand. But now... many forums in Esato are like chinese language (sorry, Chinese people  ). Even if ordinary people like me understand words they don't understand what is the issue. Or in the other hand, people are talking only about megapixels, camera performance, music listening and other that kind stuff.
As I have read from forums, many new members in Esato are very young. So they are talking about kids stuff  I can understand that.
Maybe we need a special grown up section? Hmm.. but techno-freaks can be adults as well
I guess I just have to accept that Esato has changed so much.. Good old days are gone..

Its changing all the time, the modding community is still quite healthy, but there are so many phones out there now that its rare that enough people get together to talk about the same one.

Nothing wrong with a good debate  But its rare that they end amicably.
No, it began as an  community, before SE was formed.

well its not 2003 anymore and the current trend is mega pixels and this and that. if esato has these discussions then its keeping up with the time. instead of being an old wine, esato is an energy drink. I have no problems with that

okhay,
w980i should be better than w960i because its battery life is so more!
But then, w960i has to be better because, its screen size is .4" bigger than w980i!!!!! What do you have to say?

everything in this life has its time and place. mobile phones used to be not as accessible as now. everybody can get hold of more than one phone now. we gotta face that the phones' performance has got a lot better than years back. battery is not an issue to discuss these days.
mobiles phones are in an era where the internet mobile, wireless connectivity and freedom rule. we're not guilty that this forum welcomes everyone but keep the good vibe it's had all this time.

I don't agree with that at all! Maybe the battery issue is now even more important, because mobile phone is basically a small computer and need a lot of energy. So the battery must be better and better to handle with that.
And as you can read from posts, people still talking about battery.
For me I add some other important issuses. The one big problem of nowadays phones: they are so damned glossy! They look elegant only when you open the box. I don't understand that. So I am glad if some phones have fingerprint and grease resistant surface.
And also I wait when there will be again mobile phones with matt glass display. Some high end laptops have also matt glass display and it's still vivid enough. (I have talked about in one other forum). Mobile phone is not a mirror you only look at wall!
Like in good old days the weight and dimensions are also very important for me. Mobile phones should weight less than 100 g and better than 90 g. The size of T68i is very good. And the shape of T68i! It's still the best one in the world! Why almost all other phones of these days are so bulky?!
In good old days people talked also about reception capapility. Sure the networks are much better now but there are still a lot of bad coverage areas. And when you travel you might find no network coverage at all. If you locate in the edge of bad coverage area, the reception capability is very important. (I praise my K610i: it has been logged in to network, when some othe phones could not done that)
And one very important issue that people have forget about. The phone's capability to work in different frequencyes and systems! I guess that many young people even don't know about that. It was great news when there were first two-band GSM phones: GSM 900 / 1800. Then Motorola added Timeport, the true world phone: GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900...
Now there are a few phones which support 7 (!) differents frequencyes / systems. Like K850i: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 + WCDMA 850 / 1900 / 2100!
Many people even don't think about it. It's a pity because this kind capability is very important especially if you like to travel. Some years ago people travelled from Europe to USA with GSM 900/1800 phones and in USA they were badly surprised when their phone did not find the network.
Ok. I finish at the moment. Please excuse my bad English. |
