Do you get a feeling at times that all people think are like you?.... Well, well, well, we are all humans aren't we. And when it comes to our mobiles .......
We want spares for every possible part of our phone. We want extra phone covers the day we purchase the phone, extra batteries, extra pouches, laminations, screen protectors, extra memory, funky light stickers, dual SIM cards, extra chargers, more styli, a spare of everything and we want them cheap. We dont want a scratch on the screen for years to come, no smudges, no paint getting chipped off. We want all accessories to be available in our country.
We want MP3 ringtones ... we dont care if we get all red in a lift when our mobile starts 'singing a song' and people start staring at us. We try to set the best ringtone, but always find others' ringtones better. We pray someone calls us when we have set a new ringtone!. Sometimes we 'forget' the phone at the desk and call ourselves so that others can hear the new ringtone.
We promise ourselves that we will keep our current phone for years to come, we say to ourselves - "This will be my last phone - I will spend such a huge amount only once!". But you know what.... We feel pissed off when a newer version comes into the market. We dont want anyone else close to us have the same phone as we have. We want people to ask us - "Hey which model is that?". We still browse for new phone and feel 'happy' if it does not have the features that our phone has. When it has a new feature - we say "Come on!, who would need that feature huh?"
We want everything on our computer to get transferred to our phone and vice versa. We want super duper connectivity between out phone and our PC. We do all sorts of things to make it work - card readers, use incompatible memory sticks, so much as trying to use the hard disk of our PC on our phone!
Why are we like this? ... Or is it only me?..... |

I just want 3 stripes on my fone, thats all. The point u have is based on the thing called: market economy. Its a candy, but all of of us like sweet taste.

We want to much. But if we buy new phone we are, for about a month, so god damn happy! Its worth it! Why would we still have function just for calling and messaging, if we can get almost everything we want in our phone. Who would refuse camera, video recorder, mp3 player...

Do we really need all of that features? For example: mp3, cam, video etc and a 650 mbh batt in k7. I charge my fone every they, i have to by my use, so a k7 must be charged every 5 hours. Nice car, weak motor. Thats the main point imho.

@bobafett you wouldnt be complaining if the k7 had a battery that could last more than 2 days with lots of usage and if it had duo pro. ofcource we dont need these things but we sure want them alot! the more feature the more the handset would be wanted |

Ineeed, batt performance is very important. What for the features if its constantly on the charger? Its not a mob fone anymore.

I agree with @loonee.... we want everything and we dont have any patience. But as the saying goes ... "You can never have the best. Never.".....
Regarding 'calling yourself to showoff your ringtone' - i have seen some creatures doing that. And it really gets on your nerves if the tone is a horrible one.
But what good is all this technology when my mom calls me up and says : "Why cant I hear that nice ring tone you have on your phone when I call you? All I hear is 'tring tring' " ..... Now how should I answer that question guys?
I was just feeling ashamed of myself and my greed and thats why this post. Fell much better now.
@esato moderators -> if this is in the wrong forum area, please feel free to move it to any section which is more appropriate. |

The phrase mobile fone has another meaning for every generation. The young members never used the ' orginal ' mob fones, its hard to understand for them why an r520 wrote history, but a p9 is just an apart of it imho.

Seems like you are a victim of the marketing machine whose mission is to create needs that do not exist, so that people buy it's products they don't really need with money they don't have to impress people they don't like.
