I am very happy having found this forum two months ago, i found answers to many questions i had, i also was able to help some people with stuff that i knew.... Now i would like to make a little survey, as this is the "general discussions" forum, i hope it is not misplaced, and, more important, it is allowed... I do NOT work with or for Nokia, i just want to know this out of my own personal interest....
My questions would be:

01) Your Name?
02) Your country?
03) Since when do you use mobile phones?
04) Which was your first mobile phone ever?
05) Which other models did you use?
06) Which one do you use now?
07) Are you happy with your current phone?
08) Why are you happy/unhappy with it?
09) Would you recommend this make/model to a friend?
10) Which one do you plan to get as the next one?

and i start here with myself.....

Using mobile since: 1996

Used mobiles: Siemens S4, Ericsson 1018, Ericsson A2618s
Nokia 331x, Nokia 6150, Nokia 5210, Nokia 5510, Nokia 8210.

Using Now: Nokia 5510
Comments: It's great. but it hasn't got Composser, it's a bit big, I cannot' find covers and stuff for it. It's the best DCT3 phone - It has MP3 (60Mb!!!), Stereo Radio, Animated Screen Savers. I would recommend it to everyone!
I think buying my self an extra one, and that would be 7250, but i'll use 5510 for many years more.

Sorry for the bad English

01) David C. Barker

02) Scotland (thats at the top of the UK- surprisingly quite a few people dont even think its in the ok but instead near Germany! LOL!)

03) 1999

04) Maxon MX3204

05) Use? Most GSM phones! Own and use for a period of time? Nokia 3210/3310/5110/6110/6210/7110/7210, Ericsson T28, Motorola 3690/v50. Misibushi Trium GEO-W@P, Samsung T100, SonyEricsson T68(m) upgraded to (i), Siemens C35i/S35i, probaby quite a few more but i cant think! Thats not the correct order by time tho- im too lazy for that!

06) Nokia 7210

07) Definetly

08) Java is definetly an up-point! Classic nokia user interface, Great calendar which I can sync with outlook by IR (BEst ive seen on a phone excluding phone/pda devices!), Polyphonic ringtones..

09) Definetly- Its a great phone- Doesn't compromise looks for functionality (i.e. its a fashion phone like 8310 but has functions such as calendar which will suit everyone from teens to businessmen!)

10) SonyEricsson P800 tho I cant afford one right now!

11) New Question: What dont you like about your current phone
MMS Editor is CRAP! Doesnt let you add sounds or colored text, no page editors, etc. Looks like Nokia's concentration was wanning towards the end of the development process - here's hoping they'll update the software!

17yr old guy, student currently sitting exams, hoping to go to university after summer! No job just now- quit my last one- although I'm starting a webdesign company!

Here you go....
11) Too low memory capacity! For all this nice stuff, pictures, ringtones, games etc and only around 450 KB available... it's full too fast! Whenever i want to try something new, have to delete something else first.... And mine (sw 4.18) does not turn on the lights when somebody who is member of a caller group rings... it's a bug and resolved in later sw versions, but i don't want to flash.... Also it occasionally turns itself off when it's losing network, happened yet 2 times only in over a month i own it... can live with that :)
12) i am a 28 year old gay male, i work as a system administrator in a marketing company, keeping their computers and my websites running during worktime :) I love that job!

Hmm about that MMS thing, i think they disabled sending ringtones due to copyright issues.... someone could once download a ringtone (and pay for that) and then send that tone to 100's of people, they would miss some business.... i am currently trying out ways to outwit that "feature" by renaming .mid-files into .jpg's and send them via MMS (just got MMS available since two days!) but yet i don't have it working... i will post when i found a solution :)

[Thanh]

Dear friend, thanks a lot..... i will tell you my nickname, too... guess... it's "Thanh" as my second name, it is vietnamese origin (long story... adopted by vietnamese family at age 13 IN GERMANY etc...) but vietnamese friends always called me "Phuc" which means "happy" or "lucky"... don't ask me why :)
Hmm what enhancements would i like in my current phone... more memory! Only that... i don't need a cam so desperate.... but more memory would be fine :)
P800... umm huge.... i prefer my 6610 :)
I wish an enhancement on my computer, in fact, EVERY computer should have that: IrDA on the front side! I am in contact with ASUS, my MB's manufacturer, maybe i can get the original IrDA module there because the MB has a connection for it and the BIOS supports it... just that thingy is, as so many thingies, not available in Thailand......
Thanks to all of you who participate in my little survey... please continue! I love you all!
