I can tell that this is going to be amazing!

That actually doesn't sound too bad. I can imagine parents buying it for younger teens, who may not be as text-and-call heavy in their phone usage. Plus, a free phone... Not bad.

Although, I won't be signing up any time soon.

Re: How bad are Brits at handling 0.5 inches of snow?

That made laugh!

Although, I can't say anything as I'm walking to and from School, holding on to whoever or whatever is around me, as I constantly slip and slide! Plus, the obscene outbursts of "Oh crap" from the parents of younger children who seem to enjoy the ice doesn't get me many smiles!

I just hope no one ever catches me falling over on their mobile phone!
:D

Re: “Mobile-Crushes” – They end now!

You summed it up perfectly there Ocifant!

I don't think "Bigger, better, faster" is necessarily a good thing; because it's only ever improving a product in one direction. Whereas, products (Mobile Phones) should be improved in more than just one sense; and for that to happen we need to allow people to own mobiles long enough, and to extend the time between releases long enough in order to firstly create a better understanding of what a product lacks and needs, and how it can be best implemented.

Food for thought!

Ewan, I just looked up at the INQ1; and I have to say it doesn't appeal.

From what I have read it is trying to be like the iPhone; which is basically trying to me like a laptop. It doesn't have the originality, or the uniqueness that I seek in a mobile right now.

Re: Youth: Text in Knife Crime Concerns

Very true!
What constitues as being "fun" to some people is rather bizarre. Falsely accusing someone for a "laugh" certainly isn't fun; but even saying that, I cannot deny it'll probably happen!

MaManfie — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 12:11:21 -0000

With any hope it will!

Ahh yes, I've heard of the 'Fare Dodger' thing. It's an odd, but good idea!

Re: Youth: Text in Knife Crime Concerns

MaManfie — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 12:08:18 -0000

Very valid point!

Well, I would imagine that they would investigate cases based on the liklihood of it happening in an area and such... Then again, I don't see the point in that!

Re: Do I resent my mobile?

MaManfie — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:44:57 -0000

It's horrible isn't it?

I think I might see how I would handle a week without my beloved device!

I'll see!

MaManfie — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:43:43 -0000

I have to say, I like my mobile now! But even despite that, I can't bring myself to turn it off!

Sanity or my mobile?
Tough choice!

I think that's why I don't have e-mail on my phone. I love e-mail yes, but I receive too many, and it would take away from my enjoyment of the service I think!

MaManfie — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:36:27 -0000

Yeah, I agree. Then again, I'm someone who wouldn't eat pre-chopped mushrooms. For some bizarre reason I enjoy cutting them myself. However, that's besides the point.

People are lazy, but it's just bizarre how much money is to be made from it.

Re: UK’s Mobile Phone register will require passport to buy PAYG handset

MaManfie — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:34:42 -0000

George Orwell comes to mind!

When will this country begin to realise that these so called "threats" are only as bad as we keep making them out to be.

This will not achieve anything, and if it does, it'll be me getting angry, and I'm sure many others too.

Re: Where’s the mobile awareness gone?

MaManfie — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:48:52 -0000

My point exactly!
However, even with the Nokia, it is offering something different, and it's really trying to appeal to the young market; it just isn't. It's very odd.

I agree with you about the commodity thing too.

Thanks,
Samantha.

Hi Kip!

Erm, I don't believe I have. I have a friend who at the moment has an N80, purely because her other phone died or something. I'll look out for the N95's though!

MaManfie — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:25:37 -0000

The lack of iPhone is quite amazing really. It does make me wonder about marketing, and how it's all planned out.

Aww thanks Ewan!
Feels good to be back!

Re: Teach Your Granny to Text & Other Ways to Change the World

MaManfie — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 16:09:53 -0000

My Grannies text with Motorola's!

It's quite amazing really, they're old, they can text (just about), and on the worst texting platform I think I have ever come across!

I think I might have to check out this book too!

Re: Media Studies is a Qualification!

MaManfie — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 13:54:10 -0000

Hi,

I understand that it's ignored, and well, that's a totally different issue. The fact is, having two years of work, and hard work at that being slated as cheap and easy pass, when actually it wasn't, is driving me insane!

I chose Media because at the time I didn't want to do anything, and I've always been interested in it. I used to have my own online radio station, and I enjoy the media. I didn't take it thinking "Oh, let's do something that I can pass easily".

Thanks!
I'll try not too!

Re: Carphone Warehouse Liveline Insurance: Total Rubbish

MaManfie — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:55:37 -0000

That is terrible!

The Carphone Warehouse have never done anything to overtly impress me; but that is just stupid.

I'm not a good campaign thinker (I usually just send letters, and e-mails of complaint) - but we all know where that gets us!

I suggest something that'll annoy them... Like the "Sony News" did with Sony.

Haha!

It wouldn't surprise me though!

The only person less likely to grind than me is Ben! James, on the other hand, is probably grinding right now.

Re: CTIA Video — Preview Coverage

MaManfie — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 15:45:27 -0000

Really?

Because I was looking forward to that! Imagine, you, Ben and James (whom I imagine probably grinds on a daily basis)....

Top quality entertainment that would be!

:D

Re: CTIA Video — Preview Coverage

danlane — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 15:43:23 -0000

There will be no grinding.
