Oh, What mobile brand to buy now?

bandicoot24 — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 11:51:23 GMT

I have had a few mobile phones, mostly Nokia (which all made me happy) I then stepped out of my comfort zone and got a Sony Ericsson T610, boy have I regretted it. I should have taken it back within a month or so, the navigation stick would become difficult to use and it gets better for a while, then bad (you get the idea), and it was locked to Vodafone. Now I think it is time to get another phone, I think I might go back to Nokia, but I like LG appliances and I see they now have many phones on the market? Do they compare, stand up against or just trample all over Nokia? or is there another brand that I just have to have? Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Young Girl Collecting Unwanted Mobile Phone for The Answer The Call To save Gorillas

jdsaspen — Fri, 29 May 2009 12:22:22 GMT

I am collecting mobile phones,Old ones unwanted ones any type you don’t want.
These are NOT for me. I am a Wildlife Warrior and right now I am on a mission to
help save Gorillas in Africa.

Habitat destruction and poaching are just two of the factors driving this great
ape to extinction. Coltan is a rare mineral that is used in the production of
electronic devices, including mobile phones. Unfortunately, most of the world’s
coltan reserves are found in the same region as gorillas and the mining for this
rare mineral is destroying their last remaining habitat.
By recycling your old mobile phones, not only are you reducing the demand for
coltan but also helping to raise funds for Gorilla conservation.

Did you Know?
Gorillas are the largest living primate in the world.

Gorillas are our closest relatives, sharing 98%-99% identical DNA, second only to the chimpanzee.

The Four subspecies of gorilla (Mountain, Cross River, Eastern Lowland and Western Lowland) are all under serious threat of becoming extinct. They are all currently classified as endangered or critically endangered.

With just 250-300 left in the wild, The Cross River Gorilla is the most critically endangered of the four gorilla subspecies.

There are no Mountain Gorillas or Cross River Gorillas in captivity.

Adult male gorillas are called Silverbacks because, as they age, a saddle of gray or silver-colored hair develops on their backs.

The average lifespan of a gorilla is between 30-50 years.

Poaching, habitat destruction, the bush meat trade, civil war and unrest are some of the major facts that are threatening gorillas.

Gorillas live in tight knit family groups; if threatened, adults will protect the young of the group with their life.

FFI is one of the only conservation organisations that is working to save all four subspecies of gorillas in the wild.

Last year alone it was estimated that nearly 9 million mobile phones were sold in Australia, and collectively there could be over 20 million unused mobile phones waiting to be recycled.

Mobile phone features

pointman — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:58:00 GMT

What is the must have indispensable feature that your phone has (apart from being able to make calls!). I am about to upgrade and have put large screen to watch movies at the top. Is there anything else I am missing?

Water damage to my mobile

jeff_cooper — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:52:37 GMT

My phone ended up in the drink at the weekend i fished it out only to see it switched off and hear the insides sizzling. There is more than likely damage to the circuitboard

Does anyone know how I can fix my phone? I took it into the store and they said nothing can be done to save water logged phones, is this true?

Got a 6110 Navigator, what are the best games?

prodech — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:53:17 GMT

Hi all,

So I finally succumbed to the lure of a new phone (it was the free GPS that got me in the end). But of course I now want to fill it up with as much rubbish as possible! What are the best games for the S60 range of phones? The only one I have so far is Jimmy White Snooker, which I really enjoy on the train journey to work.

Appreciate any advice/ recommendations!
