Here we are, over 25 years after the first mobile phone entered the market. There are several manufacturers. Their current market shares look like this:
As you can see Nokia has a huge lead and by huge I mean really huuuuge.
Most of you know that Nokia is flooding the market with hundreds of models which are basically the same on the inside and the only differences are in design of the chassis.
Nokia N95 is a bit different, it's probably the most feature packed mobile on the market. 5MP camera, WLAN, GPS, accelerometer, video call camera, mp3 player, radio, bluetooth, infrared and many more.
To be honest I have no idea who would need all these features but in fact it's very hard to find a decent phone with no camera for example.
Touchscreens are getting trendy nowadays, we're experiencing the launch of many such phones lately. Here's a example what can you do with a touchscreen phone:
or another example
I like the second one better ;-)
I'd like you gals and guys to write which phone are you using and do you use it for anything else than making calls and texting others.

I have a NOKIA E65 ( only for business use ), from January 2010 I would like to change for N900. Does anyone have an opinion about this model ?
ReplyDeleteThere are a few stress tests videos on YT. For example watch?v=5tgNdRm-iJs. By the looks of it it seems that the touchscreen in the N900 is a resistive screen which means it's quite fragile. I almost cried when I scratched the screen in my Samsung i900, good that I sold it :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're after a touchscreen phone maybe you should look at Android based phones especially when version 2.0 is out. Such devices usually have a capacitive touchscreen - surface is made of glass.
well i have nokia N73 "music edition" I'm using it just to texting calling and listeningr to the music. I think that NOKIA rock's they have only the best high quality prodcts. Other companies are far behind Nokia.
ReplyDeleteI'm using iPhone mainly because i'm iPhone programmer ;]
ReplyDeleteI wish I had iPhone, mostly for new coding opportunities ;)
ReplyDeleteFor now, I'm happy with my Sony-Ericsson and its Java support.
I needed a phone which I can use to make calls, text, browse the internet and my mailbox and it should be small enough to easily fit in the pocket.
ReplyDeleteSo I decided to choose Samsung 5230 (so called Avila). I don't need to and want to spend great sum of money on mobile phone. I think it's a waste of money but other likes it and that's fine with me if they really need it.
marta: Nokia is not a good choice, htc touch pro2 would be perfect if it would be for around 500zl ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what model of Nokia mobile phone I have.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know mobile phones are used for making calls and texting. Everything else is superfluous.
I use my Sony-Ericsson for making calls, sending text messages and also for making photos when I don’t have a better camera around. It’s also useful in the kitchen for timing and in the bedroom as an alarm clock.
ReplyDeleteI'm using iPhone for my day-to-day time organization. Sending emails etc. Also for calling :) And for things that Rafal mention such alarm clock etc.
ReplyDeleteMarek:
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that is very useful on exams ;p
Very useful for CHEATING, yes Krzysztof... no further comment on that :)
ReplyDeleteI'm like Rafał as for phone usage. This concerns all cellphones. Calling, text messages, alarm clock and, rarely, the built-in camera. That's all I need from a phone. Oh and of course it should WORK :)
I personally own a Nokia N95. It's been mentioned by Adam in this post :)
I'm quite astounded by the cellphone maker's market share list. I would've guessed the top two places, but I really didn't think that Motorola would be so low. Guess they do have some problems ;)
Oh and I love the whole "Will it blend?" viral series on youtube. Too bad that Blend-Tec blenders aren't sold in Poland and they're quite expensive abroad :(
ReplyDeleteI have Sony-Ericsson k800i and I am very satisfied. I can take a call or I can call someone and those are two most important things that I expect my mobile to do. There is also nice camera in this mobile and that is very helpful in lot of situations. I was using it also as a watch and alarm clock.
ReplyDeleteI stick to old nokia phones. Once I had a spvm650 which was fine, but I really think basic, strong, well made phone with basic funcionality is all I want. I don't need Iphone nonsense. ;o) Keep it simple.
ReplyDeleteThe new phones are no longer such a strong and well made as the older models. I still keep my old Nokia 3210 in excellent condition in a drawer. The phone is big, heavy and can be used for self-defense, but it still works. Battery kept voltage half a day. I remember once I used it as an opener for the beer.
