Guest cyrilthefish Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 just wondering, what sort of mobiles did people own before getting an SPV? mine was: BT/phillips pre-pay thing virgin/alcatel pre-pay mobile (huge but a nuts battery life of 7+days) one2one/siemens C35i (first contract phone) only chose this because it wasn't a nokia 3210! ;) one2one/siemens SL45 - the best phone i've owned, was way ahead of it's time! i upgraded the firmware to support java a year before any other phone supported it! orange/SPV - without doubt the best featured phone out there! just needs a few niggles such as the more major bugs and the app-signing thing to be sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 As per 90% (or at least thats what it feels like) of the board i had a Sony J70e, unlocked and with a PAYG Cellnet SIM. Before that aages ago i had a Siemens C35i, that was a really good phone, earpiece died on me though just before i got round to replacing it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bobroberts Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Nokia Orange (2110 I think) - Great Solid Phone with amazing reception :lol: Nokia 3210 - The first predictive text messaging and turned the mobile market upside down (on orange) :!: Nokia 6210 - should have been a great phone, nice (if slightly bland) styling but good feature set but the phone balance in you hand feels slightly top heavy. :? Amazing battery life - 10 days standby!!! :lol: Unfortunatly I kept sending these back to orange as it seemed unable to hold onto a call. went through 4 all in all. :D still got one now which I'm trying to convince my girlfriend that she needs to use instead of her 3310. That way she can IR modem for work email on the train. ;) Sony CMD-Z7 - bit of a double edged sword this (like the SPV). loads of features but far too many quirks. and the ringtones eurgh!!! :x couple this with the only software to sync to the computer costs £45 from sony and even then you have to pay another £25 for a blinking lead!!! AND WORSE STILL it arrived a year after release!!! :twisted: Was never really convinced by the jog dial (something sony puts on everything these days!!!) It just meant that you couldn't operate it properly with one hand Orange SPV - well i'll give it time... good but with quirks... and the battery life... :roll: bobroberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firaas Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Ericsson all the way! Ericsson T18 - one2one Ericsson T28 - one2one/T-Mobile Ericsson T39 - T-Mobile Orange SPV - Orange The Ericsson's were all small in comparison to other phones at the time of purchase, but the software on the T28/T39 was horrendously slow. T18 had loads of quality problems, including one which loosened a speaker connection upon vibrate, and made the phone useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadieb Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 In order of when I very first got a mobile :- Motorola Flair One2One about 6 years ago.

Guest Chic0 Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Motorola d170 Nokia 6110 Nokia 3210 Nokia 6110 Nokia 8210 Nokia 6210 Sony J5e (big mistake) Orange SPV Out of all those my favourite was the Nokia 6110. Never went wrong on me once. Athough it isnt the best phone of all time, it was the best in my eyes for when it was out.Couldnt fault the functionality and reliability.

Guest Shaks Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 let's see Philips Diga Brick for 2months (Cellnet Pay&Go) Motorola c520 for 6 months (Orange Pay&GO) Nokia 6150e for 6 months (Orange Pay &Go) bought offline Nokia 702 for 1 year (orange version of 6110) bought offline for my orange pay & go sim after I sold my 6150 (I had this phone whilst I was using the 8810 and 8210 on cellnet as well as I needed to keep my orange pay & go number and couldn't transfer pay & go numbers at the time. Nokia 8810 for 4 months (chrome, precurser to 8850) Cellnet contract. Phone was best looking but most problematic phone ever, much worse than SPV. Was replaced by Cellnet by 8210 under insurance as 8810 became obsolete. Nokia 8210 for 1 year (replacement for 8810) Nokia 7110e for 1 year (moved to Orange contract, transferred cellnet number and discarded orange pay & go nok702) Nokia 6210e for 16 months (Orange upgrade from 7110) ORANGE SPV current (Upgrade from 6210e) My last 4 nokia's I wasn't too happy with as there were many problems with them but I'd persevere and make good use of my orange care and nokia service centres. The nokia 8810 must be the most unreliable phone ever built. They were very expensive but would switch off automatically and had horrendous reception and many other problems. The best nokia I used has gotta be the 6150e (orange dual band version of 6110) least problems with this phone. I think that's all of them but not 100% sure Shaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TooMuch2AM Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Ahh let's see! All phones on contract with Cellnet, Voda and Orange... - NEC G9 (brick) - Ericsson GA688 (years ahead of its time) - Sharp MC-G1 (the FIRST smartphone - see http://theapplecollection.com/design/phone/Sharp.html) - Ericsson T10 (crap) - Motorola T2288 (used for WAP dev purposes only, crap phone) - Ericsson T18 (wicked, if ugly) - Ericsson T28 (nice phone, bit flimsy) - Nokia 8210 (out of a cracker) - Sony CMD-Z5 (stylish, short on features) - Ericsson T68 (nice, but flawed) - Orange SPV (the jury's out!) So there you go - makes me cringe to think how much I've spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pidder Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Damn s*** - you guys bought lots of phones!!! :shock: The SPV is only my second (2nd!) phone! My 7110 pleased me for three (3!) years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TooMuch2AM Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Ahh but Pidder! My phone collection spans about 9 years, and several career moves involving mobile development of some sort. I think I'm doing quite well at just over 1 phone a year! ;) Most innovative phone I've owned had to be the MC-G1 (see above) it was the original smartphone, shame it never took off. Now don't get me started on PDA's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TooMuch2AM Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 The MC-G1 was amazing for the time - Full POP3 email, organiser functions, multicast SMS and rotating screen for calendar view etc. It was largely marketed in Europe by Alcatel, and it was pretty much a proof of concept phone that escaped the R&D labs. I always associate it with the Apple Newton, another breakthrough product that was the father of all modern PDA's. I ended up selling the MC-G1 to a guy in Italy for twice what I paid for it - go figure! :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DamianJauregui Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Okay, here we go...

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a mobile collector. My dad used to have a shop in the mid eighties when they first came out and I've been using them since, I'm sure that there's loads of handsets I've missed off this list, but these were the ones I remember... Most of the Motorola handsets were from when I worked for Motorola doing web/WAP development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
