Funny, I always thought that the Soviet Union disapproved of it?

Communism is a good idea on paper. But in practice, it doesn't work out so well.

Thing is, which would you rather have? A crap phone, or someone who boasts about their slightly better phone?

Crap phone.

Same. Sony Ericsson something or other, basically a brick. Calls, texts, takes crap photos for convenience (got a picture of Gordon Brown a few weeks ago), and that's it. I don't want a ludicrously stylish phone that does EVERYTHING for two reasons: One, touchphones and the like feel incredibly flimsy to me; and two, if you lose it, then you are completely and utterly screwed.

This. I had basically the thing you are describing, but the people at Sprint talked my dad into getting me a much larger, more annoying to carry around LG with infinitely more useless features and a touch screen. I despise it.

It's just a fashion statement, though. You need a phone to call people, that's pretty much it. You don't need this extra myriad of random and utterly pointless distractions to suck even more money out of your pocket. Fashion is one great big <expletive>ing lie.

Quoted for truth. Mine has the basic capabilities of sending and recieving calls, and I'm OK with that.

Same here- I've only ever used it when I need to. I mean, who really needs a million apps?

Neds. Idiots. People who want to be part of the fashionable crowd. There is a lighter app. Why?

Seriously? They don't realise that a flame can't actually be used when its made of tiny little squares on an LCD screen?

Evidently not. If it really was a smart phone, it'd be able to tell when it'd been stolen.

My phone cost me £1.

It has the British flag on it

I try not to look at the wallpaper and have it permanently on silent.
