How do you use your phone? We are determined to find out

31 March, 2011
A large part of our job as phone reviewers involves judging of whether a particular compromise made by the designers is beneficial to the handset's target audience or not. To do this properly we rely...

still have 5800, soon android or wp7(?)
-One great thing now is : I can't remember when I charge last time my Nokia,seems unreal for some people XD...but I will risk,too...more you know about phones,more features you want,we all agree with that,probably.
One thing that I'm thinking......Everything in mobile industry goes forward very fast....except one thing BATTERY life.What will happen soon ,we have 1400mhz on phones,good graphic,big screens...is the end point soon.Better technology of mobile hardware,new screens or battery technology...hm
I remember long time ago my friend were compete who have smaller phone...hehe little Panasonic's legend...

-Feature that I use most...Go to main menu? :P
Enjoy people

    I use my phone regularly for:

    1. video call (that is voice call plus video) and MMS texting - 3G network is already very abundant in any parts of the world! That is the trend nowadays and it is fun and satisfying. So, a phone with this feature has a plus factor!

    2. multimedia (listening to music and taking pictures)

    3. tools (alarm clock, calculator and calendar)

      the most important is the OS (Operating System)
      I need a perfect,deep,complete comparison with ALL Operating Systems such as between Windows Phone 7 vs Symbian ^3 vs iOS vs android vs bada vs all new Operating Systems.
      I mean you put all Operating Systems in one compare page that displays all Features on the side then a (yes) or (no) word and allow for a rating or voting for Operating Systems.
      THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD DO AS A PERFECT REVIEWER.
      THANKS,GSMArena.

          Wow, depending on the number of responses to the survey, this feedback could be gold for some phone manufacturers! Like a worldwide market survey, if you will... And I insist: Voice calls should also be included, or am I the only one still using them??

              I would separate the send and the receive e-mail functions. I hardly ever use my cellphone to send e-mails, and I have to say that I've seen some cellphones with much better e-mails composing interface than others, but that wouldn't matter that much to me.

              Also, on the picture front, I'd separate taking photos without flash and taking photos with flash. A cellphone's flash is something that you haven't really been considering in depth lately and there are some halfway decent LED flashes coupled with more highly sensitive sensors these days, making it no longer just a matter of Xenon vs. LED.

                I think you forgot the most basic feature & something a mobile phone was invented for 'Voice Calls'..!!

                        Please, include questions about another aspects of photography, not only different presets.

                        What happenned with XENON, people?
                        As technology and MP count increases, cellphones become more and more capable of replacing a compact digicam (N95,INNOV8,Vivaz, to name a few bright examples from the last years). In the dark part of the day LED technology is just unusable for photos. Where did all the photography enthusiasts go? Or is it just that the manufacturers are again not listening?

                          Some of the points that needs to be considered in addition to the items listed:
                          1. Battery life
                          2. Call quality
                          3. Audio & Video quality for songs & movies respectively

                            There should also be a section like "just for fun" , that is for those who use their mobile phones to explore its features or just to mod it, or even develop apps for it..

                                  + data sync (contacts, notes, tasks, etc.) with the computer.
                                  + height of the phone: for me not more than 105mm.

                                    Some things to add:

                                    - make voIP call
                                    - use front camera (as a mirror per exemple)
                                    - use as a remote controller
