Mobile Industry Review: “Mobile-Crushes” – They end now!

    Perhaps if you tell people on here what you are after (what the phone needs to be able to do) then we can possibly recommend one.

    I think I know how you're feeling Sam. I'm also looking around at the moment, but there isn't a phone there that 'grabs' me big time. they've all got something missing - often unquantifiable.

    I don't want to lose facilities I currently have, and don't want to have to change the way e.g. I organise my photos on the PC, just to fit with the latest and greatest idea which will be out of date again next week when some bright spark has a different (not always better) idea of how I should work with my phone.

    I guess what I'm after is some stability for a while which incidently would allow for economies of scale to kick in on the price as retooling wouldn't be such a necessity.

    Is change (Bigger! Better! faster! more!) always a good thing?

    You summed it up perfectly there Ocifant!

    I don't think "Bigger, better, faster" is necessarily a good thing; because it's only ever improving a product in one direction. Whereas, products (Mobile Phones) should be improved in more than just one sense; and for that to happen we need to allow people to own mobiles long enough, and to extend the time between releases long enough in order to firstly create a better understanding of what a product lacks and needs, and how it can be best implemented.

    Food for thought!

    The INQ1 from 3 doesn't get your attention, Samantha?
  • Samantha · 11 months ago
    Ewan, I just looked up at the INQ1; and I have to say it doesn't appeal.

    From what I have read it is trying to be like the iPhone; which is basically trying to me like a laptop. It doesn't have the originality, or the uniqueness that I seek in a mobile right now.
