Lets face it mobile phones are already part of our everyday life / activities. It help & makes our life much easier. Todays cellphone models are not only being used for sending sms (txting) & making calls but also can be used for exploring internet & checking personal emails. And as the days... months.. & years goes by mobile companies still continuing to add & develop its features.

To the extent that most people having more than 1 unit of celphone. I know some people who cant go out their houses without their cellphones. While me, i cant sleep without my mobile phone on my side (because im also using it as alarm clock). Checking my cellphone from time to time for some messages!

And if there are people who loves mobile phones there are also some people who hates them because they have this feeling that this gadgets controlling them... Imagine that everyone can contact u anytime (like my boss). They cant finished any job because answering calls eats most of their time(they cant closed it even they want too specially if its part of their job).

SO ITS EITHER YOU WILL LOVE OR HATE THIS GADGET!

How many cellphones do u have???

Can u still live or spend ur life without it???

To some people, it is like a sickness.

I have few friends who I'd rather not be with because of their BB. It is just too annoying. So what if it is free!.. Chill out, silence that thing and enjoy your time.

I hate to judge but if you have no serious business going on internationally and you own more than one smart phone, you need to see a doc

DG (or now D), mobiles are part of my lifestyle. Mobiles make life more convenient. Personally, life would be OK without mobiles but just a little less convenient. For example, I would be more careful about the location to meet DW. I would make a back-up plan if we miss each other. My friends wouldn't EXPECT me to answer the mobile. So, they wouldn't think it strange if I didn't answer.

This reflects many peoples' attitude to mobiles: "I feel so lost without my phone, like a part of me is missing" (New Fatima). The mobile phone companies have done a good marketing job!

But my life would go on fine without a mobile. I do love technology but they are an invasion of privacy for me!

How many cellphones do u have???

Palm Treo 680 + Nokia E61 + Sony Ericsson K700i + a cheap Nokia phone, etc. I also use my Jabra BT500v for both my phone(s) and my Mac (for VOIP).

Can u still live or spend ur life without it???

I can't live without my smartphone because it has all my life's data (besides my 2 Mac laptops).

HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR MOBILE PHONE TO YOU?

I don't use any mobile phone anymore (I just have them). I use 2 smartphones for my main line, and the other for my roaming SIM. My smartphones are very important to me 'cause it helps me organize everything in my life - my data especially PIM: contacts, calendar events, tasks, memos and notes, documents, multimedia, etc. I use Palm's HotSync to sync my Treo to the office PC, and I use Apple's iSync to sync my Nokia to my personal Macs (iBook G4 and MacBook). I'm waiting for the official release of the iPhone 3G and Apple's MobileMe (formerly .Mac) subscription to perfectly sync all my important data wirelessly (push technology) to all my devices.

I think I have to cut it short from here, if not, I'd be talking/typing too much... =D

My husband's ringtone is actually a recording of his voice telling me he loves me. I just love it when he calls me ;)

By diamond• 21 Jun 2008 22:08

They all have different ring tones and within each mobile I have set different ring tones for different people. I answer on a priority basis. If my husband calls me I drop everything and answer right away. Family and friends call and I tend to answer fairly promptly. Business calls depends on what I am doing. I usually end up calling most people back on the business mobiles when I have time to talk.

One serious tip: if you ever go where you don't want anybody to know that you're there, for heaven's sake: don't make a call with your phone. They can trace you down to a 2 meters range.

I'm with TCOM. Don't like mobiles. Only good for emergencies, causing car accidents, and disturbing movie-goers. I usually forget to recharge it, let the Hala credits go so low, or leave it at home. I have an office or home phone where I can be reached. I grew up 30 years in Canada without using a mobile. If mobiles hadn't become popular, would life be better?

Since community (family & friends) is so important in the Arab culture, mobiles are considered very important here. (according to the authors of "Don't they know it's Friday").

Mobiles are very important for work and emergencies but sometimes its just to much..If you do own one people expect you to be on on-call and when you swtich your phone off because you want time out, people hassle you as to why your phone was swtiched off...I mean its off for a reason, get the message...
