I cant even put mp3s on my phone. I only can use midis! And plus, I dont have the cable to transfer so basically, I have to sign up for the internet to get them sent to me And the phone is a fairly new Samsung black slider..

oh well...i'm sure you'll survive....telephone technology evolves so quickly before you know it something dazzling comes out so consumers are inevitably always wanting new phones.

im trying to avoid that. I got this one last year and i already want another one. But i aint rich like all my friends. One of my friends keeps ordering nice phones online and when I asked him why he switched to a new phone he said that he had the other one for 3 months and that was "a long time". So he's telling me he switches phones every 3 months??????????

That's ridiculous.

Someone needs a life.

yeah that's crazy....every three months...i might buy a new phone once every couple of years....

My phone is company-supplied, so I get what i'm given. I've had 3 in about 7 years

But seriously, all they are doing is adding gadgets to phones. My phone from 7 years ago was just as good at making phone calls as my latest one is

if it's GSM it will not work...Japan uses CDMA technolgoy for their cellular networks.

I read somewhere that 90% of all 12 year olds in the UK have cell phones.

My 12 year old daughter does have one, but hardly ever uses it because she never has any credit (it's a prepaid phone).

Now, if the telcos could find a way to sell phones to rats....

holy crap. really.
it'd be better to have a plan right

In some ways, yes. But when it's prepaid, she knows she can't waste it

haha, true.
i'd stick with a plan

why the Japanese don't give two half-eaten gyoza about the iPhone...because their cellphones are light-years ahead of ours.

makes bluetooth look like a sabertooth from the ice age. you can even use your cellphone at the vending machine....no need for change or breaking a large bill just to buy a canned drink. very cool.

Japan's latest cellphone.....who needs an iPhone.
