I'm planning to get a new phone so I was wondering, in your opinion:

1) Which is the best phone right now and why?

2) What features are important to you when you buy one?

3) How much would you spend on one? (Think about a phone that has all the features you want and the price it's at right now)

4) Know any older phones that are still awesome?

I spend max. €200 to a cellphone, that must have wifi and preferably a smartphone(for example the HTC Wildfire) and WITHOUT a keyboard, I don't get it why people love hardwarekeyboards on cellphones

don't have one, don't plan on getting one any time soon.

That's a reasonable price, and hey, wifi is important for me too... but keyboards look nice. Plus, touchscreens are kinda hard to type with, so a keyboard solves that problem...

why not? don't like to be bothered or just no one to bother? I don't know many people who can survive without a cell phone...

It's sad that people in developed countries think like this now. Especially since I'm old enough to remember when nobody had a mobile phone.

both.
I have a 1960s rotary dial phone in my bedroom I can use for all the phone calls I need to make. as far as text messages and that shit go, well it's pretty obvious that I despise them, telephones are made for talking. If I could get my hands on a 1980s cell phone and have it turned on so I could use it, I would.

Not literally, of course. I mean, their mood changes for the worse when their phones are lost or are being repaired... or even if their battery or signal is just gone

Developed countries? Even people in some third world countries think like this now...

Oh well, some companies sell phones that only call and, unfortunately for you, text. But I just found that interesting, not many younger people nowadays who think like that.

I am twenty two. I remember when dial-up internet was normal and America Online free trial floppy disks came in the mail. and cell phones were in suitcase sized bags (my parents have had "cell phones" for 15 years) and cassette tapes weren't just hipster cool, they were normal cool.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if I've used the expression "cell phone/mobile reception" correctly. Please, take a look at the examples:

a. I get good cell phone reception here on the farm. (=The signal on my cell phone/mobile is good and allows me to make and receive calls.)

b. I'm getting bad cell phone reception today. (= The signal on my cell phone/mobile is bad and doesn't allow me to make and receive calls.)


Thank you very much in advance!
