Cell Phones are Just for Calling  

Same here. I also use my cell phone for calling or text sms. But sometime i also play games on it.
But i take it as a communication. That's why i don't use many features cell phone.

Me too, well I have a phone, a quite old one, it's a Nokia 6021 and I use it only to call people and rarely to text because I feel Its better to call while taking time to text but in case I do not have much credit I then text. I do not like high tech phones as it costs a fortune to me and then I can always be checking my mail as you said in my laptop.

for me, your reason is also the best. but as you know, youngsters and even old alike want it all in one most of the times, so they don't have to carry a camera, a mp3 player, a cellphone, a flashlight, a laptop and everything hahaha.

they want to bring 1 thing that has everything all in it. but for me, phones are phones nothing else should be.

right? :D

Till now even I used my cellphone only for calls and send text message.
But after 3G coming into India I am planning to purchase a smartphone for video and song streaming. also for video call and browsing.

I have a smarphone, and I do use it for more than just calling, but I don't text on it, like I used to. I do browse the internet at times, as I can access mylot wuen I am not at ome, and that is one reason why I bought it. Now, I can do that too on my ipod touch, but I can't use that everywhere, not without wifi anyway, so having a cell phone where I can access mylot, is ideal for me. I also watch youtube videos, and also vcast videos. I have done a few ptc sites on it too, but it owrks much better on my computer, so I don't do them on I will wait until I am home to do my ptc sites. It is just to hard since the screen is so small, and I don't have a mouse so I have to use my stylus or my finger, and it just doesn't work all the well that way on those. I do like my phone though, and I hope to keep it for awhile. Take care, and happy mylotting.

Me,I don't like having to haul around a bunch of different gadgets with their various connectors,power supplies,batteries and such..I find my phone to be an acceptable compromise..It has built in radio,mp3 player,and camera,(The camera flash is useful too as a flashlight),and Having Java software,I downloaded an ebook reader app which lets me carry around several ebooks on it..

I mostly use it for text messaging. I have a few songs on it, but those are custum ringtones for when people call. I don't always want to look at the caller ID when I'm calling someone. Or receiving a call especially if I'm going out and am using my headset. I can't always get to a place where I can reach down and read the I.D. So I know who'se calling just by the sound.

i'm using a N73 phone. i use it in many purpose. i use it to text , call , surf the net, send mms, play music.. i use all its functions.. because for me ,why don't use it?? its installed on your phone, right?? i also install lots of games on my mobile so when i get bored i will just play those games..

I personally use my phone mostly for texting. I'll make phone calls occasionally, but it's generally texting that my phone is used for. However, my brother has a blackberry and my cousin has an iPhone. The extras that come with these as far as internet and games come in handy on long road trips or when they need to look up information when they're not readily able to access a computer. It all comes down to personal need and where your lifestyle takes you. If you're generally able to be home a lot, I can see why there isn't much use for all of the extras that come with a lot of phones. However, if you find yourself out working or socializing more, those extra can pass time in the off hours when you're still not home.

It really defends on the person what he wants on his phone. I have a friend who have 4 cellphones, maybe because he have 4 GFs, I even know a guy who buys all the latest models of phone, maybe because he wants to be proud that he has that expensive phone. I know a girl who always ask for load because she don't have money to buy for load, but her phone is so hi-tech, It has all the features a cellphone could offer, it only lacks a dental-floss. :) But generally, cellphones are invented for the purpose of communications. So I all the people who buy it, wants to use it for calling.
