Its a trend that I am seeing especially with persons with the high end phones ,the ones that can take picture,that many persons have picures of their loved ones as the screen saver.I guess it helps them to keep in constant contact with these persons when they see their pictures everytime they are about to use their cell phones .I have no problem with that as I think it it very cute.
The question I ama asking now is do you have such sentimental pictures on your phone and if so who do you hav eon your phones ?.In addition if you have a phone taht has this functionality then why dont you use it ?

I have a picture of my little daughter as a screen saver on my phone. I could not think of anything I would like to have more...It’s quite handy having pictures on your phone, it’s better than keeping them in your wallet. I have family photos on there including all my pets, in other words all those close to my heart.

Good morning Ronnyb. My cell is a very simple one that i have to buy minutes for because i very seldom ever use it so it doesn't have all the good options like so many do. It's just as well because i'm such a dingbat i'd never learn how to do all those fun things anyway.

hi ronny,
I do have pictures of my love ones saved on my mobile phone and currently I placed the picture of our memorable trip to Hongkong with my husband as the screensaver. I always want to remember the days when we were having fun and enjoying the moment only "for the two of us" as it rarely happens. Good Day!

My screensaver is a picture of my kids when they were 6 and 8, respectively. The pic is one when they were hugging each other. I wanted to include my husband too but he was not with us when I snapped this photo. I just found it so cute and decided to keep this to remind me that we as a couple (my husband and I) are so blessed to have kids.

I do have a picture of our youngest grandbaby on my cell phone. Did have a photo of our two other grandkids but recently changed it. Waiting for Thanksgiving when I can see them all together and replace the one photo with a photo of all 3. We have a total of 5 grandkids but the two older ones won't be in town for the holidays. My phone is an older Nokia phone. One of the first ones to have a camera.

I do not have that kind of cell phone to save a picture on. I would use that feature if it was available to me though. I do save pictures on my desktop computer. I have a picture of my puppy on there right now. He is a loved one in this family.

I do have pictures of my love ones in my mobile phone. In fact not only pictures but videos as well. There are times when I travel and I am out for a couple of days.. I do look at them to make me happy.

Nah I don't..I don't have a girlfriend right now but I really never did actually even when i had a girlfriend. I just didn't think it was necessary.. maybe if my girlfriend was a long distance girlfriend then yes but otherwise if i see her regularly there's no need to go out of my way to have extra pictures of her..

Yes , I do have photo of my kid on my cell phone's desktop and screen saver.
When ever I feel tension in my work then I see his snap which is with
his cute smile and that helps me a lot to get rid of my tension.

I used to have my son's picture on my phone. I got a new phone recently though and it didn't save my pictures so I lost all those pictures I had taken on my phone. I haven't taken any with my new phone yet so right now it's just a picture of a flower that was already on there. I need to take a picture of my son again and put it back on my phone. That way if he is with my mom or my mother in law or something and I start to miss him I'll just pick up my phone and look at his picture. I still miss him but it will make me feel better to just see the picture of him.

Yes, I have such a photo for my cellphone. It is taken when we had travel. We hardly have a photo for three of us: Me, my husband and my son. This photo is nice because we all showed in the photo. And we had a nice travel. It reminds me of many nice memories.
I love China

I have a picture of my one year old nephew as the screensaver on my phone. Most of the pictures on my phone are of my niece and nephew, my brother is always taking pictures of them and he sends them to everybody, its the only way we keep in touch, he lives about 3 hrs away so we don't get to see them very often, so this way I can see how much they're growing everyday.

I do not actually have a mobile phone but I can see why people have their loved ones on the screen saver especially if they are at work for long hours,it must be nice to remember who is waiting at home for them and the reason they spend so long away from home working hard.I think that is nice.

No I do not have a picture of a loved one as my cell phone screen saver. I just use one of the one that is on the cell phone. I am not even sure if my cheap cell phone will let me download a picture on it.

ronnyb,i think it's natural to set my gf's photo as the screen saver.my gf and i are not in the same place.And we can't see each other everyday.So i watch my gf's photo on my cell phone screen.everyone may put the photo of that you care in wallet.And it's the same reson of setting picture as cell phone screen saver.
