To me, a phone is just a tool to make calls. And some extras. As long as it can make calls, nothing else about the phone is too important to me.

i do think like that but sometimes it makes me drool to see ppl taking pictures or phone ringing with sweet sounds while mine has no hole at the back and rings with the traditional 'tit tut tit tut' sound

Honestly, I personally don't care too much about how my mobile phone looks like and what features does it have.

Since I mainly using my phone ONLY for phone calls, I usually owns a pretty cheap/simple mobile phones.

I currently have two mobile phones, one is a VERY OLD Motorolla phone (don't remember the exact model) and the other one is a tiny-tiny and simple Panasonic GD55.

Of course, I would like to have a better phone, but I'm not willing to pay too much on a mobile phone, as like I said, I'll probably won't use most of its features...

In a month or two I should get the Sony-Ericsson K750i from my workplace, and this should be a huge upgrade for me, after having the above mentioned mobile phones for over 3 years!!!
