Well, there's not much to say behind this except to ask for you to answer the question that the topic brings up. Answers, comments, and questions, please. :mellow:

Hmm...a cellphone a hassel...I dont know. My phone has a mobil IM, so I'm happy with it. The only thing I dont like about my phone is that people use it too much.

Some people just need to get they're own phone if you ask me. =( Bills...bad...>_<;; But I still like my phone. I can chat with it. Yay. :mellow:

[Golden Legacy]

Ah, very interesting topic indeed =D

Well, needless to say, Cell Phones are becoming far more technologically advanced (as with everything in this world, it seems =/). They are making communication effortless, and even starting to offer new forms of entertainment (cough PSP cough).

In Japan, anybody who is human has a cell phone- -_-… :mellow:

In a more practical view, there have been studies that show that extended use of cell phones can cause tissue damage and may even increase the risk of Cancer.

Perhaps not a hassle, but doomed to lead our lives certainly :D

[Mallick]

Well,in my oppinion this should be in the spam forum.But anyways,as Gl said Cell phones cause brain damage and cancer so they are a bit of a "hassle"

[Linear]

:mellow: Yeah, I suppose your right. Cellphones CAN be a hassel sometimes...=\ But the thing I mostly do on my phone is chat and search for more music. ^-^ and talk.

[Luna]

For me, cel phones are only annoying when you're at the movies and it's like half of the theater IMing someone in mid movie @.@;; Thousands of blue screens pop up everywhere x.x

As for the rest, I don't think they are a hassle because it's pretty easy to locate someone with them and vice versa. People can contact you easily o.o;

I use it a lot to remind my best friend of meetings and other stuff n.n;

[Mallick]

Yeah,but I don't a hundred people to be able to contact me and annoy me,well I guess I am not a big fan of cell phones.Even though I have one :mellow:

You have radio signals emitting from a transmitter/receiver right beside your brain. I would think it would cause slight damage, but not enough to those of us who use it rarely.

Anyways, cell phones offer security, entertainment, and a cheap way to keep in contact with people.

I love cell phones and am somewhat of a collector.

o.O You collect cellphones? Interesting hobby Nick.

:mellow: I haven't been using my cellphone much. But when school comes, I'm going to be using it a lot. :) Maybe.

PSP doesn't have phone capabilities. DS on the other hand....

Anyway, I only use my cellphone to call my mom from school if I need to get a ride or make sure she's coming. The main thing we got it for was that, but it also happened because my dad was upgrading his service, and we could do two lines for a good price. Plus, with the rebates, $200 phones cost nothing!

[Linear]

:) I kind of agree with you with the $200 thing. My cellphone cost over $300. Almost all cellphones do, so it's no surprise. :mellow:

[Golden Legacy]

* too lazy to quote * o.o

To Andross: I was just referring to the PSP’s movie and music playback capabilities- meh * shrugs *

To Nick: If you communicate via cell phones sparingly, then there should be little health hazard- however, extensive use (as in using a cell phone to call a friend who’s five feet from you :mellow: : ) ) is pushing it =/

I feel somewhat vulnerable if I ever leave my home without a cell phone… :)

* shudders *

[Someone Else]

I see no need to get a cell phone, I hate small talk and such, if I really want to talk to my friends, I'll e-mail them.

In the year 2004 alone, I've had about 8 cell phones.

Things from the older StarTac, to the V60, V66, V300, Samsung A535, and I'm planning on getting the Motorola A1000.

Picture below:

:) Yeah, I dont use my cellphone as much anymore. Actually...I didn't even touch my cellphone for 3 months now.

I just like sending email and chatting online. :mellow: I'm getting kind of tried answering the phone...

[ForteGX]

I'd only get a cell phone for reasons Andross pointed out: ride home from school, emergencies, things to that extent.

But, then again, I don't even have one...

[Linear]

I'm starting to think I dont have one at all. Ignoring my cellphone for 3 months has gotten to me...I suppose. =\

[Eugine]

I have a Sony Ericson, but I don't use it for Andross reasons, since Cell Phones are not allowed to be brought/used onto school grounds.

EXACTLY! everyones like "oh you have a cell phone, are you going to be hanging out with the popular crowd now?" My responce "its for confirming my ride home, and if i have an emergancy, thats it." of course i don't get mad because i know they're kidding.

i think cellphones (contrary to popular belief) are definately not a hassle. its alot easier than using a payphone, or a school phone. home phones are better for calling your friends.

my lovely phone:

Nice cell phone lightingstar. I dont use my cellphone as much anymore. =\

Cell Phone = Mobile Phone in Australia

I have a Nokia 3200, cost me $300aud when I got it. Coour display, WAP, pretty good games, sends messages and calls (2 main things anyway). And it's small, so yeah, all around, it's a good phone. I'm with Vodaphone by the way, 60 free txt per credit re-charge.

[Linear]

=\ Since I barely use my phone, I kind of forgot what it does. I download a few things, so I can get music. I can take pictures...send text message (duh), I have a mobile IM (Which I dont use a lot anymore), I think the phone was $364, when it was at a 10% discount. =\ My phone is a flip phone...I can video cam people! That's what I like the most. :)

I have that same phone. Not free untill or after 9:05 PM. =/

[Echo_djinn]

As I seem to grow older day by day I seem to use my cell more and more to call my parents or to just chat to my friends...but i don't use it like crazy. I take it everywhere with me but I don't use it unless(like FGX and Andross explained) its an emergency and blah blah blah......

[Kikuichimonji]

how is a mobile a hassle? It's really convenient like the time when it snowed badly ( I mean for us badly, not canadian normally, get it?) someone used her mobile saying she needed a ride home coz all the trains weren't running.

[Neon]

Cellphones are only a hassel if you make them a hassel. They're a portable telephone (in essence, even though they feel it's necessary to fill it with trashy gimmics that you never use cause they suck *cough* camera *cough* WAP *cough*) so you can call anyone whenever you need to. If you have something small to say and cbf getting into a phone conversation with anyone, you can send an sms.

I hardly ever use my mobile, but it comes in handy when organising outings and trying to work out where your friends vanished to in the city :smile:.

The cancer thing is exagerated far too much. Talking excessively will only cause minimal damage, and the normal amount of time you spend on a phone will do practically nothing to your tissue :D.

'mobile n00bs' are annoying too. Damn 11 year olds who insist on showing off their fancy ringtones >_<. Oh, and new cell phones actually sound kinda cool when they ring, unlike the old ones ^_^.

[Kikuichimonji]

omg, in my school, 11 year olds with mobiles actually think their monotones already installed into the fone, COOL!

[Dullahan]

i probably use my phone more for taking pictures than ringing people.
