Firstly, I'd like to say thank you Blogspot for being the first hosting company that I've tried. It was a real pleasure to expand my blogging horizon, however, I've decided that I would prefer to host my own Wordpress on our company's domain.
Again, farewell.

What do you want from your mobile?
Silly question I suppose
The base of operation on all mobile phones is simply for the functionality of sending/recieving phone calls, but of course, this is not how our choice of mobile brand and model is influenced nowadays. I myself have a Nokia 3120 on Pay as you go. It does the basic things that I need it for, which are: recieving/emergency calls (not a heavy chatter), the occasioanl text message and finally, MP3 player to and from work. My very first phone was a 3210 which in terms of what I used it for, didn't have a music player.
I am looking to invest on a new phone as many of you are, but what do we base our choice on? Seeing as I'm in a mobile phone enviroment here in Telecom 3, features are coarsing through my brain. Apart from the many inc minutes/texts, basic camera, text messaging capabilities, here's what I've come up with.
Entertainment: As a secondary function similar to the Nintendo DS/MP3 player and a portable DVD player rolled into one, a multimedia portable machine...everything that you could ever want to keep you entertained. Specifications to consider; what formats your videos/music will play (MP3 music, DivX/MPEG-4/WMV video bwing the most common), sound features (MegaBass, TrackID Recognition), games (downloadable), screen size, resolution of the screen, size memory (is it expandable?) and connectivity which is important for your data transfer.
Camera: Nothing is better than capturing the moment on camera. Although camera functionality is inherited in all mobile phones today, some are specialised in this aspect. The number of megapixels is only one characteristic relating to the quality of a camera, or the actual quality of a photo it is capable of producing and the resolution it will be captured at. The next part would be the quality of lens, focus functionality, type of flash and camera modes. Other things to be aware of is the memory (expandable?) and connectivity which will be methods on data transferring and possibly 3G coverage for internet access to the social networks for direct image transfer to your blog.
Business: Your goal here is to be reachable wherever and whenever. Being able to have access to information with connectivity via 3G for internet access to your e-mail and be able to read documents and spreadsheets thanks to the in-built office applications available to your mobile phone. Need a GPS device? Why not have one included in your phone.
As simplistic a person I am, my choice when I eventually get round to it will be mainly for camera functionality to capture things that I find facinating, nights out and holidays. What do you want the most our of your mobile?
