Is a guy with a old mobile phone sad?

[mwhaley]

I have a friend that has a mobile phone from 4 years ago, he won't change his mobile and i think he looks sad! I believe this is a massive turn off to ladies, what do you think guys/gals?

[mwhaley]

Oh dear.... i've just posted an answer to this and somehow its gone under the Mrs username.... I didnt even know she used it.... Note to myself - may be she on her looking for a guy with an old mobile phone!!! :-(

Right then....

Just a thought, your friends' names are they by any chance Grace, Imogen, Lisa or Nikki. If so, God help you.

[mwhaley]

very funny.... and the answer is NO

[noxlumos]

your not sexy russian too are you? Lol

[joko]

how can you 'accidentally' sign in as someone else?

you would need to input a password for a start

I think it's incredibly shallow if you judge a person by the type of phone he/she has,and I don't think I'd want to go out with anyone who didn't like me on account of my phone anyway. At the end of the day, a phone is needed to phone and text people, anything else is a luxury (and an often unnecessary one in my opinion), I find it very sad when people have to see their phones as a fashion statement.

No, no way would that be a turn-off to ladies. If it is a particularly good-quality reliable model, like the Nokia 6310i, then it might be a turn on for the ladies to know the he is sensibly rooted in real values instead of being influenced by silly things like fashion. It won't be a turn-off to ladies, but it might have that effect on slags and sluts. You know - the sort of fashion-victim, drop-their-knickers-for-anyone let-down to the female half of the human race. It seems that carrying an old mobile could be a way of filtering out the ladies worth bothering with from the sluts best avoided.

Not really joko, I have never put my password in since I joined lol just have it set to "remember me"

All the cool kids have old mobiles now - it's cool and retro! Only bling wannabe gangsta rappers have flash ones!!!

Some people are materialistic, some are not.
I personally am, but would never consider someone "sad" for having an old mobile phone (or anything else for that matter)
What is "old" anyway? I'm sure your friends mobile phone functions perfectly well even in its advanced age!
Maybe i'm "sad" for spending my hard earned money on new stuff i don't need?, only feel i need because "fashion" dictates.
What a silly world we live in!

ahh yes my apologies - i had thought mwhaley had posted as mwhaley only minutes before he posted as his wife, then back to him again - all within a few minutes - but the first one was a few hours before.

mycats - i don't even think i can remember what my password is! lol

i would also say that in few years all these old phones will become 'in' again as they will be 'retro'...;o)

I like guys who like simple things. A guy who isnt interested in what phone he has sound yummy to me. Does you mate have slightly long hair, slightly unshaven for a few days, lovely tanned skin and wear rolled up trousers, flipflops and surf all weekend long and play the guitar in the evening??

[joko]

oooh, goodsoulette...if he does...i'll fight you for him...;o)

[Goodsoulette]

well joko... go to my myspace page and check out david best, he is in my top 8 and he is soooo young and gorgeous, sings like jeff Buckley and so friendly and dunny. His band the highs are doing a showcase in London next month. Fight to the death.

my mates got a girlfriend hes had for 5yrs ,i think he should treat her like a mobile ,her buttons are getting a bit dodgy and she crackles a bit

there is only one word that comes to mind:

shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow shallow

I know thats 45 words but they are all the same so it doesn't matter!!!

I've had my BT Phillips Cellnet since 1996 until a month ago when it quite literally died, it was quite a talking point. I only have a mobile phone in case of emergencies - I believe that to be the only reason to own one. I think they're an embarrassment. I certainly wouldn't be seen dead using one in public. How can anyone in their right mind judge a person by the type of mobile phone they own - it beggars belief. I would rather not own a mobile phone at all than be the type of spiky mulletted pratt braying into one at the top of their voice on a crowded bus. Sad, sad! I'm very disappointed that there are people out there who lay such emphasis on something so tacky and ridiculous. God help us all.

My 'new' phone is going to be a hand me down from Mr Sense ... I'll just get my coat! lol.

[David Black]

Give me an old Nokia 6210 any day.

Mono, no camera but a battery life to die for.

I used go to Canada for a week at a time and it never needed a charge plus it worked beautifully at -46c with a 20 mile an hour gale blowing!

My son "Persuaded" me into getting a new Razor and has now pinched the 3 year old Nokia.

Now that is sad!
