Nippon Dreamland

Will my hunt for the perfect cellphone ever be in vain?
Probably, unless I move to Japan..

Dirty Tees

These are dirty enough to qualify. "Will fuck for hard liquor"? Hell yeah. Now all I need is a body to match the attitude. My balls say yes, my neurospecialist just laughed funny.

Stiletto Unfolded

This is basically going to come too late for my next cellphone purchase, but Motorola is making a candybar form version of their Razr V3.
Why candybar? Because it's a simpler design form than a opening phone. The Siemens below was probably the first flip phone I ever considered, and I'd rather ahve that in candybar, too.

Fingerspitzengefühl

As I'm looking at phones I decided to try my own hand at designing. There's a philosophy behind the design, but since I think those are often used to excuse design flaws I'll just show you as is.

Pale Complexity

I'm not dead yet, surprisingly, although still hurtin a lot. A bit before my fall my t630 ot run over a by a car- well two basically. I was just starting to enjoy the camera - not having photographed since art school - but was also frustrated by the inability to transfer pics directly to pc.
By the time my neck is healed the phone will too old to pay for repairs, so I'm thinking of treating myself to a new phone then.Wich means the hunt is on. I want; a easy to use low-pix camera that looks good. Low-pix because if you really want to make a3 prints of your pics you have a mental problem. 640*480 is postable and looks good- even overkill- online.
Lookswise I liked the apple-ish design of my white i630, but anything squarish will do. Curves don't work on something that small, organic design negates the hi-tech feel I think. Everything else is overkill, but ill take synchronized calenders if it doesn't cost 800 euros.
I'll be looking at a few phones, and one of the first that cought my eye is the siemens SF65
Phone
No bluetooth, but it can transfer pics via data cable.. One negative point is reviews say the screen needs a bright enviroment - although the flash looks promising for party pics.
Price seems to be about 400 euros wich is a bit much, it might drop in the next months but it is the first phone, I'll be posting about more phones later..
