*presses lots of buttons*

*makes many strange beeping sounds*

*attracts a lot of unwanted attention from passers by*

*examines mobile phone very carefully
Hmm, ahh Right, there must be a button on here which turns it on *presses random buttons ahh, now its beeping at me this technology thing... its so scary...
*frantically presses buttons Great, now its stopped beeping

You could do both of those without a mobile phone though.

The classic that is Scooby Doo.....

Scooby-dooby-doo where are you...we've got some work to do now...

Another thread that could be done is....What mobile phone have you got??
it could embarass many people though, as i'm sure some-one will still have the brick that is the Nokia 3210

Up until recently I had 3 Nokia 3310s (what? I like them, OK!)


About a month ago swapped one for a lovely shiny silver Samsung one that takes photos ( with many happy hours spent at Lux GSM trying to get my UK sim card to work....Not!


(Ok, 1 is my UK service, the 2nd my Lux one, and the 3rd is my son's. But I pay the bills, ergo it's mine)

I've got a Sony Ericsson T68i!
It takes photos & has a great WAP service! & as mentioned before a huuuuuuuggge memory, at one point I had over 100 tones & over 50 moving colour screen animations

Is it worse to have some sort of phone which people think is inferior or an inferior ringtone? Or is the weirdest thing of all to be a programmer of ringtones without ever having owned or played with a programmable mobile phone?

These might be the keypresses for that Montague and Capulet theme by the way (assuming defaults of lowest octave and crotchet value and transposing key up one semitone):

(1)8 48 (5)9# 18* (4)9 18 (5)9#** 48 (1) 48 (5)9# 18* 49 0 (1)9 088 2# (5)9 18* (2)9# 18 (5)9** 28# (1)9 28# (5)9 18* 2999#
tempo: 96

I think the inferior phone is the worst crime!

Some one finish this sentance for me....
You know your phone is inferior when............



lynsey

you have to slot a twenty pence piece into the side for it to work...

You know your phone is inferiour when you constantly spend money buying a new one just to be up to date It is a phone, nokier? or something, a year or two old, it works, can make phone calls on it... Which forfills all I need to do on it therefore Guess I'm just not trendy enough to be bothered weather my phone has a built in coffee machine/camera/sonic screwdriver

I've got the fugue from the end of Walton's 'The Twelve' - it works really well, very jolly. Bit of a fiddle to input though, I think.

Here's the most likely bit of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald/Bare Mountain:
