Who decides whether a phone is ******? You? Maybe the user should decide whether its a good phone or not.

I'll tell you who. Monopolistic cell providers with crap contracts and locked in phones. Blame them.

My cellular telephone device can make telephone calls, send and receive text messages, and is small enough to fit into my pocket. Anything more is for suckers who are paying way too much for crappy features.

that list isn't really impressive. cellphones in asia = impressive.

I bet if they had a list for the US it's like

1) Blak RaZr
2) Pink razr
3) silver razr
4) krzr
5) rokr
6) stop buying sh!tty phones plz kthx bye.

Sad.

What is sad is that you care so much about what phones are popular here. Or in Sweden. Or that you care so much about cell phones at all. It's a fvcking telephone!

That whole list in the link you sent is meaningless to me. Never heard of any of them. Why would I want to know how all about a bunch of phones I don't even own? :confused:

No you don't. PDA phones blow at both being a phone and being a PDA.

I like my RAZR, but I just use it as a *shock* phone. I have no interest in surfing the internet, text messaging, loading the "latest" ringtones, taking pictures, etc. When I use the RAZR, I'm calling someone, or someone is calling me...that's it. I even had them turn of text messaging on it.

I guess I'm not cool now...damn.

:roll:

That's their number 2 phone, a POS B&W candybar that does what it should best, MAKE CALLS.

But I will admit, the US sucks when it comes to phones compared to everywhere else, that's why I like to buy my phones whenever I'm overseas :p

my phone makes phone calls.
do all those listed on your Top 10 American phones do that? If so then they are perfectly fine by me.

I have some random LG phone. It doesn't even have a camera. But I really don't care to be honest. I use it as a phone (shocker) and it works flawlessly for that.

Motorola Razrs are just a stupid fad like iPods.

He might've gotten it for free with one of the billion deals they have for "OMG WTF FREE RAZR?!"
