Seen the 'You Are Boring' article on SR...? Well apparently I must be boring then. I have a mobile phone, however unlike just about every other teenager (well, it seems like that to me) I don't carry my mobile with me 24/7, or spend money customising it. In all honesty why would I want to? Wow, I can get some stupid beeps that sound vaguely like a song onto my phone, I'd rather save a quid or whatever the price tag on them is thesedays. Why do I need a new phone case, I've got one already... just because mine is plain and doesn't have some 'cool' logo on it, it seems I must be boring.
And apparently nine out of ten people say they are addicted to their phone... What? How the hell can you be addicted to a phone? Can someone please explain this to me...? I thought you used a phone to ring people, and maybe send some text messages... how can you be addicted to phoning someone? And more to the point why would you want to be? Seems the 'coolest' phone owner is the one who wastes half their money on useless crap.
And also some people in this survey said that your phone says as much about you as the clothes you wear or music you like... Riiight... Well, just shows that joe public is so obsessed with superficial things, I'm suprised that anyone bothers to talk to people (isn't that what phones are used for?) and get to know them, maybe we should just find out what phone they have, then obviously we'll know plenty about them. Ironic really. And the clothes you wear, well, I think that's crap anyway. People who judge by clothes must be pretty stupid, they're just stereotyping.
Anyway, I've had my rant. If you have a mobile phone and buy lots of stuff for it then what are your views, and I'm not intentionally having a dig at you, I just think people seem to be becoming more stupid by the day. How the hell can a phone tell you ANYTHING about a person?!? (and don't give me the 'well it could if you read their messages' answer smart @rs*)

I hate this corporate culture, it is just sad to look at, people live to get new phone addons and clothes which are just useless anyway.
We can transform you from a grey-clothed dullard into The Fonz overnight*
*Fonz transformation not guarenteed
Heh, excellent. Snuggly is very funny at times.
Mobiles suck. Sorted. I'm not boring, so sod 'em.
"You're boring." says a retard in Kappa.
"Ah, but you see, my IQ is three times yours and in 10 years I'll be earning lots whereas you'll be in exactly the same situation, spending your meagre wages on credit."
Then you run away.

I dont use my phone much either or put logos or ringtones on it, whats the point anyway. All you need is to be able to talk on it, whenever you need to.
Yeah, I seem to use mine most for texting a radio show with song requests!
The show is on at 2am, so E-mailing them mid-show isn't usually an option... so I text in my song request and occasionally they read me out and play the song...
Don't really use it apart from that unless I'm going to a party or summit and need to call my family.

I must be like you then, sibs.
I have a nice phone, but thats all it does really. Sits there at home, on the telephone table, looking nice. It has no customized ringtones. It has the original case. And it doesn't have any fancy logos.
The only thing I use it for really is contacting my family if I'm not at home.
My friends look shocked at me when they ask if I have mobile on me, and I reply with the fact that it's at home. Mobiles aren't essential, but it seems many people don't realise that, as they sit there at home sending 20 text messages (which could all be said in one short convesation on the phone, costing half as much. Or even use the home phone, even cheaper!)
My credit on my phone hasn't even changed for a couple of months. If I want to talk to my friends, I either wait to speak to them in person, or use MSN which is free.
Like RBS, I only use mine for familly things.

People look at me like I'm insane when I tell them I've got a phone, but it's not on me...
;D

There - I'm special!!!!!!!!

Heh, I have a phone. I use it to phone my mum and let her know if my trains late/cancelled and for nothing else other than that.
