    What mobile phones does everyone have?

    RIP K800i.. HELLO N73... Had a K800i which my missus dropped into water... so said my last goodbyes to that and bought a Nokia N73. Cant say that i am happy with it but with a 2GB miniSD card it definitely held me off buying an ipod... I still miss my K800i :rip: though. Was a bloody good phone....
