    Mobile Phone Gadgets you actually USE

    I love my compass...on my Nokia 5140.

    Twice I've used it to find an address in a town, where the maps dont correspond to the roads, and simply to know which direction I'm heading is all I need.....once my sense of direction has a "heads up" I'm sorted and it has been invaluable when finding places

    And at £150 and under on orange jt, tis a bargain! Dont forget the sound level monitor for checking your fan dbls not to mention the led torch for looking in all the nooks in your case.

    I use the mp3 player with loudspeaker, bluetooth and camera...on my K700i regularly.

    Very decent phone with tons of features I don't use including Remote for computer (PP Presentations, music, general desktop features) I will one day!

    I regularly use my Nokia 7610 for:

    • Chatting on MSN messenger
    • Watching Simpsons/Family Guy/film XVids
    • Listening to ogg/aac music
    • Quickly googling stuff via Opera when an arguement breaks out down the pub
    • Checking the football scores via Opera
    • Playing bluetooth games against people
    • Taking down quick notes
    • Calculating stuff


    When I'm really bored, I use it to phone people too.

    I use my infra-red on the P8xx/9xx to control the TV (hows that you ask... with a simple plugin)

    I also use MSN messenger on it occasionally, but the voice record functions great for remembering phone numbers when drunk

    Oh and with a 256Mb memorystick its my mp3 player for on the way to work as well

    The camera on my S700i for taking pictures of bits that have broken on various the instruments I look after makes finding replacements way easier.

    Just email picture to supplier and ask what think it is.

    agile messenger - took me a while to get it working with O2, but I mainly use it via bluetooth while @ home as the O2 active is pathetic to say the least.

    I use Agile Messenger on my 7610 with O2 and it seems to work fine. You just have to make sure that you select the "O2 MOBILE WEB" access point (assuming you're on a pay monthly contract).

    My MPx200 is amazing. I watch full divx Futurama episodes on the train

    I've also been thinking about a 5140 to take skiing with me as an outdoor phone
