Ages and ages ago, I did a post on the top ultra-super-mega-dirt cheap mobile phones on the planet. You remember, the one where the old Sony Ericsson J110 won. Well, that list was of the absolute low-end budget mobile phones, the phones for people who want ‘em simple, cheap and really nice to use. That’s why I only picked phones without a long list of features (or, with most of them on that list, without a feature).
But what about people who want their mobile phone to be cheap, but powerful? What if you want a mobile phone that does have features, but still has a low price?
News has come through from PC World that confirms how big music mobile phones are nowadays. Basically, recent figures released by the Entertainment Retailers Association have shown that over the last two years, 44 million mobile phones that’ve got mp3 players built in (which, let’s face it, is most of ‘em nowadays) have been sold, compared to just 8 million CD players.
Since it’s a Friday afternoon, I thought we’d have a little bit of fun, with a blog post that has no merit whatsoever, but which should give you a laugh at our expense. So, for your reading pleasure, I present the results of our not-in-any-way-useful survey: who in Mobileshop has the worst ringtone on their mobile phone? Who has the ringtone that most makes their co-workers want to smash their head in with a brick?
However, this test needed to be about more than me slagging off people’s ringtones based on my personal opinions. It needed to be scientific, taking in variables such as what mobile phones people are using, the cadence of the song, the hidden meanings…
Ok, I am going to say straight off the bat that I’m going to be a good boy when writing this blog post, as the content of it, although it would normally make me snigger at someone else’s expense, is actually quite serious, and a deeply unpleasant situation for the two people involved.

Gli amici di Phonedog hanno effettuato un video unboxing del nuovo Sony Ericsson Xperia X1…
Ah, we’ve been treated to a few rather neat concept mobile phones over the last few days, and it turns out that today is no exception, because according to PC Advisor, another one’s been announced. This time, however, it’s a mobile phone designed by a Taiwanese research institute, in cahoots with the design house, Pilotfish. And what’s so special about it?
As you can guess from the title, it’s a mobile phone with a bendable, foldable, full colour screen.
Ah, the environment. A hot topic in every walk of life, even mobile phones. We’ve seen some supposed eco-friendly phones, including the Bamboo phone, or as it shall forever been known round here, the baby-panda-phone. Frankly, most of the ideas I’ve seen on making mobile phones ‘greener’ are, to put it bluntly, silly.
How refreshing, then, to see a development that is actually pointful, that I can see the benefits of, and has a much bigger benefit besides ‘saving the planet’ (more on that in a second)…
Here goes with the second of today’s concept mobile phones, courtesy of Engadget Mobile, with a new phone aimed not at the full-on gadget nuts like me, but at the medical and military services, and maybe backpackers. Oh, and First Responders and First Aiders.
It’s called the iCEphone, and as you can see from the pic, it doesn’t exactly follow a traditional design layout…
