Any Suggestions?
Monday, June 07, 2004
I chatted with my eldest son this evening and he urgently needs a tri-band (GSM 1900) mobile phone, MP3 playback, MMS/GPRS capable, infrared/bluetooth connectivity, 64 MB MMC/upgradeable BUT, with NO CAMERA. Yahoo! SMS messages had been at least 3 hours delayed before I received them as SMS and he's already offline once we received his message that he's waiting for us to go online. I had difficulty finding what's the best cell phone for my son because it is forbidden to send and receive images in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he is currently located. If one is caught using a camera phone, the penalty is confiscation of the unit plus SR 2,000 cash!
We would like to choose between Smart and Globe SIM card for his International Roaming access to exchange MMS but, I still have to coordinate this matter with these two communication providers if it is possible to do so.
NOKIA 9210i seems perfect for his need at first glance but it's dual band only and based on my online search, it does not support MMS, polyphonic ringing tones and GPRS. Therefore, before buying, I had thought to post here my concern, any suggestions in mind?

Let me know you were here, your thoughts are welcome!I wish I knew more about cell phones. That is one device I don't own or use. Not that I can't afford one, but my stepdad died of a brain tumor back in 1974. It was caused by RF radiation he was exposed to during his Navy days. He was in back in the days, before they knew about the hazards of Radio Frequency waves. The cell phone industry, while some have admitted that they have seen RF waves affect brain activity, have not completed any long term studies on the impact these waves may have on the brain. While I agree that these are very low powered waves compared to the Radars and Communications Equipment I have worked on over the years I do know that the Navy was concerned enough to make sure we were not exposed to this energy. The brain is an organ that we know little about. Little things like a bump on the head can change a person for life. I am still a firm believer that even these minute waves will have some long term affect on the brain, so until they prove to me beyond a shawdow of a doubt tht they are not harmful I'll use the old land line phone. Sorry I can't help you out with a good model number for your son.
