WHY I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY
Nokia 6600
Why did you buy it?
It's small, but not small enough to lose, and it's slightly bouncy, so it doesn't mind much if I drop it in a club. It's got a camera inside, which I use all the time when I'm out. I design for high-street chains, so it's always useful to have a subtle way of taking photographs of what the competition are up to!
What does it do for you?
It lets me keep in touch with the office and my friends. You can't exist without a mobile these days, people would shun you like a freak if you only had a land line. I like being able to send and receive photos. I didn't realise I'd use the camera so much, but I'm always taking snaps of strange things I see and sending them to friends.
Would you recommend it to others? Why?
Yes. It's cute and easy to use. I haven't seen another phone that I wanted more. I'd like the camera to take better quality photos, but most of the time it's good enough to get an idea of what things look like.
