energetic has a point...it all depends of how many people actually care to share that information for fellow esatonians (or esatorians? lol)
I, for one, don't mind @ all

I think it is a good idea, however the current layout is sufficient in my opinion. It all depends on the ppl how much they want to fill out.

In principal it is a good idea, but completely unpractical. The idea of knowing where other members come from is a good one as it would facilitate faster and easier solutions to problems related to specific countries e.g. where to find a service centre, where to find a particular stockist, etc As has been stated most people either don't fill their profiles fully or submit 'humorous' information; even if there were a list of countries to choose from I am sure that some bright sparks would choose a country other than the one they actually live in.
I suppose the nearest we have to targeting country specific issues, at the moment, are the individual threads for specific countries, although as many of you will know, Esatonians not from the country in question often post in that country’s thread anyway.

@bacanito
To be fair the majority of SE users reside outside the North American continent, so one is bound to find mainly Europeans and Asians on Esato.
@bobafett
What are you choosing Sweden for?

Oh, how I would love to change that...there's so much about cellphones and GSM/UMTS that a lot of north americans don't know...The under-development and the fact that SE doens't manufacture CDMA phones also plays a big part...

@energetic - Quite a nice idea you have there !
If only @laffen will be favorable to it I can provide him some Nationality Flags in GIF format that can be placed in our profile box below our 'avatars'. I do have (almost) a complete line of it in my archive . . . .
From:
Australia:
to . . .
Yugoslavia:
I just don't think that we have members here from countries which letters starts with 'Z' - like Zaire and Zimbabwe
Of course this suggestion will just go in vain (as usual) if we are to consider the amount of 'BANDWIDTH' this idea might consume
!

@ jojo, can we put them in our signature? If so, hook me up with the Colombian flag

@bacanito - My apologies here, but I'm not familiar with the 'hooking-up-signature' thing
The only 'hook' thing that I know is that of 'hookers'
! Maybe I can just post it here and see if you can copy
it mate.
@moderators - My apologies here (bandwidth issue), but I just cannot upload my GIFs in uploadit.org site - they don't accept, only JPEG/BITMAP formats
Colombia:
Oops . . . I mean this one here :
I hope it's the one you're looking for mate
