I would feel a little bit helpless without my phone, yes...
It was a statussymbol for me when I was one of the,like 20, first in Sweden to own a T630 Black. The white version came a few weeks later.

My first mobile phone in 1998 was the very modest Ericsson 688. Back then it was a status symbol, even for such a modest phone, coz I was one of the very few blokes in school who had a mobile at all.
Now, 7 phones later, I own a k700i. This phone - while it could have been a status symbol - is a necessity, even a mere commodity. I can't live without it.
It also serves as a pretend tool when I'm approached by pesky salespersons on the street. Just pretend as though I'm in the midst of a very important business deal over the phone (when actually I'm talking to no one at all), and the salesman will leave me alone.

My wife has a Z600 (which I bought to replace her 5110) and my boss has a Motorola E398 (which I bought when he sent me out with his credit card). Other than that everyone I know is still using Black and White screen phones. Can't send any of them pictures/video clips
or sound via MMS. AAARGH!
At least here on esato everyone is up with the play!

Bah! During the glorious old days when cell phones did not exist and neither did the concept of Mobile technology exist, people never needed mobile phones. They were perfectly happy and content with what they had at that time. It's just that technology is expanding, spreading it's vile tentacles into daily walks of life, making people more and more dependant on certain luxuries without which they were leading simple, happy, natural lives. Science is infiltrating God's pure creations and is making people ignorant in appreciating the true beauty of nature in it's total naturality and also ignorant of the daily miracles that God creates. The wild, inherent and pure natural pleasures that men used to get from hunting down their own food and fighting among themselves to death to get the women of their dreams is the true pinnacle of Social status. With the advent of science and technology, the putrid stench of human creation started to overrule the miracles of God and new Scientific Miracles started to emerge which infact began to make man more lazy, more laid back and more dependant on things that he never needed in the first place. Clothes, Telephones, televisions.... and now mobile phones... Who needs them. To hell with social status. They are satanic demons destined to suck out all the remaining meagre natural pleasures that might still be experienced. Artificial experiences aren't as rewarding. It used to take generations of humans to migrate from one place to another - Now that's the true joy of travelling. Zooming around the globe in jet planes just doesn't cut it. To sum it up, technology has done nothing more than making people lazy, spread the outreach of porn to innocent young minds, creating all sorts of radio waves in the atmosphere leading to cancer, dangling nuclear dangers over our heads and creating a higher percentage of myopes in the world. The very fact that you are now dependant on mobile phones and can't live without it proves my point.
DISCLAIMER: All of the Above is Crap. I have no control over my schizoid split personality who decided to lambast science.
As for me,
I can't live without my beloved T610 and my Fascinating P910. Long live technology. Life is so much more simpler now. Plus i love the fact that people's head's turn in awe and jealousy when i whip out my stylish p910. Elevates my social status.
In fact i wish i was born in a time where man had run out of ideas, where all possible inventions had been invented and all possible discoveries had been discovered. I feel saddened at the thought that i won't be able to see the most advanced things man creates. Things that won't ever exist in my imagination.
Cheers. My split personality apologises for posting utter nonsense in this nice thread.

Going by the immense activity in this thread, i'm guessing most people do not realise the importance of their phones.

ehm.... I don't feel naked or helpless without my phone...... the main reason I take it with me is that I have a away to call out for help in case of an emergency... other than that i do not care for being reachable at all times and feel the same when I leave home without my phone.
Also I don't feel 'defeated' when somebody has a more 'bling' phone than I do, a phone is a phone is a phone in the end and although I like features and use them too (often I know more than the owner of the 'bling' phones anyway
) the extra features on the phone are a convenience to me, not a life necessity. I like being able to call up a street map when I'm in a different town with the same device I take snapshots with, but a regular camera and a paper map would serve me just as well
