unintelligent robbers in manila prefer nokia phones. These robbers know nokia are more in demand in greenhills thats why. hehehe. but the intelligent ones, (those who know the specs of phones) prey on sony ericsson and samsung phones. nokia phones when sold as second hand appraise lower than SE or samsung handsets. i once experienced a snatching incident. when i was about to alight from the bus i was boarding, two men "sandwiched" me on my way out. since the bus exit was narrow, i didnt think negatively. then, suddenly i felt a hand going inside my pocket. i stared at the owner of the hand and said firmly "that is MY phone". i cant let him snatch my phone. its not yet even paid (its under a contract hehehe)

I was in Barcelona for a conference in 2004 with my new (at the time) P900, and had come out for some coffee at Starbucks one afternoon. As I sat at a table with my laptop in front of me and phone on the laptop's right side, this little kid came in from the street and walked right up to my table. He held out a piece of cardboard which had 'I am an orphan. Please give me some money for food' written on it, in several languages. I looked at his face and he had tears in his eyes, looking totally sorrowful and pathetic. So I felt a bit sorry for him and gave him some change I had in my pocket, and he took it and ran off. I went back to my laptop and was sitting around for maybe 10 minutes when I realized my phone was gone. There was a moment of disbelief, and then I shouted "F***!" and got up and ran out on the street, but he was gone of course.
The little bastard had snuck my P900 into his pocket from underneath the cardboard he was holding out in front of me, above the phone. Very stealthy indeed - I was totally pwned.
lol touching story..

if you leave it on a table infront of you, it's very rare someone tries to take it.
very very tame after what i've read further up!
oh the joy of not living in a city :S

I had a friend get approached to get mugged. He took his phone out and threw it on the ground and stomped it.
The muggers got pissed and left.

I think I should do that, I have very important numbers on my phones and insurance and 10 other phones I can use, and also try and keep my sim card....
Thanks.

well 1 of nicest way of backing up contacts and msgs is zyb.com
lol that stomping thing is funny, if we do that in our country, the robbers would shoot a 1 bullet headshot
