ACTUALLY… :007)
A cell phone is called a cell phone because the telephone company divides its coverage area into cells 10 square miles (26 sq. km) in size. Each cell is a base station including a tower and radio gear that broadcasts and receives on dozens of frequencies.
However we here in Australia call them mobiles too. I like german term, there your mobile would be known as a "handy".
Cell, mobile, handy… it's all good. In fact with many people forgoing landlines now, they are often just referred to as phones B-)
Technology hey? Bloody exciting times I reckon. Who remembers the old school meaning when someone referred to wireless?

That what I was thinking about, these "cells" in which the network is divided. I will call it anyway a cell phone, everybody is using the "mobile phone" term nowadays and it sounds not as attractive as the "cell phone" term (yeah, whatever...)

Don't talk to me about the Carphone Warehouse! Will never darken their door again after they screwed me over a coupe of years ago...
For me I'll keep it Mobile phone. For acting and writing purposes I have to try to keep Americanisms and UK English in separate boxes in my head. - Plus I am Scottish!! Too many potential dialects!! Ahem, normal service resumed.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
It will be for sure a Sony Ericsson after the information that Sony Pictures are on the board. The question is, if Bond will go with a "standard" phone like the k800i or the c902, or will they take one of the new XPERIAs. There is still some time, but i think there was a tip about 5 new Sony Ericsson prototypes which came from Japan in the mid 2008, later they were all used in Quantum of Solace, so the situation can be very similar. I bet Bond will go with a traditional cell phone.
I hope they don't use the SE smart phone (Xperia) - it's absolutely crap
I've had a SE phone now for many years, but finally upgraded to a smart phone - HTC Desire S :x However, the SE Xperia has had such awful reviews.... and I know someone who has one... and they think it's crap too )
Bond has to go 'smart' phone - they are such nifty bits of kit.... and do ALL sorts
As for the B&O phone - really? My God, that looks hideous )

Well, as far as I have noticed in the previous films, all phones used by Bond were transformed to smart-phones (I mean the k800i and the c902). I mean - not "in real", but they had different software than the stock models, other screen dimensions (c902), of course many special options like the built-in GPS etc etc. They will probably make the same thing again, they will take one of the "normal", probably the next high-end model (that's somehow odd - both phones used by Craig were best-sellers and the best Sony Ericsson has ever produced ^^), from the mid 2012. But it will be a SE, I'm 100% sure here.
Yeh, I know what you mean.... interactive screen - although that model to us normal people didn't work like that.
SE have been leaders on their phone technology, however the Xperia seems to have been a real dud.... shame, as I really wanted another SE phone.... but I couldn't NOT get the HTC - it's superb... and the high def display is brilliant.
Well perhaps they will have another 'concept' phone in the next Bond, that will be then produced (although I'm now locked in a 2 year deal.... so I won't be getting another phone for a while now... )

The HTC's are great, my sister has one (not something special - the Wildfire, but anyway...). Because of the reviews I'm quite sure they wont use a XPERIA, unless they will make a good one finally (I don't know anything about the new XPERIA Arc however, but because of the crappy software-lock it sucks anyway from the very beginning ^^)

Really?! I think it looks like one of those Bakelite phones in ye old days of yore. But a rather abstract version: I'd want a play on it but I wouldn't want one permanently. i dont think. but it does look satisyingly square. like a cigarette carton or something.
That said, I'm a Droid X user, and as far as versatile gadgets go, the Droid is more or less a Q-Branch gizmo out of the box...
I recently picked up a Droid X. Its an fantastic phone. Just put a copy of my FRWL dvd on the phone and have got to say it looks great on the big Droid X screen.
This is off topic but how do you put movies on the droid x?
Well, since "double-0's" have a short life expectancy, your mistake will be short-lived.
It will probably be a Sony Ericsson. I have both phones from CR and QoS and I have no problems.
I use the k800i on a daily basis and mine is from 2006.
I think an android, the atrix 4g has a fingerprint scanner, now is that not James Bond?

I recently downloaded document scanner and barcode scanner aps to my HTC. If That's not a Q adaptation I don't know what is! Scan quality on the document scanner is good too!
I found this article while I was checking my emails. (Scroll down to No 6) I can't comment on its authenticity...
Funny I read this last night and today on BBC radio 4 there was a story of Saab closing as it's Broke, Amazing to think of some of these world wide brands disappearing.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
The only thing with these smart phones (I have the the latest HTC desire S) is their battery life.....
1 day at best..... not very good if you are off the grid for a few days....(and I can't see Bond packing x number of charger adapters... ) )
Don't get me wrong the technology is fantastic, but with like all these smart phones, the battery life is critical. (And poor at best, especially compaired to my SE W715)
Something that will have to be sorted, for Bond to use one of these gadgets, caus ANYONE using these will know, that if he is in action so to speak, for longer than a day/night - his phone is going to be toast.... unless M comes up with some super cool gadget that charges up his phone from nothing.... )
