Tag Heuer name their phone Meridiist

To the unknown who last wrote on this web page .........
I don't have a BMW. I don't even own any kind of car. Well, if you could call my bycile a "car" then yes ..... I am the proud owner of a two wheeled car! :-))) :-))) :-)))
As for the mobile phone I'm using...
Hey, don't you call my Nokia 6310i a "mid-range nokia", ok?
Tell this thing one more time, and I will let my friends Van Damme and Seagal deal with you, ok? :-))) :-))) :-))) :-))) :-)))

Thank you for your comment (or "answer", whatever...) and whoever you might be and have a nice and sunny day ! ;-)
Vlad.

It was quite entertaining reading how Vlad have to explain half a page of an innocent joke after Kitana took it too personal, no offends to both of you, just in my honest opinion from what I've read. But come to think of it, who knows what phone Vlad really use and how rich Kitana really is. V could be talking on his mid-range nokia but driving his convertible M6. On the other hand, K claim could afford the Tag but may be just living in a small apartment (hypothetically speaking:D). My point is, who cares if someone is rich enough to buy the planet, and who cares if someone is making a "not so funny" joke. K, don't take anything too personal, after all, this is just a public forum anybody can express their feeling in a casual environment. Have a bigger heart, I'm sure it will take you further than money can. V, no need to apologise for a casual joke (again, IMHO), I am impress how you take time to clarify the misunderstand, more power to you! Hope we all step back and enjoy what crappy phone Tag can produce jk jk :) damn I don't want to offend anyone anymore:(

For god's sake can kitana and vlad give it a rest, this isnt the place to have a domestic. get a life and stop getting offended over such a trivial thing kitana. Can people not just put comments on the phone instead?!?! Who cares if you're rich kitana, did you get rich by blabbing to the whole world that you are? Rant over

To Kitana (04): I so sorry my comments offended you. This was not my intention. I wanted to sound funny, to sound like a joke. Offending people I just don't know ... this is not me. Please forgive me. :-(

So much time waiting to buy this phone. I have already known that they will have a problem to do its keyboard but...
Its easier to criticize it than to produce it.

Welcome to the world baby, one of my old good souvenir.

to vlad. I know you're joking, but the joke's on me and I didn't find it funny, but rather offensive. I read a lot of comments here saying that this phone is only for the rich. Stereotyping all rich people to be dumb to buy anything expensive and with a name. That is wrong. I say that because only a stupid person would buy this phone regardless of their financial status. I wouldn't buy a Mercedes for $60,000 if it performs like a Kia, just like I wouldn't buy this Tag Heuer phone for $4000 when its specs are that of an entry level Nokia phone.

This phone fetches 3k+ Euros and it's so much more expensive than the PORSCHE and Nokia 8800 ARTE Sapphire? Tag Heuer is awesome!!! but I won't buy any of this nonsense. It's all for rich and famous

To "Kitana2" (01): I am not complaining at all about "Kitana" and he (she) is absolutely free to do whatever he (she) wants with his money. The fact that I asked for a "Nokia N95 8Gb" was just a joke: I am not a begger and I will never accept excepnsive gifts from anybody.
I really have no use for a "Nokia N95 8Gb", I don't need that kind of phone. I simply love my "Nokia 6310i".
Call me old-fashioned, but ... this is me. :o)
All the best !

To Kitana (03): I was only joking with the other 2 e-mails. The only mobile phone I could (I say "I could" because taking expensive gifts, it's simply not me) take as a gift, is a Nokia 6310i. I've been using these kind of phone for the last 4 years, and honestly: I don't need another one. Let's say that someone buys me an expensive phone, then the next step would be that I will sell that phone and buy a couple more of Nokia 6310is. This phone is the ultimate phone for me and I really wouldn't need another.
I am working harder everyday: today, a little bit more than yesterday and tomorrow, a little bit more than today.
And good luck to you, too and thank you for your time.
Have a nice and sunny day !

PS: When time permitted, come to Romania. It's a great
country. ;o)

@kitana vlad, I was ready to ask the same to kitana but vlad do it first. V you wouldn't complain K on what he do with his money, may be he is helping people in his way. it's hard to heard but this is z best thing you can do to afford it, it's always hard to heard the right. so let's work hard to get one of these phone, or?

to vlad. Sorry but it does not work that way. I worked hard to make money. I started from very little and worked my way up. Maybe you need to work harder =) Good luck.

To Kitana (02): I got a job, but still I can't afford buying a Nokia N95 8Gb. The reason is simple: my monthly income is lower than the price of a brand new Nokia N95 8Gb. But I will find a way to buy a brand new one... This phone really rocks! And if you don't want to buy me a Nokia N95 8Gb, you can buy a Ferrari as well. Or a yacht... or even a private jet. Your choice. :o))

To renzil:

"do they intentionally omit some features off phones just to make the consumer choosing between diff models? another money making marketing strategy"

Well yes actually, exactly right. Think about it - the most 'advanced' camera in a mobile phone is a standard 5MP. This was cutting edge about 5 years ago. They could quite easily put in an ultra high quality 9MP camera. But then, who would go out and buy a standalone camera?

Same with the music. If the MP3 player on your phone had better sound quality than the latest range of Sony Walkman's (NOT the phone, the actual Walkman's), would you go out and buy an MP3 player? No you wouldn't.

So yes, features are cut back and omitted and in very clever, little ways. This way, you have clear differences between top and low range models but, most importantly, it keeps economies strong, businesses in business and employees in employment.

After all, each year the previous best thing is superceded, so you have to 'upgrade' to be at the forefront of technology.

If they were to create the most cutting edge converged device out there, it would cause serious problems as 1. You wouldn't be buying standalone devices and 2. You would have no need to upgrade to newer models as the differences between the two wouldn't justify the cost. This would put businesses out of business!

Welcome to planned obsolescence. Why else has the world (consumer) economy grown consistently year-on-year since the 1980s? If things lasted for ever, we would be living in a perfect communist society. That's why the most cutting edge stuff costs so much money - as it is unlikely it will be superceded for many years to come.

And a throw-away society breeds money. So that's exactly why you cut back features, handicap performance and market like a pr!ck. Funny how we all lap it up..

sad that people buy the phones for their look. must admit that this phone does look cool, specially with the name and the amazing carat-numbers of the screen that we can all read from the news article. but i guess smarter people (rich doesn't always mean stupid) would choose a sony ericsson which is simple, a bit stylish, but can fit everything you need into a phone, or even a nokia which is more complex, a lot better, less stylish but contains everything you need - and don't need into a phone.

to vlad. I said I'm rich. I didn't say I'm dumb. Get a job so you can afford to buy your own cellphone instead of asking others to buy one for you =)

phones are meant to be obsolete in a few months or years...watches aren't ....it's like wine older it gets the more valuable it becomes...i don't mind spending couple of grands on a watch it's worth every penny...
