Ms Cobalt Blue

When it comes to my mobile phone, I am stuck in the ...stone age,

even though Europe had today's type of modern mobile phones before

the U.S. I live in ...cloudy Ireland and have ...sunny dashes to Greece!

Everybody is raving about smartphones, but every ...week

it seems there is a new one out and I am soooo confused.

1) Which would be the best for me to get for fast mobile internet access,

camera (taking photos, video), music?... without my becoming a slave to it ....

2) Which would be the easiest for a newbie to use?

3) Which has larger 'keys' for typing?

4) Which one has the LOUDEST alarm sound/ telephone ring

-- since it IS, after all, a telephone!!!

5) Obviously, because I do not appreciate changing(upgrading) my phone

very ...month, which smartphone do you think would be factory-supported

(as a phone, ex. for parts, etc.) supported (with apps) up to three years,

without them discontinuing it?! I have been looking at Samsung Galaxy S,

iPhone or the new MS smartphone or one by Sony Ericson, but did not actually

get to see any of these phones in action because they were ... PACKAGED!!!!!

6) Are ALL languages automatically pre-installed or will I have to install Greek

separately because I need the option to receive messages.

7) Please re-read the initial Question -- it needs to be answered, too.

Also, if I have to (meaning mandatory),can any apps I purchase be transferred to

new phone? How?

8) What is wi-fi? Do I buy it? How is it used? Does it work on EVERY smartphone?

Is it important to have?

9) Is bluetooth important? How is it used?

The sales people were asked the above same questions pertinent to

helping me make up my mind in getting an EXPENSIVE smartphone.

I did not get straight answers AND I did not get a new smartphone.

Your answers are welcome.

Thank you!

These are the 21 candidates:

You may have noticed that "The Acropolis" in Athens, Greece happens to be a most deserving candidate.

In the first ever travel guide

made by the Athenians for the Athenians

of the Classical era, the ORIGINAL "Seven Wonders"

were featured (and they were all located outside Athens), which is the only logical reason why The Acropolis was not included in that list. So, I guess you realize why it is HISTORICALLY and MONUMENTALLY important and for the Acropolis of Athens to be included --NOW-- in this world-wide version of the "New 7 Wonders".

PLEASE VOTE FOR THE ACROPOLIS (Code No. 01)

You will not only be part of the making of history;

you will be completing Ancient History!

As a Citizen of the Modern World, please make sure that this architectural MASTERPIECE of the 5th century B.C. will NOT be left out ...again!;)
