Talk:Mobile Phone

Revision as of 06:34, 8 August 2011 by MrLanceVanceDance (talk | contribs) (contributed to a discussion)

How can we be certain that Niko starts off with a BitterSweet phone? The phones screen says badger, not bittersweet, and the phone looks completely different. It would also appear that the bittersweet is an advanced smartphone, but Nikos first phone is very basic, it was Romans old phone, and he isn't exactly rich. Hbriz 07:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree. --spaceeinstein 07:39, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

'Pickup' tag

DT-boy, I've already explained why the phone does not meet the Wiki's definition of "pickups" (see the Pickups article). I'm undoing that edit again. If a mod could weigh in on this, I'd appreciate it. Samadriel 13:17, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Name

With the article renamed, isn't the current name going to cause confusion on what constitutes a "phone"? What about public phones? - ZS 07:27, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

I reckon that this article's name should be changed to "Mobile Phone" or "Cell Phone" as it is more specific and accurate of a name for this article, as "Phone" can refer to almost any type of phone like telephone, home phone, public telephone etc.--MrLanceVanceDance 08:54, 7 August 2011 (BST)

Agreed, I shall move it to Mobile Phone since that is the international term (Cell is just US/Canada), unless the game specifically calls it a cellphone? gboyers talk 11:55, 7 August 2011 (BST)

The games do call it cell phone as they should since the games are set in the US.--spaceeinstein 14:41, 7 August 2011 (BST)
That's fine if they do - but where do they call it that? The only thing I could think of were adverts. gboyers talk 16:13, 7 August 2011 (BST)
Mission prompts that tell you to get and use the cell phone.--spaceeinstein 22:05, 7 August 2011 (BST)
Fair enough, let's move it to Cell Phone then? gboyers talk 00:57, 8 August 2011 (BST)

I don't think that the article's name should be moved to "Cell Phone". Cell Phone is only used by the Americans while Mobile Phone is the universal term for this commnunication device. Also, we should not bias towards American English or American Terms.--MrLanceVanceDance 07:34, 8 August 2011 (BST)
