About this Member

I am a freelance graduate research writer for an academic company, but when I am not completing one of their assignments I sometimes find time to write about other things, like mobile phones. I used to work for two of the country's biggest mobile phone companies, and have owned over forty mobile phones in a six year period, so I believe there is some substance behind what I am reviewing!

I also hold a degree in French and German, and during my course I spent five months in Clermont-Ferrand and four months in Heidelberg in an attempt to improve my language and knowledge of the Continent. Thank you to everyone who has rated my reviews. A special thanks to Lyl@, who always leaves me review comments!

I am immensely grateful and surprised to have crowns for seven reviews (on the Sagem MYX-6, Ericsson T68, Alcatel One Touch 735, Siemens S65, Sharp GX15, Siemens C62 and Siemens S55), so thank you too to all those who nominated me for these reviews.

I must point out that my real name is NOT Tom Shanks or Tom S. Hanks or any variation on that theme!
