What mobile phone do you have and why?
-
I have a Nokia 3500. I bought it because it was $30 and I wanted a phone with a better battery life. I don't really like using a cell phone, so I just have something cheap so I have one the odd time I need it.
I am thinking of getting a smartphone soon. I feel like I'm getting left behind on an important piece of technology. Not really sure what to get, so I'll have to do some research.

I've been a Nokia user for years. I still have the 6310 and it still works; and the battery outlives the Samsung S3 I use for some months now. I also have a Nokia E71 who refuses to give up.
I must say I dislike the touchpads because I have to keep my eyes on them all the time and I don't have a touch feedback. Plus, I can activate a lot of stuff if I touch the display by mistake. On the other hand, the S3 is good for its big display (for reading and zooming), the 2 cameras who take excellent photos and the storage space. -
Nokia N97 mini
I was a BIG Psion fan and the N97 mini with its flip-out keyboard is just a smaller version of that.
Wanted a Nokia 808 but by the time I'd just about summoned up the courage to pay the ludicrous price, they'd discontinued it!
Then I wanted a 1020… and lusted after a lime-green one. And are Nokia releasing a green one? No. Or magenta? No. So, I wait...

Nokia 6300. I hate smartphones
Smartphones limit my freedom.
Well said! I'm using SE K800i, but only for calls, text messages and photos, without internet.

Both my wife and I run Windows Phone 8 on the HTC 8x. We use the Windows Phone because our son works for Microsoft.
-
LG Motion 4G, Model LGMS770 (Android 4.0.4) because it was on sale.

As part of my work at Opera I have used a lot of phones. I typically kept 5 to 10 phones with me at any one time. I wanted to be able to test our software on a big variety of phones and demonstrate as well. I loved the fact that Opera, both Mini and Mobile, would run on very limited hardware.
Now I have a few phones that I use on a regular basis. My current default phone is the Samsung Note. I like the big screen and I wanted to try a phone with a really big screen to see if I could do without a keyboard. Sadly, I would still prefer a keyboard and would love a really big phone with a full size keyboard. I loved the Nokia 9210 and I would love a decent replacement.
My second phone is the Sony Xperia E. It replaces my Sony Tipo Duo, that replaced my MyPhone as my preferred dual sim phone. As I have local phone numbers in Norway, Iceland and the US, I like being able to reduce the number of phones to carry at times by having a dual sim. I would love a quad sim…
My third phone is the Nokia E7. Great phone with a great keyboard.
I have a number of other phones for testing, but these are my current set of phones, but I guess I will need to replace the Nokia soon.
Cheers,

Nokia 808 currently.
Symbian give you most of the freedom out of the box (in comparison with iOS, Windows and Android). Greatest photo camera as of today, and probably in years to come. Great, fast and free offline maps and navigation. It has Opera Mini and Opera Mobile

I´ve got the ex|phone. Unfortunately it is only available in Germany.
It is so practical in all situations! I can´t imagine my life without the ex|phone anymore.
And with the integrated nuclear power plant (80+ ys. lifetime!) one is completely independent of external energy sources! When others come home to recharge their smartphone I connect my house to the ex|phone to provide it with electricity and heating! -

Why?
I do not need another -
I've got a classic mono-bloc phone
Few reasons :
-European OS (at least originally)
-Nice physical keyboard
-3G+ - GPS - Phone-as-modem able, by bluetooth or USB
-Opera mini compatible, with Turbo feature reaching a great score of 93% in data usage save (on a long term use) and keyboard shortcut feature for a really easy navigation
-Excellent Battery Life
-Quality design, solid steel finition product -
I own actually a Wiko Cink Peax 2. Good quality/price ratio, better than my previous Samsung Galaxy S2.

Here in Madagascar, we have 3 GSM operators and the costs of calls are not the same.
So you better have 3 SIM cards because people who call you may not have enough credits to call you if you're not having the same operator as them.Personnally, I used an Alcatel OT 890D which can handle 2 SIM cards and one more phone (Samsung GT S5570) for the last SIM card.
But the problem is that you have to bring 2 phones in your pocket and it's not easy to use them if someone calls me while I'm riding my scooter.
So, now I use a chinese gsm which can handle 3-SIM cards
With this one, I just use a bluetooth handsfree-kit and I don't lost time to figure out which phone is ringingI convert my Samsung GT S5570 as a multimedia and gamepad so I use it only for gaming and listening music (thanks Android :whistle: )

I prefer the Google Nexus series of Android, because the OS is the plain vanilla version. I currently have a Nexus 4 by LG.

I currently own a Sony Ericsson J108i Cedar. However, I do plan to upgrade to a cheap smartphone under €200 without contract. The Motorola Moto G looks interesting but it's sadly not available in the Nordic region for some strange reason. Anybody have any other recommendations?

I have a Moto X running Android. I am not a big Android fan but the alternatives are worse (iPhone and Winmo). The phone is a great piece of hardware and more powerful than my computer was five years ago. This is my first higher end mobile phone and I am using it more than I thought I would. The biggest hurdle has been input but there are now keyboards available for Android making it possible to type almost as fast as I do on my laptop.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Q (AKA Samsung Gravity SMART in the USA), it's a budget phone which runs on Android 2.2. I've rooted the phone since the internal storage only had 186MB and I increased it by adding my SD card and moving and deleting some apps.
Since I'll be out of my 2yr contract next month I'll need some suggestions on any good phones with a physical keyboard. The last time I used a virtual keyboard I really fumbled a lot with it but if keyboards have improved a lot I wouldn't mind using a phone without a physical keyboard.
-
I used to swear by a physical keyboard. For one, you can literally type without looking at it. It does add a whole lot of mechanical to what could be an ultra-slim and light device.
Now with swiping keyboards being the norm, I like the non physical. Swiping plus speech-to-text makes it all easy and fast for me. I no longer miss the "touch typing" I used to do.
-
Thanks for your opinion! Size doesn't matter especially if it's thin since I still think some would break in my pants, but I guess that's a non-issue. Although slow typing was definitely another issue due to fumbling my fingers all over the screen. I guess I'll give it another shot! :cheer:

An LG F4N via Virgin Mobile Canada
prepaid and I use top up cards.
I wanted a phone with real buttons
I only use it for making and receiving calls
I do not use text messaging or go online with it.I actually bought three of them brand new still in the boxes because I am worried that soon you will not be able to get cell phones with real buttons any more. :unsure:
