What mobile phone do you have and why?
-
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:

I am using a Motorola Moto G since a couple of weeks - mostly because I heard only good things about it and because I found that the price was fair. However, these days its 4,5" screen feels nearly too small to me. Before that I used a Nexus 4 for quite some time. In general I like plain Android but I am also interested in Firefox OS phones - if they gain critical mass and come out with decent specs and screen size at a fair price.
One thing I like about the Moto G is that its battery life is quite good for my usage. It lasted 4 days after the first charge. The Nexus 4 never went beyond 2 days. -
Just a Galaxy SIII I9305. I'm not hung up on Samsung or anything, it's just my current phone.
For me a Smartphone must have the following features:
Big Screen, yet still fit in my Pocket (a Galaxy Note is way too big)
Good-Enough Camera
Removable Battery
CyanogenBig screen, because it serves as mobile Office and Device-Datasheet-Viewer on site when I'm at work. Viewing schemes and plans and stuff like that.
The SIII is not the newest anymore but I'm typically not the guy that has to have the newest and bestest phone. If I have a phone that works nice and I have configured it to fit my particular need, I'll keep until it falls apart.
My SIII is doing that just fine.

I use Samsung Galaxy S21 and I am very satisfied.

I have been using my Samsung S10e since 2019. I've been using Samsung for a long time now but I was mostly drawn to this one because it was brand new at the time, had a punch hole front facing camera (one of te only ones back then), and it was samll enaugh to fit my hands (I like using my phone one handed). And of course it was cheaper than the S10
-
Samsung Galaxy S5, because I can't afford to upgrade.
-
-
you will probably be glad that someone answers you, 8 years after you made the post. I'm still using my Samsung s8, because it can record calls natively, with the default Samsung dialer.
Which is utterly cool!

I also use iPhone and as in my opinion, it's trending in always, easy to use, and about privacy features. iPhones tend to hold their worth pretty well. It’s easier to resell an iPhone than an Android mobile if you want an upgrade. Though some Android devices also hold their value pretty well, the cost of the upgrade is less distressing for iPhone users.

I am using Samsung Galaxy A50. I bought this phone on an online sale/offer.

@ramunas said in What mobile phone do you have and why?:
Using a Nokia E6, just because I'm too cheap to buy a new iPhone :whistle:
