The Official Cell/Mobile Phone thread!

Seriously, there's absolutely no point in getting a BlackBerry or an iPhone without a data plan. It'd be like buying a Ferrari and only ever using it to pick up groceries. And yes, the data plans on BlackBerry's and iPhones ARE mandatory. At least on AT&T and Sprint.

I'm pretty sure you can't even get one without a data plan. It's a "must add" to the phone when you set it up.
 
I got a Sony Ericson K750i. Got a decent 2mp camera and MP3 player which I no longer use as I felt that an actual MP3 would've suited better. Had the phone for years and have come to realise that as I don't make that many calls or text at all I'd be better off with just a phone that is what it's supposed to be - just a phone.

Call me an old fogie if you like, (I'm only 28) , but I've come to realise that phones these days have got way too much stuff on them when all you need to do is speak to someone or text someone.
 
I have a Motorola K1M that's been stripped down and locked by Verizon. I've had it for 18 months and I can't wait to get another phone when my time comes.

Well..... I am quite sure that you can go without a data plan with Fido, because my iPhone doesn't have a data plan, and Fido is my provider. I have wifi at home, wifi at work, asked around if it was possible to skip the data package, was told it was, and so I told Fido I did not want a data package.

My Blackberry does have a data plan, it is my phone I use for work, and I almost never use any of the functions that require a data package outside of a wifi zone. I do not know if you can go without a data package with a Blackberry, but I have been meaning to see if I can squirm out of that part of my contract--it'd probably be worth it to pay whatever cancellation penalty, I'm thinking.
 
I have an iPhone and I have no complaints about it whatsoever. I get to watch movies on it (like ST III which is finishing up the end credits right now. :D
 
I have a Nokia music Xpress 5310 in black with red highlights.

The main reason I bought it - it's about that size of a credit card. Very slim, light, and can sit in my pocket without my noticing.

I can put 2GB of music in there - more than enough for my needs. Also the memory card is interchangeable so I can carry more music if needed. The quality of sound is equal to the ipod, if not better, in my opinion.

The hardware is very durable and attractive - no scratches so far, although it's been in constant use about a year now. I've also found Nokia software more intuitive and user friendly.

I'm quite happy with the quality of the 2 mega pixel camera. I wouldn't mind 5 or more, but I've had to sacrifice a more powerful camera in order to have a smaller, lighter phone. If I could add one thing to my phone - it would be an ultra powerful 12mp camera.

It has a radio (use it quite often), stereo bluetooth, mp3 dedicated buttons on the side of the face.

I can access the internet - I usually pop into Facebook, and Youtube. It does a lot considering it's size.

I'm going to be quite sorry when it fails. I've had more powerful phones in the past, but this one suits my personal needs perfectly. :)
 
I have an iPhone 3G, I use it for both work and personal use a great deal.

I'd like to get an iPhone 3GS but there's no way I'd pay full price for a speed bump and magnetometer. I have a little over a year left in my contract so I'll just upgrade it then. I'm quite content with sticking to the 3.0 OS upgrade coming out Wednesday!
 
Samsung Blackjack 2
Windows Mobile 6.1

apps:
Facebook
Tiny Twitter
Skyfire
Google Mobile

fun stuff:
PicoDrive (Sega emulator)
PocketSNES (SNES emulator)

I absolutely love it!
Thanks for the suggestions, I just got the Samsung Jack :techman:

I feel exactly the same.
 
I have a slightly dilapidated Motorola KRZR on O2, should hopefully be due for an upgrade soon. I don't want a fancy pants phone, I'd only ever use it to call and text as I do now, but I don't think my current one's gonna hold up much longer.
 
I have two phones. The Nokia 6500 Classic (Black) for everyday use, because it's very slim, very stylish and I love Nokia's Series40 interface, it does all that it needs to do very well. It has a 2mp camera with LED flash, can play mp3's, has 1Gb of internal storage memory and it's so light I can't even feel it in my pocket, so it's a winner for me.

The other phone is a Nokia N95. It does everything. GPS, Wi-Fi, 5mp camera with Carl Zeiss optics, it's a double-slider with dedicated mp3 keys, it runs QuickOffice, has a powerful e-mail client, etc. etc. Unfortunately it doesn't make coffee, otherwise I would have already married it. Because let's face it, try as I may, I can't live without a Symbian phone. :D

My next one, oh, my next one... I am already drooling at the thought. My next one, and I never thought I'd see myself writing this, is going to be a Sony-Ericsson. The Satio, to be precise. Could it be more perfect? Finally. I've waited for years for a phone like this... and it's only 13mm thick.

:drool:
 
I have a Nokia E51 and it's honestly perfect for me. With the exception of web access and using the phone as a 3G modem, I don't really need any other features (which the phone has plenty of). So yeah, I couldn't be happier with it.

BigFoot, Hermiod is one of those ingenious guys we can thank for the fabulousness that is Symbian. ;)
