My employers just got me a Blackberry 8830. The web browsing is functional, but not great. Having real time access to my work and personal email is really great though.

Gots me a Nokia N95. They practically paid me to have the phone on contract because i've been with my supplier for years and years.

Got it the day of launch for £50 with a £30 tariff for unlimited sms. (i'm a text whore). Best thing about it, they were offering £100 rebate if I hand in ANY phone. I gave them a Nokia 3300 that didn't work. Score! 2 and 3 quarters worth of line rental for nothing :)

I love the phone personally. Don't know why everyone complains about it. It's ace having wifi access, especially when i'm near the university access point and i'm doing the pub quiz. This thing has earned me no end of booze this year.

Plus having it synced up to iCal on my mac, it basically runs my life. I have my next memo/meeting come up on my front screen so I always know what I gotta do next and where, I can fire up the GPS to see how long it will take me to get there.

Battery life is pretty decent, lasts about 2/3 days between charges when i'm using it a lot. Now that i'm not using it so often (both me and my fiancée haven't got much work on right now). I can go about a week without charging it. (I don't use vibrate and have the screen brightness setting at it's lowest)

I have a Samsung T509-S for T-Mobile. The phone is super-reliable as I dropped it in a puddle and it stayed there (not fully immersed, only about half) for about 2 hours while I was at class, I quickly turned it off once I was back at my car, let it completely dry out and it still works! Samsung in the future for me...

I have an O2 XDA IIs, a British version of the HTC Blue Angel. It is pefect for emulators, it was the first way I completed Chrono Trigger, although it can't do sound very well. At the moment I have emulators for NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, Master System, Mega Drive, Turbo Grafx and Game Gear. Got the fullset of NES games at the moment, and the best of the rest, i.e Mario/Sonic/Zelda etc.

the plum! i had this for a very long time and loved it, most reliable phone ever. its only downfall was the charger port didn't really lend to easy insertion of the charger cable, and after a while the connectors on the inside just broke, thus keeping the battery from being able to charge, effectively killing the phone. same thing happened to my son's mother's t509s. kind of a bummer because i really liked that phone.

i know have the t-519, the trace. it's thin! i back all samsung phones.

Currently, a piece of shit Verizon Motorola phone from 2 years ago. Works well enough, but clunky as hell. Hopefully next week it will be a new 3G iPhone. :)

I use an LG VX-8550, otherwise known as the new Chocolate. It's a pretty decent phone, although I don't like it nearly as much as my previous phone, the Motorola E815. Still, I can play Metal Gear Solid Mobile on my Chocolate, as well as numerous other excellent games, so it serves me well for the same reason that I purchased my E815.

I gotta brick, i355 -that I love! No camera, no blue tooth but I can install Opera and games for free.

I'm very hard on my phones and hate flips. I was with Nextel that does not offer a lot of phones, but now that they are Sprint I can get a i335. Still hard as nails but less Fisher-Price.

3 year old phone....AudioVox or something. Nothing particularly special. Cost $99 I think. I'll replace it when the battery finally gives out. No need for anything else.

I have prepaid with VriginMobile. Need to put $20 on the phone every 3 months which works out to something like $7 or so a month. Works out for me, I don't like spending hours on the phone like some people. Texting rate is reasonably the few times I use it.
