edit:

Perhaps if we list pro's con's of having the phone this might be of some use to discuss?

Agreed.

My Samsung M610 is extremely thin (thinner then the RAZR) has a huge screen (bigger then the RAZR) and has more options then the RAZR. Although everyone i know with a RAZR refuse to admit it... :lol:

My package was awesome to, Unlimited internet, Unlimited Texts and unlimited Calls with 10 pickable people which i can change at any time :D

No cell phone, Canadian cell phone providers suck, so until they become competitive with European providers, I refuse to pay more money for sub-par service.

Extremely crappy T-Mobile generic cheap one. So generic that Google has decided not to list it. At least 6 others in my class has the same type of phone.

I just bought the motorola razr v8, and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. I had the razr v3 a while back, and that was actually better! Sony Ericsson will definately be my next choice.

A free Sony Ercisson K-630i. I think...

Decent phone, with MP3 playback capability (nice), and a 2.0 megapixel camera (crappy, but which I never touch anyways).

Razr V3m. It's kinda meh. Good voice quality, worthless for music playback, so-so battery life, but small & easy to carry.

My 2 years of bondage to Verizon end this summer... I'll probably just hang onto the Razr until the updated iPhone comes out.

My cell phone is the best of them all. Light, unlimited battery life, excellent voice quality, and all the features you can imagine. It is called my voice and face to face conversation.

I recently got n95 8gb

http://img.gsmarena.com/vv/bigpic/nokia-n95-8gb.gif (http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n95_8gb-2088.php)

It's quite packed with features (good camera, good connectivity, media features etc.) and it has some interesting applications as well.


Nokia Sports Tracker (http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/SportsTracker/) is a GPS based activity tracker that runs on S60 smartphones. Information such as speed, distance and time are automatically stored to your training diary. To be able to use application for real, you need Nokia S60 3.0 or 3.1 phone with Bluetooth GPS device or Nokia S60 3.0 or 3.1 phone with integrated GPS.

Thats really cool, as it tracks movement and calculates distance travelled, amount of kcals burned etc. It's possible import the route to google earth, application itself does not have map support yet.

From now on i will turn this thing on whenever i go to bar, no more totally lost hours spend walking on weird places - now i can later check where i was wandering ;) (unless i lose the phone, that is..).

Battery life is quite sucky, but i can live with that.

I have a U880 from LG. The main problem that iI have with it is that it is not that sturdy and as a result of my drooping numerous times, one of the sides of the flip top is broken so I need to be careful with it. Apart from that, I have no problems with it, and the cause of my problems are my stupidity, but I will mke sure that the next phone is not a flip top one. IT is certainly better than my previous phone. which is why I like it.

Heh, I remember when I was on 1st grade, the big boys were proud when they had a cell phone like Nokia 5110 or 3210. :D

Nokia 6151 is mine. You can call and send text messages with it, those are the most important things in it.

I had some cheap POS w/ a pay per minute plan (10cents a minute, no monthly fee, usually $100 would last me about a year) but I lost it (only had about $18 left on it anyway so I wasn't too sad).

I probably won't get another celly cause the cons outweigh the pros. I'll probably get a Vonage account & make unlimited calls from home thru my cable modem.

whenever you believe in something it's apparently "cool" to accuse you of being on a bandwagon (fanboy).

How does everyone feel about flip-phones? I have owned one non-flip-phone and one flip-phone, and I don't think I'd ever want a non-flip-phone again. I don't like dialing things in my pocket, and there's something satisfying about ending a call by snapping shut the phone. You just don't get the same satisfaction from pushing a button.

Flip-phones are neat, but the problem is that sometimes the phone's hinge gets broken, so the upper part flips and flops up and down. Though then opening it is cooler, as you can just point with your flip-phone's lower part between your fingers to some place and the upper part opens like magic!

One girl in my class broke her flip-phone's hinge, the upper part was just hanging from a couple of cables/wires/whatever a phone has in it, it didn't look like a wire nor a cable, and it still worked as it did before. It looked cool. :D

I don't like flip phones because the part that flips might get broken and detached very easily. Also, you don't have to worry about accidentally dialing something using a candy bar - style phone, because they usually can be locked. (Just press menu + * keys on Nokia phones).

Don't like flip phones. They break easily & have crappy battery life compared to non-flippers.

I dropped my non-flipper from two 2nd floor in Borders & it bounced off the carpet, battery came out but phone was fine. :)

Geez, now I kinda miss it. :undecide:

I disagree. I've had some old Samsung flip phone for years now... Its old and deteriorated now, but its never broken, it even survived being dropped in soup once. You can buy seperate batteries for pretty cheap nowadays... I got some cheapy lithium battery that usually last around 5 days without being charged, and its all over 3 years old.

Overall though the only thing that matters to me is that it dials numbers, and doesn't take pictures of my pocket.

Just my subjective opinion, perhaps skewed since my GF's "Razr" has such short battery life.

Compared to my Samsung M610

Which is another reason why it's better then the Razr.

Cingular 8525 for me (HTC Hermes is the base, most carriers re-packed/skinned and renamed it to something else). I wasn't quite patient enough to wait on the i-Phone at the time, and needed something that could do Word & Excel so that I can do work from my office/lab/classes (whatever I want) on my phone instead of also carrying around a PDA.

Sony Ericsson z520a (2006). Flip phone.

Advantages:
*Can take a beating. I don't know how many times I've dropped it, including on hard surfaces, and it's just a bit scratched up. The battery is a bit beat up from collisions with the ground as well, but still works fine.
*Very good battery life. Lasts more than a week in light use and more than eight hours talking. Also recharges quickly - more than 1% per minute.
*Can take pictures and video and sound recordings
*Can text/Internet, except that it costs money so I don't take advantage of that
*Bluetooth/Infrared transfer options for photos and sounds - which means I can upload my photos for free and download ringtones (or whole songs) from my computer for free
*Works almost everywhere in the world

Disadvantages:
*Pictures are 640x480 max, and thus are kind of poor quality
*Only 32 MB memory so I can't store a whole lot on it. One or two mp3's max.
*Bluetooth isn't the fastest transfer method ever
*AT&T bought Cingular. I like Cingular better. Less shady government wiretapping dealings.

Would I get it again? Yes, if it were the time I bought it. But I don't know if I'll get AT&T again - I don't like them as a company much.
