What kind of cellphone you got? And Why?

[psijac]

Like any major Religion, I don't dislike the Iphone. I dislike those that worship the Iphone and fill their hearts with hate in the Name of The One True Iphone.

I am ecstatically pleased I could entertain!

 

[The Political Gamer]

iPhone 3GS because it has everything I could ever want out of a phone, IE to many to count. :3

 

[RobCoxxy]

Samsung J700 cos it works and i'm not rich.

 

[The Vampire Alucard]

I have an LG Vu with TV [though didn't get it for the TV.] I got it because it looked neat and its different [touch screen ftw!] I really love it and it has a QWERTY keyboard and all. It's pretty sweet in my opinion ^.^

 

[DragonChi]

Motorola V360. its an old model...but fantastic and was hugely popular. when i lived in Vancouver, BC. nearly everyone i saw with a cellphone in passing had one.

 

[flare09]

A Sony Ericsson. Because I don't need a fancy flashy, hey look I can listen to music and download porn so I can watch it on a screen smaller than my palm phone.

 

[Darth Pope]

Env 2 because I can't use T9 to save my life, on the other hand I type about ninety words a minuet, so I bought it for it's keyboard.

 

[PersianLlama]

My cell phone can call, and that's all I need.

No clue what kind it is, some cheap crap that can call.

 

[XJ-0461]

I have an old one that I've had for about 3 years. The most advanced thing it can do is film a video. I'm really not complaining though, I don't need it to do anything more than call, text and occasionally take pictures.

 

[Clirck]

Sony Erikkson K810i because when I bought it the camera in it was over the top now it's completly average, so I bought it because of the camera.

 

[Nerdfury]

iPhone 3G, 8GB.

Why? Because after a couple of months of reading technical and user reviews, play-testing with people's phones, I finally decided it would suit me quite well. It does everything I need out of a phone, plus a heap of stuff I didn't know I'd find bloody useful.

I was once one of those sad bastards that got shitty about everyone and their cool phones by saying "If I need a camera, I'll use a camera! And if I need music, I've got my mp3 player! And if I want to play games, I've got a PSP/DS!" but then I realised I couldn't be arsed carrying around all this crap in my bag, so I slimmed down to the Nokia N95, which was a great little beast.

In the end, the iPhone was a natural choice. In retrospect, though, the camera could have been vastly improved.

How is it?
If I get a new phone, I was thinking of getting an iPhone.
OT: I have a Propel. The screen is scratched to hell and back, but it's still good.

Honestly, man? It's awesome. I read the arguments presented and it's the arguments that are flawed. I have never had an Apple product before this, except a brief dalliance with an iPod I borrowed for a trip (which failed to impress me), so I can say this with the utmost non-bias. I won't spend anything more than $200 or so on something unless I know that I am getting what I'm paying for, so I did several months of testing and playing before I committed, and it's the best phone related decision I ever made. It works brilliantly at everything it does, and the apps you can get do the rest to make a brilliant little device. Want to tune a guitar? App for it. Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or weight to lbs per square inch? App for it. Look at sexy Suicide Girls? App for it. Peggle? 3D God of War type game? Brain training? All there.

Personally, I would go the 3GS if you can afford it, but if not, the 3G is cheaper now and still brilliant. Also, I'm replying becuase you quoted me, which sends an email to my inbox - personally, I'd believe me over someone that trolls through iPhone posts waiting to spout hatred on the device.

Give it a go, man. Find a friend with one and have a play around with their iPhone.

Samsung Propel. I got it because 10 years of the free phone was enough.

You made some good points...but...is there lots of sexy girls?

About 12 or so! But seriously, man, don't listen to (or read?) the into the hate to make your decision. The iPhone is no more flawed than any other phone on the market, and those 'flaws' are generally limited to a low megapixel camera and that some apps (as a result of bad developer code, nothing to do with Apple, but the creators of the apps) are crap on the phone. I've yet to see any system, operating system or technical flaws, and some friends have had theirs since day one and had no issues whatsoever.

What I'm trying to say is there's thousands of phones out there, and the iPhone may not suit you, but work it out for yourself - don't let people who hate Steve Jobs or Apple colour your decision. People have missed so much in life because they let other people colour their decisions with personal hatred.

But hey, if you want to know anything about it from a happy iPhone owner, ask me here or PM me.
