Blackberry's are shocking, your right in saying Iphones are the best.
Not sure about their new OS's but when Nokia was using Symbian, reliable isn't the word I'd use to describe them....
I also forgot a few Sony Ericsson phones, I was an SE fanboy for quite a while and I changed my mind my FAVOURITE phone was the Sony Ericsson T610
Had a T610, W800i, C902 and C905. Then iPhone came out and Sony Ericsson tried to keep up with it with their Xperia Range. **** Woeful.

It's strange, I can't remember any of my previous phones. I had one slide phone as my first one (a Motorola maybe?), then I had a flip phone. I think I maybe had another one in between that and my current phone, but I can't remember! I'm amazed how people are remembering their past phones in this much detail!
Anyway, my current one is a Nokia 2330c:
It's done really really well. It's pretty battered, but still works. I do want an upgrade though, I think I'll have something cheap in America, then when I move back get an upgrade to something a bit more modern. Don't get me wrong, I love this phone, but it's pretty outdated. :lol:

^I don't. I understand how fantastically configurable it is and the power in the different hardware and interface options - it's a tinkerers phone though. You can endlessly play with it to make it exactly what you want, but like a PC, you lose stability. There are problems with Android phones just going odd for no reason (likely to be an incompatibility between either hardware and OS or apps) and it's almost impossible to trace.
The built in Android software sucks too. I've spent two weeks trying to get three Android devices to sync with my Exchange server. They all just suddenly stopped so I assumed it was the Exchange at fault. I've completely rebuilt Exchange, my firewall and IIS and it still doesn't work. Oh, it's actually a fault with the Android mail client - use an alternative one and you're fine. It's great that I have the flexibility to replace the built in email client seamlessly, but I shouldn't have to - in the same way it's great to be able to spend hours reconfiguring the phone to make it speedy and to make it usable, but it should come like that out of the box.
Madame_Furie had one of those. I loved the design and the functionality of the phone was fantastic, but it was completely impossible to use because the keypad was just hideous.

I don't use it for e-mails or in a buisness situation or what ever so I can't praise or fault it in that respect. Then again I'm just assuming that where you were using them in for some reason. I dunno.
Basically my android is for browsing the internets and facebook when out about ontop of a form of contact. So yeah, I'm a woman with a laptop minus the 50,000 tool bars and cute virus riddled cursors cause you can't get them on there. I don't really have the need or drive to go out and splooge on an iPhone to discover I wasn't really living. Also Android has that little robo alien thing :3

Started off with some kind of old nokia which I had for a year or so.
Then got the Motorola SLVR red:
Great phone. Lasted me for about 4 years and I still miss the Monopoly game I had on it. Only got rid of it because the keys were coming off and it went through the washing machine and got water under the screen.
Next up was another Nokia, this time a slide but can't remember what type. Lasted me a good year or so until it broke due to forgotten reasons, possibly keys coming off.
After that was a LG Cookie Fresh:
Good phone. Lasted me for another year or so. This one managed to fall out my pocket on one of the rides at Tir Prince. Some chavs then found it and tried to sell it back to me. I gave up on that phone and got the phone I have now, the Samsung Tocco Lite:
This has lasted me so far for about 1 1/2 years and has worked perfectly for the whole of that. Found now since I got it, almost everyone else has one. There is good reasons for it to be so popular. Relativly cheap, essentially a smart phone, comes with a free 1GB memory card and is generally very good.

Well, even though my age is quite young, my first ever mobile phone was a Phillips BT Cellnet when I was about 6 or 7. I don't remember it much, but it was just as mobile phones started getting 'good' so my phone got very outdated soon, and as a 6/7 year old, what use did I realistically have for it anyway:
I didn't have a phone for a few years, then I bought myself the most amazing phone EVER when I was in Year 7 which got me substantial attention at school as it was so 'modern' and unique': Nokia 3300. FAB phone <3
Then I went a few years without a phone once again, and got a peice'o'**** Samsung E1120 or something or other a few years back for a tenner. Itw as very durable, and survived being thrown out of Colossus, chucked out of windows, thrown about at school and even a trip in the washing bowl while washing up. But it was basic, and crap, but I was happy with it.
And a month or so ago I invested in an iPhone 4. It's ok, I guess, good for internet browsing, apps and all that jazz, but I'd happily go back to a Nokia 3300 any day <3
