Which mobile phone are you using?
 
I am using Nokia N85, quite an old model, but it has AGPS, Wifi, 3G, 5MP camera, Radio etc.

At this moment I do not need to change it, because mobile phone in Malaysia is quite expensive.

Many people are crazy for iPhone, are you?

I've got an old Motorola c168i dumb-phone. It doesn't do much, but calling and texting are all I need in a phone. For other stuff, I have an Amazon Kindle Fire tablet and a laptop computer.

I am thinking of buying A Samsung Galaxy S II

Htc Hd2, originally came with Windows mobile 6.5, has been flashed with Windows phone 7, (i love wp7 interface). Recently has screwed up though and will freeze while attempting to boot so i'm going to flash android onto it tomorrow or one day soon. Recently have fallen inlove with the Xperia play though after realizing it's retro gaming potential, and my girlfriend happens to have one she doesn't want, so once i can get that unlocked, i'm pretty sure i'll ditch the htc hd2.

Couldn't you put it in General so Tiger can't boost his post count by creating and replying to his own ridiculous threads all the time ;)

Do you think Nokia will one day gain back 40% market share as last time, globally?

rich_c 12-28-2011 02:41 AM

Nokia N900. Thinking of getting a Motorola Razr next although I'll miss my trusty '900!

FredGSanford 12-28-2011 04:10 AM

An LG Saber. A pretty nice phone to talk and text with a qwerty keyboard...

blue_print 12-28-2011 07:03 AM

I have Nokia 900 and I'm perfectly good with it. It does not have much applications like Android. But it has applications what we need most for chatting, social networking, and some other linux related stuffs.

WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL AND FRUITFUL HAPPY NEW YEAR

Nokia E71. Got it because I like to have a qwerty keyboard and didn't want to have to pay an extra £5 a month for Blackberry push I wouldn't need. It's always been buggy but I like it and it does what I need it to (email, web browsing, phone/text, PuTTY if/when required).
That said, I hope some time next year I'll be able to afford an Android phone so I can play with things like remote control apps and possibly even try to write a very simple app myself.
I like a real keyboard but the fact the new Motorola Razr is water resistant means it could be on the list.

foottuns 12-28-2011 08:17 AM

Samsung Galaxy S2, best on the market at the moment..:)

TigerLinux 12-29-2011 05:42 PM

Samsung Galaxy Note is better

inspiron_Droid 12-29-2011 06:06 PM

How? Why? What proof do you have of this or is it JUST your own opinion? or have you done this to add yet another post to your post count?

segmentation_fault 12-30-2011 08:24 AM

Nokia C3-00 : wifi, qwerty keyboard, 7-10 days between recharging the battery and just a little over 100 euros.

scorpioz22 12-30-2011 03:17 PM

Have BB Torch. IMO BB mail handling is second to none but I'm thinking of going back to an Android phone (prefer it for browsing the internet)

brianL 12-31-2011 04:15 AM

Nokia C1-01, and Nokia N900 (used only as a mini-computer).
P.S.
Be careful buying an iPhone 4S:

HTC Desire S ---- does more than I'd ever need it to. So far ....

spudgunner 12-31-2011 12:01 PM

(Samsung) Google Nexus S - and I've switched ROMs a few times.

phil555 01-01-2012 08:19 PM

I have a Samsung Admire it's a decent phone.

If I had the money I would have bought either the Samsung Galaxy S II or Google Nexxus S

I would have gotten any of those two phones but the provider wanted a two year contract. I'm not a big fan of buying a phone with a contract. I prefer no contract or unlocked phones.

I'm with Koodo in Canada was was fortunate enough to have built up a good chunk of credit on my 'tab' (they calculate 10% of each bill and add it to the 'tab' as free money, so you can dip in -$150 to buy a phone and accumulate up to +$150 in credit, the only 'contract' is that if you decided to quit them you have to pay off the remainder of your 'tab' if it is a negative balance, otherwise you just tell them to stop billing you and they cut you off) since I bought my first phone (cheap flip phone) outright. So I managed to knock off nearly half the price of the phone.

im using HTC Desire Z, main reason was "hardware" keyboard, my first smartphone and im very pleased with it.

edit: pricetag was 350e, pretty much for a phone but it has been worth it. phonebill is about 15-20e month with unlimited data.
edit2: only negative thing that i can think off is battery life, irc, net surfing and sometimes movie watching eats the battery radically.

magiknight 01-04-2012 06:04 AM

HTC Google Nexus One. :) I refuse to get rid of it. It is my Excalibur. The phone to rule them all. :)
