Rokkaholik Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Technology is moving along so damn fast these days, keeping up with the Joneses is expensive. I know many people ALWAYS have to have the newest/trendiest stuff out there, while others prefer the "old reliable". I got into the Cell Phone thing around 2000 or so. After a few different phones, problems, deaths, and an auto mishap (phone/tire) I finally had stuck to Nokia. After many of their models, I'm still using the 6255i, which some of my co-workers think looks like a folding brick. Well... After seeing 4-5 of my coworkers returning their Razr's due to unexplainable and utter failures, and a few more having their new touch screen thingamajigs lock up, My 6255i is still going strong. B:) What do you use, and what have you had positive/negative experiences with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARandomOWL Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I used to have a Samsung D900i, extremely reliable. Now I have a Sony Ericsson W910i, not the most reliable phone ever, now & again it will restart for no reason but only like once a month.

Verran Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Motorola Q I like it. It's got a very sturdy feel too it. Not plastic-y like a lot of phones. Some people find it too large (specifically too wide), but I have big hands and it fits nicely in them. I personally like the thickness (or lack there-of). It's a little less than a half inch thick, I think. I find thick phones uncomfortable in my front pockets. I dislike the lack of a touch screen and some of the more PDA-style features, but I'm simply not willing to pay the extra few hundred dollars for them, so the compromise is acceptable for me.

Shadowfactor Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I really like Nokia's phone. I owned a Nokia 6682 before the Iphone 2G came out, it was wonderful I picked up an Iphone the first day they came out and have been in love with it ever since. There wonderful phones I picked up an Iphone 3G 16gb About 2 weeks ago, Just because the price was right and I had a $100 Dollar Apple Instore credit frm my first Iphone Iphone 2G Likes Email support Touch screen Ease of use Ipod Feature Full web browser Iphone 2G DisLikes Phone froze all the time Have to Use Itunes for everything No MMS Support No Copy and Paste Iphone 2G DisLikes Iphone 3G Advantages Everything from the Above list Phone hardly freezes GPS Chip Touch Screen seems to Work better Flush Headphone Jack Battery Charges Faster Iphone 3G Disadvantages Shorter Battery Life GPS Kills Battery life No turn by Turn guidance ( Like car GPS's) 3G is no faster than Edge ( from what I can tell) Poor 3G coverage ( 50% of time I'm on the EDGE network) Removed Firewire Charging Capabilities. Firewire charging capabilities refers to like anything that used the Firewire part of the charging port to charge the Iphone/Ipods Well apple removed this on the 3G Iphone so my car charger no longer will charge my Iphone since I moved to the Iphone 3G. Alot of accessories used the firewire portion Edited November 17, 2008 by Shadowfactor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Motorola Razr V3. It does the two things a cell phone is supposed to do: Send and recieve calls. That's all I ask. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_bowtie Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Motorola KRZR K1M soon to be replaced.... I have had the best luck with LG phones but decided to try motorola and this one has been a POS after about a years use...kills batteries and stuff works then it doesnt...just a really bad phone when it's on the fritz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Currently using an iPhone 3G and couldn't be happier I had the option, but chose the Omnia, as Windows Mobile has much more in terms of customisable software out there ready to go. I'm sure iPhone hacks are about too, but I just found WM to be a bit more useful for me The GF has an iPhone 3G, and it's nice. Shame that so much is lacking though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
