I would love it. I've been meaning to swap over to the XT network for a while (from Vodafone) this would be the perfect time.

My son took my first mobile phone.Undecided
 
I developed all the original (award winning) mobile weather content on the Vodafone Live service without a phone, the marketing manager took it and I had to borrow it from him to test my apps.
Then he got a better one and I managed to lever the old one off him, and I have subsequently subsisted off second hand phones in the same vein.

Nokia 1200I currently have a basic little phone (Nokia 1200, top features listed are: dust proof, torch ...) that Vodafone gave my son when he signed up for a new account - he already had a much better one.

I'm supposed to be designing some more mobile apps and I'm particularly keen to try developing some apps for Android. I have been looking for a suitable phone so this would be perfect. Cheers, Bruce.Laughing

I got a V3x from Vodafone for signing up to an On Account plan- it cost me nothing and I paid too much for it! lol

Been repaired once software wise, and the second time the only thing that wasn't replaced was the case and the keyboard!

I'm hoping that this phone will be a better one, especially if I win it! :D

Wow. I could really use a smart phone.


Here's what I currently have:

A 5 year old Sony Ericsson K700i with the following quirks:

1) It randomly calls/messages people in my address book. Locking it doesn't help and neither did a full reset. 
2) The joystick is really temperamental. The chances of being able to move the cursor right with it are about 60%, moving the cursor down, about 50% :)
3) The charger no longer plugs in properly - apparently its an electrical contact issue that has slightly improved after I cleaned the contacts. Charging the phone overnight is still a matter of chance
4) The paint has chipped off all over the place revealing the dull black and grey plastic underneath ( the phone was originally silver)

It is still functional as a phone though - the old faithful device that it is.

I've actually been looking at upgrading (out of necessity) to an Android device (out of choice - I would never buy an iphone because it is too limited) and had short listed the Milestone as a potential candidate.

I've had my trusty Touch Pro2 for a year now and just recently sold it.. then realised the phone I wanted perhaps isnt the one I want after all! Looks like I'll be phoneless from tomorrow when the new owner picks up their phone and I havent got anything new yet :(

Would be nice to win my first GZ competition with this Milestone :-)

Here's my TP2..  

HTC TP2




- Telstra HTC Touch Pro2 - Energy ROM WM6.5.5 20 Oct/Cyanogen Mod Froyo 2.2 - R.I.P
- AT&T Galaxy S Captivate 16GB on XT (now with brother)

- Business Hours - Work In The Electricity Industry, After Hours - DJ/Turntablist - Will Scratch Vinyl For Free'
- What's next??? S3?

My phone was just a bit better then carleeto's K700i, I had a Sony Ericsson K800i at the start of the year then dropped it at which point it turned into a blinking flashlight.

I took it apart to see if I could fix it (yeah right), pretty sure it still blinks if I put it back together.

Currently I have no phone, been waiting for the right time to get one, if I'm lucky this might be it? Tongue out
I use my iPod Touch as my phone now since most of the time I am in WiFi range, just hope the car doesn't brake down in transit, been lucky so far.

On the left my old K800i, on the right my iPod Touch 2nd generation.

This is my Samsung C5220.  After having this phone for a while its at that point where most things are starting to fail. it doesn't ring when im getting a call, the vibrate function died altogether a few months ago (after randomly working for quite a while) the memory has started to deteriorate or something because it holds less messages than it used to(and doesnt have an 'auto delete oldest message when a new one comes when the inbox is full' function) quite the typical 'i really need a new phone' symptoms

Thank god the oh so mighty 1.3 mega pixel Surprised camera still works for an extra entry! Laughing
Cmoooooon new Android phone!

I still have an old sanyo cdma telecom phone and even though it does me just fine i would love an upgrade.

An android phone would be perfect as i have just bought a cheap android tablet and i am in love with it :)

I have the Blackberry Bold 9000. Comes with one minor problem though - as it is a company supplied device I'm stuck with a rather draconian corporate policy that won't even allow me to sms. So a new device free of these shackles would be a nice.

I currently have the samsung GT-S8300T,  its just not what i want, the milestone would be great, nicer OS, a real keypad, Bigger screen, it trumps my current phone in every way.
