I have a Nokia N95, the music player on it is a dead loss as it has always had a bad hiss so I never use it. Probably the camera is the best part and maybe the gps system but a touch screen would be great as navigating around the screen with the keys is hard with my fat fat sausage like fingers and gaming is out of the question for the same reason. A new phone would be great but looking back at some of the posts it looks like some of the phones people have may be worse than mine!! Thinking back in the early 90's I thought I was the bees knees when I was walking around with one of these Motorola DynaTAC type phones that had a slimline battery and still felt like I was carrying around a small child in my pocket, it also had enough memory to hold 8 phone numbers which you could only assign a number to not a name see pic below. How things change..

I have an iPhone 3GS, but my wife is lumbered with an Sony Ericsson T300 (look it up and have a laugh). I'll get a lot of brownie points if I land her a shiny new smartphone. :)

My current phone... well err it is a Nokia, as for the model number it's worn off. As for the screen it's tiny and no colour :)

The great Win 7,  Iphone, Android shootout continues. I have heard that Android, can be a bit sluggish. But it hard to compare apple with apples (excuse pun) when the OS is on differnt handsets. Keen to test a Android phone.

Give it to me and I will give it a caring home where it will be treated equal. Some people say it's not natural but I say if they love each other why shouldn't they be allowed to live together. Maybe one day they'll adopt a little Windows 7 Phone.

I am in desperate need of a new phone - interestingly I have been looking at the motorola android phones.
I've just started a new business, and need a phone that works not only in town, but out in the rural area where I live.
The phone I want to replace was a great phone, however I have no reception where I live due to the antennae being chewed by my puppy (now 4 years).  It is a Palmone Treo 650 - I know - really old.  However it still works despite a few bite marks in the screen.  Great for taking notes at meetings.

I have a 4 yo daughter who likes to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse..  and therefore so do I :)  One episode they made a robot Goofy which does the Goofbot dance.  a very catchy tune which I cannot get out of my head..   having a proper Android would go along way to helping me regain what was left of my sanity and stop these voices in my head singing to me.

If anyone wants to start hearing the voices..  see  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir6qoeuEjGM&feature=related

I currently have a Samsung Vibrant (the T-Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy S with no front camera or FM Radio) which I love.  As an Android developer though, a second phone with a real hardware keyboard would be great for testing on Laughing

i've got a Nokia 2730c
you may be suprised that it has better sound quality than an Ipod Touch as far as music reproduction is concerned. (scientifically tested with $750 in ear monitors)

oh and it's my birthday on the 22nd.....Wink

I would give this to my dear wife who currently operates a steam powered Samsung on the CDMA network.

Battery life?  ZILCH

Phone reliability?  Just slightly above ZILCH

Usability?  Great - if you are a GEEK - what devil designed that menu layout?

Features?  What are those - phone calls are about it!

Please please please let my wife move out of the 90's......
