I currently switched phones from the Blackberry Pearl 8110 to the Blackberry Tour 9630 and I must say that it was a great switch! I love the new Tour and am finding it very easy to navigate around the menu. The graphics on this thing are amazing and the sound quality is also a definite plus. I used it today to access Sprint TV and the quality was great! What phone are you using and what are some of the reasons you love it (or hate it)?

I am using the I-Phone cant fault it at all, used to use blackberries as need a business phone but the I-Phone wipes the floor with any of the new hand-sets out there in my opinion.
I get to try all the new handsets as my mate has his own mobile shop and to be honest I just love the I-Phone,
so easy to use and the touch screen is so responsive also the app's are fab and a half decent camera too.
I also use it to watch sky sports on and its just like watching the tv in your home.

well I have the new 3gs variant now, but my old series 1 I-phone is 2 years old now and to be honest my mate has it now and it works like its new,
so I wouldnt worry about the reliability issue as their isnt any,
also the phone is now on other networks here in uk so hopefully won't be long before its on other networks in your country.

I believe that Apple's contract with AT&T should be over pretty soon. They are already in talks with Verizon, I believe. But for now, I am going to stick with Sprint and my Blackberry Tour. If, somehow, Sprint were to get the iPhone, I would definitely consider switching phones.

I wanted an iPhone very badly for quite some time. My nephew has one and I have used it several times just to see how I liked it. There are a few things that I didn't like about it like the fact that if it messes up the slightest bit, you have to send it in to Apple instead of taking it to a local cell shop or something. But that is fairly minor because I haven't heard of too many iPhones messing up the way some other phones do. But the thing I hate most about it is that it's available only with AT&T right now. I hate AT&T with a passion and just recently got tired of dealing with them after 5+ years and switched to Sprint.

I used to have a really sweet phone, the LG Rumour, but then my boyfriend kept pushing it in out too many times so the screen broke. :(. Now I have this ghetto Samsung Cleo, it's gold and looks like a make up compact. It's alright since it has a full keyboard, so it is easy to text on. I really don't like the phone so I haven't taken very good care of it, it's in pretty rough shape. I really want a new phone.

The LG Rumour is a good phone. Several of my friends and family have them and they seem to love it. I never really liked the style of it though. I guess I always felt like I was going to break it when I slid it out and everything. The thing I like about the Blackberry Tour is the full keyboard because I do love text messaging all the time.

I have a Nokia 5310 Express Music. It's pretty low tech compared to your Blackberry :) I don't have Wi-Fi access on my phone and I use it for its most basic purposes: making and answering calls, and sending, receiving SMS. It's good enough for me and I especially like its slick, thin built and yet sturdy enough to be intact even though I often put it in my back pocket and sit on it. It also has a long battery life so it's pretty energy efficient :)

I like the Nokia phones a lot...they have definitely come a long way with their technology. Of course, I guess most phone companies have. I use my Blackberry a lot when it comes to text messaging. That's usually how I talk with my wife and other friends and family while I am at work during the day. We have unlimited texting, so anytime we can text instead of call, we do. It's also good to have a sturdy phone. My phones usually go through a lot of wear and tear so sturdiness is very important to me. I take it everywhere with me.

I like playing music and television on my Blackberry...the quality is awesome! Not what I expected from a cell phone. But they don't call them smart phones for nothing. The Blackberry phones are great at a multitude of things and are very reasonably priced now. Mine is a phone that can be used globally without any problem and it was less than $100. The only thing that hurts is when you have a wireless service provider that charges around $30 extra each month for a data plan just for Blackberry phones. I am with Sprint and I love them because the Everything Data plan includes Blackberry service for however many Blackberry phones you have on the plan.

I currently using Sony Ericsson G700 and it is almost 2 years after it was bought. No major problem even though I dropped it a lot of times. It was like I don't have to change phone coz with it I can text anywhere I want without worrying being theft. Its keypad prints are almost gone that is why it is not sparkling in the eyes of thieves :D Anyway I know what to press and I dont plan on changing my keypads :D

Glad to hear that you haven't really had any problems with the Sony Ericsson. It's a pretty durable phone which, if you are anything like me, is a must. I am constantly on the go for work and personal business and my phone goes with me everywhere I go. I remember dropping my Blackberry Pearl more times than I could even begin to count and was afraid that it would break. I know the way I use and abuse cell phones, so as soon as I purchased the new Tour, I made sure to get a protective case and holster to help prevent damage and dropping.

I am currently using the blackberry curve 8330. I LOVE IT. Blackberry is so easy to navigate and use and I love the email feature. Being able to access my email on the go and respond to it is such an awesome feature. The big screen is a plus, as I have bad vision and the full size keyboard makes my typing emails and text messages extra easy!! I will continue to purchase blackberry products!

I love the Blackberry Curve too! I got that phone for my wife as a Christmas present (although I already gave it to her) and she loves it! She had been wanting a phone to use where she could check her e-mail and Facebook and that sort of thing when we were away from home. She also likes that she can have music on it. The only thing I can't get used to on the Curve is the keyboard. I don't know what it is about the keys but I find it hard to use them sometimes.

I'm using blackberry 9700. I bought it about a week ago & I like it. I used to have pearl 8120 but unfortunately I broke it. Because of the changes in my poistion at work, I needed a phone with email & internet access. There was a time for a while when I didn't need it but I'm back on the road again so I picked up a new one. It's a lot faster than the pearl I had & has better camera. It also has bigger on-board memory & it can handle bigger memory card, 32gig instead of 4gig although I'm currently using 8gig. I don't watch tv or listen to music or even listen to music. I only use it to access things I need like calling, messagings & internet. For some reason, I don't like using my phone for tv & music.

I have never used the Blackberry 9700, and haven't even seen one in stores before, but have seen them online. I have, however, used the Blackberry Pearl and love it! I loved the smartphone technology in the Pearl and the wide variety of applications for the phone. My only complaint with the Pearl is that it seemed fragile in some instances. I usually felt like I was going to break it. The thing I like about the Blackberry Tour is the fact that it is extremely stylish and practical, but it is also durable. I do agree with you for tv on the phone, although I believe it could really be addicting. I do use the music feature on my Tour though and I am impressed by the awesome sound quality.

I am using an LG enVTouch, and I like it. I do access the internet with it, but I am limited as it doesn't have a flash player nor does it have java. It has lots of great features and I haen't used all of them, but I have used some of hem, and should I ever choose to use them, they are there. I really wish it had a flas player and java, but I deal with it nonetheless. I just got the phone in Augst of this year so it will be awhile before I can change phones again. I wish I had waited and got a different one, but I will have to deal with it for now. I think the next phone I get will be a smartphone, or a windows mobile phone. Take care and happy mylotting.

I like the LG phones and he enVTouch in particular. I have looked at it and played around with it in Best Buy. I understand about the flash player and java. You would think that if a phone had the capability to go online, the manufacturer would at least include those two things on the phone in order to make web navigation much easier. I love my Blackberry smart phone. It is the second one that I have owned and I don't think I will ever go back to not having a smartphone.

It has lots of things, blue tooth, infrared, internet, MMS, Sms, java I can even attach it with a printer to get prints right from my cell phone. But nowadays I am seriously thinking of changing it with a bluberry or I phone the only issue is they are a bit expensive for me :(

I'm using Nokia now and I've used Nokia for more than 5 years. The type of Nokia I'm using is 6300 and the function of this phone is enough for me. I keep using Nokia bacause it's quality is high and it's price is cheap. It's very fit for me.

I have a Nokia, it makes phone calls and sends SMS messages I'm a technophobe so I plan to keep my basic phone, I'd run a mile from a blackberry.

I'm using Sony Ericsson K618i. This phone is really great but simple. The media player in this phone is great. The graphics is okay. The camera is 2 mega pixels. The internal memory is enough, only 17MB if I'm not wrong. But, I can add external memory if I want more memory. Love my phone. I bought this phone 3 years ago and I can still use it!
