What kind of cell phone do you have and on a scale from 1 (hate it) to 10 (LOVE it!) how happy are you with it?

I have an old Samsung. It doesn't have a touch screen, any apps or do anything fancy but it takes care of the basics. 6/10, no major problems.

LG Chocolate VX8550. I would give it a 5/10 because the scroll wheel sucks, touch buttons suck, but at least it makes phone calls.

Samsung A737

8/10 - The thing is a tank... I've dropped it tons of times and it still works as good as the day I got it. Also, it can send/receive texts and calls, and it does everything I need. The only problem is that the reception is pretty bad in a lot of places.

Sprint Palm Centro
7/10

Would be 10/10 if it could run multiple applications simultaneously and if it didn't randomly freeze up so fking often.

I have a Pantech Matrix.

I'd give it a 8/10 based on how I use it.

My son has one as well... and it's taken alot of abuse... it even survived 30 minutes in a puddle of water last winter.... it didn't, however, survive being run over by a car. (although it did still receive calls and you could converse over it... there was no way you were going to make a call from it though.. lol)

Blackberry World Edition

I'd give it a 7/10. It's not going to be one of my favorites but it's a reasonably capable phone. I'd love to have a different blackberry like the curve or tour mainly cause I like those keyboards better. I wouldn't mind an iphone but I still hate the keyboard even with the landscape orientation option being available in more places.

Nice interface, great apps, does anything I want it to. Crappy camera....

Good coverage around here, even 3G. Horrible customer service

Palm Pre 8.5/10

Great phone. Multitasking is awesome. Biggest selling point for me was true multitasking. Tons of great features. Keyboard is kind of on the small side for my fat fingers but worlds better than any virtual keyboard I've used. Touch interface is great. Only thing is that I always drop my phones and sliding phones never last long with me and no expandable memory. Work phone.

Nokia E51 8/10

Awesome build quality. I drop this thing all the time and it still looks new. This phone can take a lot of damage and still work great. Keys are super solid and it's tiny as hell with Wifi. Screen is small but it's a small phone but it looks crisp. It's very small so it fits everywhere but still has all the phone features one could want. Symbian is so much better than Windows mobile. Have an 8GD SD card and I love having a phone with expandable memory. Personal phone.

Motorola Q9C - Sprint Sero

7/10

Pros:

Free GPS with Google Maps
Threaded SMS (but this is standard now)
Call quality is very clear.
Fattest keys ever. So nice to type on.
Extended battery actually makes phone feel better.
Windows Mobile 6.1
It's not an iPhone.

Cons:

Windows Mobile 6.1 - Functional but slow. Only has 48 megs of ram on startup.
Does not have standard headphone jack.
This is my second Q and it has the same problem as the first:
Dust gathers under the screen. Manufacturer defect. I can't seal the phone without voiding the warranty.
Browser sucks, SkyFire has lost its flair.
No touch screen, not really a con, its a smart phone, but the Pre is making this look dated.
It's not an iPhone.
