iPhone 3G - 9
AT&T - 3

Love everything about the phone. Only complaints are Apples App store review process, and the phone is getting a bit slow now that I have so much loaded on it. (3GS is crazy fast).

Reason why I rated the phone low was because surfing on the net sucks with it. Plus the (ball) scroll doesn't work well. If I could get an iPhone 3G for Sprint, I would.

Well the Pearl isn't really that great of a phone to begin with. The BB Tour or hell even the Curve is better than the Pearl. Palm Pre has great surfing but of course it's expensive.

I had a LG Vu for a little while, and it's seriously one of the worst phones I've ever used.

Why? The touchscreen sucked. Unresponsive as hell. Trying to dial a number on this phone is an excercise of frustration. Ugh.

I have a Samsung a767 propel. Nice phone. i admittedly don't text, but it's a nice solid phone with pretty good battery life, and ultimately, that's all I ask for.

edit: i give the propel a 7.5/10

My ball works perfect and I've used it non-stop for over a year now.

My dark blue Pearl knows that it has me wrapped around its little....ball.... :p
Hmmm. I have the dark blue one. It mainly unresponsive when I want to scroll down.

:(

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

I now have a BB curve, which I give a 4/10. But I had the Palm Centro and Palm 700p before it and I loved it, but couldn't give it more than a 7/10 either because of what you mentioned.

My ideal phone would be a sleeker, faster Palm 700p with a better UI.

Sprint Mogul - 7/10
Been a pretty decent phone for something that's over 2 years old.

Verizon - 9/10. Never given me much trouble. Great service area. Very few, if any, dropped calls.

I went thru 3 RAZR's. It was the biggest pile of crap I ever owned, cell-phone wise. I will never buy another Motorola phone again.

Guess I got lucky. I don't really like the design that much but it hasn't given me any problems either. I am looking forward to replacing it, though, and I want to get a non-Moto phone when I do so.

Virgin Mobile Shuttle

9/10

Great phone. My only problem is the speakerphone button.

Virgin mobile seems to think it is still 1999 though, so any advanced features you can use (Opera mini, google maps) cost way too much. But, that is not the phones fault.

You can overclock. In fact I think I saw a very recent article saying the new Hero will have slightly better overclocking abilities. But of course it sucks up your battery.

Dont know what to say about the camera. I am still amazed people actually take a cellphone camera seriously. They suck. They are supposed to suck. It wont change any time soon.

iPhone 3G 16GB.

8.5 for phone

-100000 for AT&T

If my company didn't pay for it I'd get rid of it no questions now. I thought I could put up with AT&T after having Verizon before that but holy shit are they seriously the worst fucking cell phone company I've ever used.

Sprint has better call quality and reliability than them.

Palm Treo Pro - 8.5

My Treo Pro is excellent... i just wish the buttons were slightly larger. :p I've previously had a Treo 680 and AT&T Tilt (aka HTC Tytn II), and the Treo Pro is definitely better. Briefly used a Samsung Epix, and wanted to smack an engineer every time I used it.

AT&T - 7.0

AT&T's service, in my area at least, is excellent. I fault them 3 points due to their high prices.

iPhone 3GS 9/10 - Like a night/day difference from the 3G I used to have. Soooo much more usable with speed increase, the 3G would just piss me off all the time when it lagged.

Nokia E71 8/10 - Awesome durability, good reception, good battery life but the Symbian UI is so out dated...

AT&T 8/10 - I live in the Chicago suburbs so coverage isn't an issue for me so I can't complain. If your coverage is good with AT&T it actually works pretty well surprise, surprise. I am an employee with 50% off my monthly bill so price isn't an issue either, if I wasn't the score would probably drop to 7 or so.
