Actually, i have an iphone that has no data plan, i got it used from a friend. I have verizon through a family plan, so it is cheaper that way for me.

i have had pretty good luck with the omnias camera not sucking. its versatile, easy to use and can give really good quality. the effects are plain, but they do work well. overall, its a good 5mp camera.

overall, i like the onmia so far. pretty decent phone once you mod it a bit to fit your own styles.

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

This.

HTC Touch Diamond 8/10 (with the right ROM)
This is a Windows Mobile phone and is capable of doing everything that an IPhone does. My biggest complaint at the moment is that I'd prefer a larger screen and am hoping I can upgrade to the Diamond2 or Touch Pro2 when they're available. I'm currently using EnergyROM 'Warhawk' by NRGZ28 and this ROM makes it feel like a completely different phone. It's super responsive and loaded with useful apps.

Sprint 7/10
I haven't had any problems with their service and it's cheaper than Verizon and AT&T. My only complaint is that I missed out on the SERO plan that people are bragging about.

Sold the Diamond for $90. Upgraded to the Touch Pro 2 - still on Sprint.
I'd give the Touch Pro 2 a 9/10.
After living with the TP2 for a week I have to lower my initial score on the Diamond from 8/10 to 6/10. I'm realizing how the smaller screen of the Diamond limited my full enjoyment of Internet browsing.

I haven been using the TP2 for about a week now and I love it as well. Huge upgrade from My instinct. Id give it about a 8/10. If we get the windows mobile upgrade v6.5 and we get flash that will boost it to a 9. And then if pandora supports the TP2 it will again boost it to just about 10.

blackberry world edition (8830?) - don't really like the keypad as much as say a curve. Wish it was faster in terms of internet, and it didn't use the stupid pearl ball instead of the sidewheel jazz. I wish it had a camera sometimes for mms.

Overall though I'm pretty happy with it despite the fact that it's starting to age.

Phone - Treo 800w (8/10)
I have to reboot the thing every now and then, there is no reset button so I have to take the battery out. Kind of a pain. Everything else works very well, though I wish the screen would be a little bit brighter. The Treo Pro looks cooler but is the same phone under the hood. I'll likely keep this phone for some time.

Service - Sprint (9/10)
I've been with Spring for a decade now, and they have always treated me well. I'm on SERO and my bill is $35 a month after taxes with unlimited texting and internet included. As long as SERO works (and stays grandfathered) with the Treo line, I have no plans of switching to any other smartphone. Sprint coverage is very good, especially when I travel.
