My current one,

Nextel,
work supplied it/pays for it.

It is larger than many phones,I don't care.It works great and is free.


Nextel 2 way Rocks.
 
Motorila V8162 with SprintPCS. It was the smallest phone I think ever made. It was a hell of a phone. Had it 3 years..phone didn't die, just swiched providers.
 
my Nokia 2280 🙂

tough as, survives the farm very nicely everytime i go down to work (and great reception, CDMA).

motorola T730, only cell phone i've ever had

going on 2 years now, i don't see a point in upgrading since this works fine ... maybe if it gets broken or something, i'll move on up

You must have gotten a lucky one...myself, my brother, and several of my co-workers had the T720/730 series and would have to get a new one every 3-4 months. They'd miss calls, sometimes the phone would shut off for no reason, not the greatest reception, battery life was horrid, and calls would drop faster than Jenna Jameson's panties! BAD phone!

I complained and got switched to a Nokia 3589i (I go through Verizon) and I would never get any other brand of phone. Ever. This thing is the bomb!

Who hasn't had a StarTac?

I had one and it really sucked. When you wrote a text message you couldn't access the phonebook to retrieve a number, so you had to go to the phone book, write down the number , create the text, then manually dial in the number to send it to.

Also, when it received a text, it only displayed the number and not the associated name!
 
Nokia 6230...
love my phone...

imported from Europe last year
now they sell here..

get one.. kicks the crap outa the razr
 
Current phone, Sharp TM150, good reception, awesome screen, 1 megapixil camera, it does look like ass though: Ugh

I want a PDA/cell in another generation or so though...
 
Sanyo 8100

The worst phone I had was my last samsung. It makes you think the service is crappy, but its really just the phone! Samsung phones suck, and the only people that stick up for them have only had Samsung!
 
Moto timeport- clear, and loud reception and good quality

I'm using V600, the reception is nowhere near the timeport being its on GSM. But I dropped the sucker on concrete for 10000000X and it still happen to function perfectly.
 
current phone
Audiovox SMT 5600 Windows Smartphone
With WMP 10 and a miniSD card, i can watch movies, tv shows, and listen to mp3s on the way to work.
along with of course numerous apps/programs.
 
Moto V60, a real cell phone w/o all the crap they have today. worked great, but ATT at the time was a bit expensive.
 
I would also have to vote for my old StarTac. I still have but it has been retired for some time.

Currently own an i730 - Nextel. Great phone.
 
Sprint Touchpoint

that thing was like a tank, it fit in my hand great, and the menu system was second to none. the screen was also huge, and i never used to accidentally call people w/ that phone in my pocket. unlike phones now that a feathers touch will activate a phone...
 
StarTac

Still using it. My boss keeps offering to upgrade but none of the current phones has the analog reach of the StarTac and I spend alot of time in the sticks.
 
I just recently got my first phone. It?s a Sony Ericsson z550. So far I like it. I think for the most part I get good reception. Inside our building it works while other people have to walk outside to use their phone so I'm happy.
 
my nokia 8390 was a tank. I couldn't even tell you the hell I put that phone through and it still works great...but the ringer is muffled now. I've had 8 nokias in my lifetime and will continue to buy them as time moves on.
