A 5 years old Alcatel because I only use my cell phone to speak with people, I don't need a PDA.
Its only disadvantage is its thickness.

Right now, I've got an Audiovox 8910 w/Virgin Mobile prepaid service. Gonna switch later next week to Cingular and a Razr Silver.

Motorola E815 on Verizon.

I was just looking for the phone with the best reception on Verizon. The V710 is supposed to have a lot of bugs, so I picked the E815 and I've been happy.

Motoroa i730 for Nextel.

Because I found it after rebate for negative 175 dollars, and we bought 2.

Making 350 bucks off of buying some phones aint a bad deal.

SE T610 because it was free and small. now that the buttons are starting to get worse but it's still small enough to fit in my jeans' change pocket.

You sound just like ME =). I got a V600 for free in August 2004 with T-Mobile. My contract expired this August and I switched to a K750i. Great choice.

I just met up with my friend who got his W800i a week ago and we were comparing. Heh. Both very nice phones. I do wish I had the headphone adapter though.. =(. I bought one off ebay and it sucks in quality. I used it with my Fontopias (MDR-EX71s) and compared it to my friend's HPM-70s from the W800i (same headphones), but apparently my adapter causes a problem with the audio channels. =(.

LoL. I had that choice too but I think the phone is too big.. K750i is just incredibly small for what it delivers. I was seriously wowed by the size. I had a V600 in the other hand and the weight and size d ifference w as amazing. Then my friend who's probably one of the dumbest phone guys in the world whips out his V710 which is just a huge monstrosity and im like yea.. look at how this new tiny phone owns yours....

I honestly think the K750i is the best deal phone right now. You can probably pick it up for $150 if you want a new number/new acct with T-Mobile. I got mine for $100 + tax only because I was with 3 other friends whow ere activating too and the store knows me =P

Unlocked Nokia 6230. It bitchslaps all other phones in the feature department, and the battery life is in credible.

I now carry three...

THE RAREST: Motorola A780 Linux-powered smartphone with touchscreen, 1.2Mpix camera, bluetooth, quadband GSM unlocked, from Hong Kong - the one I keep on my hip 24x7

THE MOST CONNECTED: RIM Blackberry 7320 just for corporate email and schedule

THE MOST PRACTICAL: Nokia 6210 - small, light, bluetooth, endless battery - what to use when you want something small in your pocket
