Cellphones are just a necessity nowadays. Companies just expand, innovate, and just going at each other too keep up the race. Us, being the consumers has its own preference in owning one. Other people go with the features while others go for the looks. I myself prefer with the looks. This is the reason why I bought Samsung X510, not only that it has good looks but the price is really affordable. Its less than 100 dollars. For its features it now consist of a vga camera, infrared,etc. Not that much of a smart phone but it serves the purpose. Its clamshell and lightweight.

At this moment I have three cellphones. First is Palm Treo 680. It's running PalmOS. Second Palm Treo 750. Is running Windows Mobile 6 (WM6). Thirs one Sony Ericsson P990i, it's on Symbian.
I like PalmOS very much. Many software and program. Very fast respond time. Seldom hang or got problem. However PalmOS didn't support 3G. It's only run GPRS.
I'm using WM6 because majority of friends using this type of phone. It's slow. Not many application can be installed due to resources hungry.
Symbian (that I have) is the worse one. It's very slow, however it's 3G.

I currently own a Nokia N95. I've been using Nokia phones ever since 1999. I stick with Nokia because the interface is really easy to use. Nokia phones are usually user-friendly. Not only that, their phones also have really nice features and also have nice designs.

I am currently using an LG 550 that I bought almost a year ago, and I absolutely love it. The thing has all the features I could ever want, and it's just an all around good phone. I accidentally dropped it into the hot tub one night, and it still worked, even after that. I was amazed and relieved. I would have been preally annoyed if my phone had stopped working.

Nice, i own a prepaid phone too. Used to have a line subscription but I always pay high because of the tax thing. Its not practical. I just load my prepaid 500 a month and maintain it that way. Sometimes it reaches a thousand. Im not a heavy caller, I just text. Im always surrounded by landline phones anyways that has direct dialling which is kinda neat. Thanks. Have a nice day.

me too i think i prefer the looks more that's why im addicted to motorola phones before. i used to own a v3 and planned on buying a motoming but when the time came that i have enough moolah it was already phased out, haha, but still i like it. right now i own a samsung C520. it's kinda cute. like a toy phone. it's like a mobile phone for the kids. it's glossy red and a clam phone which i both like. i don't know how much is the retail price for this phone because i got this as a postpaid line. doesn't have bluetooth and infra but has fm radio that gives me good music and entertainment on which i can't live without. and basically, i can text and call of course =)

yeah the razor series have truly timeless designs..but yeah on the other hand of it, it has fewer specs and not very durable. i could remember i brought it to the repair shop twice though i really dropped it quite a few times. same here i love clam phones =)

Yeah that's good. I used to own a V3 too. For me the style of V3 is timeless i just don't like their performance. That unit is kinda fragile. I heard that Samsung is nice. I prefer clamshell phones. Thanks.

A Sanyo Katana. It does the job. If I could afford one of those fancy smart phones, I would but I'm waiting for my contrcat to end with Sprint. If I upgrade now...you know what that means...two more years. Don't want that. So, here I am waiting for June 2, 2009.

I always prefer to use nokia cellphone as it is quite popular here. It is more user-friendly and convenient and we can even share the charger even though if I’ve forgot to bring mine during vacation. I’ve tried other cellphone before but I find it’s rather difficult to use it as I’m used to the function of the former one and can handle it easier

Right now I own a Virgin Mobile pre-pay phone, the phone cost me just $19.99 and I only have to put $20 in it once every 3 months. It works really good, nothing fancy but I am able to make and receive calls, and I almost never have a problem getting a signal. In fact I was out in a resort area with a few other people all of them had expensive fancy phones, none of them could get a signal from the location, my cheap little Virgin Mobile phone was the only one that was able to get a signal out. I thought that was awesome!!

I used to like it a lot too but I find their quality dropping, designs getting more boring... and even their customer service is atrocious.

I'm using Sony Ericsson right now, i don't like any other phones compared to Nokia. Other brands of hand phone is so alien to me and if i want to change another type of hand phone i would choose either Sony Ericsson or Nokia.

Nokia I think is the most universal phone ever. This is the brand who focuses just inmaking mobile phones and innovating them. Though for me its time to move on. I used to be a nokia user. When I tried using Samsung it satisfied my senses. Thanks.

I use a Samsung as well, though mine is the PDA version with the QWERTY keyboard, Windows mobile, IE, etc. My husband and I drive a truck cross country and use it to keep up with email, weather, family, friends, etc. I would not know what to do without its added features.

All I need a phone for is to talk to people so I just don't see why I should spend all that money to get all the other things they load up these cellphones with.
I bought my only cellphone about three years ago, it cost about US$7.00 here in Trinidad, its outdated now and looks old but I don't see why I should change it.
Not if all I ever do is talk on it.

I also owned a Samsung X510. Its nice because it has these characters that you can include with the text message and they make sounds too. Pretty entertaining. The color of my phone is gold beige and it looks pretty stylish especially its clamshell. Love my phone. Thanks.
