What kind of mobile phone do you have?

ibFoxer · 21-04-2014 09:18PM

iPhone 5 and a Lumia 520.

Have had an iPhone since the first release (albeit with a few others inbetween, Nokia 5530 & LG Cookie) and tbh i see no reason to change.

Lumia simply because i needed something between the 4s and the 5, cracking little phone.

EDIT: I know not strictly the place, but can anyone recommend a cheap Android phone, preferably with 4.0+?

Managed to blag a free upgrade to the Galaxy Note 3 from Three. I had the s3 previously which I loved and the Note just ****ing kicks ass as a phone.... Had apple phones and currently an ipad which I like but the Android piss all over them. Particularly hate the cameras on the Apple devices and the OS the Androids is far more smoother, user friendly and even just better to look at.

Sony xperia z, great phone, best I've had.

Have a Samsung that is a good few yrs old- no camera, the games are ridiculously boring and typing numbers in text messages is challenging.
I got it for free from a friend a few years ago, and it does the job, rings and texts.
Personally I wouldn't be the type to follow or purchase latest phones, I have an ipod4 and it's grand for reading emails/ boards etc on the bus or train.

Nokia Lumia 625 (Windows Phone 8)

Nokia N8 (Symbian)

Nokia E51 (Symbian)

I'm not a fan of Android or iOS, but I keep a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a Galaxy Mini around for development purposes, and an iPhone 4S, just if someone asks me to do something for them with an iPhone. It helps to be familiar with a few different devices and OS'

6+ years old and still lasting more than a week between charges.

Went down the smartphone route a couple of years ago. Found when traveling for work I was still carrying around my old Samsung duel sim slide phone, to change the sim back to as more often than not the battery on the smartphone was dead or nearly so whenever I actually needed to make or receive a call.

Gave the smartphone to my daughter, both happy, she got a toy and I'm back to having a reliable working phone.

See that's the thing. I'm no hipster, and I'm not a technophobe either, but when you're under a machine, holding somthing heavy, hands covered in grease and trying to speak to the dealer about parts, a touch screen is as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Or when it's 4am, somehow you're still at work in the arsehole of nowhere and you need the phone to work to make calls, not show an empty battery.. everything at work gets covered in oil, plaster, dust, metal filings and grit. iPhone screens smash, Galaxies crack in two and they are all too fiddly to be ar5ed with. Hence, dumbphone.

Ihatecuddles · 21-04-2014 11:08PM

Blackberry. Has a touch screen and buttons! Perfect.

Would like my old pink motorola flip phone though!

Have an Xperia Z, which is a good enough phone, bar the fact the inside of the camera lens is full of dust so kinda useless now for taking photos. Today, I found out why the dust is inside my dustproof phone... top corner of the back isn't sealed.

I guess it'll need to be reglued or something (thank fcuk I never tried to test the waterproof-ness of this thing).

Sh1tbag OToole · 21-04-2014 11:23PM

Android but its some utter pile of sh1te, slow buggy, unresponsive and a crappy user imterface. Cant wait to see some proper Linux based os running on a phone with a full keyboard instead. Like a new version of the N900 or something.

Grandeeod · 21-04-2014 11:28PM

Big screen androids are like willy extensions and I love mine!

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater · 21-04-2014 11:29PM

iPhone 4S, I like it but the battery is just woeful. Have to have a charger by the bed, in the kitchen, at the office and in the car. Wrecks my head.

neaideabh · 21-04-2014 11:31PM

Have a HTC windows phone. **** memory and the lack of mainstream apps makes me look forward til I am entitled to an upgrade!

Grandeeod · 21-04-2014 11:32PM

My first phone. 088!

iPhone 5

Kitty6277 · 21-04-2014 11:34PM

I had an iPhone 3GS which I had for about two years. I'm now using the iPhone 4s

Inspector Coptoor · 21-04-2014 11:37PM

iPhone 5C.
32GB.

It's grand.

Yamanoto · 21-04-2014 11:38PM

Lumia 920

Love the Windows OS & can see myself sticking with it for a good while.

The Th!ng · 22-04-2014 12:16AM

Recently dumped a Huawei Ascend G300 for a Nokia E71 instead. The battery on the Nokia lasts about twice as long as the Huawei one did.

osarusan · 22-04-2014 01:28AM

this softbank one. old and a pre-pay, so very limited.

I like the way you could load it with fivers directly

One of those chunky ones like this.

Fair play to you Herr Stein - an old one but it makes me laugh! I had one of the bricks before I went modern and got a Motorola Flair about 21 years ago. Living on the Continent, the battery technology was crap and they cost (as far as I remember) over 100 Stg. When I started getting generic batteries for 60 Stg I thought I was in heaven.
Now I've got a Samsung that takes and sends calls/texts. And that is all I need. Nothing is too urgent (like it was yesteryear).

Duggy747 · 22-04-2014 02:10AM

Motorola RAZR HD

Got it for it's battery life which is pretty good and it's a solid phone, doesn't do anything more magical than any other Android phone but I'm happy with it.

Graces7 · 22-04-2014 02:19AM

not into phone oneupmanship etc.

see the poll option does not even have a camera! why should it.

recently bought a mobile just for emergencies...tesco e 9.99. calls to the us and canada are one cent a minute. simple basic phone. only used it twice. to canada. great little phone.

NegativeCreep · 22-04-2014 02:32AM

I have a nexus 4. Absolutely love it and will definitely upgrade to the nexus 6 when it comes out this year some time. Didnt get the nexus 5 because it was only announced when I bought the 4.

I couldn't go from having a big screen to having a screen like what's on an iPhone. Far too thin and small.

BetterThanThou · 22-04-2014 03:33AM

Huawei Y300, great phone for the price. It offers great performance and feels very high quality. The only major downfall for me is that the rear camera is abysmal, it might as well not even be on the phone. But, I bought it for €70, I believe it usually retails for €80, I can't complain, it offers the performance of a €200 phone. I've been considering upgrading to something better, mostly just because I can. Though, the only applications I use are Spotify, Facebook and Snapchat, so it would be a waste of money.
