What mobile phones do we all use??

[Matt_Dabs]

A few reasons for this thread -

1) To annoy Phil@Dabs cos he's trapped in his little Windows Phone 7 bubble, farting around with an obsolete OS and trying to justify it by showing me his little dancing Xbox avatar.

2) I may or may not be working on a version of the dabs site which may or may not look nicer on a phone than the site does currently. This may or may not be true. Ssssshhh!

3) I've just bought myself a Galaxy Nexus and I wanted to show off

So, me first. As I've mentioned above I've got myself one of these little beauties.



And I love it.

Silky smooth, Android 4.0 is gigantic leap forward for the OS. I'm sure Phil will disagree with me but I feel that this puts Android at least in line with what iOS is capable of. In its stock form, without any tampering by the carriers or manufacturers, and teamed with the amazing hardware of the Nexus, it's the best smartphone in the world, right now.

So, who's next?

I'm one of those old-fashioned people who use their mobile phone as, well, a phone. As a result, I'm not interested in all this touchscreen malarky and have a Nokia E55. It is fairly feature packed but I rarely use the wifi or email stuff. The radio player connects to Radio 4 quite well, which is nice

HTC Sensation



Nice cheap phone works nicely at 1.5ghz never lags never slows down displays websites better and faster than my tablet (although it is a Galaxy Tab that met some water before I got it so I just repaired and it has it's issues ). In general it just does the job I ask of it and is a huge leap after my Win Mobile 6.5 phone I was using (I had newer ones in between but always went back to the old reliable), and on top of that in a few weeks 4.0 upgrade can't wait...

HTC Desire



I can actually upgrade this month so this thread might prove helpful! Matt is swaying me towards the Nexus.

Anybody got anything better?

HTC Radar - ultimate phone, not based on some constantly changing, buggy, slow half-a**ed OS thrown together by disparate groups.

No just based on a Bug that they decided to call an OS

The battery has had to be pulled out of my girlfriends Samsung Galaxy more than the number of calls she has made on it - complete rubbish - my Win7 phone has never had a problem.

Ha ha, I knew this would rattle his cage.

Blame Samsung for that and the bobbins Touchwiz they put over the top of Android.
I've always used stock and never had an issue (well, as long as you ignore me ramming Android 2.3 on to an HTC Hero that originally ran 1.5), and not a single crash for 4.0. The only problem I have had is from apps that aren't up dated to support it yet, but that's only a matter of time.

Samsung Galaxy S2



But I'm not using that Touchwiz rubbish, running LauncherPro as my UI, never have to pull the battery, ever. The only problem I've had with it is my application drawer not being displayed properly ever now and again, but that's because of LauncherPro. The only thing I miss from my HTC Hero is having a notification LED (noLED doesn't work well with WdigetLocker, which is AWESOME).
