Looking to see what others have in there pocket and how they like them. Ourselfs we might as well get something decent if it's for free or at least not full price I seen lg has some good phones any comments please add to posting. probably will go continue with exsiting server or go to telus.

I have an IPhone and I absolutely love it. I do however use the internet and e-mail a lot on it. If you are not going to use the "fancy gadgets" there are plenty of other phones out there that cost less that will make calls jsut as good. But if you don't mind spending the money, get the iphone. It has endless amounts of uses.

My husband has an Iphone and loves it. He does the tunes, surfs, and texts. I wasnt going to be using the internet, but I like the tunes and the texting so I got a Blackberry Curve. Love it.

iphone user here...LOVE it. I read the news each morning on the train...easier to swing around than a big paper. Also gps comes in handy a lot.

Our contract was up and I went and got my wife the Blackberry Storm. I've been a fan of the iphone, but after playing around with her phone(while she's not around - very possessive of her new phone

) I must say that it is also a very impressive smart phone. I may just have to get my own.

i cannot believe how bias you people are. they are absoolute GARBAGE. if the reason you want an iphone os to playgames etc then fine but the actual phone itself is trash. id sooner carry walkie talkies than an iphone. JUST IMO. i dont own one but my best friend does. half the time it doesnt ring the other half the calls are dropped. like i said above, if the phone funtion itself is not what your interested in the go ahead. my buddy is a mega dork and he is not satified at all. everything works great EXCEPT THE PHONE. (isnt that the whole point of a mobile PHONE???)

My wife and i both have the New HTC touch pro's. The only positve things with these phones are they are windows based so it is like have a pc in your phone. Nice for me as i work out of town but i can sit at my desk and surf the net etc just like sitting on my computer...
Great reception and never any issues with it yet so far!!

I have been thinking about a iphone when my telus contract is up a buddy of mine has one and he loves it never had any problem with it dropping calls as far as I know. But I dont know about rogers service who is using Rogers right now and how are they to deal with. How is the cell reception are there many problems with dead zones? Telus is real good for the service area I have been back behind Mission 4 wheelin and still been able to call out.

I have an original version HTC Touch. and I cant wait till my contract is up. It's a good PDA and the like, but the cell range sux, and the screen is sensitive when your talking and it starts activating things when touching your ear LOL

I LOVE my iphone LOVE IT!!! I have had lots of phones and usually there is something that it lacks or I don't really like. I can put my own ring tones onto it, surf the net, facebook in bumper to bumper traffic, and just about anything else. I use it when I am working to listen to music and can check email at a jobsite.

I think it si the best investment for a phone you can have. I have never had any sort of buyer's remorse what so ever.
