(Yes - I know that Apple's Developer site is down right now... Not so strange... *lol*)

Not me, the company I work for gave me a Samsung SGH-X495 which is a basic flip phone with a few added features, and for me, it's enough.

I don't want all that added crap in a phone.

And I refuse to held hostage by Apple's "sole source" policy.

when i think of it my current phone suits me very good

I prefer flip phones as they provide protection for the keyboard and screen. The screens are also usually bigger which makes them easier to read.

My only real complaint with this phone is that the menu selection bar is light blue with white text which makes it rather hard to read.

If I ever decide I want a cell phone I can use for personal as well as business use, I'd probably get a Motorola Razor.

my screen has some advantages for reading, and its mineral glas. Its VERY easy for reading @ direct sunlight even

there is not a single scratch in the display after half a year of usage. It feats a 3.2 megapixel camera+light

same with my watch. I cannot use a normal watch i go bashing it against stuff all the time

NOT a single scratch. I once bashed it against some rusty iron, it got a mark on the glass but that was just rust (i hit it quite hard and though "ouch. that was it") but i could just wipe the rust off

Yeah, your screen does look rather large compared to most cell phone screens, and being readable in direct sun light is a plus and a rarity.

Now that is nice, and IMO for a non-flip phone mineral glass should be a standard.

thefool wrote:same with my watch. I cannot use a normal watch i go bashing it against stuff all the time

Me too, I will not buy a watch unless it has a mineral glass face.

Well, everyone is allowed to have their own opinion...

IMHO it is THE mobile - years ahead before competition... You can't really compare it to other mobile phones.

01, When it is jailbroken you really have a BSD Unix "server" in your pocket
02, With BSD Subsystem and apache installed it works very well as a web server

03, The environment for development use gcc in the bottom
04, The display is stunning!!
05, The battery life is very good
06, It has taken a large potion of the market in the states (I guess it wouldn't have if it was a crapy product)
07, The way Apple is going to sell 3:rd party apps for the iPhone is genius
08, and much, much more....

I must admit I'm maybe a bit subjective, the first thing I do in the morning is to check my mails in my iPhone and the last thing I do at night is to look at a movie or iPhone developer podcasts on the same device...

i would like one to check my mail on but apperently its not 3g so its way too slow for my tempo

?!?! Don't you have WiFi at home? :roll: I don't use it as a webserver over edge / gprs...

Sure i have WIFI but why the hell would i use a small thing like that when this place is overflown with laptops

nevermind though, my PDA has BOTH edge/gprs and wifi-ability
