Sony Ericsson T237, which came free with my contract. It's decent enough, I suppose, but nothing particularily flashy.

I own a Motorola V400. Nice phone all around except the UI is glacially slow. Seriously, scrolling through pictures or even contacts on the thing is an endurance trial. I've heard that the V600 is better in this regard. So maybe I'll hunt down a used one of those for my next phone. I'm not a big fan of Motorola's latest flip-phone designs. The V400 and V600 are great looking phones. Too bad they abandoned those enclosures.

Nokia 5125, which I've had for nearly 4 years. It lacks many of the features of more modern phones (like a camera) while being a bit bulkier, but as long as it keeps working, I see no reason to replace it.

I've got a crappy Motorola T720. It crashes whenever I try to read multiple text messages.

I have one of these rediculous brick-phones;

On Pay as You go, bought it for about £40 back when 3 were doing some promotion or another. My friends like to call it the Phaser. It's about 18 months old now, but I really hate mobile phones and don't want to pay for another one, I only keep this one because it seems an absolute bloody necessity these days to have one.

Actually I find that when I switched from a 3310 to a RAZR that my pockets stopped bludging and felt a more comfortable, both physically and just with my apperance.

Jon - wow now that brings back memories of the day 3G was introduced in HK! How's the battery life?

I have a LG VX3300. My primary uses are the schelude feature and the alarm clock, the latter I use now instead of my actual alarm clock, which I can switch off when asleep. No real problems with it as far as I can tell.

I've heard they got lots of features, if you flash them first.
And I am waiting for the prices to drop to reasonable levels.

Nothing can beat my service, get a bill every 6 months, last time it was 80 euros, after all my rebates and stuff have been factored in I will pay about 12 euros.

Nokia 6170. works for me and i like the "stainless steel" look. I only buy a new phone when the one i use is broken. earlier one was a Nokia 3210. so i hope this one works about 5 years at the least.
