Just curious what everyone likes here. Seem to be a lot of people into Moto here, which surprises me because they tend to have a lot of problems. I have a friend that works for tech support at AT&T wireless and he says almost all his calls are about Moto. My vote goes for Nokia. They've never let me down.

2 years ago, I would have said Nokia all the way. But since then I ended up with a string of Sony Ericssons...

What I found (while stil comparing Nokias - my mates have em): Nokia seem to have gone down the image route, whereas SE seem to have concentrated on good, usable phones.

its really a tie. i owed nokia, se and moto. and even though my current phone is a moto and i like it a lot,

i would still say ericssons are the best. or is it nokia... not sure. menus are the best on nokia. se phonebook is not the greatest, though better then motorolas.

nokia phones are simple are intuitive. if they did not make so many misses and useless phones and only make the best selling models and top of the line stuff, they would win.

ericsson are great for compatibility, the charger and cables from my old model worked with all the new once. nokia likes to change connectivity options from phone to phone :(

I voted Motorola just because, overall, they've been pretty good. I've owned four cell phones in my life:

NTT DoCoMo phone (8/01 - 7/02) - LOVED this phone. I forget what model number it was, but it was great. Had all these things that, at the time, were so far ahead of American phones that it was amazing. i-Mode web browsing, polyphonic ring tones, colors, wallpapers; hell, the phone came pre-loaded with DDR!

Motorola 120t (8/02 - 8/03) - This phone was a huge step down from my Japanese cell phone, but since my DoCoMo phone was tied to Japanese networks, I couldn't use it here in the States. So, I had this one for a year. Pretty basic phone, one of the last ones to come out on Cingular's TDMA networks. Text messaging was nice, and it was stable as all hell, so overall, it was good.

Motorola T720 (8/03 - 1/04, 1/04 - 5/04, 5/04 - 5/05) - Biggest piece of s*** I've ever used. Started crashing in January 2004, so I went in and got it replaced. Then the replacement started crashing, so I got that one replaced in May 2004. Then that one started crashing around September 2004, but when I went to get that one replaced, they said that since it'd already been a year since I bought it that they couldn't replace it anymore. After using this phone, I vowed to never use a Motorola phone again, until...

Motorola V635 (5/05 - current) - AMAZING. I was worried since it was, in fact, a Motorola phone, but I'd heard so many good things about it that I decided to give it a shot, and I have not been disappointed. This is the single greatest phone I've ever used in my life. It has everything I could want in a phone, and despite me putting it through its paces, it's remained solid throughout it all. I'll be using this phone for a while.

I've had various Nokia's - 3210, 3310, 3510i, 8310. I've had a Sony Ericsson P800. But my fav phone so far is this: HTC Typhoon/Audiovox SMT5600 or if you're in the UK it's an Orange SPV C500. http://www.audiovox.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...13758&langId=-1

I probably like it for the sole reason that it has Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Smartphone on it. It's great, better than any Nokia and perfect integration with Microsoft Outlook.

    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before you try to pass someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.

    • There really isn't anything magical about the low latency profile, other OS's do this as well. All they're doing is using your CPUs boost clock options in a more smarter way.
    • So we shouldn't have the option because of people using their laptops on battery? OK? LOL
