Have another survey I need to do for class. So what cellphone and carrier you have? Do you like it? Any plans to upgrade soon?

For me: galaxy s3 for Verizon. I love it, it's an awesome phone and well worth it. Finally no plans on upgrading since I do not want to lose unlimited data to Verizon's jack off plans. Unlimited data, shared 2000 minutes, and unlimited texting.
Edit: also what plan do you have? (Data, text, minutes)

HTC Radar.

i THIIIINK i use Vodafone, but honestly i'm not that sure.

yeha i like it, it's a windows phone, which i'm sort of intuitively against, but it's pretty dang stable, and doesn't really crash ever.
good dang battery life, no real complaints.

i had an LG Arena before, and that was a piece of shit.
i don't need to upgrade, i've got a business subscription (for me alone) but i actually have an option to add like extra numbers to it for employees whose phonecosts would end up on my phonebill (like a company phone)

i got it because it was the only subscription that didn't charge extra for calling from and to other countries in europe.
i'm on the move a lot, i've lived in frankfurt, paris, and now rome, so that shit's an issue if i have to pay a ton just to call my parents.

i don't get free internet with it, but for 14 euros a month, a free HTC radar, and no 'out of bundle' charges was a pretty goddamn good deal to me.

hope this helps :)


(also, it's a dutch subscription)

Device: Samsung Omnia 7

Carrier: AT&T

I love the build quality and choice of materials on it, as well as the squared-off shape. Samsung typically makes plastic pieces of shit for phones, so this one is definitely an oddball in that it's almost completely aluminum. It is a Windows Phone as well. I like the UI and all of the fluidity, but Microsoft has failed to evolve it to keep up with the times. They've also given us early adopters the shaft with Windows Phone 8 and shot their platform in the foot by making all of its selling points now available to the competition. Great job, Microsoft.

I'm on a family plan, and we went with AT&T because of the flexibility of GSM. My data plan is Unlimited, but it's the $15/mo. Unlimited Data for Non-Smartphones plan...the company doesn't recognize my device as a smartphone. :p
Despite my phone not supporting 850 MHz (whooo Euro phones), I still get pretty great reception on 1900 MHz. Just not in my neighbourhood. :gonk:

I do plan on upgrading; my Omnia 7 is my first smartphone, and when I got it in 2011 its technology was already two years old. I may also be making the jump to T-Mobile for their unlimited Faux G. I am considering the Euro variant of the Motorola RAZR M, the LG Nexus 4, and the HTC 8X as my next device. I'm leaning more Android, but I want to see what WP8 has to offer before making a final decision. I absolutely will not consider any Samsung device nor will I consider any Android device whose UI is any appreciable deviation from stock.

AT&T (Shut up, they've worked just fine for me. As a reference, I'm in the Chicago area)

I've actually had this thing, as of tomorrow October 30th, for an entire year now and I love it. It fits well into my hand and runs great.

I don't know what my next phone will be actually. Android phones are starting to not suck so much shit anymore so those are in the running. iPhone 5s is sorta on the list, but I'm just kinda "eh" towards that stupid 16:9 shit they pulled with it. I want a nice, good rectangle and not some elongated...thing. If Android phones stop making themselves out of plastic as well, then I'll probably drop Apple unless they pull something fantastic out of their asses.

Phone: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic ($50 on 3-year contract; $30/month plan - unlimited messaging w/o e-mail and no data :()
Carrier: Rogers

Got it in July 2010, wanted to get rid of it after 3 months. Have no eligibility to upgrade. I've checked every month for 2 years. Guess I can't change my phone until next July.

Sony Ericsson J230i, Virgin Mobile.

I have zero intention of switching phones or carriers, because it does what I need it for: calling people when I really need to talk to them, and allowing vice versa. Being in a shared house with 4 other students, I don't have a landline.

I kind of wish it had a camera, but then I realise I would be taking photos non fucking stop and am glad it doesn't. It does have a colour screen... that's about it. No internet, no camera, no capacity to play music, it has a radio but I never use it.

If I want a fucking computer, I'll use my PC or laptop, not my phone.

As for my carrier, I just get credit in $30 chunks. I don't use my phone nearly often enough to warrant any kind of plan. If I want to talk to people for any length of time I do it in person or, if that's not possible, via my PC or laptop.

Samsung Galaxy S III (32GB - pebble blue, Sprint) $279.99
The good: Comes fully loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G LTE/HSPA+ 42 capability, a zippy dual-core processor, and a strong 8-megapixel camera. S Beam is an excellent software enhancement, and the price is right.
The bad: Screen seems too dim.
The bottom line: Pumped with high-performing hardware and creative software features, Its a excellent, top-end phone that's neck and neck with the I5.
Also love the S-Beam! Worked flawlessly every time I tried it.

I have no cellphone, and I love it that way. Tell your statistics to deal with it.

One of the few that don't sever haha, it's all good.


Been wanting to try out S Beam, just have yet to find anyone who has the S3 as well (mostly iPhone users these days....). Out of curiosity, does anyone hate the physical home button on the S3? I personally like it, prevents me from hitting it on accident like I did with the nexus.

I prefer physical to capacitive in general. Especially on TVs...anybody who puts barely-visible capacitive buttons on their TVs can go out of business...SAMSUNG LOOKING AT YOU.

But yeah. My Omnia 7 actually has an iPhone-esque Home button, and I love it. It provides me an easy-to-mash key to check my phone while it sits on the table; I don't have to pick it up to hit the lock button. The proximity sensor also prevents it from unlocking the phone while in my pocket.

That all said, if phones must go buttonless I wish they would move to on-screen buttons. They are less prone to accidental pressing since they are not a part of the frame where you hold the phone and they are always visible when you need them.

Never use it. Got rid of my carrier because fuck paying for something I don't use.

Still thinnest phone. Take that, Apple.

LG Spectrum - Verizon

I got this phone a couple months ago. Before that I was using a prepaid Cricket ZTE Score - not a bad little smartphone for the price. I'm keeping it around until I have time to turn it into an mp3, gps/maps, or gaming device.
