I have the new Blackberry Curve I purchased in October. It doesn't have the roll bar of past models and is very easy to navigate through. I'm quite happy with it. Battery life is great and sound quality is quite good. The only minor complaint is the qwerty keyboard is smaller than other Blackberrys in the past and sometimes hard to text. Otherwise, this will be my phone for a while and my next type phone in the future.

We currently have the Apple Iphone. Being able to send and receive email is a big...big deal. Being able to connect to the internet has come in handy on many occastions too. We currently are putting a texting service up and the Iphone is great for that application too. And speaking of Applications... the Iphone App store is fabulous too, with hundreds if not thousands of apps you can add on, most at no charge. These apps run from pure toys to very useful items like GPS.
I can't think of anything I don't like about it...except maybe the monthly cost.
Our next phone will more than likely be the next generation of Iphone... or, the one after that.

Cell Phone is the Verizon Omnia II
It's a Windows phone and it syncs all my e-mail, contacts, calendar, etc...instantly
It could be a little faster
Not sure about what my next phone will be...I'm sure technology will change in the next few years

Blackberry 9000 Bold
Ease of use, battery life
No calendar program for desktop use. The Palm I had did have Palm desktop which worked very well. I do not want to spend the extra money for Outlook!
Not sure

I am currently using the Blackberry Pearl. Really the only thing I like about it is it's size. But if I would have known how hard it is to text with the small keyboard I would not have purchased it. Having 2 letter on each key drives me nuts. That is the biggest thing I don't like. The screen is to small too. My next phone I'm looking at is the G1 or the Blackberry Bold. I am real happy with my T-Mobile service, I have had it for years and have no complains. Everyone have a great radio day.

Sprint HTC touch
I really like most everything about it - internet access... usability - very simple, touch screen, excellent camera
I don't like that sometimes when on the phone it will open in layers many programs...and to hang up, i have to close, close, close, close then hang up.
I will probably get the same phone only updated version... its about a year old now.

I bought the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 in November 2009. They got rid of the traditional navigation ball and went with a track pad a lot like the track pad on a laptop. I love my phone because it’s a tiny computer, I use it to e-mail, enter my daily schedule and its crazy fast! Hoping online via your phone to see what’s playing at the movies and utilizing the GPS for my poor sense of directions is just well... FANFREAKINTASTIC! My last phone was 7 years old this Christmas... It’s still alive and is now my father’s first phone. To be honest, of course this phone is the greatest thing that’s happened to me technology wise because all I have to compare it to is my 7 year old phone that didn’t even have a coloured screen and has been dropped in a toilet and flushed.
Once in a blue moon it does freeze on me and will reload itself for 30 seconds, but other than that it’s been great! That being said, I’d be surprised if my next phone wouldn’t be a BlackBerry.

I use a basic Motorola phone on Verizon. I will not get an iPhone as long as it only works with AT&T. When I had Cingular (now AT&T) I couldn't reach clients, the station or my wife and when I complained they said that that didn't matter. I still needed to pay for the service. I have had a Palm TX which can read wi-fi and sinc to my desktop for calendar and contacts. It also can forward copy and messages. Having everything on one unit is dangerous. If it breaks or gets lost you are SOL. I would rather where everything on a Batman utility belt and know that my phone, my PDA, my camera and other items can last individually. If one item has everything in it then everything is lost when it's gone.
I also rely on my Bluetooth for hands free conversation in the car. Many years ago I stood in line for a payphone to talk to clients. Now I can do business rolling down the highway, or across country if need be. I try to always be available for clients.

I have an LG flip phone...don't know the model number, but it has the capability of texting and can access the internet.
I like the long battery life and the size of the phone. It is easy to use.
I do not like using the phone for texting, as it has a phone keypad which makes texting laborious.
My next phone will probably be a Verizon Droid or some model of a Blackberry.
I'd like an iPhone, but the service, coverage and pricing we get from Verizon is so good that I don't want to switch to AT&T. Friends have reported that AT&T's system is getting bogged down by all the iPhones in use, and in our area (San Antonio) they have coverage problems.
