i used to be a iphone fan.. but made the switch to android around the time the 3gs came out, and never looked back.

I'm an Apple fanboy. I'll never use anything else.

drowe531 · July 7th, 2011, 01:22 PM

Basicish, samsung black jack2 right now that I got free as a replacement phone. Will be getting something in the android line when I get around to upgrading.

reaubideux · July 7th, 2011, 01:25 PM

Samsung Captivate... pretty much hate the damn thing, too bad I'm stuck with it for at least another 14 months or so before I'm eligible for an upgrade.

Love Android though.

p4174w · July 7th, 2011, 01:33 PM

I used to be a huge iPhone guy. Tried an Android phone for a few days while waiting on a replacement iPhone, and just stuck with Android. I will not go back to Apple anytime soon.

sombo · July 7th, 2011, 01:42 PM

Samsung Alias 2. So it doesn't quite fit into any of those categories really.

Lowspeed Lowside · July 7th, 2011, 02:11 PM

Got a reconditioned Samsung T301G for $19.99, which included 150 days of service (probably left over from the prev owner) and 160 minutes (60min + DM4L + 40 minutes w/code). It's cheaper to get a new (reconditioned) phone and use the old one as an extra alarm clock than buying airtime. If you do it right, running a tracfone less than $4/month.

almost40 · July 7th, 2011, 02:15 PM

What is this "cell phone" thing???

Azhyen · July 7th, 2011, 02:32 PM

I have a Samsung Vibrant with Eugene's RC2 build. Only thing missing was a front facing camera.

PsychoNinja · July 7th, 2011, 02:32 PM

vibrant is a good phone.. team whiskey makes some fast roms for that phone. and some fast overclock kernels.

Snake · July 7th, 2011, 03:00 PM

I don't have much need for a smart phone or the big bill that comes with it so I just have a basic.

Jiggles · July 7th, 2011, 03:02 PM

iPhone 4 for me. Jailbroke it so it doesn't suck anymore

Starting a new job at AT&T soon so I'll be able to get an android work phone for free (win) as well as my jailbroken iPhone (double win)

alex.s · July 7th, 2011, 03:17 PM

Yeah I was looking at some of team whiskey's roms, but I was more interested in long battery life, back in Dec Eugene's seemed to be the best one. I haven't really tried any other since.

What kind of phone do you have?

I second this.

TXJ · July 7th, 2011, 03:38 PM

I have a go phone with a minutes card in case of emergencies. Never had a cell with contract before. Or feel the need to pay a bill so I can do what I do at home, except when I'm at work or on my bike: let it go to voice mail.

bluepoof · July 7th, 2011, 04:28 PM

That is the same thing I do. I refuse to be a slave to my phone. I see too many people stop in the middle of a conversation because their phone buzzed them with an email, facebook. tweeter or other type alert that has to be attended to right then and there. I look at them like helllooo I'm still here!

ally99 · July 7th, 2011, 04:32 PM

Had an Iphone for 2 years. Just recently bought an Android phone, the HTC Incredible 2. LOVE LOVE it! I prefer it over the Iphone personally. JMHO

Currently have a Blackberry Storm 2, but considering a 4G LTE Android for my upgrade.

LOL! I do understand this, Rick. To make up for it, we don't have a land line. We also get to use our cell phone to tether internet, so there's another bill we don't have.

greatwhiteninja · July 7th, 2011, 04:38 PM

Tethering and wifi hotspot is a nice feature you can usually get for free especially if the phone is rooted. And if you have a newer more powerful phone it will power a laptop pretty fast with no lag really.

alex.s · July 7th, 2011, 05:03 PM

This is exactly what I do. I get around 6-9Mbps through my iphone with a latency of 150ms. Comparable internet service costs $40+/mo

patw · July 7th, 2011, 07:34 PM

Samsung Galaxy S. I used to be a huge fan of the Apple stuff (still have my OS X desktop/laptop), but phone wise this thing seems so much better.

Also started doing some development on it. Install/test apps over USB or Gmail vs. pay Apple $100? Tough choice

wtf · July 7th, 2011, 07:38 PM

HTC Thunderbolt. I had the Iphone 3Gs earlier this year but sold it on eBay for a modest profit.

Android FTW.

Snake · July 7th, 2011, 07:42 PM

Looks like the Iphone and Android are about neck and neck.
