Mobile Phones - What Are You Currently Using?

Also curious about the usage of WhatsApp - available for iPhone and Crackberries.

It's basically a cross platform (iPhone and Blackberry) IM tool. To send and receive messages, WhatsApp utilizes the internet data plan or wifi.

iPhone (and Crackberry) Apps

Wondering if any iPhone owners have used any of the vBulletin apps and which one works best with SQTalk.

Also curious about the usage of WhatsApp - available for iPhone and Crackberries.

i'll just add, the last year or two has been great for phone options! so many choices out there!

two very nice phones there guys! well done.

i bought a nexus one (the google phone) last month and use my hero as my overseas phones (using a SIM local to that country)

-push email (like blackberry)
-full sync of google services (and auto backup!) - gmail, bookmarks, docs, podcasts, search, map queries (starred items), google streeview in singapore, turn by turn navigation
-full sync of facebook contacts (so you can get status updates and their photos in your contacts view)
-AMOLED screen (pure blacks - easy on the eyes)
-easy full day of batter power (with 3G connected all day) - the e72 would be very good at battery too i imagine!
-2 microphones (1 is noise cancelling) so taking a call outside on in a busy area isn't an issue for the person on the other end.

i use an ipod touch as well as there are some apps i like from the app store. but as a phone, very happy with the nexus one!

since this thread is up again, let me post my latest toy...

got this HTC HD2 last week..... as a secondary phone... using iPhone, but not miss the easy customisation of a WM phone... so went and got it... still playing with it, ... installed some essential programs ... will be hacking into the system to make the home screen to what I like....

Well, the Samsung phone screen keyboard has decided this am to be 'inactive' or 'non-operating' till further notice. Cannot even type the pin code in order to practically switch on the 2-SIM card device...

As a result, new member in the family has just arrived, in brown/gold color. Email connectivity to be added in the days to come, and I'm curious to see how it feels, first time for me using this on a mobile phone.

I carry one of these around everytime I travel




it fold up nicely into a small package...


Very useful when battery run low on the iPhone.

the iphone is great with all its apps - but only major problem is it battery life and cant last hardly a day and one cant even keep a spare battery as its built-in and cant be removed.

That's true, my batt lasts 2 days max. I carry the USB cable around with me, and simply plug it into the computer when it needs charging; it's lot less bulky than regular mobile phone chargers.

I'd just caved in and have gotten myself an iPhone 3GS. Love it!

Starting to sound like you miss Korea!

To be honest, I miss some elements of life there, especially working with our colleagues in the stations we have in the region.

Decided to get this twin-SIM phone, as coming up here I wanted to have both my Greek (personal) but also my local (business) mobile phone cards in one device.

One phone, one charger, one set of batteries. Simpler is better, especially when travelling or going in/out of office frequently.

Battery duration could be better, though.

[Unbelievable I chose a Korean phone, yes, I know... And it's not only Korean, it's made by Samsung as well... and wait till you read this: I'm typing all this text in a Samsung 15.4" laptop pc which I bought back in May '06...]
