Other.

I have a phone_just_phone. The cheapest around, small, reliable, with a battery charge that lasts (if I am away for few days I do not even bother with the charger).

For years I used a Treo 650. But then the bulkiness started to bother me and I was annoyed by having to be careful with the battery charge.

I use the ipod as a PA. It so small, slim, tough, powerful and versatile. I am relying on it more and more. When I will have to change it, in a couple of years, I will mantain the same scheme.

iPhone. I've had a blackberry, a windows phone, android phone and an iPhone. The iPhone was the only one I've upgraded.

Five Years???? That's not a normal tech cycle as prescribed by the manufacturers. You MUST change every two years or SOONER!

I chose iPhone, mostly because I've been using one since about a year after the first one was released. I originally had no interest in the iPhone until one of my co-workers bought one and I got to see it in action.

There is a good reason that every smartphone since the iPhone looks and behaves pretty much like the iPhone. Call me an Apple fanboy if you must (although to be fair I should tell you that I'm typing this message on a PC), but the darn thing works, it works well, and I don't ever have to worry about it not working.

I realize that certain people are fearful of the "walled garden", but the thing about that is that quality control is usually a bit more tight.

There are the people that just want a product that works and then there are the fan-boi's.

I say enjoy what you like.

Any chance the hoi polloi will be able to see the results of this poll?

If I could have anything, it'd be a fully updated version of Windows Mobile. Since that's about as likely as finding a unicorn I had to settle for Android.

I suspect the OP has abandoned the poll. Any chance the mods can get involved?

I agree. I love WinMo 6.5 and wish for an updated version running on modern hardware.

I guess you need a different Android phone then.
