What is the best phone you ever owned? Be honest..

[Black Helicopter Steve]

My current phone has been the best phone I have ever owned, the T-Mobile G2. Stock Android and a nice keyboard. Love this phone, but it's time to give it up.

Reviewing my options for my next phone. Being with T-Mo USA limits my choices a bit. I am not enamored with my Android options and looking at Windows Phone, but even there my options are the 8x with anemic storage (I want to replace my MP3 player with whatever phone I get, so storage is a must.) or the lower-end Nokia for now. Kinda bummed.

If the ATIV S fixes the reported sound quality issues, then that might be my choice. I am not overly excited about it, though.

My current Lumia 920, without a doubt.

+1!!! I once dropped my StarTac while entering a NYC subway and the phone survived. Only damage was a deep scuff on the corner where the phone initially landed, before tumbling all the way down the flight of concrete steps. I miss the days when phone were built to withstand clumsy hands.

Yes, StarTac was amazing so was my motorola razor v1. I also had another flip phone before the razor but cannot remember what brand it was. Not a samsung or motorola, some off brand. Was a great phone but not nearly as durable as the razor.

HTC TP2 was a fun device.

I loved my Sony Ericsson M600i way back in the day. That thing was sexy in white.

My Sony Ericsson C901 - it had such a good camera, and is the most reliable phone i've ever had.

Other than that I also liked the Motorola defy, if only for it's incredibly small size for a 3.7" screen. It's top and bottom bezel is still tiny compared to even new phones with 3.7" screens. It had a good loudspeaker too. Shame about the overly laggy android on it though. The camera app always used to crash requiring a battery pull to get it working again.

My other favorite was the Lumia 710, which i've since sold regrettably. Some of the pictures i took with that phone came out better than my sisters 800.

I've had an 8x which was fab, until i noticed the screen getting tiny little scratches all over it, so that was sold on, not impressed with the gorilla glass 2 screen.

I'm now on a lumia 610 which i got refurbished for ?30 and its quite nice, but a bit laggy. I'm now waiting for the Lumia 620, as that seems like the perfect upgrade to the 710, love the styling too. Also got a Nexus 4 dispatched today... that will probably be sold on though, unless android has changed into something beautiful and smooth.

My Lumia 920 is the best ... and I do kinda expect every phone I have in the future to take the crown ... but ... I did love my Nokia 6820 at the time (2004). It was the first phone I had with a full keyboard, but managed to keep the small candybar form factor.

I think its a tie between my iPhone 5 and my Nokia N9.. WP8 still needs some work before it can claim that title for me.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Nokia 3310. At the time, it was amazing, snake, built like a tank with an inner coating of cockroaches. That thing was indestructible. I swear Nokia were thinking "Hmm, what's the toughest phone out on the market, and how can we make it a million times tougher?" - I've only ever heard one story of a 3310 being killed, and that's because some guy got shot in the back of the neck but it went through the 3310 first slowing it down enough so the guy would survive. Heroic death for the 3310.

My favourite is the 920 but if it were smaller like the 800 but with all the features it would be that so room for improvement. My favourite phone prior to this would of been the O2 XDA Mini loved that beast.

920 without a doubt. I seem to be one of those rare people for whom WP is the perfect OS, and the 920 suits me perfectly.

I loved my Nokia 3310 which later got a minor upgrade to the 3330. It fit the hand beautifully and snake was a legend of a game... Evvvveryone played it and literally if you got the top score, everyone you knew would know.. It also had interchangeable covers and the ringtone just seemed designed to play missy Elliot 'get your freak on'.. I've owned many hones from many manufacturers but all my favourite phones have been Nokia.. So now i have the l920. Certainly the phone i was most excited to ever get. I love it so far, but the 3310/30 will always be king!

Nokia 7710 and HTC Titan is easy the best phones I had. Problem free usage.

 

[matthewryans]

The best? HTC Touch Pro. The screen was retina even before the iPhone 4 and it was just blazing fast with 3.5G. The slideout keyboard was also awesome.

 

[Mio_Ray]

920, no doubt!

It is just a little bit more of everything. I was a little bit anxious about the size and weight, but to no reason. It doesn't bother me a bit, the size just makes the keyboard even better and the weight is just making it sit nice and firm in the palm of your hand.

HD7 by far. Everything just. . .worked. It fit so seamlessly into my life. More so than my 8X, no thanks to the downgraded maps and music syncing.

Previous phones included: T-Mobile SDA (HTC Tornado), T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur), and this Samsung 8MP feature phone I can't quite remember the name of (It looked like a miniature camera).

 

[soopakatt]

My HD7....By Far the Greatest phone I've Owned!!! My Only Beef is the Inability to Send Multiple Pics in a Single Message!! That and Not Being able to Send Videos by MMS! Other than those I wouldn't Trade My HD7 for anything!! Can't wait for the 7.8 update!!
***HTC Touch Pro2 was a Close 2nd***
