T-Mobile My Touch 4G is what I have. I really like it. Video chat, e-mail, Internet, Facebook, etc. Good phone! :D

I have a HTC Incredible powered by droid. Love it. I play games, read books thru Kindle, read email, and even make phone calls...lol. It does everything I want it to do.

I have the Droid X by Verizon--best thing since sliced bread. It is like having your computer with you at all times...you can do anything with it that you can do with your PC (except print, perhaps). I just email stuff to myself and access it through my PC for printing later. Love the Droid!!

apple Iphone, it is ok. I think the new Iphones have bigger screens which I would like better. Overall I like the Iphone.

I have a droid with Verizon. Unlimited plan. Love it

3 DROIDX's by Motorola,(mine, my DH, and step-daughter), Verizon for service. We have had them for about a year now. Until recently, our only complaint was short battery life. Over the last month or so, both mine and my DS-D are having issues with "freezing". We have to pull the battery to do a full reboot. Frustrating. Having said that, are we ready to give them up? NO WAY!!!!! I love that I can check my email, this board, do my banking....pretty much anything I want, anywhere. So....I will be making a call to Verizon to see if we can get this fixed.

I can't figure out how to put someone on hold and answer when another call comes. I can't figure out how to drop the voicemail I'm listening to, to get to an incoming call. It makes me literally cry! I can't get it to do anything I want it to (keep the screen on so I can see when the bars are going; make the sound of the caller's voice louder, not the ringtone; let me check my email without checking it for me...)

The Epic's battery needs constant recharging. I replaced a Wal-mart phone because I never got many bars when everyone else was talking away. Best phone, decent plan, still same problem.

So I can't give you much good input, except about the battery.

One thing you can check is if your phone is set to search for a wireless signal. When it does that it works in the background and so you don't notice its working, but it drains your battery. Shut that off and you will likely see a huge difference.

I have an HTC powered by Android and Verizon and I love it. I have had it for a while now and I have never had a problem and its easy to use, and it was way cheaper than the iphone was when I bought it.

Iphone/Apple/ATT. I love my Iphone. I am on the road all the time, I it helps me stay connected. Yes there are areas that I don't have service, but those are getting fewer.

Don't like that Apple is so proprietary with they system, I just updated my software last night and try as I might, lost all my purchased, special ring tones....oh well, only paid $1 for them.

Samsung Captivate Android on AT&T here. AT&T is the only company that covers our valley, no sprint or verizon here.

I really like the Captivate, does everything I want it to and more.

Cindy has the new Samsung Windows phone, the operating system is slick and really easy to use. I had her upgrade to that because it's a lot more intuitive and easy to use than Android. I think next I'll be switching to that when my next contract is up.
