I still use a Nokia 6310i
I was recently mocked by someone in the pub for having such an antiquated piece of technology in my pocket. Apparently, not having a colour display, camera, and "real" ringtones, means that it's nothing more than a glorified paperweight.

Maybe so, but I can get a week's use out of it between charges, thanks to the enormous battery stuck to the back of it, instead of having to charge it twice a day because the battery's too damned tiny to power all the included gizmos for more than five minutes at a time.

6310i
Best phone ever made, bar none. I'm right there with you. Shits all over the iphone in every possible way. I took mine on holiday once, battery lasted 15 days. My new HTC sits on a charger all day. If i go out and leave the GPS on - I get 45 mins out of it. Modern tech is fucking shite.

My daughter uses my 6310i
but not as a real phone (she's 5 for F sake) just as a toy and everytime I see it I wish I had it back instead of my E75 which is a bit of a lemon. Come back real phones all is forgiven.

How do you know if someone's got an iPhone?
They tell you.

Some of them use slightly more subtle methods.
Maybe they feel it's a bit gauche to state blatantly that they've got a five-hundred-quid gadget spoiling the line of their suits.

I have a BlackBerry
I hate it - a shit computer and a shit phone. But seeing as how I haven't owned a personal mobile for 8 years, I'll not own an iphone until my employers pay for one for me.

There's probably
an app for that.

A girl I know FOUND hers.
She was in a bar with friends one night when she spotted a solitary iPhone sitting on the counter, with no-one else anywhere near it. She took it home, found the owner's details in it and e-mailed him, saying "Hello, you left your iPhone in bar X last night. Let me know when you want to pick it up."

The owner replied at once, saying "Oh, that's great. I have to go abroad on business this weekend but I'll get back to you as soon as I'm back in the country and we'll sort something out. Thanks very much."

Never heard back from him. Free iPhone.

OK, so she didn't exactly try very hard to ensure he got it back. Then again, if he's the sort of person who can just forget he has an iPhone, I don't feel too bad for him.

I'm a gadget whore...
...but I've gone out of my way to avoid the iPhone on principle.

I find having internet access on my phone useful, so I've got a "modern" 3G phone. But for that I'd still have my trusty Motorola, that currently resides in the possession of my good lady wife, on whom its features and style are wasted.

As my eyes scanned along the line I saw 'Motorola' and it made me think of my lovely old tiny purple phone...
...which I sadly lost one drunken night. You could program your own ringtone and I made mine play Music: Response by the Chemical Brothers.

Anyway, cos my brain was full of ^this^ I skimmed past a few words and just read 'my trusty Motorola, that currently resides in my good lady wife'. Well mine was very smooth and had a good vibrate!
