What kind of phone do you use?

I know, kind of a random question. But I was wondering if Blackberry's are as common in the business world as I think, or if other smart phones are taking it's place.

This question is geared towards people working in a business-like environment so, if you can, please specify. College kids can add too but that's not the point of this.

Oh, n if you can, please tell me why you like your phone more than a blackberry/other smart phones.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA

drexelalum11Exact same as above. Would consider an Android phone for personal if it weren't for the need to root it to kill bloatware, and the lack of Google voice in the UK
Just wondering, but what would you use Google Voice for?

I just find it more convenient because it automatically transcribes your voicemail, you can set it up so it will go to both your mobile and land line, you can use the voip function to make calls (esp int'l) for cheap, and you'll get SMSs, voicemails, and missed call notifications sent to your email

What kind of phone do I use? That would be the ugly black box with a corded phone that sits on my desk.

mfoste1i have one phone (not counting the desk phone) and it is a samsung flip phone circa 2004. I pay $42 + 11 data a month. i laugh at people who pay more than $100 a month for cell phone/data per month, and i laugh even harder at those who pay retail for smart phones because they really wanted to "fit in".

Quit laughing!

Do you actually laugh, though? Because that seems like a pretty B-movie villain move.

 

A vodafone crappy 10 eur phone that came with 1 eur. All nice phones I have ever bought I loose them less than 3 months. Still planning to get a samsung galaxy tab to use skype.

3 year old Blackberry for personal use, Blackberry for work. Not particularly exciting.
