Cell phone? carrier?

What kind of cell phone do you have? Who's your carrier?

All my life I've had AT&T, or some variation of it, Bellsouth, Cingular, etc...

For over two years I've had the original Blackberry Bold 9000, and I loved it, but it was time to upgrade..

I love a physical keyboard, and I could care less about a touch screen..

but since AT&T laid me off last year, i have no attachments to them, so I decided to switch to Sprint.. I really wanted the Blackberry Torch, but I was going to save $25 a month on Sprint... and the Torch is only on AT&T

The Blackberry Style 9670 was the cheapest Blackberry they had, and it has BlackBerry 6... it's a flip phone, but has a full Qwerty keyboard..

I've had it for less than one day... several pros and some cons...

but with Sprint I guess I have 30 days to decide if I want to keep it..

so, if I don't love this, there is the Curve or the Bold in the BB world.... outside of that, I kind of want to try a Windows phone..

so, enough of my random ramblings... what do you all have? what do you hate or love about it?

I actually don't own, nor do I have plans to own a cell phone. I know that I have to get one for work, but they're footing that bill, not I. Also on times when i'm not on call, it will be turned off and kept out of sight.

Some people would compare that to old people who refuse to use a computer because of all the newfangled technology:)

I recently switched to a smartphone and I love it. worth the 70 a month I pay? not quite sure, but its not the end of the world.

Blackberry sucks now. RIM is so far behind the times it's ridiculous. My Bold from Verizon runs OS 6 like garbage. Yet, they promote every single OS as being so awesome and fast. Also, nearly all their phones have been 90% identical to each other. And their apps plain suck. Their latest Playbook tablet is not very impressive. I've had one for work to play with and I just can't figure out how it benefits me to carry it around.

Unfortunately, I am holding onto this one until a new Droid phone with a keyboard comes out. Then I will be off the Blackberry ship after riding it for 6 straight years.

I had T-Mobile and I had the Blackberry 9700, horrible combo. My phone would freeze up every two seconds well texting and browsing the web, are you kidding me??

So now I have Sprint and the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch YAY!

Motorola Droid Bionic with Verizon. The 4G sucks big time, so I just turned it off and stick to 3G. Why does the 4G suck? Well the speed are awesome, but Verizon has this issue where when switching to 4G to 3G you lose your data connection. At one time I lost my data connection for 6 hours and the only fix thus far has been to turn 4G off. Hopefully they will fix that at some point.

Samsung Nexus, rooted, oc'd on Verizon, grandfathered still unlimited data, 40 a month.

I went from iPhone 3Gs (Original phone) to Original Droid (Hated it with every fibre of my being) to iPhone 4 > Droid X > iPhone 4 again. I wanted to firmly believe there was an alternative to the iPhone, the droid just kept letting me down everytime. Slowness, mostly. The slowness problems were definitely fixed (I still play with test phones at best buy, verizon, at&t), but it left a sour taste in my mouth.

But ultimately i've settled on... a TracFone. Cheap, I don't call anyone so I don't need to spend 90 bucks each month for a cellphone with limited data... I always, ALWAYS go over. Pandora, enough said. I like my 19 bucks a month cost
