I have a windows phone which is a Nokia Lumia with windows phone 8 as its OS. I've never tried windows phone 7, but I do really like my mobile I have now. I can even use it as a wifi router and use my 4G data for my laptop, for example right now to make this post. Even so, I try not to think about Microsoft sending my data usage to the NSA, Department of Homeland Security, CIA and other parts of U.S. government.

 

What kind of device do you use? Do you like it? Why do you like it? What device do you dislike if you dislike any? Android? iPhone and iOS? A Mozilla Firefox phone? I saw the Jolla phone coming out of Finland sometime soon.

 

I think the Jolla phone looks really elegant. It's based on the MeeGo OS for netbook laptops. I tried that a few years ago and it was quite an interesting operating system.

 

So what's your flavor?

 

 

Also a photograph of some Valium (diazepam) just because.

Using a Galaxy SIII and Andoird 4.3. I love the phone, but I hate the OS. I liked 4.1.2 more.

I don't know of it is or not. I found a guide for that model to downgrade back to 4.1.2. I'm sure there is a way to do this for your model as well.

I've looked into downgrading, but the site that was hosting the files was got shut down by the government. I haven't been able to find an alternate site yet.

My phone sends messages, calls people and I can go on the internet if I really want. It's awesome. Dunno what phone it is, or the OS, I suppose it's just a phone thing.

iPhone 5 with whatever the latest iOS is I guess. Had it since January and it hasn't let me down once, the only possible criticism is the battery life but since I got a car charger that hasn't been so much of an issue, so meh. 

Before that I had a HTC Desire HD on Android and it was awful. I bought the iphone outright as I was so desperate for a new phone by that point, the HTC was always randomly restarting and wiping itself and eventually it just started opening this SatNav app up every 5 seconds. Stupid phone.

I probably wouldn't go back to Android, at least not in the near future. I have an iPad and a Macbook and I like the way they all sync together.

iphone 4, not updating the OS since I don't think the phone will be able to handle the new version + read some stuff online about horrible lag, it's fine as it is anyway :)

I'm not a phone person and have never been, I currently have some model of qwerty Samsung and that's good enough for me.

I have a Galaxy Stargazer, 4.3. I love it. My best friend has an iPhone and its way too easy to break lol. I have a tendency to walk into walls and drop things. Anyway, I can use my data to power my laptop (when it gets fixed) and can do pretty much whatever I need to with it.

I got a Nokia Lumia 521 with Windows 8 (I believe). My phone works for everything I need. The only complaint I truly have with it is the horrible music apps it has. I've had so many issues with the phone duplicating songs like 5 times. The music apps also make it bug out at times and my phone would stop working properly for a few minutes. Aside from that, I pretty much like it.

Not going to lie though, I would pretty much like an iPhone for it's simplicity, just not for it's durability.

I have no complaints about iPhone durability so far, I've dropped mine a couple of times and it's been fine though I am pretty careful with it in general. My boyfriend had an iphone for years and never broke it...then cracked his screen twice in a month haha.

HTC One on Android OS

This has been without a doubt the best phone I've ever had, it still runs as smoothly as it did when I first got it almost a year ago now. I've put it through hell, dropped it down stairs, in a bath, glass of JD and Coke yet there's not a single dent or scratch. Considering it's purely touch screen as well the durability of it is what makes me happiest. My iPhone lasted a week before it was completely screwed and the battery died every hour. The battery on this (not counting if I'm playing games/music) will easily last me just over 24 hours. I was doubtful in the beginning because people had said bout previous HTC phones being a bit unreliable, but my blackberry was crashing every 6 hours or so and I needed to upgrade xD (I do miss my blackberry though, I had that for 4 years before it gave up on me)

Even though the retail of this phone was like 450 , it costs me like 27 Inc. Insurance and unlimited everything. So feel like I got a fair deal there reallly :D
