I picked mine because its a flip phone and has a very loud ringer.
I was testing all the phones to find the one that got the loudest. The lady who worked there got pretty annoyed with me. 😛
I dont know what kind it is, it only has the name of the cell phone company on it. No brand names.. Weird. 😕
I have an iPhone 3GS - I picked it because I had an iPod touch previously, and it was brilliant, but i hated carrying around my phone and the ipod touch, it was a bit much, So i got the iphone, and it's everything i'll ever need.
I have a LG Chocolate touch. It was within my price range and I needed something I could text a little better on. I don't really care too much though as long as it has good batter life and can text and call. I'm not big on using mobile web.
I have too many to name, but the latest one is the Nexus One. I chose it because I liked the Mytouch 3G, but the N1 is so much better. Larger screen, faster processor, Android 2.1. I love the apps such as Pandora, Music Junk, Swype, tv.com, youtube, iheartradio. Never again do I have to settle to listen to commercials while I'm driving. 🙂
I am on a family plan so yea, $9 a month for me. Had an LG Scoop that I thought was awesome when it came out... had it for a while and it began to suck. So I switched to my moms old phone.
Also, seeming as I use my computer for more media things than I would use my phone for, it works for me.
