A lock on back with rubber lining, all holes covered by flaps and a gorilla glass touchscreen (which is becoming more common with all smart phones now!)... Still have no clue what the non hardware parts are though... I'm sales, not engineering! :laugh:

Basically T9 on a QWERTY-format keyboard. Really good for fast typing, especially if you have big hands like I do. Can be somewhat frustrating with the dictionary (when the hell would I ever mean to say "knorr" instead of "know"); another downside is that you kind of have to look at the screen while texting, which is something I didn't have to do with my old keypad, fliptop phone. But, overall a good technology.

I played with Swype accidentally today. It looked like lightning going across my keyboard, haha. It was annoying. I just want straight out typing.

Maybe I'm breaking away from INTP stereotype here, but I don't tend to keep up with the mobile phone industry at all.

My first mobile phone was when I was 19, and only because I needed one for work. A simple nokia model that lasted me several years. By chance, I decided to get an Samsung Galaxy S with android a year back, also mainly because of my work, since I could use internet at hand for work at times. So I now happen to have a relatively up to date phone. But if work had nothing to do with it, I wouldn't have a cell phone at all.

I personally don't like the idea of being reachable. I mean, I have to be for work and I accept that, but I'd rather not be to be honest.

I have a sony ericson touch screen, its the second generation touch screen so has better power useage than the first, to be honest the pluses are that its got great internet - virtually the same as a laptop most of the time - and probably the best camera - it can take HD film - but it is not an android phone so you cant use the android market to buy apps which is a disadvantage (I couldnt get kindle for mobile when I have it for both laptop and the device itself).

LG 400G Net 10 prepaid. All it does it make calls and text. I have no love of cell phones.

Custom-made headset reconstructed from toaster-oven and baby monitor. It can even listen in on HAM radios and police chatter. Once heard prepubescent children playing WoW on ventrillo.

Didn't exactly care about what kind of cellphone I got. But since Verizon had that buy one and get another sale... and the person I knew was getting a droid... I was thinking what the hell might as well.

Sad thing is that it is expensive, and I really don't use everything that comes with it except mainly the navigation, texting, and phone calls.
