Anybody have a phone they're just completely nuts about? I'm not interested in Blackberries, which is also kinda why I'm not interested in the iPhone (too much shit I wouldn't actually use, plus the delicateness part.)

I kinda think I wanna get something with the little keyboard on it, since I text more than I do anything else.

I had it's predecessor, the A707, and I was endlessly pleased. I still use it as an alarm clock.

Extremely durable, I dropped mine countless times and it went through the wash once and it still works great. Excellent speakers, endless battery life, great features all around. The music player UI wasn't so great in the 707 but it seems like that's been fixed in the 717.

Also it's actually sold by AT&T so that helps.

I don't actually -do- that much on my phone. I text and make the occasional phone calls but that's pretty much it. If I were to get a "smart phone" it'd be an iPhone or one of the cheaper Samsung versions, but I just don't know if I really see myself using all the little doo-dads that come on it. It's kinda the same reason I don't get a music player like an iPod or a Zune, I just don't think I'd actually use it all that much.

The first time you twit whilst taking a shit it's magic.

Facebook is social networking. Status updates there are intended to convey news about your life to people who you think should have access to that information. It's a closed, private, comfy walled garden where you can choose who knows about you and what they know.

Twitter is a segmented global chatroom, except you're the moderator. You do get to pick who's in your room, but you don't get to pick who's rooms you're in. And there's lots of ways to find new people to include in your chatroom, none of which require you to know their name, a person who has friended both of you, or to have gone to the same school.

The only problem with Twitter is that it sells itself like it's the status update on Facebook, which is fucking retarded. No one gives a shit what you're doing right now. But if you've got something funny to say about #startrek and you want to address it to @wilw you can go ahead and do that and there's a good chance that wil weaton will read it.

Monica probably says this to all the girls:

Well, you said you don't want a phone with a lot of doo-dads so I guess the iPhone would definately be the one for you.

You do know there's a Facebook app for the iPhone, don't you?

There's nothing like poking people on the fly, trust me

Unless the extra smartphone features are phenomenally attractive to you, you're probably better off with a dumbphone.

Smartphones are awesome and all, but compared to regular cell phones on strictly "phoney" criteria like battery life, cost, durability, and dialing and such, they're really pretty lousy.

Yeah exactly. I've been waiting for infinity years for a phone with vastly improved audio quality and reception, and while that's just barely beginning to happen in newer cell phones, it's not nearly enough. Jesus, I don't care if I can shake my phone to test my "strength". I just want people to stop asking what I'm saying because I'm calling within 5 miles of a running motor. Fuck you Apple. It's just like the iPod and the irreplaceable battery. Assholes.

I have a Razr V3XX. It's pretty awful, but it fits my "needs" considering I have a phone conversation like twice a month.

I am happy with this decision.
