I own my phone - and not the other way around.
It's off almost all the time - Unless I want to make a call*
Texting was disabled at time of count activation
Internet access was disabled at time of account activation
My days are not spent looking at my hip-holstered ego, hoping and praying someone will call me so I won't feel like I'm alone in the world.
It is not allowed to interrupt my interactions with real human beings (and such other facsimiles I associate with).
Neither does it go off in places where everyone is asked to silence their phone (and each believes that applies only to everyone else).
It's a phone, damn it! Get a grip.
* or wife orders me to turn it on.

My works phone is now a Blackberry - it doesn't have a touch screen so I am confident I will be using it more than my previous HTC touchscreen phone which I stopped even bothering to charge about 6 months ago.

Android. Reliable. Fast. Texting is a breeze. Best phone I ever had.

Meh - sometimes it refuses to turn on for a while. Also lost pictures due to some glitch with the SD card.

Compared to what? Looks pretty sluggish to me.

It does have a keyboard, which is good. But typing on any small device is a pain.

Same here. Now you can imagine what kind of phones I had before Samsung Intercept

I haven't had any problems really. Turning the phone on takes a little time but to be expected with an OS for the phone. Phone is fast for me. As long as I have a signal then everything has worked as expected for me.
I have used the SD card a few times (a couple of pics) but really haven't been able to put it through it's paces. I have found that downloading and installing apps is best initiated through the internet on a PC rather than through the phone itself (Android Market).

What I mean is that sometimes it just won't start - period. Then I leave it for a while (an hour or so), try again and it starts. My wife (she has the same model) experienced this just a couple of days ago.

Haven't experienced this "not starting" problem but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

It's have a very good battery, and it's easy to use in cold.
For another reasons like mobile Internet, gps etc. I have Galaxy Tab.

This is the last time I am using Nokia [Symbain]. It's quite old... no new application. Touch applications are pathetic and un proffessional.
I would switch either to IPhone or HTC {"completely depends upon my budget, but I will go for any of the two option"}

I use a BACON Mobile 7 - how else will I get CListCtrl on my phone?
Just thought I'd get those out of the way, so we could relax...

My phone won't be what you call smart, But it's quite smart for what I have it!

I asked the salesman, who was a big Android proponent, to show me their best Android phone (I can't remember the model) it had worse screen resolution and felt choppier than the iPhone 4, and once I added the 16GB to get up to the 32GB I needed for music it was more expensive than the 32 GB iPhone. Then the salesman said, "You still have to remove the battery sometimes when it locks up, but it's getting better."
Oh, well, that last bit almost sold me as it made me nostalgic for hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I resisted. I will investigate Android phones again when it comes time to get a new phone, but the platform still feels immature to me. I hope Google is successful in reining in the fragmentation, because that makes it very unattractive at the moment.
The iPhone 4 is my first iPhone, though I've owned the Touch. I've been happy with it, the biggest drawback of owning an iPhone are the "If you don't have an iPhone" ads which make iPhone owners out to be real douchebags. Maybe I'll feel better once I order my black mock turtleneck.
And sometimes when you're on, you're really f***ing on
And your friends they sing along and they love you
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems f***ing cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence

Yep, I have a friend who is a happy iPhone owner, and while I often tease him how my Android phone is better, the fact is that I've never seen an Android phone that comes close to iPhone. The only reason I own Samsung Intercept is the $25.00 a month plan from Virgin Mobile. If they were supporting iPhone or some WP7 phone, I'd ditch Android without second thought.

I have to agree, while I'm not a fan of the iPhone myself it is big enough to warrant a place in the options here.
