There's an official Android thread, so here's another thread for the people that choose to stick to fingers to Apple in the phone choice.

I've got a Blackberry Curve (8520). Got it last week, and I love it! It's brilliant. Completely different to a conventional phone, but I like that.

The qwerty keyboard is brilliant, makes texting much, much easier.

Camera isn't too bad for a phone, 2mp, little bit of noise but nothing serious.

Once I fully explore all it's brilliant functions, I'll write a bit more.

So anyway, post what you have!

Edit: here's my pin in case any of you want to add me: 222a9635

BlackBerry Bold 9700. I'm loving it, especially after coming from a 5-year stint with a Motorola Razr.

I haven't explored much of the apps or even cracking it. Basically just changed my wall paper, played with some minor settings, and put music on it.

The facebook app is alright, but I still prefer browsing to the mobile version of the site. Pandora is pretty slick, but I rarely listen to it anymore, and I can see it draining the battery pretty fast. Google maps has come in handy a few times as well.

Also, I really love the keyboard. I need solid buttons to push as opposed to touch screens.

Say Camm, now that you've got a mobile phone that can browse the web, how about that mobile version of bf2s?

I love the BB I have for work. I like the ability to view excel files and the keyboard. The camera blows though - much prefer the android/iphone camera as far as cell phone cams go

A couple of my friends have BBs. They love theirs. Always with the asking for PINs.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

I always thought the "display your funky little bar code while the other phone takes a picture of it" as a way to add contacts was pretty and

I got a BB Curve 8900 in April 09. The first one came defective out of the box and would reset itself whenever it wanted. RIM replaced it free of charge and sent me another one.

The second ones trackball decided to stop working about a month into it, RIM replaced it free of charge. The third is still going strong and I love it.

I've got a Blackberry Tour 9630. About the only thing good about it is the build quality and the keyboard. I'd rather be using webOS or Android or iPhone OS.

I want my blackberry back. Ran over it with a truck, and now I'm stuck with a samsung flip-phone with a confusing, illogical menu system.

Curve 8520 over here. Love it, great phones. I don't need shitloads of apps and games and other wankery, so it works fine. Also I *need* a physical keyboard, touchscreen is not for me.

Touchscreen on my ipod works well, althought after use a full qwerty keyboard, it's much, much better.
