    I voted Android because that is what I am used to, but I may get an iPhone next.

    Blackberry is dead with Nokia to follow soon.

    Android, different devices for different needs, screen size and power. More 'open' in terms of doing various things with it and the UI is so much better.

    For a phone, I'll stick with my Nokia 6700 classic.

    For a mobile communications hub-device-email-multimedia-gadget, I think the iPhone pretty much does the job. My work one does have a bug whereby I can't hang up a call sometimes (especially if it's gon to an answering machine), but otherwise it's OK.

    Nokia have still got £4.2 billion in the bank, which is more than some analysts were expecting and is alot for a company that's dead or dying as some people say.

    Obviously, they can't continue to make such a loss every quarter. Lumia (Windows Phone) sales are up and are only going to get better once they have some WP8 phones released and selling in my opinion.

    Here's some analysis of Nokia's recent results and current situation.

    Android. Galaxy S2 here and its brilliant.

    And im not locked into apple store that wont let you install your own stuff.

    I did very briefly think Iphone. But when my sister said she cannot bluetooth files from one phone to another i thought WHY???

    How stupid. And i bought the S2 instead.

    Android for me, I refuse to buy a phone that i have to use itunes with. Everytime i install that on my computer it never works properly.

    Why android, I like the look that i can create for my phone. I have the same phone as others but my themes make it my own, whilst also being able to control it from my computer and control my computer whilst out and about :)

    I presume that apple have implemented tethering to their phones now ??? Because i wouldn't be without that and bluetooth transfer.
