    i have a samsung i760 with win mobile 6.

    why? because it's not an iphone and can send mms :P and doesn't require a blackbeery plan for a million dollars an hour.

    I used to have a PPC6700 Windows Mobile phone, but switched to a Blackberry Curve last year and LOVE it. My Blackberry plan is only $39 for unlimited data use, so I'm happy with it.

    First thing I did when leaving the UK was bin the mobile phone. Horrible, annoying, intrusive bits of modern technology.

    Too many years having calls about how quick, how long and whats your eta in the service industry.

    Call me weird, oh you cant I aint got a cell phone

    2 iphones in our house
    couldn't live without them
    I don't even care about the mms, but I do wish we had it
    I can do everything else with it, even stream video from my phone

    ps.. I didn't get my first cell phone till I was 25, and that was for a job I was working at

    I have a verizon vx6700 (or something like that!) with win mobile 6.

    I want to get away from the win mobile because it's just brutal. I would like to get their new blackberry storm. The service is the same for either the smart phone or the blackberry. So to get a much better phone it's worth it

    The new iPhones can handle mms can't they? Or is that an upgrade with 3.0?

    * MMS messaging is available only on iPhone 3G; fees may apply. MMS may not be available in all areas.

    An iPhone (I had a 2G and upgraded to a 3G). I've previously owned an iPAQ with Windows Mobile, but once you've used an iPhone for any amount of time, there is no going back!

    MMS... what a laugh! How many MMS do you send a month? Is it "mission critical" to have?

    And for what it's worth, MMS is coming in 3.0 (see attached image that I got from an undisclosed source) , but you will need a 3G iPhone (earlier models won't support it).

    Using an iPhone 3G 3.0, best phone I've ever used. May even consider upgrading to the new model that might be released in June with the 3.0 upgrade.

    We have 2 iPhones in our house, my parents have 1 each and quite a few of my friends have them as well. I've had 2 (1st gen and 2nd gen).
