...some call it cell phones, some call it cells, and some call it mobiles.
What do you call it? ...and if you own one, what kind do you have? Who is your provider? ...and what cool features does it have?
My mobile phone provider is T-Mobile - and I own the purple Nokia 5300 Express Music.
The main feature on this phone is that it's an mp3 player that can play music pretty loudly. ..comes with a 1GB memory card so it can hold a decent amount of tracks.

I just have an LG from Verizon. No real special features. I got it for free when my dad bought his Razor. It suits my purposes quite well though, especially with the unlimited texting on our plan.

I'm with MTS (our provincial company). I have a Samsung of some sort, nothing too special. I have a pretty sweet plan though, unlimited calling for 20 bucks, and unlimited texting for an extra 10 or something.

I have a nokia, it's kinda awkward. No camera, no music, no pictures, and no number four. Yeah It's a pretty unique pone. Our provider is T-mobile. We get 300 minutes every month and free weekends...we only talk to people on the weekends.

Haha....yeah, my phone is pretty indestructable as well. I've dropped it down flights of stairs, stepped on it, even knocked it out of the window of my friends 6th-story dorm room once. The battery popped out, but other than that it was fine (doubt it would have been if it landed on concrete as opposed to grass)

Wow you guys are really rough with your phones, my dog was frisky and thought it was a toy so he played 'you can't catch me' with it. Besides being dropped a few times, that's about it.

I think its easier just to call your handset a mobile, well for me it is easy to say that. I have an Apple iPhone 4s mobile phone as it allows me to connect to the internet with ease rather then having to go onto my mac computer. The iPhone also allows me to carry my music round with me rather then having to use a separate device, plus the iTunes account links up with my apps too!

Wow it's been a while since I originally started this thread! I am now with AT&T and have the Blackberry Q1- sometimes I feel this phone was designed just for me! =)

I call it cell phone and I'm currently using Spring. The service is really bad though and will be moving to another provider once the Galaxy S5 is released. Which should hopefully be by the end of the month.

I have a Galaxy S4 I bought for 450 pound when it first came out. A good phone I am with O2 but might change to Orange. O2 Is ok. When the s5 comes out I will sell my s4 and sell something else. I get good wages on my job so it is not that bad

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 through Verizon. It's the 32GB hard drive model so it has a sizable memory.

I have the Google Nexus 5 which came out in November. I have been really impressed with it, does everything and more! I would recommend it to everyone, I much prefer it to the Iphone and it's cheaper.

I have a Sony Xperia U. It's unlocked, but I use the 02 Network.
It has a nice 5MP camera and 720 HD recording. Not bad at all. xD
It's an android smartphone.

I have the iPhone 4 which I've had for just over 4 years. It still works just fine, so I haven't felt the need to upgrade. I probably will eventually. I'm thinking of sticking with the iPhone since this one has done me pretty damn well over the years.

Most people where I live call them smart phones but I still call them cell phones.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Mega and I just got it a few weeks ago. I don't think I've even had it a month now. Everyone I know is freaked out by how big my phone is.
How is the batter life on everyone's phone?

Wow, how far phones have come! I remember my old Nokia and my flip phone, I thought I was so cool lol. I have the Iphone 8 now, unlimited everything, with AT&T. From pressing the button 3 times to get the right letter, to now having the full keyboard.
