I finally decided to get a cell phone about 8 months ago. Technically my first one (what can I say, I never really needed one, still not entirely convinced I do now).

Anyhow its a cheap little Alcatel OT-908.

Generally speaking it has been a pretty good little phone, but the lack of memory and some bloatware it came with were a problem until recently. I decided to finally get the cell phone unlocked (gonna need it in the US), and I also rooted it, which has solved my memory problems (got rid of all the bloatware and outdated programs, and moved most of my apps over to sd card on an ext2 partition using Link2SD).

Currently I use a Blackberry Torch 9860 paid for by our company and free to use as we see fit.







I was asking an Android phone, but my boss limited the choice for the department to iPhone and Blackberry.

Lol, well, I'm one of those people who likes to keep his monitor free of fingerprints and smearing...I'm always stopping people when they are looking at something with me and they feel the need to touch the screen, instead of pointing with a safe 3" distance between their grubby fingers and my sacred monitor.
