I am interested in learning your opinion about the best mobile phone available in the USA. Please tell me the name and manufacturer and the following: a) if you personally own it; b) if you have used it; c) which carrier it is available from; d) the reasons why you like it. Do you like the voice quality, the signal strength, the size and form factor, the battery life, the weight, the design, the special features, the multimedia options?
Note: this question is *not* about carriers. Just phones. I am aware that Verizon & Sprint’s networks rely on CDMA technology that does not interoperate with the GSM networks managed by Cingular/AT&T and T-Mobile.
