One thing I love to post on MoDaCo is topics that promote discussion and let me get an insight into what people are using on the forum. Hopefully this is one of those topics!

Nice and easy...

What is your current device and what is your next device? Feel free to give any honourable mentions to other Mobile related kit you are using too...

For my part...

My current device: I am switching between a Black Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and a White 16GB Samsung Omnia at the moment.
My next device: I am really happy with these two powerhouses, but the Touch HD and it's large screen really appeals! I suspect i'll end up splashing out on a G1 too...
Other mobile kit: I love my Red Zune 80 (with Ultimate Ears) and my Black 6 Cell Wind, OSX'd! All carried in a gorgeous Waterfield Designs bag, i'm sorted!

Come share your thoughts!

Day to day phone/mp3 player is a 1st gen iPhone, if I want to sent MMS or use GPS I switch back to my Kaiser. Next phone will depend on what's available when my contract with T-Mob is up in Feb (18mth contracts suck). Like the look of the X1, but really like the way I can use the iPhone through the Aux port on my car stereo for music and hands free calling, 3G iPhone is out because it apparently switches off the built in mic when a stereo jack is inserted.

At the moment it's a Sony Ericsson T68!
Because i lost my Vario 3 with Garmin dk4.2 ROM, in Bristol 2 weeks ago. (gutted)
Next phone?
Don't know...... Touch Pro, X1, G1, Touch HD, or hang on and see if anything turns up with snap dragon in the near future?
Slightly off topic, but has anyone tried the T Mobile service with Sky Sports on there phone? At the moment this could well influence my decission.

Samsung i600 for email and and calendar with over-the-air sync
Nokia N95 for calls, texts, camera, video cam, Sat Nav, notepad, password safe and everything else except the above.

Hoping to finally move to a single handset with the Touch HD ... but only if the Bluetooth performance is MUCH better than the Samsung. I have a Nokia car kit that seems to be a bit picky about who it wants to talk to.

Currently on a Touch Dual.  Next device is probably going to be a the Touch HD....unless they ever release a diamon variant of the dual.  What's happened to that???

[rameses]

Current kit is:
HTC Touch Pro (bought last week on impulse as it looked like a good deal on eBay)
HTC Diamond (which I need to sell to justify the Pro - I really shouldn't have bought this one in the first place)
SPV C500 (I have to have a phone for work but they'd only give me a crappy Nokia - however I think it's died    )


Next device:
Nothing planned but I'm sure I'll end up with something in a few months when the novelty of the Touch Pro has worn off.

Oher stuff:
iPod Classic 160gb
Dell Inspiron 1520 Vista but I'm trying to summon up the courage to stick OSX on it.

Currently using a 3g iPhone as my main device. Absolutely love it, and couldn't be happier.

Will be looking forward to seeing the Touch HD to see what occurs there though. Wouldn't be entirely against swapping out the iPhone if something shiny enough comes along

Have just treated myself to a 17" Macbook Pro, with a full HD LED screen, which is nothing short of awesome

[Omikr0n]

I just sold my HTC TyTN II 2 hours ago. :-)
So I will stick to my Orange SPV C100 (HTC S310) until HTC S740 comes out. I really am a smartphone person. I always liked my S310 more than my TyTN II.
In case of emergency half-functional Sony Ericsson K700i is waiting in the shell.

Have you fallen out of love with your Diamond Paul?

[Chocolicious]

I currently roll daily with iPhone 3G 16GB, mainly for browsing, gaming, audio and video as I convert all my downloaded US shows such as Heroes, Prison Break, etc and watch them on my way to and from work.

I also roll with my cooked Compacy IV, which I have BB Connect installed on and use as my main email phone but love it mainly because it can do everything in a nice form factor.

In addition, I also roll with a MDA Touch Plus, also cooked, and is used for calls, texts, and documents, which I rotate with a Nokia 8600 or Vario III depending on battery status, destination, number of pockets I will have, etc.

I have been waiting on the Vario IV/Touch Pro on T-Mobile to upgrade from the Touch Plus but to no avail as of yet and now there are so many other phones coming out, I dont think it will be my first choice. I am looking to get a Blackberry just for the Blackberry Messenger, which you cannot get via BB Connect but not sure if I will upgrade on T-Mobile for the Bold or if I should buyout my current contract for less than £200 and get the Blackberry Storm.

The problem is if I upgrade on T-Mobile it will be a 12month contract whilst it will be 18month on Vodafone.

currently using 8gb Omnia, an awful mwg 503g and a ipaq 514 depending on what mood i am in. i also have an archos 605 30gb for films and a oqo model 01+.

next device touch hd. also dell mini nine with ubuntu.

[mstockham]

Currently XDA Stellar (Kaiser)

SE Xperia X1 is my next phone, I think.....

[Kallisti]

HTC Diamond currently.

Next device will be whatever can deliver:

* Small form factor
* GPS
* Fast OS experience

Ok, so that's the Diamond, which I'm extremely happy with!  I think about the only thing that's gonna shift me is a capactive screen with the kinda instant reaction you get from iPhone.  Pretty close to it using the ASTOR ROM.

[pete1909]

Current Device: HTC Touch Dual as a phone & Artemis(O2 Orbit) for Sat Nav
Jawbone BT Headset for long journeys - nokia carkit (Bluetooth) for around town

Next Device: HTC S740 - I need keys to dial whilst driving, really can't get on with touch screen on my dual. Have tried a friends Iphone and am tempted but smartdial on WM is so very useful.

[neilg]

Windows Mobile2002-Now, pretty much everthing WM Smartphone ever made (including a Sendo Z100)
Now, iPhone 3G with Gevy 3G SIM Thing in it + Samsung SGH-i600
Next - TouchHD Probably, if it truly is the first ever WM Professional touch screen device that I can actually use with my fingers.  Might give the BB Storm a punt too just to see what the haptics feedback is really like.

Ok, here you go:

My current device: T-Mobile Vario II about 20months old, and a work provided Nokia 6021 on Voda (useless).

My next device: TouchHD or TouchPro depending on T-mobile's contract/discounts, and what the HD ends up being like without a keyboard!

Other mobile kit: iPod Touch 32gig (1st gen) and work owned laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T60)
