Always been a fan of whichever brand i owned.........
First was ericsson (without the sony)
then came a slew of nokias (hated every one of that lot but very user friendly and at times innovative...........the microsoft of the mobile phone world)
moved to the Sony-ericsson's -- brilliant technology , build and features......
and currently on Samsung and the D-500, fantastic phone and excellent clarity, build quality and loads of features...........
The next favourite who knows could be a seimens, motorola or even a sagem.......................nah!!
