I have like... a normal cell phone, it is quite awesome. You can, like, call people and sometimes they answer. And you can also send them these cool text messages.

Dying to buy a PS3 for Uncharted 2 but my pride says no. And I still love EA.

I've never used a phone with an OS.

My phone sounds a lot like Sim88's!!!

I can play any emulators I like with Windows Mobile without having to download an App and worry about Apple deleting it. And I also don't have to jailbreak anything. The only good thing about the iPhone OS is multi-touch. Everything else is a dreadful mess.

Blackberry OS is a mess. It only responds when it wants to and the theoretical easy email set up is a pain in the ass.

I vote it as worst phone OS ever.

Can't really vote on the poll, I've only used the iPhone OS. That said, I'm pretty pleased with my iPhone, has some problems, but no deal-breakers.

Why do all the Apple lovers keep saying the iPod OS "just works"? The others are broken or something? I don't get it.

It doesn't "Just work", Apple users just don't know any better.

I have a HTC Hero with Android... Haven't really used any other mobile OS so can't say which is best, but I voted for Android since it works pretty well for what I need.

In the case of WinMob (6.5 and lower) yes it's broken. If not broken it's so bad MS should claim it to be broken to save their faces.

Compared to Android (at least the version I've tried on HTC Hero) was way to fiddly and it didn't "just work" to slow some of the same faults as WinMob (but not as bad) with to much focus on features instead of usability (all in my opinion).

I'm missing Symbian OS on that list. Not my personal favorite but Symbian has a huge marketshare.

Right now I have a Samsung Omnia with WinMo 6.1 and Samsung's custom TouchWiz UI on top. In terms of features it's a very good phone, but WinMo 6.1 isn't very touch-friendly once you get beyond Samsung's costum layer.

My next phone will definitely be Android. I've played around with Android devices a lot and it's my favorite mobile OS so far.
