Lightbulb If the iPhone didn't exist, what phone would you be using?

I'm curious as to what phones people would be using if our beloved iPhone never existed.

I would most likely be using an android phone because I love touchscreen's aswell as downloading apps. My second choice would be a blackberry, preferably the Bold.

What about you?

I don't know what I would use. A web-OS enabled phone probably. The Pixi sounds nice.....minus the no wi-fi. However since the iPhone came out in 2007, I would probably still be using my T-Mobile Dash.

I would probably be using some crappy flip phone like I was using before I had the iPhone. I didn't know any different.

I don't know, I had a Tmobile Dash before the iPhone that I liked. Maybe a new WinMo phone or Android I'd say.

It would have to be some kind of touchscreen phone. The HTC Hero is what I'd be using if there was no iPhone.

There are about 30 BB users at my work. Most of them have had one issue or another with the hardware. The most common issue has been the keyboard. Some have totally failed while others have buttons that stick or stopped working. I'm sour on RIM. I would use my old Moto Razr V3 over a BB any day of the week.

Pre, maybe the Hero or maybe the myTouch ( is that what it's called? ) on TMo, worst case a blackberry.

Probably a sidekick since most of the other phones wouldn't exist either if it wasn't for the iPhone's technology.

I'd probably still be on my Moto Razr2, or V9, or whatever the newer one was. I love that phone. It was great.
