Probably a Blackberry of some kind. I used to have a Windows Mobile phone (Moto Q) before the iPhone - so at least now I know I'll never use one of those again.
Got a tip for us?

If you didn't have an iPhone ...

I don't have an iPhone, I have the most basic phone you can buy. No insurance to worry about, doesn't matter if it gets scratched, don't care if it gets dropped and nobody in their right mind would steal it.
The reason I have this phone: because up until the iPhone came out, I just saw the whole mobile phone industry as overrated, overpriced and pointless. I'd rather spend out a grand (UK £1000) on a computer every couple of years than pay the equivalent for a simple telephone. And still a big part of me thinks this, but the iPhone is very appealing, and at some point I'm sure I will buy one.

... I'd have a life and not be obsessing over it 24/7. It's really got ahold of me. It's pretty much taken over me.
If I didn't have an iPhone, I'd either have no cell phone or a simple go-phone like I used to. I go the iPhone to have the internet EVERYWHERE, I don't talk much on it.

Original Razr. iPhone was the only phone that could have convinced me to upgrade. Not because the Razr was a good phone, but because I hate every cellphone except for the iPhone due to their horrible interfaces.
Would go with an HTC touch HD when it is launched. Will probably buy one anyway when it is released even though I do have an iPhone I need a phone that can be unlocked and tethers.
The iPhone does both of these, though (well, ya cant unlock the 3G yet, but it wont be much longer).
I'd have either:
-N95
-ATT Tilt
-Q9h
-E71
(Hell, I may end up with one of these regardless, I am itching for a change.)

my thoughts exactly. Dam Apple are the only people who tempt me in to the consumer world of gadgets.
SOCKS proxy isn't the same thing as a full tether. I have netshare and I am aware of how it works. I want a phone that actually tethers. Do you have some source for your prediction it will be unlocked soon?
I have the HTC diamond as my "back-up" phone. It would be my choice if I did not have a iPhone 3g.
Well, since I don't have an iPhone, I can say with 100% certainty that I'd be using a Vodafone 715 
If my iPhone disappear tomorrow, and I couldn't buy a new iPhone, I think I'd pick up the Treo Pro. Maybe the HTC Touch Pro/Diamond or Palm Centro
Edit- Or the Nokia E71, that looks very nice too!

If I didn't have an iPhone, I'd probably have an N95 on my previous network '3', and not be too bothered about the cell phone business.
Now that I do have an iPhone, i've begun to obsess over it, like never before, like what a previous poster said.

Just came from a Blackberry Pearl, and absolutely loved it. I'm now on an iPhone; if I wasn't, I'd probably be on a Blackberry Bold.
