What other Smartphone OS have you used?

I'm probably giving away my age, but I've been a smartphone user since the first Palm Treo. :eek:

Not really, I was using cell phones years before the Moto StarTac came out. I think I'm so old that I used one of the Miami Vice suitcase phones before! Ones with rotary dialers on them! LOL

Never used Nokia's OS, but I've used most of them since the StarTac. I REALLY loved the Erickson s710a phone. That was my mostest favorite phone before the iPhone 3G.
 
Symbian S60 V3, BlackBerry OS5, WebOS (1.4.5.1), Android (Gingerbread), and currently use Windows Phone (Mango) as my main phone.

My fav interface and transitions even if I included iOS would come from WP. My fav OS for multi-task is easily from WebOS. Closing an app just by swiping up feels intuitive. My fav overall ecosystem/app collection/hardware+software marriage easily comes from iPhones/iOS.
 
Android and iOS. iOS is so much better in my opinion. I got a galaxy nexus on Verizon and it was Junk. It didn't last 5 hours without recharging while my iPhone 4 lasts for 2 days...

How do peoples iPhones last for 2 days?? I have to charge mine everyday and occasionally twice. I get about 14-17 standby and 5-7 usage
 
I used Android in December 2010 when I tried out the EVO for a couple of weeks and returned it because the battery life was atrocious. I used a Blackberry as recently as September 2011 and all I can say is that the BB is not missed, at all.
 
Of the options given, I've used and own both Android and Windows Phone Mango devices. I think it goes without saying that iOS is my favourite, followed by Windows Phone and then Android. I really like the smoothness and simplicity of iOS and Windows Phone. I think Zune is a better desktop syncing solution than iTunes, but then I think they are both better than the one for Android! All I really would like to see now is a Windows Phone with a much higher resolution than is currently offered as it would be a real contender as my next phone. I'm eagerly anticipating what Nokia has to show next :)

I should also add that I was a Symbian user in days gone.

Just android..Samsung Intercept, Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, and Galaxy SII..I do not like Android at all lol

I can't believe you just said that! Android is the most technologically advanced piece of software that human kind has ever produced because it makes your life easier because it has widgets! You had best rethink your opinion to match those who think android is better. :p

Yeah I don't understand how people get such good battery life either! I charge my phone every night, and i get about 6 hours of usage. I do get good standby time though.
