I would go to blackberry storm 2. I gave up on anything windows mobile and android doesn't impress me at all. I always had battery and lag issues with Nokia smartphones. I had a BB curve 8900 and loved it so if not for the iPhone the storm 2 would be the closest reliable replacement I can think of.
iPhone vs BB Strom
Hey all you dude and dudet's I had an iphone it used to the greatest phone I ever owned. I had one little problem with it I got it wet real wet I think it stopped working after that, I say I think because I haven't be able to find it I deep 6 it off a fishing boat I work on. I replaced with a Blackberry Storm better coverage with Verizon in the FL Keys but bad bad phone sub standard bad phone. On the other hand the superior iPhone has a superior price thats why I sold out to the inferior product.

HTC Hero.
Palm pre = fail due to keyboard for me, but I like the OS.
if it were the future, I'd take a Motorola Droid minus the keyboard or the Xperia X10.
Nothing has dethroned the iPhone, and idk if anything ever will in terms of number of units sold. But as far as what I think the most superior phone out there is, the competition is getting close (finally).

I would probably choose the Xperia X10 or HTC HD2.
Just looked at the Xperia X10 and if it works well, it could definitely be a major competitor in this market.
EDIT: Seeing things like the Xperia X10 really makes me think if I will get another iPhone after my current contract ends. The UI really looks impressive and I have always liked Sony Ericsson.

When is the X10 out? I used an X1 for a while and really liked it - but windows mobile was a bit clunky.
The new X2 is out either now or very soon... when is the X10 due to be launched?
Can't wait, pity it doesn't have muti-touch but I'm sure they are working on it.
Probably won't get the X10 but might consider any further Sony Ericsson phones when my contract is up. Good start from Sony Ericsson if you ask me.
If you can't have the iphone, no point, just give up and get an old school nokia 2110. No other phone will come close so why bother?
ok, seriously, my wife has the htc magic, it's very nice, I'd probably get a hero.

The one that I'm using right now: A Motorola Razr V3i.
I could get and afford an iPhone, but I see zero reason to get one. I don't care for mobile high-tech toys and in my book, a phone is there for exactly one purpose: To make an outgoing phone call when necessary. I don't need or want it for anything else, and I don't like to be available all the time. Call it occupational hazard - I've been on 24/7 on call duty too often in my life.
I have an iPod Touch that I use in my car, but I use it as exclusively as a music player. I use a real computer for everything else.
This is easy...what phone?
The cheapest POS out there. Why? I don't need a smart phone, I just don't. I have the iphone because its a nice neat toy.
Droid? Sure, but why?
Blackberry? Ok..but again why?
Maybe after the Droid matures and gets applications like the iPhone does, maybe. But I don't live or die by my cell phone.
Besides, my wife has nicer gadgets and widgets to play with.
