We are mobile phone junkies where I work. My boss (the owner) must change phones every few months.
I got the digital StarTac when it first came out and it was great at first: digital/analog, small, new, etc... but the damn antenna keeps bending or breaking and I just have accepted the fact that I will have to replace it every 3 months (and it is not covered by the warranty or insurance). A co-worker has the same phone and his fell apart. I have gone through two belt clips and now I just put the phone in my pocket (which helps protect the antenna).
I really like the 6190 and the equavelant model (I think the 6185 or 6195) that is digital/analog. It is not a folding-style phone and the antenna does not move. I don't know anybody who has the 8860 (phone from Matrix, but the little door does not snap out), but it looks really cool.
The web stuff is actually getting pretty useful. I know people who go to stores and price books and other stuff while they are in the store to make sure they are getting a god deal. If the web has a better price, then they buy it through thier phone.
I don't know more people don't use vibrate. My phone is on vibrate 80% of the time. It is really nice in meetings because I can get calls without the whole room knowing.
