Blackberry QNX.
Might be it's only supporter, but I like the one I have now.
I had a chance to try a Blackberry Z10 at the store. Fast, pretty good set of apps available, and according to Winapp it is not too difficult to port Android apps. (As if I could ever...)
Sounds good here:

Go about 30 minutes in to get to the z10 review. He basically says its nice hardware but its missing a lot of apps available on other platforms.
iOS is still the best among others.

And here, inevitably, come the fanboys with the unsubstantiated claims about their preferred OS. The intelligent discussion was fun while it lasted.
Ouch, Shane, that's a bit harsh.
Harsh, but true. Even as an iOS user, I have no respect for someone who registers to a forum just to post something like that, without any justification for why they feel that way.
OK @minty_45, the gauntlet has been thrown down or even slapped against your cheek.
You need to justify your claim.
. . . unsubstantiated claims about their preferred OS.
Personally, I'll never let a little thing like ignorance keep me from having an opinion. Intelligent discussion is much overrated.
Thanks for that review, RRidgely. It is about like what I have read. I do really think it is an underrated device, and that may very well be enough to end it.
Now, having said that, you want lively, I'll give ya lively.
Androiders are simply wannabe hacker / coders who call each other up and effuse about the latest way to reach level 100 on some game like Zap the Dragon or some such. They start every sentence with "Dude. . ." and wear their ball caps backwards.
iOSers are corporate yuppies who are content with a locked OS that doesn't really do much and is about as configurable as a brick. They start every sentence with "Exactly what I was thinking actually . . ." and eventually agree with their boss. They wear expensive suits, again to impress the boss.
We QNXers, on the other hand, are the solid citizens who insist on rock solid performance and security. We don't talk much, and wear whatever we darned well please. Except for the yuppies (see above) who carried over from the early blackberry days.
Wonderful descriptions login
(May I add that most 'Piriform Factory' workers mobile phones use the Piriform OS® )
I was afraid it might be a little over the top. No offense meant, of course.

On the Golden Laptop no doubt. Is there a download link for an ISO??

Dude.... that was harsh... *adjusts baseball cap*
Actually, Shane, I was thinking exactly that. And I certainly don't want to irritate someone with your computer skills.

Hey login, you've left some of us out of your ministrations!
My phone doesn't have an OS, doesn't access the internet, is devoid of a camera, doesn't play games. In fact it only does phone calls and text messaging. But it does that so well.
Sorry for the slight off topic wander rr, but I didn't want to feel left out.
Coming soon from Piriform Labs™, the Golden Piriform Car Phone
I want two!!!
You'd need one of those shoulder thingies to go hands-free ...
and that thing on his right which you think is the passenger seat, is really the battery when you want to disconnect it from the in-car kit.
the sash around his belly is part of the over-the-shoulder-phone-holder (patent still pending).
my actual preferred device-OS would be Symbian, circa Psion 5mx.
now that was a great little clamshell.
@dennis, if your phone (just a phone, nothing but a phone) is a Nokia or Ericsson, I think Symbian did their OS's for a while.
just a phone, nothing but a phone
I love that phrase.
Mine is actually a "Siemens MT50", and you'll be shocked to learn that I paid £70 for this just after the turn of the century.
It's probably older than some of you guys, but it still works perfectly and the battery (original) still lasts for a couple of weeks. How many of you can say that?
Weeks?!? Lucky to get 3 days here.

A survey of different phone models from guys of battery life could be useful
A similar survey from GALS might prove an interesting contrast
I've had my extended battery (3200mAh) in my Thunderbolt last for over a week with over 50% left depending on how much I use it. I can generally with regular use, get about 5 days out of it right now.
