Default I've noticed that people around me seems to carry phones...

...that are either iPhones, phones from the Galaxy S line, or a Nokia Lumia. Hmm...

What phones are the most common around your area?

There a lot iPhones and BlackBerries, although when I'm out in public and far away, it's hard to tell if someone's using an iPhone or some other touchscreen phone.

Mostly things like iPhones, LG Droids, and Sony Ericssons for me, along with those generic flip/slide phones for kids without generous parents.

iPhones, or phones that look absurdly similar to the iPhone.

Aside from the iPhone and iPod-as-iPhone, I've seen the Galaxy S, Galaxy Nexus, and Droid Razr Max often. And I'm the only one with my Xperia Play

Mostly iPhones, though it's hard to tell since every phone nowadays look the same.

More like "for kids who aren't spoiled by their parents and are being raised right." Seriously if you are under the age of 12, there should be no reason for you to have a $200+ phone. In my day just having any cell phone at a young age made you cool. /oldmanrant

Mostly AT&T iPhones and some Galaxy S things. But about 68% are iPhones.

You'd be surprised at how the mobile landscape changes... I doubt even the average feature phone, aside from high-end ones, will satisfy their desire for... apps.

Mostly Iphones but I still have a starter phone and people younger than me have touch phones already. I'm thirteen so like eleven year olds have androids sometimes O.e WHAT (that's my reaction)

I didn't have a modern smartphone until around 2010, when I am already 17. Before that I did have a N95... which crashes all the time and is pretty much a feature phone compared to its contemporary, the original iPhone. Before that, a 6230.You could say that I'm a late arrival.

iPhones, iPhones everywhere. And the occasional Blackberry, but even those are becoming more rare. It's pretty terrible when I start seeing iPhones as the generic phone. And the only reason why I got a phone when I was 14 is because I convinced my parents that it'd make me feel safer in Québec/Ottawa/Montréal when my my school went there for a fieldtrip that year. And because my only feature that was a must-have was a 5 megapixel camera, (and that I just don't want a generic iPhone) I went and got a Windows 7 Samsung Focus. Yay! I like pictures.

SUUUUPER SAMSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNG GALAXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Seriously. I see these EVERYWHERE. Some iPhones, yeah, but it's mostly the Galaxy smartphones.

Also, I didn't get my first phone until age 15. It had a slide-out keyboard and nothing else. And I knew a couple people my age with iPhones. So...yeah.
