Same as you. Right Handed, left pocket. My wallet is in my right front pocket. I would bet my older age has everything to do with this.

Right pocket on the uniform, because I fear putting my shears and stethoscope in the same pocket, and the shears have a tip that doesn't facilitate the left pocket, and the stethoscope rubber is too grabby on the phone.
Left pocket in general, because my wallet is in the right and I hate them clanking together.
Left-handed, left pocket. Just habit I guess. Right side is always keys and headphones.
For temporary stowaways around the house (especially when cooking) it can go in either of the back pockets, depending on which hand I'm holding it with.
Right pocket 100%. Wallet in the back left. Unless I'm riding a bike in which case wallet in the front left.
Wallet back right, phone back left. When I sit down, I pull it out.
I'm right-handed and carry my phone in a belt pouch on my left. I take it out and hold it with my left hand while I tap or type with my right. I do all of my typing with a swype-type keyboard, so I just use my right hand for that too.
Am I the only one that quite often leaves it at home?
I switch pockets depending on what I am doing. Sometimes left, sometimes right.
Usually left back or side pocket, or in my hand, or under one leg/between my legs if I'm sitting.
I have a big screen android phone that I use mostly for games and social media apps, with a pop socket magsafed to the back because I have small hands. Goes in right pocket usually. With my keys on the rare occasion I use my car.
And I have a small screen iphone with very few apps, mostly just for taking videos and communicating with friends and family. Has a magsafe wallet on the back and goes in left pocket.
It makes me feel balanced, having a phone in each pocket. And lets me compartmentalize better.
Left handed, right pocket.
Back in my days we did not have mobile phones, so keys went into the left pocket. Phone just had to take the other one when I got one.
Right pocket, being a leftie. Although i also use computers with the regular right handed setup, maybe I'm wired a little strangely.
Front left trouser, unless I'm on a long walk in which case shirt pocket for the radio.
Also using Gravity Screen so it can't wake up and pocket dial etc.
Right hand, left pocket. But the left pocket of a jacket. I never keep the phone in my trousers pocket.
Is it never too warm for a jacket where you live?
Sounds awful TBH
Bag in summer. No way I would be able to fit all things I need in summer clothes pockets anyway.
I put away my phone in the opposite pocket from my keys. When I retrieve it, I always pull it out of the same pocket as my keys. Not sure what that's all about.
Phone: Right back pocket.
Wallet: Left back pocket, sometimes passport.
Leatherman: Right front pocket, potentially keys. Sharp metal things mostly, nothing that can get damaged.
Utility pack/earbuds/emergency usb-c charger: Left front.
Pack has a small toolkit and some usb-cables for charging.
Right handed, right back pocket (front if my trousers don't have back pocket). Or more often in my handbag.
