There isn't really any! For example:
'What kind of mobile phone do you have?'
'What type of mobile phone do you have?'
'What sort of mobile phone do you have?'
These all mean exactly the same thing. Type is probably a little better in formal situations, but other than that, they're synonyms.

And so forth and so on, you see?
