First smartphone I ever had was a Palm Centro (got it as a gift) which I got in early 2008. Lost it in a party couple of months later. I was using a WinMo device before this, an HTC Faraday/Cingular 2125 from 2005. Got it last November for free through my dads work (refurbished). It had no 3G or WiFi so I rarely ever browsed the internet. I did upgrade from 5.0 to 6.5 through hacking it but that was shortly before getting my Liquid. Features like an easily syncable calendar, access to e-mail, etc is what made me enjoy using smartphones.
My buddy and I turned $20 into a couple of thousand dollars playing online poker. We each withdrew $400 (while keeping the rest in our account to continue playing). Since I was okay financially, I decided to put it towards an Android device (GPS, internet wherever I go, AIM wherever I go, calendar to keep me more organized and all the reasons stated above). Originally my plan was to put $170 of my own money plus the $400 towards a Nexus (price+tax), then I found this Liquid for $360 and as amazing as the N1 is, I did not feel that it was worth $210 more than the Liquid. Got the Liquid 3 weeks ago, and so far in love with it.
