I'll list mine. From 1997 to present 2009

Motorola c520 > Dreadful battery life

Nokia NK402 > Lovely and worked well

Nokia 3310 > Good work horse

Nokia 3330 > Same as above but with animations.... wooooh

Nokia 3510i > Colour screen!!!! WOOOOH

Panasonic x70 > Looked nice but was Horrid and bad battery life!

Nokia 6230 > Quality build and worked very well

Sony Ericsson W800i > a walkman.... no... a phone..... ?!!?

Sony Ericsson K800i > James bond style with great 3.2mp camera.

Jesus.

I really never had that many phones.

Hmm, let's see: Sidekick 2, Sidekick 3, Sidekick LX, Sidekick LX 2009 (current phone) and soon to be an Android Device.

Yes, I know. Shame on me for sticking with Sidekick's.

Started off with a Siemens SL55, used that for a while, upgraded to a Sony Ericsson S710a, used that for 3+ years, had an LG CU720 Shine for a few months, and I'm now the proud owner of a Motorola Droid. This thing is AWESOME.

Siren

I can't remember them all.

My first cell was some very primitive Nokia GSM phone back in 2000.
2: Ericsson CF-788 GSM
3: Motorola StarTAC
3: LG somethingorother
4: Samsung SGH-A670 (nice phone)
5: HTC Verizon VX6600 Windows Mobile. Ugh. Was my sole broadband/telecommunications device when I lived in PDX. EVDO ruled. So did Bluetooth tethering with a Mac. Too bad it was just so goshdarn unreliable and would drop the connection if I ever needed to download a big file. Nonetheless I stuck with it for two years.
6: It died on me, and I needed a device capable of Bluetooth tethering on the Verizon EVDO network. After carefully reviewing my options, I went with a RAZR V3m. Great device that served me well.
7: Traded away to an iPhone.
8: Blackberry 8830.
9: Blackberry Bold 9000
10: HTC Fuze
11: Nokia E71
12: DROID

I'm sure I've left maybe 10 out. I still have a RAZR for GSM to eat the rest of my AT&T contract. I'm an unabashed Motorola fan...

superdorf

1) Qualcomm QCP 2700 (sprint)
2) Samsung SCH-400 (I think)
3) Audiovox CDM-8000
4) Motorola Shark v2260
5) Motorola v260
6) Nokia 5100
7) Nokia 3500
8) XV6800 (Windows)
9) PN-820 (windows)
10) SMT-5800 (windows)
coming soon 11) droid

I think I may have missed a couple... I'm not sure. Fun idea.

CranKy

1) Nokia 3310 (I was 8 years old^^)
2) Sony Ericsson K700i
3) Sony Ericsson K700i
4) Motorola Razr 2
5) HTC Tattoo

The Nokia was just a handy without nothing so it wasnt bad or good.
Both handy's of Sony Ericsson were just solid handy's without any bugs or something else.
The Motorola was just the greatest piece of sh!t i ever saw.
The HTC Tattoo has some bugs but its the greatest handy i ever saw.

Jeevo

Arrgh I can't remember the model names/numbers.

The first one I had when i was 16. It was some sony ericsson which had switchable faceplates. Then another Sony phone then a sharp gc10 or something. Then Motorola SLVR and now a BlackBerry Bold.

doomedromance

Motorola V120 (VZW)
Motorola T720 (VZW)
Motorola V600 (T-Mo)
Nokia 3250 Xpress Music Unlocked(T-Mo)
Motorola Q9m (VZW)

FireRunner

I've had too many to recall, since 1999 I've had almost one new phone a year. Recently though it's been the BB Curve, BB Flip, BB 8900 Curve, BB Tour, and iPhone. I've also had the Sony Ericsson walkman phone which was nice and small, but didn't have enough media for me.

spicygadgets

I had only few ones because of very less use.

All were basic phones, but planning to buy Motorola Driod

Nokia 1100
Nokia 2312

And Now Samsung - Do not remember model no but yes this one is sliding phone.

mrqs

siemens c45 fantastic phone, can't remember why i wanted to switch

siemens cf62 was good until it developed some problems with incoming calls not coming through, which was the main reason why i switched, tho' i also wanted mp3s on my next phone

sony-ericsson w200i another fantastic phone
switched to android mainly to have 24/7 internet access + planning on dev'ing something

nokia e70 & nokia e71 (work phones i used simultaneously with the sony-ericsson) didn't like either of these; the symbian ui is such a bloody mess, it's impossible to find anything in there
tho' i gotta give props to the e71 hardware - it feels good on hand (until you get to the software side of things) and looks nice too

samsung galaxy (now) so far loving android and hating samsung; seems they've never heard of the "customer support" concept

one hell of a memory

wnajar

That's for sure.

Mine go:

Piece of shit nameless phone, horrible service [AT&T] - no comment

Samsung A930 [Verizon] - weird rotating camera, a big black brick with funny oled screen

LG Chocolate 2 [Verizon] - solid voice/sms phone but not good for much else, could text insanely fast on this and it survived three pools, snow and countless drops, small black brick

Motorola Droid [Verizon] - a bigger black brick, and in my opinion the best android phone on the market right now, makes everything else i had look like shit and does so with a gorgeous screen

I've lusted after many, but only upgrade every 2 or 3 years.

Started in '98 or '99 with some Nokia 9x whatever. Not a terrible phone for the times

After the Matrix came out I NEEDED a phone that shot open like the morpheus cell. Closest I could get was another Nokia phone, it had the sliding cover, but I had to rig the spring action myself. Was the envy of my freinds.

Migrated to LG from there for a few models

Then came the late great razr, even by todays standards, its still a pretty sexy phone, particularly the flat metal keypad with blue lighting.

Then changed to verizon where I got the LG Dare, loved that phone for the year and half that I had it, prolly one of the most customizable dumb phones you can get. Animated wallpaper was the bomb.

Got the droid the week it came out and can't be happier. The one thing that I wish it could do is the animated backgrounds (WTF?) and independant homescreen wallpapers. Otherwise though, looooove this phone.

FupaDroid

crazzzzy phone people!!

i have had cell service for about 6 years now. my list is this:

1)some crappy samsung flip phone that was free when signing with verizon. had it for 5.5 years!!

2) LG voyager which was also free because my friend didnt want it anymore. just got that a few months ago. never going to buy an lg product ever.(cant believe they hyped this thing to be better than the iphone)


looking to get a android phone soooooon

vincentp

I have no idea what all of the models of the phones were, but I'll do my best here.

1. Standard Nokia that had 8.5 billion different colored snap-on fronts available for it. You know the one I mean. Lasted forever.

2. A variety of terrible LG flip phones, none of which lasted more than a few months.

3. LG Chocolate (the first one). It was neat for a while, until all of the touch buttons stopped responding correctly and the screen would scroll maniacally every time I touched one. Lasted about 6 months.

4. Motorola Q. It was the first "smart" phone I ever purchased, but I didn't have a data plan. I didn't really know what I was missing not having the Internet on my phone at the time. Don't know how long it lasted, since I replaced it relatively soon with...

5. Blackberry Pearl. Loved this thing. I bought it used and had it over a year. It still probably would have lasted forever had I not killed it with Sprite one night in a drunken sleep.

6. Blackberry Curve. Bought this to replace my unfortunately deceased Pearl. Liked it a lot better, but the damn screen was scratched to hell within a few weeks used. Still, not much faster or different than the Pearl, it just had a full keyboard. And of course that leads me to...

7. Motorola Droid. By far and away the best phone I've ever used. To compare it to anything else I've had before would be blasphemous. Making the jump from dumbphones to a BB was big enough, the jump from BB to Android was like going from a rowboat to a space shuttle.

digitized

Here's mine

Moto Startac
Moto Timeport - It was like a Startac, only better and silver!!!

I took a break from cell phones after the Timeport

Moto Razr V3 - Torn apart, modded, torn apart and modded again
Sony Ericsson W580i
Moto Droid

I still have them all except for the Startac. She left me one fateful night at a club. It's ok, she was a b!t@$ anyway.

IOWA

HA! I remember having a pager. Everyone thought I was a drug dealer b/c I was in highschool at the time.

messenger13

First phone ... a 1992 nec P201. Can't find a pic anywhere on the net. Looked a lot like that Audiovox Minivox pictured above. I've had a cellphone ever since.

Through the 90s, I stuck with Motorola's. Then I moved to a plethora of LG flip phones. Nothing too special, just phones. When the RAZR came out, I moved back to Motorola a few years back.

The DROID is my first SmartPhone.

The phone in the bold I remember when that one was "new" I had the model previous to that when I was like 10, I remember I used it to play "snake". Ah good times now I have flight simulaters on my phone though rofl. I also remember my moms first cell phone, some sony ericsson made in 1998, the thing was HUGE, it was on Cingular (I chuckle now because its been a while since Ive seen the Cingular commercials). But Ive only really had two working cell phones both Motorola and I like there phones so far.

Me too, kinda a lunch-box like size and layout in 1987-1992? There was no choice of phones or carriers. I was near Chicago, so whatever Illinois Bell was called back then (Ameritech?) was the carrier, and I imagine the company paid $150 / mo for not very much airtime.

then another Motorola, but handheld, the size of a walkie-talkie

then since 95 a new phone every 2 years:

Nokias thru 2000. not very impressive, I'd never recommend one.
Motorola flips. decent battery life, OK quality, not many features
Samsung SCH- something, pretty good phones
PalmTreo 700 - able to carry just this instead of my PDA and separate phone.
Treo 755p
Now a Motorola a855 "DROID", hopefully breaking loose of proprietary data formats and "desktop software".

- Nokia 3390 (Voicestream and tmobile branded models)
- Nokia 3595 (first color screen phone I had - whoohoo!!)
- Nokia 6010 (I didn't realize it was the same phone as the 3595 with a different keypad)
- Motorola v300 (I had to get my own phone number since it was free with a new activation - customized it till it died)
- Motorola v635 (my first unlocked phone - gave it to my Mom and she destroyed it - women)
- Nokia 6133 (wish I didn't sell this phone for the SLVR)
- Motorola SLVR (It stopped working after a year's use - it had the "WSOD" (White Screen of Death))
- Sony Ericsson S710a (had to borrow my cousin's SIM card to make sure it worked when I bought it used, got it unlocked by a friend the next day)
- ATT Fuze (first phone I bought unlocked over $500 and my first smartphone)
- Nokia 5310 (Bought this phone since I didn't like using a touchscreen phone without looking at the phone)
- T-mobile MyTouch (just got it this past Saturday - sold my soul - I mean, got into a 2 year contact for it
(hey, there's a reason why I didn't change from T-mobile for over 8 years - they're good.)

(that's atleast a new phone every year since I had a cell phone number - this year had the most phone upgrades with the last three)

(yes, I'm a member of hofo)
