Nokia N900. Brilliant as a device, lacking as a phone, as big as a brick . With Nokia in the background making a mess of things
Still playing with it, but I needed something closer to a phone to carry around. Hence the Desire.

KC910 (Renoir) here too. Charging for tomorrow right now, Desire is in the post. Never had the battery issues. Generally better since I flashed a custom ROM which got rid of a load of fluff so it did just about everything quicker (also updated the SW which Orange UK never got around to doing, which fixed a load of bugs). Web browser is still surprisingly good up to now, with only over complicated (usually pointless) use of JS making it trip up (only 140MHz and 100mb RAM, bless).
More usable with amAze (while it still worked for free) and GMail Java apps.
Camera is 8mp but even on the highest settings it still crushes every picture into a JPEG 1.8mb max, so it tends to look like a 3-5mp picture that's been blown up.
Nokia 5800. I had a good time with it, and it still serves as my second phone and satnav (yes, Ovi Maps works better than Google Maps for navigation, especially if coverage is iffy)
Palm Centro, after a long history if using other Palm devices.
I always imagined that it would be very difficult to ween myself off of PalmOS, but have been pleasantly surprised how easy it has been with Android. Though I do miss the simple yet brilliant PalmOS PIM (how difficult can it be for other platforms to create an equally good PIM?)...
Nokia N96...Loved that phone for all its quirks but didn't realise how cheap and creaky it felt until I got my gorgeous shiny Desire...Very happy boy but still got my n96 just incase
The HTC Desire is my first smartphone. Prior to this I've always had traditional mobile phones and the one I had for a couple of years before the Desire was a Sony Ericsson K770i.
N95 it's been a great phone, reliable but not without it's quirks (reboots and hangs at odd times). Has a great camera hope the desire's camera is as good.
Replacing the N95 as it's 3 years old and lived it's live well, battery no longer holds charge for a whole day, case is held together with sticky tape, chrome is worn off the buttons, bezel around the screen is creamy/while where all the paint is worn away etc... in other word all the signs of a phone that was used regularly for 3 years.
The desire will be my first non Nokia, I haven't got mine yet, should be Monday. I hope I won't be disappointed, from the amount of good reviews I don't expect I will be.
HTC Tytn II Windows phone with slide and tilt keyboard. Not a bad phone at all - and Windows Mobile is still better at syncing with Outlook on your desktop, and syncing music if you use Windows Media Player.
Nokia n95, got m85 had it for about 4 month sold and reverted back to n95, got iPhone 3g, still had n95 as iPhone was not good enough, saw desire fell in love and passed my iPhone to my brother, and sold n95, n95 was brilliant until the desire. Nokia had its days.
A 3 year old SE K800i. It had gotten to the stage of not staying turned on if it got knocked. Crashing. And generally being nearly useless. I loved it though.
