I actually managed to remember all of my phones! Now with pictures!
(2001) My first mobile was the
Nokia 5110 (or one of its variants; it could have been the 5190).
(2003) I replaced it with a
Sony Ericsson T68i. I even bought the (then-optional) camera add-on for it -- this snapped to the bottom of the phone, and was a mere 0.25 megapixels. (Of course, this was well over 10 years ago...)
(2005) Eventually, I got rid of the T68i and replaced it with a
Nokia N-Gage QD. I kept this for far longer than is reasonable, and probably owned over 30 games for it by the time I stopped using it.
(2007) After the N-Gage, I got my first 'smartphone'. This was still pre-iOS and Android days, which meant all the devices were either Symbian, Windows Mobile or Blackberry (all of which weren't particularly 'smart' by modern standards). My phone of choice was the
Blackberry Curve 8310. By the standards of the day it was pretty decent, but modern smartphones are much, much better.
(2009) My next phone was my first dabbling into modern smartphones, though it was a pretty poor introduction. I bought the
Motorola Cliq. If you don't know much about it, it was an Android phone developed around 'social' applications. It also never got an official upgrade beyond Android 2.0 in any reasonable timeframe, and the underpowered hardware meant that the phone was always running at a crawl.
(2010) Before my contract even ended, I replaced it with a first gen
iPhone that a coworker gave me. I was using it in an unsupported manner on T-Mobile (it was originally an AT&T device), but it worked way better than the Cliq did.
(2010) My next phone was the
Samsung Galaxy S (in the T-Mobile variant, the
Vibrant). This was the first mobile phone I actually loved, rather than tolerated. I'm still mighty fond of it, even today.
(2011) The Galaxy S was replaced with a
HTC Rezound, which I picked up when I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon. It was big, bulky and hard to root (and my first one got run through the washing machine(!)), but it wasn't the worst phone ever.
(2013) Finally, I swapped the Rezound with my current phone, a
Samsung Galaxy S4. Much like the original Galaxy S I had, I like this phone quite a bit. I was able to root it, which gave it the flexibility of my previous two phones, but (of course) it has a lot more power under the hood.
