I don't buy phones very often, seems like a waste of money to me to always need the newest especially with how expensive phones are.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Nokia 3310
HTC Desire
Samsung Galaxy S3
LG G4

I'm due a new one this year, and it's going to be hard because I've always gone for models with replaceable batteries, which don't seem to be a thing anymore.

Besides a cheap Motorola phone my mom got me when I was a teen, my first real cell phone was an IPhone 4S.

After that I had a IPhone 5C briefly before getting an IPhone 5S.

My current phone is an IPhone 6 and my next phone will be the IPhone X

Will probably look at upgrading to Pixel 3. Definitely plan on staying on the stock Android train.
 
Nokia... something, it was a flip phone. Great one btw.

Xperia x10 Mini (So awesome ;_;)

Xperia ZR.

iPhone 4 (I know)

Xperia Z1, awesome piece of tech that got waaaay too hot under certain circumstances.

iPhone 6, disgusting piece of crap. But it has survived some nasty impacts, so I'll give it a huge pass.

Looking at Xperia X, or maybe a Xiaomi after I'm done with the iPhone.

I have a special place in my heart for the 3390. I loved being able to program ringtones into it. Who was the cool kid at high school with "Cruel Angel's Thesis" as a ringtone? This guy...

Absolutely love it. Easily the best phone I've had, and the price is excellent for what you get (mine was $440 for the 64GB one brand new). The dash charging is a huge perk. I never need to charge it overnight, just plug it up for a half hour while I'm getting ready for work in the morning and it's already got a day's charge on it. And a fully charged battery lasts about a day and a half of regular use.

The only things I don't like about it is how easily it slides out of my hand and how hard & rectangular the corners are, but I'm thinking of getting a dbrand skin or a thicker case to help with that. I originally got one of the official OnePlus cases since I loved the design, but it turned out to be a lot flimsier than I expected, and doesn't help much with the grip.

Everything about the phone itself screams high quality though, from the physical build quality, to the snappy Android software, to the camera. It really does feel like a flagship phone, and I'm not even a little bit disappointed with it so far.

Awesome. It really seems like midrange / budget phones are catching up to the flagships in a lot of ways. Depending on just how expensive the Pixel 2 is (and I'm sure it's gonna be expensive) I might just go with a OnePlus and call it a day.
 
First one was Sony Ericsson K750i.
It was quite good, but i only used it for Calls, SMS and taking some pictures.
I accidentally destroyed it by putting it in a glass of water, when I was super stoned.

Second one was the Wiko Rainbow Smartphone.
It was ok in the beginning, but sucked after a few months. Cheap build quality, super fast dying battery life. It eventually just stopped working. Never intent to buy a wiko again.

My newest and recent Smartphone is the Huawei Honor 7, and i am still quite impressed.
Nice build quality for a mid range smartphone and still good battery life after a few months.
Everything still works nice and fast.
 
BlackBerry Curve 9320 (First phone)
BlackBerry Z30

BlackBerry 10 was an improvement over the Curve, but the jump to my iPhone is incredible. I am so locked in now lol.

Nokia 5185i - 2001-2002ish Hand me down from my dad with the pull out antenna and everything.

Nokia 3310 - 2002-2007ish I know it's a meme now but I used that phone for probably 5-6 years.

Motorola W180/Nokia 2680 - 2007-2010, had them around the same time, not sure which was first.

iPhone 4 - 2010-2013 Finally decided to splurge on a smart phone and not just whatever was free/cheap. Brought me into the smart phone world and was my ol trusty for years.

Nokia Lumia 920 - 2013-2015 Looked so damn good and quirky I had to have one.

Nexus 6 - 2015-now Bought it spur of the moment when I saw one in the store and they said they would price match after the price dropped to $350 like July/August 2015. Material design was so aesthetic and I instantly loved the feel of a big phone/screen (920 was probably just as or more chunky itself).

Still have them all and they all work, although the battery is pretty much dead on the iPhone and some others. The 920 also heats up to scary levels sometimes.

Some sort of flip phone with a camera (?)
Motorola Razr v3 (2004)
Sony Ericsson k800i (2006)
XDA Trion (2006, also known as HTC Hermes. My first smartphone, running Windows Mobile)
Sony Ericsson k800i (2007, ditched the HTC and went back to this phone)
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (2009)
HTC Desire (2010, my first Android phone)
Samsung Galaxy S3 (2012)
Sony Xperia Z1 (2013)
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (2014)

Hoping for the S7 Edge to last as long as possible.
 
Nokia 3210
Some piece of crap from a maker I havent heard of since with a color screen that was bundled with a DVD copy of The Fast and the Furious.
Motorola RAZR (dropped it in siggy sand and it was never the same)
Whatever the skinner model of the Motorola RAZR was
Some random pre-android, carrier branded touch screen phone that was terrible.
HTC Wildfire

Motorola was the worse, by far. I was probably happiest with Nokia, with iPhone 7 coming in second with a strong chance of becoming #1.
