Bricks:

Nokia 5110
Nokia 3210
Nokia 3310
Ericsson A2618
Siemens S35
Alcatel One Touch 311
Sony Ericsson W550

Smartphones:

HTC Touch Pro
(WinMobile 6.5)
Motorola Milestone
(Android 2.2)
Sony Xperia P
(Android 2.3 - 4.1)
Sony Z1 Compact
Sony Z5 Compact

Honestly I'm still satisfied with the Z1c, it still performs well for everything (however I don't really game on mobile)! Only reason I have a Z5c is cause they threw it at me at work.
 
Motorola Razr
iPhone 3G
iPhone 4
iPhone 5S * current
LG Volt * current (free Ringplus service)

Honestly I never see myself buying an iPhone ever again. This piece of shit $30 on sale Android phone and my gf's Galaxy opened my eyes to the Apple Koolaid I drank long ago.

Also Tmobile $30 unlimited data/txt, 100 minutes talk plan FTW!
 
Galaxy S3
Galaxy S7

Was considering going to iPhone earlier this year as my S3 has been very sluggish, the headphone jack busted, and the battery life (even with a new one put in a year earlier) was getting worse and worse.
 
HTC Desire
Sony Xperia S
Sony Xperia T
iPhone 5C

will most likely get an iPhone 6S in 2 motnhs when my contract expires
 
Palm Pre (sprint)
Dell Venue Pro (t-mo)
Lumia 920 (AT&T)
iPhone 6 (t-mo)


The only apps I use are citibank (which I can live without) and robinhood (much harder to part with). I'd love to go back to a lumia phone but they've also been kinda crappy the past few revisions compared to the golden age of the line a few years back. Hope a good surface phone can get made, otherwise I'd like to check out a Moto X or something.
 
iPhone
iPhone 3GS
Motorola Atrix
Nexus 4
Nexus 5
Nexus 6

I really wish the Atrix had worked out. I still want something like it. It was garbage as a full computer but it was, at the time, more powerful than most smart phones.
 
Sony Ericsson K750
HTC Hero
Samsung Galaxy S2
Google Nexus 5
Meizu Mx 5

I'm very happy with all the phones, I changed them when I wan't not when they broke.
 
Samsung Galaxy S
Nokia 525 (Win mobile)
Nokia 635 (Win mobile)
Moto G 2nd gen

$400 total for those ($200 for the Galaxy S used). I pay around $100/year for T-mobile prepaid.
 
1998 - First cell phone... Nokia Black/White screen. Upgraded in 2000.

2003-2008 Motorola Razr

2008-2016

2016-?:
I finally bit the bullet and got a smart phone a month ago:
Droid Maxx 2. It's a pretty great phone for the price, and Best Buy had an amazing deal going on
Motorola-DROID-MAXX-2-Review-TI.jpg
 
iPhone 3GS
Nokia Lumia 920
iPhone 5s
iPhone 6s

I'm on that apple lease program thingy now so I guess ill be getting every (non plus) iPhone from here on out until someone decides to catch up.

Strongly considering the 5SE but it'll all depend on specs and battery. I'll probably just stick with my 6s until the 7's out.
 
T-Mobile Sidekick
Samsung Blackjack
iPhone
iPhone 3s
iPhone 4s
iPhone 5s
iPhone 6s+


It kinda sucks being on the "s" upgrade cycle for the iphones but that's how it goes for OG iPhone owners.
 
Moto RAZR (aw yis)
iPhone 3GS (The reason I now hate Apple)
Samsung Infuse
Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy S5

Samsung 4 lyfe
 
Sony Ericsson P900
Motorola RAZR Pink
LG Shine Chrome
HTC HD2 (regretted until I discovered XDA and put Android on it)
Nexus 4 Black 8gb
Nexus 5 White 16gb
Nexus 6P Silver 32gb
 
T-Mobile Sidekick Slide (RIP Danger)
T-Mobile G1 - 2009/2010
Blackberry Bold - 2010
Some kind of Lumia - 2012
iPhone 5 32gb - 2012
iPhone 6 Plus 32gb - 2014
iPhone 6S Plus 64gb - 2015

The iPhone 6S Plus is definitely the favorite, with the iPhone 5 as a close second. Couldn't stand the original 6 Plus, or the G1 for that matter.
 
O2 xdaii mini (a PocketPC - does this count?)

HTC Wildfire S (screen wigged out after two years)

Lenovo K650 (donated to my assistant)

Sony Xperia Z Ultra (still my favorite phone ever. Presently being used by my fiancee)

iPhone 5S (free handset from telco. Lasted two weeks, sold it)

Sony Xperia C5 Ultra (crappier than the XZUltra, despite being newer. broke after 5 months, no warranty as import unit)

Starmobile Up Ultra (phone I am using to type this, a temp value for money phone)

I sort of want to get another Xperia Z Ultra. Dat big screen, I miss it so. :-(
 
G1
My Touch 3g
(I Swear there was something here but I don't remember)
iPhone 4
iPhone 5
iPhone 6
 
I didnt get into the smartphone game until 2010. I was pretty late to the party on that one.

HTC Legend
BlackBerry Bold 9790
BlackBerry Q5 (Work supplied)
LG G4 (What I'm currently typing this on)

I've been all over the board. I kinda miss my BlackBerry.

One year before degradation is considered impressive lifespan for smartphone batteries? Honest question because I've only had a smartphone for 3 months. Before that my 6 year old dumb phone still held a 2 week charge.

I was speaking more to OS bloat consuming more battery life as time progresses. A common sentiment I hear is "my smartphone battery can't hold a charge anymore!" which I find is actually caused by power-hungry OS updates more than batter lifespans physically dwindling.
 
Blackberry Pearl
Samsung Fascinate
Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy S4

I'm back to the Nexus since the S4's screen broke. I can upgrade in two months thankfully.
