Post Whore

I'm curious to see what phones everyone here has had in the past, and what they have now. You can also include any notes on why you bought whatever phone if you like.

Here's my "phone timeline":

Samsung Z230
This was the first cell phone I ever had, my mom got it for me for my 18th birthday, even though I was very reluctant to get a phone because I enjoyed being hard to get a hold of as a teenager.

Blackberry Pearl 8100
A few months after having my first cell phone, my girlfriend at the time convinced me to get a blackberry, because BBM was the thing back in 2008.

Blackberry Bold 9000
This was the first cellphone I ever got excited about. I bought a preproduction model off craigslist for $500 before it was released to the public. It was a fucking tank of a phone and lasted me years. One night I got super drunk with some friends and tossed it in the bushes so we could go pool hopping. When I came back for it less than an hour later it was gone.

HTC Legend
This was my introduction to touchscreen phones and Android OS. When I first got it, it kept unlocking in my pocket and calling people. Eventually the screen glitched out on me and about half the time it was unusable. I never warrantied it with HTC because I'm lazy.

iPhone 3GS
After my HTC crapped out on me I was given this from another GF who upgraded to the iPhone 4. It did the job but wasn't anything to get excited about.

HTC Raider/Vivid
This is my current phone and the biggest one yet. I have to admit that I've been converted to the bigger is better camp, especially if you want to do any kind of web browsing on your device. I'm really satisfied with many aspects of this phone, but it is starting to feel a bit dated, and I'm getting serious phone envy from my gf's nexus 4.

So that's my phone timeline, what's yours?

Finally somebody here older than 18. Pretty sure that was the most popular phone of the early 2000's. And it had the orginal snake game.

Ridiculous

This is everything I can remember but I know I'm missing one or two:

^This one I found after a night out. I was walking home in the rain and it was lying in the street. No back to it, no SIM. I tried to get it back to the owner but couldn't. Kept it for a few months then sold it for about $100.

Can't imagine life without an iPhone now.

First I had this when i was like 9 or something.

Then I got this badboy.

This was the first phone I ever broke and the only one to this day, 100 pieces after cork 270 of a box to ice with the phone between my ass and the ice.

Then this.

Then I got this from my brother when he dropped it in the snow and someone found it 2 weeks later, he had already bought the iphone 4s.
That piece of shit had a battery life of 2 hours on standby.

And now I have this awesome thing.

my first phone, late 2006, just started 6th grade. it had a colored screen I was so stoked. i remember there was a snowboard game on there and when I spun it would say HELICOPTER!! fun times

nokia 6010

2009, this on tracfone. omg it has a camera! I was sad that it was not a slider though.

late 2010, SLIDER! TOUCHSCREEN!

2011, motorola's first droid. I had android b4 it was cool... it was truckin along until the screen got wet this past summer. I was sad.. development is still going on for this phone and they got jellybean working on it, pretty awesome

2012, galaxy nexus. It's still the best phone I've used to date. i got that super rare white one, trill as fuck

late 2012, s3, not that impressed with it. it's got the specs and all but touchwiz makes it so noobish

traded in the s3 for cash, now back to using the nexus.

i've had a ton of phones

back when I was like 10

some time after

got this in like 5th grade, I was beyond stoked,

then i started losing them so i had quite a few

then this magical phone, which was expensive at the time and futuristic looking. My mom got pissed when i left it at the skatepark and got stolen. I was about 15 around 2007.
