Mobile phone history
All my phones have been company phones so I have never technically owned one.
I have always been able to choose my phones which has been great fun, although I have learned from my mistakes as a result.
1998 - Motorola pager clear yep it was a pager, but I hated mobile phones
2001 - Nokia 6110, I was tricked into having it, but it was a company phone and they stole my pager.
2002 - Nokia 8210 next upgrade, cost free from the company I work for.
2003 - Nokia 7250 Silver a great solid phone which I got a new silver case for it, gave it to my daughter.
2004 - Sony CMD 27 I still have this phone, its orange screen and ability to use your recordings as ringtones was great. The sound quality from this phone was ahead of its time.
2005 - Sony Ericsson T68i This was my first colour phone, and I could not wait to get rid of it.
At this point I have started working for a Mobile phone software developer, their main customer was Nokia, Thus I had access to the rage of all their latest mobile phones.
2007 - LG KE970 Shine This was a lesson on never believe the hype. yes you could watch videos but only in portrait mode, yes i did play music but you needed an adapter to use normal headphones, and yes you could put a memory card in it but you could not watch videos directly from it. nope it was crap.
2011 - Vertu Ascent Ferrari This was a gift from a Ex, a very nice phone but I just could not see the screen I gave it back when we split up. Now that I know its real price I should have kept it lol.
2011 - Nokia 9500 Communicator great phone still have it, I love peoples faces when I take it out and pop it on the table.
2010 - iPhone 3GS 16GB white New company phone, worked for software developer to make software for the Nokia at the time, yep the company are now dead but the contract is still going. I sold the phone as a friend wanted one.
2010 - Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold still a great dress phone for weddings and special occasions I will never get rid of it.
2012 - iPhone 4s 16GB white I was given this phone as the contract is still going, so I get a new phone every 2 years. I still have it.
2014 - iPhone 5s 16GB Gold Yep still getting a new phone every 2 years lol bring on the next one. now looking forward to the next free iPhone, life is good. I use my old phone as a media controller for my iTunes music server.
