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.

Duplicates aren't switching back to the same device btw, it's actually getting a different device, albeit the same model, but often a different color or variant.

~2004 - Nokia N-Gage. It was given to me by my godparent as a birthday present. I still have that phone, the battery won't even last a day in standby, even with a new battery, but it still works.

 

At some point had different phones that I didn't own, but were either father's old ones, or mother's old ones. I only remember one of them being a flip

phone. Didn't use those for long before turning back to N-Gage.

 

2010 - 2012 (I don't remember exactly) - Samsung Galaxy 553 (i5510). My first smartphone, given by my godparent (again) as he got himself a newer phone. It also recently died, probably due to flash memory running out of write cycles. It was low AF, but had a physical QWERTY keyboard.

2013 - 2014 (?) - Samsung Galaxy XCover 2 (S7710). Godparent (yet again) gave it to me, as he upgraded yet again from that to S4. Right now I have it loaned by my little sister, as she needed a smartphone for cheap. She has a habit of dropping them often, so the XCover 2 actually was a good choice for her. She dislikes the gray color of it, but at least she hasn't managed to break it yet.

2014 - Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100). First phone that I actually bought with my own money. Got it second-handed. Rooted, but never installed a custom ROM (so stuck with TouchWiz skin of Android 4.1.2)

2015 - Sony Xperia Z1. Second phone that I bought, and also my first smartphone that isn't a Sammie. Second-hand acquired too, battery is a little worse than on the S2, but other than that, much better that that lagfest the S2 was. Not rooted, but I don't feel like I need to (has Sony's skin of Android 5.0.3, has only very little issues).

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

I too would of had a longer list till I decided to invest going  through transitioning into the PC master race group over console "potato". Right now I would of bought the S6 Edge then would of resold it by September for Apple's flagship, then possibly the next nexus.

- Crappy flip phone

- Crappy flip phone

- Slider phone (remember the ones with the slide out keyboard? That was the kind of phone I had)

- Blackberry Curve

- iPhone 4 32GB

- iPhone 5C 16GB

- LG G3 32GB

 

From the crappy flip phones to the slider phone, my parents paid for. The reset down I paid for myself (either on tab, similar to contracts, or bought straight out).

I can't remember what brand/model of the flip phones or the slider phone, was 5-6 years ago.
