My phone history:
1st phone - 2001 - Motorola Timeport Triband. It was a very good equiped phone in that time (voice dialing, voice recording..) but it was rubbish, battery lasted for 2-3 days maximum.
http://images.vnunet.com/v7_images/hardware/large/bg_motorola02.gif

2nd phone - 2003 - Nokia 7210 - yay! The first phone with a color display!
http://reptelonlinestore.com/loja/images/Nokia_7210.jpg

3rd phone - 2005 - Nokia 6610, after I've broken the previous one
http://www.mobilesdata.com/images/big/Nokia/6610i.jpg

4th phone - 2007 - Nokia N73, 2GB mini-sd card. Originally I wanted to use it as my mp3 player, but as you can use only the original headset and the fact that the phone is too complicated, too slow and too crashy I replaced it after only 6 months of use. Although I still use it as my sat-nav. I installed the TomTom application on it and bought the Nokia GPS bluetooth receiver.
http://freduardo.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/nokia_n73.jpghttp://www.navigadget.com/wp-content/postimages/2006/02/nokia343.jpg

5th phone - Christmas 2007 - iPhone 8GB. Too big, but I like it like that, easy to use and its got my music and I can plug in my favorite earphones images/smilies/smile.gif

Nokia 3360, shortly after I got my license at age 16. It was free with a contract from AT&T:

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5264/17413pdigo8.gif

After moving to Saudi Arabia and starting uni, I bought a 6670 (unlocked, as all phones here are):

http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/2769/nokia6670ci4.jpg

Last May, I gave the 6670 to my sister and moved up to an N82:

http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/6093/03n82270x485mi3.jpg

They were each bought about 3 years apart from each other (and each one was more expensive than the last images/smilies/blush.gif), and the difference in features between them is staggering.

My phones over a 7 year period

1) 3310: (best phone ever)

http://mobiltelefon.ru/i/other/march/28/nokia_3310.jpg

2) 3510: (just another 3310 realy)

http://www.global-b2b-network.com/direct/dbimage/50177258/Nokia_3510.jpg

3) SE T300: (what was I thinking...)

http://z.about.com/d/cellphones/1/0/X/B/sony_ericsson_t300.jpg

4) MC60 (worst...screen...ever...)

http://www.melodiasmoviles.com/graficos/galeria/SIEMENS-MC60.jpg

5) Motorola V550 (kick ass screen, kick ass cam)

http://www.actu-mobile.com/motorola/339-motorola-v550.jpg

6) Samsung E900 (current back-up phone, still good)

http://www.mentje.com/E900.jpg

7) My current one (since 2 days) Nokia N78

http://www.mymemory.co.uk/images/memory-selector/products/1205242951.jpg

Its ok, should have gone with the N82 because the build quality of the N78 is SHIT, its sqeeks en moves about way to much. But still, Symbian S60V3, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, nice cam. So its all good images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Moto C520 which i put a transparant blue case on. images/smilies/sad.gif

http://www.tweedehands.net/pics/00/00/55/27/99/1c.jpg


Moto V50.
http://bmwcarphone.com/silverv50s.jpg

1st one decided to have no signal after a week, the replacement the screen disappeared the 3rd one was perfect.
(I payed £180 for this, which sucked because i was earning £60 a week.) images/smilies/biggrin.gif



Moto C350.
http://www.mobilesdata.com/images/big/Motorola/C350.jpg

1st one, i forget what broke... but something did.
The replacement was fine.


Moto L6.
http://www.mobile88.com/gen/prodspics/motorola/l6/l6_6.jpg
Was ok, not brilliant.



The V50 is my Eleanor, it's a still looks awesome but has 0 features.



p.s. I now refuse to own a mobile, because people are idiots... "R U OK?" "How R U?".

Just call me you f***** c****.

My first was an Ericsson A1018s, bought it with a prepaid card for like 250 DM (~ 130 Euros), one week later it dropped to 175 DM...
http://www.ingo-wandel.de/temp/a1018.jpg

Then I got a Bosch 909 Dual S - blue lighting makes happy (I know, it doesn't show in the picture but trust me, the display and the buttons were blue backlit) images/smilies/wink.gif

http://www.ingo-wandel.de/temp/bosch.jpg

Afterwards I signed a contract which included a Siemens SL65 but I traded it for an S65 since I wanted the S65 but there was no decent contract including an S65.

http://www.ingo-wandel.de/temp/s65.jpg

My fourth and current phone is a BenQ-Siemens S68 which is perfect for me - I can phone, text some SMS's and have an appointment calendar in it, that's enough, I don't need camera, MP3-player, Word viewer and such things. I even bought another one from ebay if that one would fail so I don't have to search for a new one when the day comes. images/smilies/wink.gif

I just got my first mobile phone! So my history won't be long images/smilies/tongue.gif

Samsung U410

http://i36.tinypic.com/ibml8n.jpghttp://i36.tinypic.com/2h54fi8.jpghttp://i38.tinypic.com/v3gfnq.jpg

As it is the only mobile I owned, I don't have much to complain about. It makes phone calls, thats enough for me.

Ok so here goes:

http://www.abantucommunications.com/catalog/images/nokia_6610.jpg
I loved this phone. So reliable and the styling was nice.

http://www.cellulargadget.com/v220.jpg
Worst phone out of the bunch. First the camera failed (freezes at loading screen), then the inside screen and then the outside screen. Sent to Motorola to fix it. Got it back and the camera only lasted one day..

http://www.compareindia.com/media/images/2007/sep/img_20831_moto_razr_v3.jpg
I had good times with this phone. Dropped from 5 feet onto concrete. Put the battery back in, and turned right on.

http://www.cellphonedigest.net/images/SAMSUNG%20Black%20Jack%20large.PNG
First smart phone. Didn't like the big bulge of a camera. Decent phone. Lagged a lot.

http://finfacts.ie/artman/uploads/2/iphoneJune102008.jpg
Current phone. Considered now to be my best phone of the bunch.
