Ooooh, loads:
Started off in 1999 with an Ericsson A1018 Great little phone, especially the the long thin screen which was great turned sideways for the built in tetris game

then moved onto a Samsung M100, another nice little handset, Polyphonic ringtones and a extendable swishy little ariel

After that I picked myself up a Nokia 8310

which died exactly 1 day after its warranty expired and was replaced with the worst mobile phone I've ever owned and possibly the worst mobile ever made the Sony Ericsson T68i this was the phone made famous for introducing the please wait hourglass to mobile telephony

The day I was due an upgrade that was replaced with a Nokia 7250

which I swapped with my boss for a Nokia 7250i

This was eventually ousted by my Sendo X a natty little (if thick) smartphone from a plucky little British company who went into receivership not much later

Now that phones were getting cleverer I had had my eye on a Windows Mobile handset and ended up getting an Orange SPV C500 (A.K.A. HTC Typhoon) This was all good and lasted me a while but Orange's idea of mobile data charging was to bend you over and forget about the the lube so I moved onto the

Sony Ericsson W950 on 3 who were offering unlimited data for an extra £5 a month on their tarrifs, while not a brilliant phone this was ok, however the crappy keypad eventually annoyed me so much I headed off to ebay and picked up a cheap

Sony Ericsson P990 which was a good if chunky handset and lasted me a while until Apple sorted themselves out and finally joined the rest of the phone manufacturers in this 3G stuff and I got my current

iPhone 3G

Meanwhile for work phones I went through a few incarnations:
First off was the Nokia 6822

Quickly replaced with a Blackberry 7210

Followed by the BlackBerry 7100V

Then my first BlackBerry Bold which lasted 46 days before I dropped my laptop on it cracking the screen which was an awkward conversation with the boss to say the least

As an emergency replacement I picked up another Blackberry 7210

Then Borrowed a BlackBerry Curve 8310 until my second BlackBerry Bold finally arrived

When I left there I kept the handset but needed a SIM to go with it so picked up the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 which it sitting on my bookshelf as a backup at the moment.

So 19 so far (that I can remember) and I've got my eye on the Palm Pre in March maybe.
