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.
