Post your first-current phone

[jeffmorr]

I just want to know how you guys evolved cell-phone wise. My first phone was the Nokia 6265i, then I got an LG Chocolate Flip, then I used some random old LG phone, because both my other ones had broken. Later, I got a LG Venus, and finally, I got a HTC Hero. All these phones were from TELUS, and were over the course of 3 (plus a few months) years (one 3 year contract, plus the first few months of my new 3 year contract from my HTC Hero)

[Kronk86]

Here are some of the phones I had in chronological order:

Nokia 5190, Vtech A700, Audiovox 8900, Audiovox 8920T, Motorola Razr V3, Motorola Q (black), HTC S720 (Libra), Blackberry Curve 8330, Nokia E71, Blackberry Storm, iPhone 16Gig 3GS, Blackberry Bold 9700.

Now I do have quite the collection of phones. Those are just the ones I used on a regular basis. I have the MyTouch 3G Fender, the Nokia N97 Mini Bronze CE, Nokia N900, Nokia 8800 CE etc... Those are phone's I don't use regularly.

That is my cell phone evolution :)

^ holy - when did you get your fist cell phone?

[andre66]

last phone was a blackberry pearl and the current phone is the palm pre. The WebOS is great for my uses and i like the convenience of the touchstone for charging. Thinking about getting another touchstone, one for bedside and another for downstairs.

[Kronk86]

^ holy - when did you get your fist cell phone?

I believe I was 13.

[cracked]

^ yikes - no Nintendo for you! Went straight to a cell!

[davidA]

My first phone came compliments of Cantel (now Rogers) and it lived in a box, I carried it around in my company truck. Next came an early portable model from BC Cellular (now Telus) that clipped to my belt and hung down to my knee. Both of these were Analog phones (I forget the model numbers) After I retired I had to start buying my own cell phones.......... sigh.

[scorpio]

1. Some purple Rogers phone (TDMA i think, maybe GSM)
2. Rogers - Samsung X426
3. Telus - Samsung A840
4. Telus - LG Keybo
5. Telus - iPhone 8gig (current)

[alexflint]

I can't even remember all the phones i've used, here's some of them:

Nokia 6620, Blackberry 7280, 7290, 8700, 8100, 8310, 9000, 9700, iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS. Uhh.... LG Eve, HTC Dream.

Those are just the ones that stand out. I've had many feature phones in between all the smartphones. Right now I use the a 16GB White 3GS and a BB 9700, Both on Bell.

[demobot]

Oh man, my first phone was a bar phone from Bell. My current phone is a Samsung S8300 Ultra Touch unlocked on Fido.

[Jake Storm]

- a couple (4) Motorola flip phones
- Blackberry 8310
- Apple iphone 3G
- Blackberry Storm2

The Storm2 rocks :cool: can't wait for the Storm3 :)

[ruudabaga]

Clearnet PCS phone @ $149.99!!! (late 90's ?)

[Windstorm]

My first phone was a Motorola Razr V3C on Telus. Nothing fancy but it got the job done. After a couple years I switched to an HTC Titan on Bell. The phone turned out to be way too bulky and sluggish, and I realized I don't really need a smart phone. I usually have internet somewhere near me, so it was a waste. I also had a lot of problems with Bell; dropped calls, missing texts. I currently use a Samsung Intensity on Koodo. Does what I need it to do at a cheap price.

[jbking]

Back in December of 2007, I got a LG Chocolate which was my first phone. I thought I had lost it and got a Chocolate Flip early in 2008. Had those until last week when I decided to get a Motorola Backflip.

[dustin.27]

Hi i'm new to the forum but I've always been with sasktel and i started out with a RAZR then an LG Rumor, then a Blackberry curve 8330, and finally a Blackberry Bold 9700!

[Lumpkin]

First phone - some crappy old pay as you go Audiovox phone with Virgin Mobile

[puckshock]

Currently rockin an LG IQ from Telus. Thanksgiving deal ftw.

[lmooro]

[brwmstr]

First phone - some crappy old pay as you go Audiovox phone with Virgin Mobile
and many, many, many phones later I now have a Samsung Fascinate.

that's how I started too! Audiovox flip phone on Virgin (forget model no, but it didn't even have a camera)

Then I went to the Samsung r610 slider on Bell

When the screen crapped out on that a few months ago, I grabbed an HTC legend on Bell

Next phone? Who knows what phones will look like in two years when I'm up for my next hardware upgrade

[Stuntman]

First phone is the generic Clearnet phone around 1998.

Then I moved to the generic Fido phone around 2003 ish?

Upgraded to Nokia 6126. Best clam shell phone ever. Just push a button and it flips open like the Star Trek TOS communicator. Got it around 2006 ish?

Then my first foray into the world of smartphones is the Nokia N97. Got it in March 2010. This is the worse smartphone ever made. Had to deal with software failing every day. Got fed up with it last month.

So in November 2010, I got the HTC Desire Z. Simply awesome.

[cody6695]

some kind of Audiovox, LG chocolate, LG chocolate flip, LG shine, LG neon, LG Xenon, LG BL40 and now going to a Desire Z until 2Ghz dual processor's come.
Started on Bell, then switched to Telus.

[AbsoluteDark]

Started with the old Nokia 3*** model, LG 5226 and then went to Samsung Slyde.

[Luke]

first phone was a crappy samsung phone, can't remember which model it was though. Now i have an iPhone 3GS, but it's getting pretty beat up so i'm planning to upgrade to a new android phone.

[DannyJLG]

First phone was an Audivox flip phone with Telus, then moved to a Samsung U510 slider, now on to my Milestone.

The samsung slider I had looked kinda like that u510

[ThirteenGreen]

I started with a panasonic brick back in 1996 on Cantel. Then to a Motorola StarTac.

When I went to bell I brought the startac with me and used that until I switched to a audiovox candybar phone. I then went to a samsung flip. Upgraded to a Motorola e815 until the charging port got busted when I dropped it.

I then went to a sanyo flip phone that I absolutely hated. I picked up a Nokia 2730 at that point to hold me over for a bit and I am now on a Blackberry Curve 3G.

wow you have had a lot of phones

[350Rocket]

Close to 10 years ago now I got my first phone for xmas, a big blue Nokia brick phone with a green monochrome screen. I had it for at least 4 years, the battery life was awesome until the last 6 months.
Then I got a free Motorola V551, a kind of cool looking blue and silver flip phone. At the time it was probably a mid level phone, but I never really liked it. I was used to the battery life being better on the Nokia, and sometimes the signal would drop off for no reason. I think I had it for 2 or 3 years and then accidentally went swimming with it in my pocket. I was already past my contract term so I cancelled and went without for a while.

Then my girlfriend got me a cheap Nokia prepaid phone on virgin (a little white phone) nothing fancy. It did its job, until I left it at a party once and never found it again. Not sure how long i had it. I drank a lot back then.
Then got a Samsung M300 flip phone and had it for a couple years and it even survived a load of laundry (went through the entire wash cycle), a week of drying and it worked more or less again.
Then when I started using my phones more, the prepaid got too expensive, so I got a plan with Telus with the LG Shine flip phone (LG 8700). I used it for 2 years and upgraded early to get a student plan and LG Shine Plus on a 3yr. The old one was still in good shape working perfect and I gave it to someone who couldn't afford to replace their dead blackberry pearl and they're really happy with it.

[ThirteenGreen]

wow you have had a lot of phones

Ha ha, I guess I have, didn't really think much about it until now but is is basically a new one every two years.

I just bought a curve outright so I can't see myself jumping ship anytime soon and I am really enjoying the phone so far.

[mynameismike]

My first was the Samsung A580 from 2006, the Motorola Rokr Slider from 2008 and currently the iPhone 4.

[1ace]

My first phone was a sony ericsson W200, that was utter crap. Then I moved on to sony ericsson w850i and all the keys broke... so now im back to some cheap pay as you go phone.

[ptolomy]

first phone lg rumour.... current phone nexus one.

[itchya]

1st phone was a motorola v600, now on an iphone 4. How things have changed!

[Commodus]

My first cellphone was an iPhone 3G - and I was 28 then. Just didn't have nearly as much interest in cellphones or smartphones.

Current: iPhone 3GS. Yeah. I'm a Mac user, so Apple's still the best for local sync and makes a good case for apps and media playback, too.

Having said that, the nature of my work has meant testing literally every modern smartphone operating system: Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, webOS, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, even Bada (if that counts). One of those few people who can say he knows what the competition was like going in.

[vinamack]

first phone Nokia 5190 on microcell (fido) - current phone Samsung Captivate =)

[xzxxzx]

My first phone was the Motorola V300 and my current phone is the T-Mobile G2 (HTC Vision).

[whoa-albert]

First phone, Audiovox 8910.

Current phone, iPhone 3GS.

[Nathan]

I got my first cell in 1996, but tbh I couldn't think of the name if I tried.

It was a Nokia something or other, one of the first ones with interchangeable face plates.

The thing was a Brickasaurus Rex.

......

My current phone is Telus home phone until I order my Galaxy S :)

What job is that!? I'd be happy testing every phone on the market

[jaStrom]

I had a Kyrocera Blade first.

http://www.letsgomobile.org/images/specs/1056/kyocera-blade-ke424c.jpg

It was awful even back then.

Now, I'm using the Legend after a bunch of other devices since the Blade.

[Off-Kilter]

First phone: LG Shine flip, one tough phone (not that I abused it that much, but the metal case is pretty heavy duty). Still works fine, gave it to my mother because she wanted a cell phone.

Current: HTC Legend, aweome! Love android (just got updated to 2.2, so much better than Eclair! Too bad I had to wait so damn long. Didn't want to root).

Next phone: If the Evo 3D comes to canada, that might tempt me enough...

[artstate]

First phone - Motorola C650
mp3 ringtones, 1.5 MB of internal memory & VGA camera. I thought it was pretty sweet at the time, next to my iRiver N10 mp3 player.
Last I checked (summer 2010) it could still turn on and make calls but it was hard to navigate because the joystick barely worked.

Now using an unlocked Samsung Wave - really great phone.

[aamd11]

1st phone: Razr V3C on Virgin prepaid, Me and all my friends thought it was the coolest thing ever at the time...ahh how things have changed.
Current phone: Motorola Milestone (though I prefer to call it a Droid :p) unlocked on Bell

[x8notes]

Here's mine too:

01 Nokia 3310
02 Sony Ericson T68i
03 Nokia 3510i
04 Nokia 6600
05 Sagem myX7
06 Nokia 5230

Not quiet expensive but still good...

I honestly can't remember what my first phone was. It was an old analog flip phone. It was on Bell but I remember when I got bad reception (and that was a lot) I'd manage to get the Rogers Cantel AT&T prerecorded message.

I stopped using a cell phone after I graduated college, up until 2008. Then I got a Nokia 6085 on Rogers. It was great, but reading about all the smartphones coming out I had to upgrade. In February 2010 I upgraded to a Blackberry Bold 9700, been using it ever since. At first I loved it, as my first smartphone, but I'm already so ready for an upgrade. The Blackberry style just isn't my style.

[Silver Arrow]

First phone -iPhone 3G
Second phone -iPhone 4
Third phone (hope) -SGS II

[cmr068]

1. Motorola v710
2. Motorola w385
3. Lg keybo
4. Lg keybo 2
5. Blackberry storm 2
6. iPhone 4

Wow it's not until I write it out that I realize how many phones I have had in the past ~5 years. The frequency has really picked up lately.

[Jnjosh]

Remember the motorola startac? lol my cousin owned one and i thought it was the coolest. Anyway my first phone was an LG flip phone, horrible speaker and couldnt hear anything if anyone ever called, and battery life was horrid.

1. LG FLIP
2. Razr
3. Rumor
4. ??? looking at a few options but not seeing one I really like. Leaning towards android because i find iOS boring.

But for now the rumor is holding up good!

[MarcusJ]

Neat look at the evolution of the cell phone:

Missing the last couple years post the iPhone release though!

[0defaced]

started off with the first Fido Nokia (can't remember the model, bar phone, but it had Snake!)

Recently moved up to a bb curve 9300 (work supplied it), and an HTC Desire HD :)
