Fun Post: What's Your Phone History?

I started with some Android 1.6 and 2x phones that i can't remember.
Was more connected with tablets that time, first i had three archos tablets in three years in unknown order.

After that i got my first "fine" phone, the Alcatel OT 995 was the most worse phoneo ever.
Then i got the Galaxy Note 1 and 5 months later a S2 as secondairy ( now are they both dead ) .

Now i have one lovely device left, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 ( 2,72Ghz Quadcore CPU and 2GB of RAM )
I'm really happy with my current device
 
I had my first cell phone in 2007. It was the Motorola v325i from Verizon:

I had that phone until 09 when I left for the Philippines. I spent most of my time there without a phone, but did get a Nokia 1280 for the last few months of my time there:

After returning home in 2011, I picked up a Samsung Intensity on Verizon. At the time I thought Smartphones were ridiculous, costly, and stupid:

In 2012, I left my parents' family plan and switched to Straight Talk. It was as this point I realized I might as well get a smartphone for the cost of service. I picked up a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, already 2 years outdated. This phone is now sitting on my bedroom shelf with CM 11 installed on it:

And last but not least, I picked up my Nexus 4 last summer just a few weeks before they dropped the price on them. I plan to keep this until July, when I'll have had it for 2 years, before upgrading:

Thanks guys for the new posts and also those that have updated their original posts. I like to come back to this every no and again for my own nostalgia and to update my own phones every year, so it was awesome to see this post still getting some attention from years ago. Good stuff.
 
Continued from my OP back on October 9, 2010

If you noticed from above to now, I have significantly slowed my phone buying process to that of a sane person. Over the years I have matured into an Android enthusiast and to a degree a purest. Thankfully this only requires 1 phone a year, or so, and whatever accessory devices, (Tablets, watches etc...) that may go along with the experience. It also saves a ton of money. That said...

2013

In October needed wanted a new phone and since T-mobile had that Jump thing working for it, I figured that since I was with them for the long haul, what's the harm in getting a Nexus 5? The N4 from the previous year was a phone that could have easily lasted me more than a year, but the N5 had a hardware upgrade that I wanted, and the promise of things to come, and knowing how surprisingly good LG was at making it, I couldn't pass this up. So now I'm at the point where so long as Google makes Nexus phones, I'm a buyer every October till Samsung ever does it again at which point, I'm sure an iPhone may be the better alternative. Yes, I still have issues with Samsung's plastic bloatware filled TW laggy big-ass phones. Of course you could strike that last part if the N6 is indeed a Shamu sized Motorola war machine.
