Not my first cell phone, but this is the phone that has the most fond memories attached to it.

I had one of these too... when Nokia was hands down king. From there I had some unknown moto flip phone, and from there a razer. I think from the razer I went to the iPhone and used them exclusively until I got on EVO

Very 1st phone
Wouldn't that be considered a landline?

Here's my whole cell phone history and a little story behind it.
I got this when I was in Grade 6. I played Snake and Space impact on it for hours
This is my next phone. This is the phone where Philippines first had unlimited texting. I wasn't a fast texter then, but I texted for hours. Which I found weird since I am the faster button masher in my neighborhood. Sadly this phone was snatched from me one rainy night, when going home from school. My bag got slashed
When my phone got stolen, this is my temporary replacement for it. Played Snake and Space Impact for hours
Ah yes, my first MP3 player phone. My parents bought me this second handed. I bought it home, but didn't notice the tons of porno pics and vids on it. I was like
. I deleted it then enjoyed listening to the radio and music on it for hours. The occasional Realistic Tennis here and there. I still have this phone, it's my backup phone.
I wanted to get a new phone, (you know, teenage envy
) but I know my parents won't get me a new one because I still have one. So, I saved and saved and saved till I got this! I'ts my first phone when I became a freshman in college, and I listened to music for hours
When I was driving with my Dad, my phone slid from my short pocket and landed somewhere. We backtrack it but we couldn't find it. Either someone nicked it or it fell into a canal. Being sad, my dad decided to buy me a new phone (and a couple of deep-pocketed shorts). I love this because this is my first touchscreen/QUERTY I played java games and apps on it for hours Now, for the second time, this phone was stolen (Yes, this is common here) while I was in the jeepney (Public transportation in the Philippines), someone looted my bag while it's too crowded to move. Luckily I blocked both the sim card and the phone.
This was my temporary replacement before I save up for a new one. This is beyong sucky. I got angry at this POS phone for hours.
And now we have the this beauty.
My first Android
My first HTC
I don't notice anything except my phone for hours
That's my phone history for ya.
As you notice I have a lot of Nokia phones. This is because Nokia dominates the phone market here in the Philippines.

POS Kyocera phone from Cricket Wireless....this thing sucked balls
Then I went to this POS
After that, I went to this
Boost Mobile
Well got tired of the "chirp" and paying boost so went back to cricket
Got a Razr
Went through like 6 of those, had that until I learned how to flash phones then I had this one Cricket
I had working 3G, WiFi everything....and then Cricket pissed me off went to Sprint
had this
Then it got water damaged, bought this second hand
Then I found this on ebay for like 10 bucks....replaced it a cpl of times
then I said screw it, I wanted an Android and I got this
My next phone will be something a bit bigger....I have big hands, but so far I love my Optimus S.

SE z500a.....cool idea but not a very good phone in any respect (went through 4)
z520a after number 4, Cingular sent me this guy. Major upgrade imo
MotoV325 Ended my Cingular service and went to metroPCS. Great device for basic stuff
VX8500...got this after my v325 got stolen. best non-smartphone keyboard ever (to me). But the touch device was very buggy. Went through 4 of them.
Samsung a670. Verizon refused to replace my Chocolate again so someone gave me this when the phone went into boot-loop.
vx8300. Another friend gave me this when the a670 separated.
Mod Edit: Link Removed
the V. bought on a whim from ebay. cool little phone. great speakers.
Treo 700p. My very first smartphone. Loved every moment of it. I cant recall it ever doing anything i disliked. It was just really boring.
Well grammy had an extra phone number that wasnt being used so she gave me the SIM. Some dude was selling this guy for $120 back in Jan 09. I JUMPED on it!!
Just wanted something new since my iPhone was so darn old. This guy lasted like 2 days before it got flipped right back to ATT. good phone TERRIBLE device.
After my bad experience with the backflip, I wanted to try a REAL android. But it was the opposite (good device bad phone). Also i didnt like TouchWiz and decided "i might as well still have an iPhone."
Turned in the Captivate and headed to the Apple Store.
Got VERY tired of autocorrect and all of its oppression. I loved the keyboard on this phone. And thats IT. But i convinced myself to stay with BB since most of what i do is txt/email/twitter.
I hate everything about this phone. It is just about as slow as my Backflop with a worse camera and the backflop had just as good of a keyboard.

NEC 9A, size of a typical house brick, weighed as much, and cost a lot of money back in 1990, carrier was Racal-Vodafone.
Before owning the 9A, I used a company Nokia Mobira Talkman for a while, carrier was Cellnet.
My first truly pocked sized phone, and my favourite of the era.. Oki 900.

- Some old Audiovox bar phone

There's a couple others in the history, but I couldn't remember them...and most of them I couldn't find pictures for.

First phone, the Samsung Alias:
Got it in the 6th grade. Great, reliable, durable phone. It even was underwater for 2 minutes when I dropped it in the lake (shallow water) with a muddy bottom and survived. Didn't even have to replace the battery. (I was kinda saddened by the fact it survived because then I couldn't get a new phone... lol)
Still works after 4 years, serving as my backup in case anything happens to this phone, Samsung Fascinate:
I'm a Samsung guy. I've never had a problem with their cellphones. Had the Fascinate for 9-10 months now.
