I've had several of those but only after they had been replaced with something more modern.  That trend continues to this day.

Of those, I've I only had the iPhone.

Nokia for a works phone, now a Galaxy SII fan.

I had those first two Motorola phones long after most people had put them on the scrap heap.     But we had the Sony Ericsson T68I  when it was state of the art but only because Mrs Clive was given it by her employers.     The only reason we scrapped it was because it usually didn't work when we were abroad.

I started with a Philips C12, then moved to a flipper, but I can't remember what that was now.  I then had one of the original Sony (pre-Ericsson) phones, a J something or other, which had lovely polyphonic ringtones.    Next came a run of Nokias, 6310i, 6230, and an N82.  I then had a few SEs, the K750i, K800i, K810i, before moving onto BlackBerry, of which I had the Storm 1 (which famously met with a wall!) and Storm 2, which then led to the iPhone 3GS, and, currently, the 4S.  I may have missed one or two along the way.

You've had more phones than I've had hot dinners!     My latest appears to be a newer version of your second.

I wish I could remember the name of the flipper, though.  That's really bugging me! 

[Simon]

I remember!  It was an NEC.  I'll be able to go to sleep now.

I also missed another one - I had an HTC HD2 between the last BlackBerry and the first iPhone.  Gorgeous phone, with the biggest screen available at the time.  Only downside was the old Windows OS.

   What have I started?
