Let's see, on my personal line I got my iPhone 3G when it launched and got the iPhone 4 when launched. Before that I had a nokia n75, samsung blackjack the year before that, samsung blade a900 before that, motorola flip phone, samsung flip phone, moto flip phone (had a plug in camera and COLOR screen! I was soo cool), a nokia, a nokia, a nokia, and another nokia. So from 2000-2008 I went through 10 cell phones, and since then only 2 iPhones, I actually made it to the end of my contract with upgrading this past year and will probably again with the ip4.
Now, my business line which has no iPhone, that's a different story. Rigt now it's a palm pre plus, before that it was a blackberry tourch, Nokia 6655, moto razr2, moto krazr, moto razr. That's 5 phones from 2006-2010.

I got my first phone when 10; it was crappy little flip phone with camera from LG. Then at age 12 I upgraded to the pantech duo but windows mobile sucked and was very slow so I upgraded to the iPhone 3GS when I was 13 and then order the iPhone 4 on July 23 while I was still 13. Thats my phone history so far 
Here's my cell phone history.
1st: Siemens a56 - Used for 4 years (I was young so I didn't care about a phone)
2nd: Sony Ericsson w810i - Used for 5 years (It was one solid phone) - Still Works & Modded
3rd: iPhone 3GS - Used for 9 months (Sold it)
4th: iPhone 4 - Current

SE K700
SE K750
Samsung D 900
Samsung U700.
All of which were brilliant phones. Cept the k750, the stupid joystick button stopped working after a year or so.

But my phone right before I went "i" was the samsung omnia.

They make great hardware. The earlier models were a little glitchy but back in the pre-iphone era these were the cutting edge. My hatred for AT&T kept an iphone out of my hands for many years. I still wouldn't have one if not for the pre-paid ipad sim.
