Phone before iPhone ? Name it!

Had it in green. Looking back from now, that was a cool phone. I wish I got orange. I probably still would have it, but my friend threw me in the pool.

Then I switched between an old razr and my first Samsung phone.

Then I used this one for a little:

And lastly, my current phone is:

iPhone 3GS (current)
HTC HD2 (bought and sold while still using 3GS)

Even cheaper Motorola

I still feel that the K800i had the best camera by far.

- During my first two years of high school (2005-2006), I would borrow my mom's candy bay styled Nokia phone if I had to stay at school for practice. And this phone didn't have a camera nor a color display either. It's also interesting because now it's strange to find someone who doesn't own a cellphone, but back then I'd still get people asking to borrow my mom's phone to call their parents after practice

- Then in 2006 or 2007 I finally got my own phone, but it was this basic Nokia phone that was only good for placing phone calls. It didn't have a camera so it couldn't take pictures, which was still a neat feature to have on your cell phone at the time.

It didn't have many features, but I still appreciated having it to call my parents on the certain times that I would miss the bus or need a ride after a game or something. I remember envying over other people's Razrs and my cousin's "Slvr".

- Then in January 2007, Apple announced the first iPhone which would be released in June. I was in awe of this device and would constantly go on Apple's website to drool over their photos and renders of the device. It was $600 at the time, so I had to save up quite a bit, but this device really was magical in my opinion.
I remember taking it to school, and so many people wanted to see it since it was still the new hot thing to have. I also remember demoing a lot of the features to my family members, and even I would be in awe of the device myself while showing it to them. There was simply nothing else like it at the time.

- In December 2008, my parents bought me the iPhone 3G as a birthday/Christmas present. I remember opening up that quality Apple packaging just a few years ago.

- I ultimately ended up buying the iPhone 4 this summer. Another beautiful device that has really changed my life I think.

My first iphone was the 3gs and I feel in love with it. I didn't think that apple could improve on it. I was determine not to get the ip4 it because I had just got the 3gs. But the ip4 is a huge difference. It just keeps getting better. Can't wait for ip5.:D

2010 - iPhone 3GS
2005-2009 - SE K750i (amazing phone, would probably still have this if i hadn't got my iPhone)
2004 - SE K700i
pre 2004 - A couple of candy bar type nokias i think.
 
Prior to switching to AT&T and the 1G iPhone, I had the BB Curve on Verizon. I don't feel like listing all the phones I had prior to the BB, because I frankly can't remember them all.
 
Cingular 8125, too! Mine died like a week and a half before the iPhone came out, otherwise I wasn't really shopping for any type of replacement phone. So glad my 8125 died!

Why would you go back to bb from iPhone ? o_O
Click to expand...

mostly cause i miss the keyboard (not too much of a touch screen fan), the addicting red indicator, better notifications and bbm. Also a little cause the iphone is too much of a toy to me, the main reason I got it was to combine my iPod and BB, and I am not too crazy about the apps. Most of the apps I use on the iPhone are available for BB.

Also my iPhone reception is quite spotty near my house and school. It gets kind of annoying after a while.
