lets just a blackberry on tmobile bits the dust and the thing was cheap but i got 27 trade in when i went to verizon and got my iphone 4 earlier in the month thought about shooting it with my shot gun to see what happens to it but i did not
Used all of them.
Blackberry OS - On my girlfriend's sister's Blackberry Curve 9300. It's her old phone and she lives with us. - Hate it.
Windows Phone 7 - Girlfriend had an Samsung Omnia 7 before she upgraded. Practically my backup phone if my iPhone 4S dies. - Love it! At times I think I might even use it more than my 4S.
Android - Had a Samsung Galaxy S2, but didn't like it that much at all. - Decent enough OS.
Symbian - No idea if this counts but I guess the Sony Ericsson Satio is a smartphone. - Needless to say like the Blackberry OS I hated this too.
At this moment in time I think it's fair to say near the end of next year I will be moving to a WP7 phone for good.

SG2 with Gingerbread is great. Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich kinda OK.
Newest, just received yesterday is Nokia 800 with Mango 7.5! Now this is a nice phone and what is best, it uses the same size SIM card as the 4S so you can switch back and forth with ease! Forget everything you have seen about a Windows phone, the Mango version on this phone will make it very popular. AT&T will have the Nokia ACE with front facing camera in March with LTE.

I had a Samsung Focus (awesome phone with Windows Phone 7), until it met its unfortunate demise in a duck pond, replaced it with an iPhone 4S because the new Windows Phone 7 devices seemed the same as the first generation. Before the Focus I had a Blackberry Torch for business and an iPhone 3G for personal use.

The Nokia N95 was my first smartphone i think. It used to be the biznis back in the day!
I've also went through countless windows mobile phones. All of those made me want to cry. I remember spending HOURS loading rom after rom trying to get my touch diamond to feel useable.
I had a palm pre 2 when it went on sale for $49.99 at HP.
I owned a samsung galaxy s 2 for 1 day. It was a pretty nice phone, but i returned it for reasons you wouldnt think. Earpiece volume HORRIBLY low, and really crappy camera.
Other than that, i've owned every iphone since the first.

Very first was the Palm Treo 700p on Verizon. Then got the iPhone 3g on AT&T, then iPhone 4, then sold that to get the 4S.
I tried out my friend's Droid 1 for like 10 minutes (this was in the days of Android 2.1), and it was a little complicated. The back button which is different from home button, depending on the application? Im sure I could figure it out eventually, but iOS was simple for me.
I just got a HP WebOS Touchpad; I love it. It is a solid OS and it was a good decision for HP to Open Source it. Of course it would have been better to continue producing devices, but whatever. Honestly, if there was a solid WebOS competitor to the iPhone for my next phone, I wouldn't know which one I would buy. Probably iPhone because I already bought all these apps, but it would still be tough.

I'm probably giving away my age, but I've been a smartphone user since the first Palm Treo.
I had a Treo too they were great. Especially as I already had a Palm device so my apps worked.
The last OS I used before iOS was Symbian on my Nokia N95. Never looked back since.

A palm treo was my first smartphone and I loved it. Although I'm sure it would be a different experience if I had to use it now. there was a flashback episode of big bang theory on the other day were Sheldon whipped out his treo and checked for an email with the stylus and it made me smile! I wonder how long before we all are like: "remember when we had to use Siri? Awww"
After that I used a blackberry for a little while before I got the first iPhone. Played around with my brother in law's new razr over Christmas and felt bad for him. I can't see using anything other than iOS at this point.

I had a Samsung Focus S before my 4S. WinPhone7 is really good and smooth, but it's missing some features that I would like that iOS5 already has.
It's always nice trying out other mobile OS's!
