I used WM which was terrible, BB Curve that was great for email and messaging but had the worst web browser known to man, iOS starting with iPhone 3G(who buys a $600 phone with no 3G anyways?) and Android on HTC Evo(nice phone but awful battery life),Epic 4G(amazing screen but crap GPS that was never fixed) and Photon 4G that was also very nice but unlocking the boot loader killed 4G and Motoblur is complete crap. Currently I'm using iPhone 4S and while it's a great phone some aspects of iOS namely retarded file system are driving me crazy. I'm probably going to end up going back to Android if I can trade my 4S for Galaxy Nexus.
 
I had a Nokia until I purchased my iPhone 4S, and I didn't find it to be that goood at all. The iPhone is much better :p. I've used Android briefly on other peoples phones, but never had an android phone myself.
 
i currently have an iphone 4s and samsung galaxy s2. the galaxy pretty much never gets used.
 
iOS (iPhone - iPhone 4S)
Android (G1, myTouch, Droid, Nexus One, Droid X)
WP7 (LG Quantum, HTC Surround)

All great operating systems.
 
My first smart phone was a Samsung Blackjack 2 with WinMo 6.0. I have a Nexus One that I play around with now, and an iPhone 4 that's my primary device.
 
WP7
Android
iOS
Windows Mobile (if that counts)
BB OS (not sure I'd really count that either)

WP7 is my favourite, with iOS as a close second. I'm keen to try Ice Cream Sandwich, but I still think WP7 is what I really want to be using these days.

Enjoyed using them all through the years. I'm tempted to grab a used palm Pre to see what all the WebOS fuss is about! :)
 
windows mobile on a samsung blackjack (windows mobile 5.0) was my first smartphone, followed by blackjack 2 (WM 6.0), iphone 3g (iOS 2.0-3.3), iphone 4 (iOS 4.0-5.0), iphone 4s (iOS 5.0) on my personal line. For work, the first smarphone i got was a Nokia E61x (Symbian), palm pre plus (webOS 1.4), Blackberry Torch (Blackberry OS 6.0) htc desire (Andriod Froyo), motorola atrix (froyo), htc surround (windows phone 7.0), dell venue pro (WP Mango), smasung nexus s (gingerbread), and now a palm pre 3 (webOS 2.2).

As you can see the one mainstay Ive had for a couple of years is iOS. While webOS is probably my favorite, the iPhone has the best combination of fuctionality, hardware, app support, and features. I would probably put windows phone mango second right now because webos is dead and it is really buttery smooth and very fuctional, its just that i'm not a huge fan of the list view interface.
 
Had a pretty basic Blackberry, the curve 8530, so my iPhone 4 and most recently, the 4S were my first real smart phones :)

My father has a SGSII & my brother has a Wildfire S, both running Android and I still prefer iOS in comparison. The flawless syncing with my Mac & iPhone along with iTunes match are just perfect for my needs.
 
My iPhone4 was my first smartphone. I bought it when Verizon first offered the iPhone.

I am spoiled - iOS is the only OS I have experienced - and I couldn't be happier with it. Of course, I have no point of comparison, and I'm sure other OS's are very good - but I feel no need to try other systems since iOS is, for me, so good.:)
 
iOS (3G, 3GS jail broken and fully customized lol, 4, ordered 4S but cancelled)

Windows - Cingular (before AT&T merger) 8525 TyTn (HTC phone), still have it in a drawer lol, petty good for it's day was way way better as a business phone then my iPhone. I like the new Mango system though,

various BB's, gf currently has the new Bold from work, hate it, OS is still clunky to use and just don't care for the phone period, BB's just feel like relics when using them lol

Android - never cared for, until I used the AT&T version of the Galaxy SII and cancelled the 4S order. Loving it.
 
I still use a Blackberry for work, but my last phone was a Samsung Jack with Windows 6.3 (I believe). The problem was Windows kept forgetting it was supposed to be a phone. I had to reboot it all the time (power off, battery out...). One time it was so bad I had to hard boot it and reinstall from scratch.

I used to have a blackberry before I switched to an iPhone 4 and now 4S. I do miss some things like profiles and the LED notification on the front. I also kinda miss the keyboard and being able to type with it without having to look at the phone. I'd never be able to give up my iPhone though :apple:
 
The iPhone 4 was my first smartphone. Switched to a Blackberry bold 9900 this past fall but it was awful so I traded it for an iPhone 4S.

I do want to try a WPmango and ICS device in the future though.
 
My first smart phone was a Blackberry Storm. Then I got a Motorola Droid then I finally made it to the iPhone (Verizon finally got it!). And yes iOS is my favorite out of all 3.
 
I used WebOS on a Palm Pre Plus for nearly two years, until I finally became eligible for a new phone. I say 'finally' because it was torture putting up with the Pre, knowing that I had x-amount of months to wait before I could upgrade to a new phone. While I generally disliked the Pre for its lousy hardware and cheap build-quality, I rated the software very high, mainly for its ability to keep apps open (visible) while 'swiping' from one to another. Now that I've been with iOS for about a month, I find it to be just as practical, if not quicker, getting from app to app, now that I'm used to the motions. It's hard to compare the two OS's, though, since the processor on the Palm Pre was relatively slow. Maybe if the Pre operated with the speed of the 4S, a true comparison could be made. WebOS had such great potential. It's a shame that a lousy phone and its awful advertising campaign brought Palm crashing down.
 
- Symbian
- iOS
- Android
- BB OS

In order of preference:

- iOS
- Symbian
- Android

Sorry, BB OS was just too messed up and annoying. Glad i sold the bold 9700 and got a 3GS.
