Motorolola Razer!
I know everyone hated theirs, but I never had a problem with it until it simply "fell apart" after about 3 years of heavy use. IIRC the hinge spring system gave out rendering it a floppy mess that would end calls when the flip flopped down bringing it up to my ear!
Fun anecdote: A friend had a razer as well and left it on the roof of his car after pumping some gas. He left the gas station, pulling onto one of the busier 6 lane streets in my home town. He thought he lost the phone, so went back the next morning to see if he could get the SIM card out of it or something (He had lost it at night).
He found the phone in the intersection, still on with only some minor scratches and a cracked outer screen!

Best phone I've ever had. Got it in 2006 and the camera was great, so easy to use, 3G, loved how it looked, awww the memories of that babyI actually wish I had it now, loved that phone so ****ing much it's unreal.
I agree. I miss this phone, was such a comfortable phone to use. Whenever I broke one I'd replace it with the same phone, I had 3 in total.

Favorite phone I had: motorola V505
My dad had a starTAC when I was too little to have a phone, but I loved it.
I would go back to a flip phone if my iPad had unlimited data like my iPhone.

The Motorola i1000 plus was the first cell phone I've ever owned. Before this I was wearing a Beeper/Pager. I think it was also the first phones with Nextel Walkie Talkie. Still my favorite dumb phone of all.
Sounds like my story fell out of my pocket like five times while riding my bike. droping it off my roof and throwing around a football field. It finally fell apart when my friends decided to through a football through it
Ericsson T10s, would love to have it again
Nokia 2610, my daily as it is, may it last
I had a Samsung in between those two but the only thing I remember about it is that if you had an alarm set it would power on and alert you even if you had it powered off the day before because, hey, it's the weekend. Quite neat actually but had me questioning my sanity the first few times.
