My first smartphone was an iPhone 3GS. I loved it. iOS was novel at the time and the intuitiveness of the interface was spectacular. And, it was reliable. Then, I moved on to the Motorola Atrix and Android. Thanks to the XDA Development community, I've absolutely loved my time using this device. The customization that Android provides is second-to-none. For my next phone, I'm fairly certain that I'm going with a Lumia 920 or the LG Optimus Nexus.

First phone was a Motorola Startac. Work phone, and what a miserable hunk of junk that thing was. Calls and text only, except texts were like .25¢ each at that time. Couple of pre-paid phones after that. Next one I remember was a little Samsung flip phone. Nothing special but it had a camera and a color display. Upgraded to a Palm Centro which was pretty sweet for what it was. PalmOS is still one of my favorite mobile OSs. Simple and easy to use. My Centro didn't make it to the end of the contract, so I got Sprint to give me a Palm Treo. What a joke. WinMo 6.1 was clumsy as hell, buggy and just an overall PITA. After that I got an Evo 4G and was blown away by how much of an upgrade Android was over Windows Mobile. Had that through August of this year when we switched to Verizon and a Galaxy Nexus. Fantastic device, but I miss the build quality of my Evo. HTC has gotten that aspect down pat IMO.

My first phones were cheap pay-as-you-go phones because my parents didn't want to pay for a cell phone. First good phone, which I still use is the Evo 4G (Supersonic). I love this thing. Custom ROMs bring it to Jelly Bean while Sprint and HTC left it at Gingerbread. Right now I'm using DigitalKarma's Heaven ROM, can't wait for the new release that's supposed to come out today!!

my first phone was sony ericson w810i, that was around 6 years ago, at that time the phone can do everything that i can think of: web surfing using opera mini, java games, radio fm, music player, taking picture, good phone imo. Then one sunny day me and my friend got lost, he whip out his iphone 2g, impressed with the gps and the big screen, i queued in line for the iphone 3g, 3gs, 4. All in all, my experience with iphones was good, lots of game and lots of apps to kill time with, cant really happy without jailbreaking the phone though, but after a while i realized that the screen is a bit small. Hence, i switch to android, using a SGS3 now, not really happy with it initially, due to a bit slowness and bad battery life... the i found xda forum :D. Since then, all is good, thanks to the custom roms, kernel and some really informative thread about calibrating battery life :good:. Kudos to u guys at xda forum!

Really first phone was a old motorola that I kept only 3 days before he fell off of the car window. All I can remember is that he had a telescopic antenna ^^

After I had a Nokia 3310. Except for snake, sms, call and polyphonic tones I didn't used that much.

Next I had a HTC S710 with Windows Mobile. I kept it for nearly 2 years but he was becoming more and more buggy. And one day I smashed it onto a wall.

He has been followed by a Nokia N70. Port for sdcard and a good camera. I could finally listen to music and send a text in while :P

Then I had a HTC Magic. First real smartphone. I used it for more than 1 year and begun to try all the differents roms wich where coming out. Thanks to him I could crack my ps3 (don't know if someone remember but there was a recovery to install in order of copying the exploit dongles). But after a while usb-port broke so I had to built a battery charger. Then the wifi chip broke follow by data and gsm chips. So for now as there is only bluetooth working on it I use it to control some arduinos with a app I made.

This was really the phone which made me love to hack everything around me.

And now I have a Desire HD. I tried almost every roms developped here and I don't think to leave this phone for a while. Not before one or two major updates of android.

First one: Some Samsung i don't remember which one, really really old... Only used for SMS and calls :P

Nokia 5200, was my "first" one, really enjoyed it, ofc it had music and games what else could i ask for.

Nokia 5310, didn't get to use this one cause i lost it like a week after buy.

Nokia 5610, had this one for 5 years, updated it's firmware, really enjoyed it but got bored as hell.

LG Optimus Pro C660, bought it, then i discovered Android's world, and i love it, but the phone wasn't good for it's price, it was really really bad and like 100 people in the world has it, so i sold it.

Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman, really love it. 1ghz, 512 ram, armv7, adreno, music is really cool, a lot of ROMS (i love flashing), really cheap for it's price. I'm looking forward to unlock bootloader, but it's really hard :d. Flashing jelly sandwich atm!

I have always used motorola phones. My first one I got around 97. It had great battery life I almost got 10 hours with it on standby. It cost 20 dollars a month and $1.00 a minute. In 2000 I switched to a pay as you go phone and had that phone for a few years. No text no call display just call out. Almost everybody had this small phone that was only 6" long 3" wide and 2" thick.

My next motorola was smaller light and shaped like a peanut. It was my first phone that I could text with and had Call display.

After that I switch to telus and started my long relationship with Mike phones. You could throw them against a brick wall and they would bounce backand ask for more. You could kill them if you wanted to. I hadd three different ones that still work today.

Then I bought my First Android. The Backflip. or as my kids called it the backflop. Great idea but way underpowered. What was thought to be a promising phone was a major disappointment. Motorola refused to support this phone. A couple of guys were able to develop a couple of roms and the only one that didn't give me any headaches was the speady rom.

I am now using a Galaxy SIIX Running CM10 and it is great. The only problem I had was the ad blocker on Rom Tool Box was causing my battery to drain and the phone to over heat. I switched to Adaway and the problem was solved.

Will I go back to Motorola. They would have to come up with a phone that really wows and they haven't done that for years. Very Sad.

My first was a Nokia 3510i. Cool with color display and polyphonic ringtones.

Next was the SE T630i which was OK.

My first smartphone was the HTC touch HD. Stylus and all was new to me. Quite a nice Phone with a big display.

I've had HTC Hero, Desire, iPhone, Galaxy Nexus and now the Note 2. So far the best I've had is the Galaxy Nexus, but enjoying the Note 2 as well.

Started with low-end nokias but jumped to android as soon as i could afford it. My first was Motorola milestone but that got stolen and so i had to buy an used htc magic, used it for over a year and modded the hell out of it. Eventually got tired of the lack of power and got myself desire z, again - used but so much better esp. with jb now.
[General Topics] rafaaroma:
My first phone was a Lg Cookie, could not do anything to change it and not because he had a bad USB port, and even was a hard time to load.

With that I picked up a Samsung Galaxy 5, where I started my journey on Android. Modoficava he practically entirely, installed new ROMs and others.

Now today, I have a Xperia Neo V. .. It was one of the phones that I liked, and I'm modifying it slowly now.

But my main goal is the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy SIII
[General Topics] neomeone:
My first one was Nokia 8110i "the Matrix phone" back in '96, man was I the coolest kid on the block. :D Was an avid Finnish Nokia fan (8110i, 3210, 3310, 7110, 6210, 3510, 3510i, N73, 5800 XpressMusic), until I got fed up with Symbian. My first Android phone was ZTE Blade, and boy was I blown away by it and Android, also started to try custom ROM's almost right away (CM6 was the first one IIRC). Had two of those (lost one while drunk :eek: ) before my current (and lovely) Samsung Galaxy S2 (with M1UI ROM) and I don't see myself buying a new one anytime soon.

Expirience with HTC Desire

After a year and 4 months of using my Desire, it's finally time to get an upgrade. So let me say something about this phone. :)

It was with no doubt one of the best in his generation. But there were some flaws like a really, really bad camera, and I mean this. My old SE C510 took much better pictures than Desire, especially in low light conditions.

And the low /data partition size, it is really small. Sooner or later you had to root the phone and apply A2SD script or install a custom ROM.

Other than that, I had great time using it!

But I wouldn't buy HTC anymore because of the camera.

Cheers!

I have my Samsung Galaxy SII since february 2012, and from the beginning on I love the phone, but had 1 problem with my memory card and wifi in/on together. My college adviced me to root my phone (and he could help me) and install a custom modified ROM. Kinda new for, but he told me there was No risk.

Now over 25 ROM's further I use the Revolt JB ROM the most and are running it with lot's of joy for 2 months now. There is still some work on that ROM to be made by the developer, but he's getting there I'm sure.

thanks for that.

Going for my first smartphone

My fist I can´t quite remember it... Motorola something with black and white screen and a huuuugeeeee battery on the back.

Nesxt I started my nokia phase:

Nokia 5110, Amazing phone with a battery capacity that would last for a week (Some smart a** wanted it much more than I did and I never saw it again)!!

Nokia 3310: I still remember playing snake for hours to beat the high score, and droping it from the 4th floor just to pick it up, reassemble the battery and there it goes!!! =P

Nokia 6230: Another one stolen!!

Nokia 6230i: Still use it for my 2nd phone number

Nokia N70: Thone that combines almost everything perfectly. Good camera (only 2MP but very sharp), great autonomy (5 days) and good features (regarding its from 2005)

I´m now shopping for my new one and I think I´ll go as my first smartphone, the Huawei U8836D...

Let´s see how much time it lasts... =P

My very very first phone was a nokia 3310. I can remember that I played snake all day long on this phone. Then I got a red nokia 8210. That was a very small phone I liked it so i decided to change the cover but I broke it. Then I bought a phone all by my self and it was a Motorola v series with a huuuggee antenna. I don't know why I bought this phone. Then I got a Nokia again this time a nokia N96. This was the phone where I started to mod with the symbian S60. Put games and software on the phone. Navigation systems etc. There was an TV option too but never used that cause it was never working. I kept this phone for 2 years but it fell off the 11th floor down in to the street and guess what the phone is still working but, I have now buttons, no screen and the sliding is not perfect anymore. Maybe I will buy a N96 as a second phone. So then I was in to an iphone 4. Started modding for one year but Itunes got me so annoying that I trade my phone in to a new Samsung Galaxy S2. I kept the GS2 for a year or so, then I had a simple nokia 5 series, used this one a half year then I bought a Galaxy nexus and mod the hell out of it.

Galaxy Nexus Tapatalk

My first phone was a Philips savy, with very few features, but good for a seventh grade boy ... :) Then I bought a nokia 3410 much better than previous ... I went to the world in color with a Samsung, which do not remember the model, because bad. I had then a wave, good, but unfortunately fell into the water, after which I bought a nokia 6600 good cell, which it was stolen ... Now finally I have a sony Ericsson xperia x8 with android! :) The original ROM is bad, but fortunately on this beautiful forum there are a lot of very high performance, making it an excellent phone! :)

HTC Wizard - Horrible, clunky brick with WM5 on it. Flexible compared with none smartphones at the time, but ultimately pretty horrid to use.

HTC Touch Dual - Not much better than this, updated WM6 but still not exactly quick, and still not nice to use. I wanted a Nokia N95 instead but the salesman talked me into this one. I wish I hadn't listened.

Apple iPhone 3G - After 6 torture filled months with the previous HTC, the iPhone was a revelation. So much better to use and more advanced than the other phones at the time. My GF had an HTC Magic at the same time. No comparison, the iPhone was so much better than those earlier android versions.

HTC Desire - Nice little phone, but somehow didn't seem quite as nice to use as the iPhone, but the interface was much more to my tastes. Much, MUCH faster than the ip3G, and a much better screen.

Samsung Galaxy S - Very poor phone this, I could only tolerate it for 3 months. None working GPS, slow, laggy and unstable. Rubbish.

HTC Google Nexus One - Like a Desire but stripped of Sense. Personally, vanilla android of that generation was better WITH sense IMO. Wasn't a fan.

Apple iPhone 4 - Good solid phones these, when they work (mine went back twice). However, other phones were coming of age and this one had started to feel a little boring, the screen was a revelation but just too small, and the whole device felt not a whole lot faster than a 3GS, which itself was smoked by the likes of the Desire. Still remains the one phone I've had with the best sound quality for music.

HTC Incredible S - Pretty much a slightly quicker, scaled up Desire. A nice phone. Poor SQ.

Samsung Galaxy S II - Probably the best device I've owned yet if I'm being honest. Fast, lovely screen (even if it is slightly low res) and can still hold its own today. I'd swear it feels faster than my current Nexus. Excellent camera. Average SQ.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus - This is a real nice phone with Jelly Bean, very quick and smooth, and pretty good SQ from headphones too. Camera is very poor though, which lets the whole thing down and GPS performance isn't up there with the S2, prone to more drop outs and the like.

Motorola MicroTAC - First cell phone I ever had. Looking back now, it was as far from "Micro" as I can imagine something being.

--Skipping about 10 years of random basic phones (a couple Nokias, LG VX8700, LG Chocolate, and a couple other randoms..--

LG Voyager - Big, bulky, horrible touchscreen, but great speakers and battery life.

Motorola Droid - Bought on release day, my first Android phone. And I loved it. Everything about it was the cat's pajamas. It served me very well for quite awhile.

HTC Droid Incredible 2 - Bought it despite the fact that 4G LTE phones were starting to come out. Loved this phone for the first few months I had it, then the charging port broke. Got a replacement phone, which had the charging port break. Fixed it myself and got a few more months out of it, now the charging port is breaking. Again.

Samsung Droid Charge - Love the 4G data speeds, but the phone itself is pretty underpowered. Seems to struggle with some apps the the Inc2 ran smoothly. As a WiFi home phone, it works fine.

First I had a ****ty Panasonic black and white phone. Got stolen after like a or something.

Then I had a Samsung x500 with rotating flash...:D Had it for quite a while.

Motorola Rokr came next. It had a stylus pen and had quite a lot of features like today's smart phones.

Then jumped on to Samsung Jet just prior to the Android revolution. 5 MP camera and dual flash came in handy. Amazing amoled display as well. Had an 800 mhz processor. It was like the best phone of its time.

Finally jumped on to the Galaxy S2 and still own it. Amazing phone with a beautiful screen and brilliant camera. No hiccups whatsoever and all the games run smoothly. Android came to me as a pleasant surprise. Rooted my phones and since then I have spent hours reading all sorts of xda post. Almost installed a new ROM everyday. It beat the **** out of its competition when it was launched.

A proud owner of Galaxy S2! :D

The 1st phone I had was a Siemens S25. Quite good, it had colour LCD, but it suffered of a production problem. In fact, after a couple of year, the lcd backlight was TFU. Repaired, then in 1 month again TFU. A friend of mine had the same problem, so IMHO was a production defect.

Then I switched to Ericsson and Sony Ericsson, then to Nokia (phones).

Nokia (phones) were fine, so I decided to try a Nokia smartphone (E71) ... and then I found Nokia "lost the train" of smartphones ..s mother of god

Then ... Samsung Galaxy S2 :)

This beast is really solid, and perfect size for reading and thumb typing. I don't make much calls that's why I stick with it still. On CM10 JB 4.1.2 now - fast and responsive for my daily tasks (I don't play games) so it's hard to find reason to replace...
