The most advanced cell phone I've been using is this one

First phone: Siemens CX75, which I got from my father after he bought himself a new phone.

Second phone: Sony Ericsson K550i

Third phone: IIRC it was Nokia 5530 XM, it had a nasty tendency to restart itself once in a month without any warning.

Fourth phone: Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica, my first Android smartphone.

Fifth phone: Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. Nice phone with 2 cons: firstly, although the CPU has 1GHz, it has 1 core and phone sometimes noticeably slows down; secondly, it has only 320 MB of internal memory and it fills up quickly.

Sixth phone: Nokia Lumia 520

Seventh phone: Nokia Lumia 640 LTE, currently using it.

Edit: now I remember I also had one more phone, I think it was LG. It had a roll that you used to scroll through menus. Unfortunately I can't remember it's name.

What's your point? :P

And yes to you noobs, that is an actual picture of the town where I live.

Personal phones:
Nokia 3310
LG KS20 (I'm one of probably very few that actually miss Windows Mobile)
Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro (yay! a physical keyboard!)
Jolla (allright, so this has neither Windows Mobile - because that system is long since dead, having been replaced with that Windows Phone abomination - nor a physical keyboard, but it's at least a GNU/Linux-based system unlike than that Android pile-of-dung)

Work phones:
HTC Legend
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (I think, I prefer to forget that one)
Samsung Galaxy S4

Not going to try to remember all of them, but from the past few years:

Nokia 6120c
Motorola DEFY
Nokia 6120c (went back to it)
THL A3
Nokia Lumia 620
Samsung Galaxy Young 2

First phone was a Nokia phone which I still have as a backup alarm clock.

My second phone was a Droid 3 which lasted over three years of heavy usage until the processor died.

My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I really enjoy it. It definitely works a lot smoother than my Droid 3 ever did and my only complaint is that it does not have a physical slide out keyboard.

Got my first one at 18. Below are all the phone sI have owned. I think I did alright.

1 Samsung D730 . Accidentally put in in with the laundry. Dried it out and it still worked. Just couldn't get a signal. Hard as fuck. Great phone

2. Samsung R500 . As good as my previous one but the battery did not last as long. Decent user but ugly. Recycled it when I got my next one with a new contract. Good phone

3. Samsung S401i . I loved this phone. it was the perfect phone for me. It looked great and took a beating and still kept going. I could set my ringtone and change the styles and settings with ease. I loved this phone. But it fell out of my low cut pocket (shorts) at some point. I was pissed. My favorite phone ever of all time. Would switch back to it in a heartbeat.

4. Got my pops old iphone (3 I think). My first smart phone. Loved the tech but hated the software. Everything is so locked down and Itunes is invasive and bloated software. Got robbed one night walking home by the types that seem to be all over Europe now. So I upgraded to......

5. Iphone 4s. I took my wifes old phone. Same problems and bonuses as the previous phone. Useablitity is bogged down by ios software. Can't even use music on it because of problems with itunes. Fuck ios.

I'll be switching to a Blackberry soon so we'll see how that goes.

There is one phone I always wanted to get and that was this Sony Ericsson phone, the Xperia PLAY.

Now thats how you do Mobile Gaming. Too bad it never took off, I would have loved to play Final Fantasy 6 on it.

Best phone I ever owned. It sounded great, everything was easy to use.

I'm a fan of dumb-phones. I want to hear my call well. That's priority 1.

Never had one, and never will. I do have a tablet though....

ADDED: I'm a conflicted "Get off my lawn!" old dood. Never had a smart phone (and never will) yet it's been probably 10 years since I've written a check, I do everything financial online. And as I said, I do have a tablet..... LOL

That's pretty bomb. It's how I would design it too. Not that taco shell bullshit that shall not be named.

Oddly enough its the only slider style phone I like. I don't dig the keyboard sidekick stuff.
I think the cell phone is one of the worst inventions to be honest. What was something handy at first became a demanding nessecity real fast. Now fuckers can reach you anywhere and bother you anytime and it is truly a pain in the long run.

Maybe I should turn Amish?

I never owned a cell phone until last year when I moved to a rural area and thought it would be wise to have a means to contact help if I ever broke down in the middle on nowhere as one could wait quite some time for anyone to come along if they were willing to stop and one could wait for days or more before a sheriff might happen by out in the country.

So, I got my first mobile phone through Verizon which is an iPhone 4s. I've come to really like the thing and it integrates very nicely with my Macintosh computer. I've found some very useful apps I am glad to have too and I keep one time killer (Plants vs Zombies 2) installed for fun while waiting at the doctor's office or whatever. I use a very nice app called Dark Sky that knows precisely where I am and provides relevant weather info and will even tell me how minutes until it starts raining where i happen to be at the time. Very cool stuff. I've found other cool apps too but I won't list them all here. It's amazing all the neat stuff you can do with a phone now. I guess probably everybody else already knew that but me until recently.

So, I am glad to have one now and would not want to be one but I sure was late to the party where I got along fine with a landline until last year when at the age of 55 when I got my iPhone. Next time around, I am going the no contract route and just buying a better iPhone outright with enough capacity to function as an iPod and beam music to the car stereo as well as for listening when taking walks, etc. A larger screen would be nice as well since I could see myself playing games on it more often if it was a little bigger and easier to see and interact with as such.
This is the beauty of voicemail. I am available when I feel like it and at no other time. I also adjusted the preference related to texts such that no indication is given to the sender when I read them. In this way, those can be queued for whenever as well.

I do know what you mean though. When I am out and about I do not want telephone calls unless for an emergency. I don't want to make calls and I don't want to get calls. I am not home.

it was sticky so had to be cleaned.
according to the statement i got with the returned phone it had to have hard factory reset. it works normally now.

LG flip phone. Loved it! Spent most of the first year saying things like, "Kirk here." and "Scotty, one to beam up."

Several other flip phones.

HTC Thunderbolt. First smart phone. Absolutely loved it! Bought the extended battery, which made it feel like a brick, but I wore it in a belt holster so all was well. Finally slowed down too much with one software update too many.

Droid DNA. This was not the Droid I was looking for. Fast, but the battery life was horrible; I had to charge it at least twice a day. Swore I'd never buy another Motorola phone as long as I lived...

Droid Turbo. ...until I found out that this phone was rated #1 in battery life. And so far it's been true: I charge it once a day, and rarely go below 30% power. There have been issues with apps freezing and/or refusing to close, but that sounds like a software issue that'll hopefully be addressed in the next big update.
