following on from http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=470795

What phones has everyone had?

Iv'e had some right funky ones over the years

Started out with a Mitsubishi Trium:


Then for something like my 13th birthday i got a 3210 on vodaphone payg:


next was a 5210 on o2:


Then a 7210 that i got my mum to get on contract so i could have the handset



after that was a 3200, i remember it being cool as f*** with an led torch:



then i had a 7600 (leaf phone) was cool because no one else could text on it



then i got an old company mobile off my parents, a 6230i:



but it wasnt to last as my nephew flushed it.. so off to get myself my first contract... and an n91:



Was shockingly bad! i put up with it though for 18 months until i upgraded and changed brand completly as nokia's seemed to be crap at this point

so a sony w880i was had:


this phone was crap, never had signal and would turn its self off when it fancied.. but i persevered and then upgraded to an apple iphone 3g:



and there we have my 8-9 years worth of phones..

also this is quite intresting:

i remember wanting a couple on there an never being able to.. 7650 and an n93 to name a couple

Started with a motorola t180 back in 99 on orange,



a year or so later, got a siemens a50 on t-mobile,



but with t-mobile being an absolutely shit network for me, went back to orange and got a siemens a55 and stayed with that for a while.



Then got a nec e313 on 3 when they first came out cheap.



Got fed up with that and picked up a nokia 3510i up on orange again.



I then had a nokia 6230,



followed by a motorola v3i which ended up getting fried when i used to work in maccy d's ooops



then a nokia 5500 sport



and now my nokia n95.

3310 - Screen kept freezing after I sent text so was exchanged for...
8210 - Was a good if a little basic and no Space Impact! Kept in my pocket whilst at work when I used to be a welder and it knacked the receiver, I put it down to the fumes. Replaced by...
7250 - My first camera phone! Nothing happened to it, but replaced by...
7610 - Bought this as it was the nearest Nokia to a 6600 and was pretty crap, camera was shite in night mode, which the 6600 wasn't and the # key started playing up, so! Replaced by...
K810i - First decent camera phone but still naff in night mode! No problems with it but when due for upgrade it was replaced by...
K850i - For the most part being a good phone but the camera doesn't always do what I want it to, ie takes dark pics when light conditions are fine. Resetting phone cures it but I lose everything!

Will probably get the C905 in March.
