Bosch GSM308 [1999-2001]
This phone is so old that I can't even really find a picture of it online, I remember being 12 when I first got it, it never really had anything in it besides the ability to make calls, send and recieve sms's which hadn't even been available in India at the time unless it was at an exorbitant price. I sometimes wish I had kept it just for the sake of having it as a memory instead of hastily getting rid of it since it wasn't working at all after slogging around after being demoted to my rough use phone for two further years besides it's first year with me as my primary phone.
Ericsson T29s [2001-02]
My second phone, was a birthday present to me along with a PS2 back in 01', I remember going ooh, this is stylish back then even though now I personally am repulsed by it's entire design, it was sadly rather flimsy and most of the keys started to come apart within a year of use and also it's display was torture to read so I had to let it it go, and it seemed a bit weird to have such an ordinary phone after the whole colour phone saga began to take flight in 02' as well.
Sony Ericsson T68i [Jan - Apr 2002]
The first ever coloured phone of mine, was something I had plagued my parents to get my at the time but I ended up being a tad disappointed with it since the joystick was a little annoying and I never really liked the colour as well... I ended up exhanging it with my dad for his phone a couple of months later.
Nokia 8850 [Apr - Dec 2002]
The very first time I saw my dad with this phone I just had to have it, in a way you could call it the Sirocco of the early 00's, it never really had all that many featured but it exuded truck loads of quality and snob value at the time, sadly I ended up giving it a premature death after accidently dropping it in a bucket of water and it's display was too severely damaged to repair.
Nokia 7650 [Jan - Sept 2003]
Another phone of mine that I persuaded my dad to give to me after nearly dropping dead when I figured that it had a camera and many other features that were truly unheard of at the time, probably one of my favourite phones of all time as well especially since it was probably the biggest breakthrough in mobile technology at the time, however it's only downside was it's bulkyness.. It did it's job well though and this is truly another phone of mine that I still miss.
Nokia 3530 [Sept 2003 - Sept 2004]
Despite only having this phone for a year, This probably is for sure one of my most used phones, I'll never forget the days when gprs was new and dirt cheap and I spent many a sunday afternoon on a chat site called mopilot, I had used the keys so much in that one year that there was really no silver coating left on them.
Sony Ericsson T630 [Sept 2004 - Feb 2008]
Quite certainly the longest serving phone of mine, I got it as a birthday present from my mom, it was my primary phone for 2 long years, I loved the way it's white colour used to ooze this certain level of class that wasn't really there in many other phones and it had an absolutely amazing display at the time as well, I used it and abused it for 4 years before having to let it go.
Nokia 6600 [Feb 2005 - April 2006]
Probably one of my favourite phones to type on as well as for the fact that it was durable as hell and everyone used to find it quite shocking since I had mine in a pretty unique pearl white colour compared to the general black & silver or full black ones.. It had a pretty decent VGA cam too.
Motorola RaZr V3i [May - Dec 2006]
This was probably the first ever phone that I truly found orgasmic in terms of looks, I bought it as a used piece of a friend of mine and it was already pretty scratched up but I decided to have it for the novelty that it carried at the time, however I found the whole interface to be a bit of a pain and chucked it by the end of the year.
Nokia N72 [Dec 2006 - May 2008]
This phone is for sure my favourite phone ever not because of it's features (despite them being pretty brilliant) but for the sentimental value it carried behind it during the times that I used it. It's camera was probably the best 2MP camera I've ever seen or used, an impeccable mp3 player and despite the keys looking small, they were a joy to type on... Sadly though she rang her last in Apr 2008. =[
Current Phones : Vodafone 225 / Reliance Classic 204
At the moment, I'm plodding along with two very basic phones for the time being, the reliance is mainly so I can keep in touch with my wifey since the long distance calls on it to another Reliance number are absolutely free, and the Vodafone is just my spare rough use workhorse at the moment. As for the future, I do have my eyes on a couple of phones and at the moment, I'm loving the novelty that the iphone has to it, so i might end up getting that in the end...
