Motorola 3788



Nokia 3310



Panasonic G60 or somet (cant remember where this came from, crap phone, lasted about 6 weeks before I dropped it and it broke )



Back to "trusty" Nokias: 7250 (which fell out fo my pocket and lost all sound (wouldnt ring, i couldnt hear people talk, people couldnt hear me talk etc) however it had amazing battery life.



Onto a Nokia 6230 at the mo, which has proved to be quite reliable. Been bounced a few times and its still working anyway

Blimey, everyone seems to have loads of phones over the years. I've had a few but not as many as most, probably because the contract i've had for the last 7 years does not allow me to upgrade handsets unless I change the tariff.... I dont think so!

First phone was as said above was the Motorola Flare on One2One.
Then some Nokia house brick on Vodafone, aquired a few different Nokia handsets from various sources, mainly 5110s, 6150s, ported over to PAYG then realised how crap that was!
Took out a Genie contract and ported my number but without a handset, and have had various Nokias 3210s, 6210s, 7210s, 8210s and I cant remember the names of some of them, recently got a Sony W800 and its taken soem getting used to.

My 9300 is spot on. No faults and is reasonably well put together!

My only complaint is it doesn't recognise the memory card until about 12 hours after you have fitted it...

I had as my first phone, some horrible Motorola (I think) with the flip front. It used to take a whole sim card from underneath.

Was on "One to One"'s free evenings and weekend contract, which was invaluable, and lost the company a fortune!

Then changed to the Ericson 628 as above, and had a Flare.

Then Nokia 5.1, 3110, 3210, 5110, 6210, 6230, and now the W800.
