First ever phone: A flip LG phone where you can twist the camera to face back or the front because its like a ball. It survived 2 washes in the washing machine, drops, it was close to a nokia brick. battery lasted for a week as well.
First Symbian phone: Nokia 5230- It cost me approx. 100 quid at that time, saved up like a maniac.
First Android phone: HTC Wildfire. It was fun, the 3.2 Inch screen was massive at that time, it was quite fast at that time, camera was good at...well you get the rest.
Then i got a Xperia Play in White. Awesome phone. A bit slow on Fifa 12 but yeah. Sony's software was cool and not boring. I had the biggest screen size out of 100 students, a good achievement. Watching movies was fun on 3G on Friday and Saturday nights in boring boarding school. It was too bulky due to the PSP controls.
Then i bought a HTC One X- Loved the phone to bits. I liked the HTC Sense widget, really easy and fun to use. Only problem was the battery timing and the wifi issue.
Then i got a Note II- Crap. Lagged, force closing apps, AMOLED screen wasn't the best and it felt like a china copy.
After that, i got a iPhone 5 as a gift, love it! I can scroll and type with one hand, fits perfectly in my pocket and it doesn't lag or need to be re-booted as often as Android.
Got the BB craze, bought one and just found out i gotta pay for BBM services. GTFO RIM. Yes, that's my story.
