I was browsing my ebay auction history today and hit major nostalgia
when I remembered I had 4 Touchpad at one point (yeah I got in that
99 fever just like everyone else).

And then I saw my "phone history" jpg I made back in the days when HD2
was the poo poo and swapping phones twice a year was a big deal. So I
decided to update my phone picture.

I got to say even though I swap phones alot sooner nowadays, I pretty
much stop chasing all the cutting edge stuff but have became very
adventurous in the carrier department.

I may have posted a similar thread a few years ago now that I think about it.
Let's see your phone history picture. Sorry about the size.

It barely felt any faster, if at all. I didn't like the fake buttons either. Sold it.

Nah I worked in a cellphone store for a few years its ok. There's people on howardforums and xda who brag about having something like 60 different phones, collecting them, and using multiple services at once. I thought having a bunch of phones in a year was kind of crazy but it just starts there for some people.

Edit:

vvvvvv thanks doc!

That's right. The timeline is my song to my beloved bad phones.

I excluded models that I only flirted with briefly and not worthy of my photoshop time, such as Nexus 5. :)

In reverse order, starting from my current phone.

iPhone 6+


iPhone 5S (work)


HTC One M7


Blackberry Bold (work) :barf:


iPhone 4S


HTC Evo 3D


HTC Evo 4G


Palm Pre (RIP)


Helio Mysto


LG VX8100


Before that I had a few flip phones including a Startac and something I'm almost sure was an early LG phone but I can't remember anything else. And before that a pager.

Of all of them, the Palm Pre was my favorite at the time.

I've still got my Palm Pre in a box and take it out every once in a while. Still wish they'd make a modern version of it, WebOS was amazing.

Edit: Also forgot I used my old flip phone to spread butter on my toast when I was a poor because I really wanted butter but knives were hard to come by and come on my phone was right there

This is easy.

LG Vantage, Nexus S, Galaxy S4, Nexus 5, iPhone 6.

I had the Vantage until my 3 year (yay Canada) contract ran out because all I needed was a phone anyway, and data plans in Canada sucked. Still do, but not as much. Looking at release dates the Nexus S was already getting old by the time I got it, but I think I lucked out not getting a Galaxy Nexus since all I hear is horror stories there.

The Nexus S was showing its age pretty quickly though so I upgraded early for the Galaxy S4. The Nexus 5 I bought direct from Google and sold the S4. Then Apple finally made their phones not baby sized anymore so I bought the iPhone direct from Apple and gave the Nexus 5 to my dumb brother who broke his phone.


Bell for the Vantage, Rogers for the rest.

I had a pretty average phone progression. I regret ever having a Motorola Razr. Those things were garbage rear end poo poo. My primitive Nokia flip phone had much better battery life and reliability. Motorola Photon was probably a mistake too, since it was a handicapped Android phone that was never upgraded past Android 2.3, though it wasn't that bad realistically for day-to-day usage.
