What was your last phone before the iPhone?

[tharmsen]

What was your last cell phone?

For me it was a Motorola Q. Before that it was a Crackberry 7250. Before that it was a Samsung i700 first generation windows smartphone.

So, tell us about your phone addiction. :)

[DRabbit]

Razr V3, which my daughter now has and she's very happy about that - LOL

So, tell us about your phone addiction. :)

The list is long... still sitting on my desk are the following:

Sprint Moto Q
Verizon Moto Q
Treo 700p
Treo 700w
Treo 650
Treo 300I'm not a typical user though.:tounge:

[thegasguru]

Most recent was the Blackjack, which was a fantastic phone. Once I learned a couple of battery saving tricks (keep it on edge for email, etc., only use 3G when browsing internet), it was the best phone I ever had. Small, light, and with the 3rd party apps...I could make it do anything.

Had the Q before that...Treo 650...iJam...treo 600...countless others.

Still...the iPhone has the most promise of any phone. still need 3rd party apps and some OS tweaks (landscape on demand in all apps, MMS, louder volume, etc.). But there is no competition for internet browsing, the phone part is easier to use than the competition, and the iPod has no peer. The PDA part just needs some improvement.

[jbaraga]

My most recent was a Motorola Q.

Before that was a Treo 750. And a 700. And a 650. And a 600.

The iPhone is light years ahead of any of those, especially the Treos. I've never used a more unstable product than the Treo. People complain about their iPhone Safari browser occasionally closing, but I'll take that any day over having to pop the back off a Treo and doing a soft reset every hour because it was locked up.

[Quake97]

Well, my most recent phone was a Nokia N80. At home, in my tech pile, I still have...

- T-Mobile Dash
- Treo 750
- Blackjack (which I'm using right now for Exchange email)
- Blackberry Pearl

My story is actually pretty funny, at school i was known for having the most "ghettoest" phone (in a bad way). but now i can safely say that i went from having the worst cell phone to having the best. anyways i had a samsung SCH A670 which originally looked like this
http://www.mobiledia.com/phones/images/samsung/sch-a670.jpg but after a year and a half i "dropped it" and the flip part broke completely off. but it still worked i just needed to use a headset all the time since the hearing part was on the top flip side that broke off. so my phone no longer rang anymore i had to put it on silent every time i turned it on. i had to memorize the menus just to call someone in my phone book like i had to press 3 buttons then start typing there name then i could call them or just dial a number. you could never see or tell who's calling or if you have missed calls or anything. all my friends actually thought it was cool because of how it still worked and everything after being broken in half lol. and i used this phone like that for about 3-4 months lol. this is what it looked like during those 3-4 months till this day.

I had a Nokia E61 -- small, great little screen but highly unintuitive. :angry:

Amen to that. I Treo for that.

I have the 700P on Verizon...only reason I still have it is because my boss has one and the program he uses to keep times works on my phone as well since it has the Palm OS.

I'm really thinking about deactivating my Verizon phone ($200+) and getting an iPhone but keep the Treo to keep my times. But I'm looking at close to $1000 in the end and I don't think its worth it at all.

What do you guys think?

[Juego]

I had a motorolla Razor, I was going to purchase a blackjack but held off till the Iphone.

[76bronco]

blackjack was gladly put away

[Standog]

Motorola RAZR - Which I absolutely hated from day 1.
Treo 650- which I really liked a lot at first then learned to hate. From the inability to clean the screen, to multiple crashes, to complete data loss, the thing was just terrible. I never upgraded to the 700 cause Sprint would only give me $75 off after 8 years as a customer and i refused to spend $200+ on another Treo.

[Standog]

Amen to that. I Treo for that.

It's really your choice. You're only putting $500-600 into the iPhone, other than if you're under contract, I don't see where the other $400 is coming from. Though as a Treo user sick of popping the back off as you mentioned, I had an iPhone from Day one and the Treo I use sometimes to play Bejewled or as a go between sync for my PC at work. Other than that, I hate to touch it. I'd say it's very much worth it.

[lafilip]

lol, dude, those phones probably go for $10 on ebay. I think you liked the attention ;)

Anyway, past phones were:
Sprint Moto Q
Sprint Treo 700p
Sprint Treo 650
Cingular Treo 650

iPhone solves alot of problems these phones presented to me. I just was never fully happy with any of them.

[ColsTiger]

The last main phone was a first edition standard GSM Moto RAZR. I also used a Moto ROKR when I knew I would have time for listening to itunes.

[damstr]

Well on top of the $630 for the phone...I would have to pay another $250 to cancel my service since I want to keep my phone number. We're at $880 now, plus $60 for the iPhone contract and an activation fee if there is one. That's puts me just under $1000 to do this. So this is the dilema I'm in right now.

You can't count the monthly contract price. You would have that at your old provider. And the $250 is not the iphone's fault. That's just SOP for cell providers. I can understand you wanting to wait until after your contract expires though.

[danielfillmore]

i have always been a huge sony ericsson fan, and have had many of their models, my favorites being the k600i, and the s710a. my k600i i only had for like 2-3 weeks before getting tossed into a mud wrestling pit with it in my pocket. needless to say it did not survive. :( my s710a i had for like 2 weeks and decided to attempt to put a new housing on it (bad idea as it is probably the most difficult phone to take apart) i damaged something and lost that phone. i have had the t637 a few times too. recently i have been using the blackjack which is an awesome phone, but not really me. i still have the samsung d807 too which i think im going back to until i can afford iPhone. unfortunately it has a huge crack on the screen from st. patty's day when i had it in my breast pocket and fell face first onto the sidewalk, the phone being crushed between my chest and the edge of the curb! still works fine though haha! jeeze, come to think of it, im dangerous with phones, and maybe should stay away from the iPhone! i'd kill myself if i let something happen to it! i promise i will be extra extra extra extra extra careful with it.

i also had the razr the first week it came out and was $500. i played with it for 2 days, was the envy of all my friends, realized what a crappy phone it was, and took it back. i HATE motorolas interface, it is so user-not-friendly.

Treo 650
Treo 600

My son has the SLVR, and I have to agree, it's an ok phone but is not robust at ALL. He has to reset it every few weeks because something either locks up or a function stops working. We've had it replaced twice, and now the warranty is gone :eek:

Can't wait to get the iPhone later this week...

[Denny Crane]

Treo 750, but I technically still have it. Prior to that it was the Motorola SLVR

I didn't know this thread was for EVERY phone you've ever owned, but I'll play along.

Audiovox (hard-wired and mounted on a step in a '92 Toyota Camry)
Nokia 5190 - Powertel
Nokia 5165 - Cingular
Nokia 6340i - Cingular (very cool GAIT phone for when Cingular was changing to GSM from TDMA
Motorola V3 RAZR - Cingular
Motorola V551 - Cingular
Motorola E1 ROKR - Cingular
Motorola L7 SLVR - Cingular

The RAZR is the one I carried the most for the last two years. The SLVR got passed down to my son and the V551 went to my daughter before she got her V3 RAZR. The ROKR was for when I had time to listen to iTunes.

[rittchard]

Last phone was Verizon XV6700. Interestingly it matches up very well with the iPhone feature for feature, even down to the landscape mode (not automatic obviously). But as I mentioned in my blog, using most of the features was a pain in many cases.

On a side note, I just did my umpteenth demo at work and the guy was commenting on just how much simpler and faster everything was to use compared to his Blackberry.

I had a T-Mobile Dash before I got the iPhone and it's still sitting on my desk.

I miss my MSN messenger though.

[rwily]

My last phone was a Treo 650 through Sprint. It was very slow on the internet.

Blackberry Pearl, which I still have to use when I am working in southeast Asia because of the combination of:
1. AT&T's outrageous international roaming rates,
2. the fact that I can't get my iPhone sim unlocked to allow me to use a local prepaid sim card when out of the U.S. Irritating.

[RandomAlec]

Cingular 8125

I had dropped the phone twice, and it did get pretty banged up, little by little some buttons eventually stopped working after the second impact. Hence, I ended up buying an iPhone, I was planning on the 8525 but I thought I should get my money's worth and I definitely did by purchasing the iPhone. :2cool:

What a difference, a way better phone.

[lilo]

This tread is getting tired. Now what I am cutious about is what will be your next phone? :laugh2:

[comncense]

Blackberry Pearl... and I must say I'm glad my cell bill is lower now

[Tinman]

Treo 650 was my last (well I still have it, and haven't ported its number yet).

To be fair I got a lot of use out of my Treo during the last two years. And there are things it did--and does--that my iPhone cannot (besides the obvious stuff, I had a TS client, lots of nice REAL games, used as a laptop modem in a pinch, and more).

But I spent a lot of time, and in some cases money, getting that Treo the way I liked it: VolumeCare to improve the horrible volume--without it it was much worse than the iPhone, KeyCaps650 to make the keyboard better, ZLauncher to replace Palm's pathetic app launcher, custom ROM to make better use of its anemic memory, a backup app that kicked off nightly in case of a spontaneous hard reset (burned by that one several times), and more.

So it was kinda hard to give that up. Indeed I defended the Treo over the iPhone for awhile. But now? I must admit it's hard to look at my Treo anymore. And the keyboard that I once claimed was surely 1000x better than anything that could be rendered on-screen is actually a chore to use (especially the number keys).

[jbarrack]

Sprint PPC-6700 which I loved ... until iPhone. Before that Treo 650 and Treo 700p. All three with Sprint.

[jjvaldez]

treo 650
blackberry 7290


my bill is a lot cheaper then the blackberry plan...

[nhkid]

Nextel I930

[Kipper]

My last phone was the Dash, MDA, SK 2 Mr. Cartoon, Boost 930, Nextel 860, etc.

[iFun Girl]

I had a Cingular 3125. Before that, I had a Motorola mpx220.

[LMen]

Treo 650...which I don't miss at all.
Except for my program for keeping track of my milege on the car.
So until there's a work-around for the iPhone the Treo is kept in the glove box.

[brinky]

In the last year, I have had:

Cingular Treo 650
Verizon 700p
Cingular Nokia E61
Cingular Palm 680
Cingular Blackberry Pearl

The Pearl was my favorite, before the iPhone of course. It was a great phone, great batter life, I had lots of 3rd Party apps and it was even starting to get pretty good Apple support from MarkSpace.

But now I have the iPhone and am at least happy for a while. Of course since I have an addiction, i could be switching again soon. Just depends on my mood.

[oliegirl]

Blackberry Pearl (T-Mobile)
Treo 700w (Verizon)
Sidekick (T-Mobile)
Dash (T-Mobile)
Motorola Q (Verizon)
Treo 600 (I think...it all gets kind of fuzzy after the Q)

I loved my pearl, but gave in to iPhone mania and don't regret it at all...there are a few things I wish it had, but am willing to wait for updates :)

[deac]

Nokia 3587

think I didn't make a huge leap!!!!

[brinky]

have you noticed how incredibility long the Treo's battery lasts when you have the phone turned off? It is simply incredible the difference it makes. I used mine for an alarm clock for a while and the thing would last weeks compared to a day.

[F1Redbull]

The Motorola Q. The worst phone ever designed by man. Worst battery life as-well.:angry:

[jacjac2]

What was your last cell phone?

For me it was a Motorola Q. Before that it was a Crackberry 7250. Before that it was a Samsung i700 first generation windows smartphone.

So, tell us about your phone addiction. :)

It was the Nextel Motorola i850, only because husband liked the walkie feature for his work. I am now out from under his work, he is jealous.

[iRon]

Nextel i90c. Old school, thick phone that I hated to have in my pocket, but hey, the volume was loud enough!

[outsited]

from first to last was ...

LGVX6000
LGVX7000
Back to the 6000

[krossmusic]

mine was the treo 700wx...UHG, BLAH, BORING, AND CRAP. That screen UHG! The phone honestly wasn't that bad, I did find the keypad to small, but the damn screen was so bad. Low res, and small. I could not surf the net and I could not read email very well. ALSO..has anyone noticed the new Treo adds? Puching the google search and the fact you can listen to music and look at pictures with ease on your treo......

That has to be in response to the iphone, obviously.

Oh and this is my first post, I got my AMAZING Iphone last week and I love it.

[Ldc4S]

I had a regular black razr then switched to a nokia N72 now I have the iphone.:laugh2:

[erroneous]

I have never had a cellular telephone before.

I was never in a particular position, or overwhelming situation
of "reason" to have one. And still really don't.
(My main use of the iPhone is its web browsing attributes,
the photo album, the "iPod", and Google Maps.

Really, if it didn't even have a phone on it, I wouldn't miss it.

So, the only phone I had before the release of the iPhone was
the traditional land-line device.

You know, it's kind of funny.

I still don't have a cell phone.

But I've got an iPhone.

John

[kamil234]

[RyanFavre]

http://us.lge.com/download/product/image/1000000244/l1400_m_l.jpg

The LG L1400, the only cellphone i had before the iphone. Reception sucked, nothing special, but it kinda got the job done.

Crazy how many cells you guys have had. If apple gets around to adding the features it should, i'll probably stick with the iphone for life (not just my current one obviously, newer versions when my old one dies/warrenty done).

[tjespo22]

sidekick 3. went through like 5-6. suck a pos.. the aim is cool but the phone itself sucks.

[patrickj]

Still have it - Cingular 8525 (aka HTC TyTN / Hermes) ...

[Dallas Phil]

Verizon Samsung a990. Wonderful phone. I am not sure what to do with it now though.

[cherry ghost]

this blackberry was a nice intro to smart phones for me. the email on the blackberry is definitely still superior to the iPhone, but every other aspect is not as good, especially for a mac user. really happy about the iphone but would like better email support and can't stand EDGE!!!!:angry:

[kashbo25]

how bout this rokr

[magnusbaron]

18 pages of responses and only me and this person had a KRZR? hmmm

well i had the KRZR before the iphone 1542

and a sony ericsson w300i before that 1543

and a sony ericsson z525a before that 1544

and a sony ericsson z500a before that(ick by the way) 1545

and a sony ericsson t637 before that(first cingular phone) 1546

a Toshiba cmda typed phone before that. so old i can't find a single pic. all of those are within 3 years exactly. i used to get a new phone every six months. like i upgraded from my t637 to the z500a and then a few months later i had ordered two more for my sis and aunt cause they were free. well then AFTER i've already recieved and activated those two phones. i get an email saying that they are sorry but those are out of stock and they will send me the z525a at no additional charge. so i get it in the mail in like a couple of days. lol a free phone that i didn't even order. yeah yeah. ethically i shoulda returned it. but the z500a SUCKED! there's no way i was giving up that better(at the time) phone. then i upgraded one of the other 4 lines and switched sim cards to get the w300i. and then i upgraded another line again and switched for the Krzr. which i LOVED by the way. so stylish and it had a nice quality feel. i miss it. i love flip phones. anyway. iPhone trumps all so naturally i went for it. hopefully it will be the end to my upgrade addiction. like for real people were talking. i think an intervention was in the works.

[Hayesimus]

and in some order or other before those i had a nokia 51201547

and a nokia 8270 1548

and another POS nokia older than the 5120 for like honestly 3 days and then i took it back. it was the first one i had when i was a junior in highschool back in like 2000. so i think they thought i was just a kid, here take the stupid one.

[aziphone]

- T-Mobile Dash
- HP 6515
- HP 6315
- Razr
- SE T610
- Nextex i95c

you mean you didn't lover the glitch that made you turn it off and on at least twice a day? oh i sure did. or when it froze up so bad you'd have to just take the battery out entirely to get it to turn of. stupid phone

[rangerbrown]

i had a Lg CU500 then i ran it over with a 10k gallon airline refueling truck.

i hated that phone and still do.

[c_jack_70]

Blackberry Curve

c_jack_70 - what'd you think of the N95? Have heard some great things, and also some battery-life horror story type reports ...

[c_jack_70]

Pretty cool phone but no good for email. The camera was awesome, stills and video. GPS was very cool. I didn't have any major issues with the battery.

[patrickj]

Thanks. And oh yeah, forgot it also lacks a proper keyboard - assume that is why you say no go for email ...

[Dawgfan]

Blackberry 8800, Pearl and 7250. Had a VX6700 but HATED it.
I have a CU400 as a backup phone.

[Sleeper]

Thanks. And oh yeah, forgot it also lacks a proper keyboard - assume that is why you say no go for email ...

My e-mail's fine on mine. As for a keyboard, don't really need one because T9 is so easy to use. Could use a bluetooth one I suppose but what's the point?

I've typed plenty e-mails on it although I usually just use MMS if I'm sending a picture with a message.

Mind you, I wouldn't recommend the N95 for the US market although I hear Nokia are making an 8Gb version that is US 3G compatible.

[patrickj]

Fair enough - I've never liked T9 and just couldn't see myself doing more than very short messages with it. If you can manage it, that's cool ...
