Panasonic Allure
Nokia 3390
Nokia 8290
Ericcson T68m
Siemens S46
Samsung E310
Nokia 6610
Nokia 3220
TMobile SDA
TMobile Dash

That's far too many.

edit: i dont think I got my first phone in late 2007...

spend the 100-200 dollars and get a phone that will last for a year and still do what you want it to do and more. People are soo tight with cell phones and they typically use it more than their land line.

I've had 2 phones since 2001 and didn't spend a dime on either of them, there's no correlation between quality and price when it comes to cell phones. The more expensive ones just come with more useless stuff.

starting in 2000 -
had a piece of crap nokia, battery kept coming loose had to keep a rubber band around it... (kept this 1-2 years)
then had a piece of crap samsung flip. after 1-2 years the hinge was basically worthless, and it dropped most of my calls in under a minute (initally blamed sprint, turns out it was just the phone)
dec 03, got a sanyo 8100. this thing rocks, works as well as the day i bought it, sturdy little bastard. only blemishes are from where i have dropped it. next phone will def be another sanyo

so 3 phones, 7 yrs
