Motorola Q, I had it 4 months before I just about threw it off my balcony and across the street. It's battery lasted, oh about twenty minutes.

VZW retention sent me a BB Pearl. Honestly, I loved that Pearl, just wish it had more onboard memory.

True smartphone? The Droid I still have.
Before that it was a mess of WM PDA's and semi smart phones like the LG Voyager.
It has some apps (not many) but came with a full fledged media player, web browser, navigation and more, so it sorta qualifies.

Also had the G1 for a week. And had a Palm Pre, BB Bold and Curve, Nokia E71, and the iPhone 4. But all of those were eventually turned in.

My first smart phone would have been a Nokia E90 but I couldnt afford it.

- Palm Centro for Sprint.
- HTC Touch Pro for Sprint
- HTC HD2 for Tmo.

Which ever you would considered a real smartphone I got in order.

Original iPhone 2G 4GB - which I bought from the Apple store, never activated and then spent ~7 hours straight on IRC with a group of hackers so that I could get it to work on T-Mobile. That was fun... except the 3 times that I thought that I'd broken it permanently.

Technically the Moto Droid. That was the first phone I had seen that was actually like a mini pc. Strangely enough, I found out about it when my mom showed me hers. I had no idea phones had advanced so far. And she's about the least tech savvy person I know. Knew I had to have one and got it the next weekend.

Found it to be too slow though, swapped it for an Incredible a week later. Unfortunately the Inc was too slow to handle live mlb.tv in HD, both in hardware and connection speed.

Now with the Tbolt, my dreams are realized. Can easily stream mlb.tv.

HTC Mogul - HTC Touch - HTC Touch Pro - Samsung Epic

The only one I REALLY consider a "smart" phone is the epic. There is just no comparison lol.

My next phone may be the Samsung Within (GSII) if I upgrade within the next couple months. However, that may or may not happen and if it doesn't I will see whats out at the time.
