Not sure if this old Windows Mobile HTC Tilt with a stylus and resistive touch display is the oldest or my Samsung Blackjack.

I also have an HTC G1 that I will probably keep forever as a collectors item. I bought that one the day it came out.

The Blackjack is a little bit older than the Tilt. It came out in 2006. Though I think we could have a debate about a Windows Mobile Standard phone being a 'smart device'.
 
I still have a Nokia N72 collecting dust at home.

And talking of vintage, I also have the 5110 and 3315 collecting dust at home.
The rest of the phones (all Nokia, 1600, 2323c, 2700c) were stolen... 🙁
 
I have various random dumb phones at home. Kid plays with them.
Functional smartphone would be the samsung captivate. Still works. Just flashed a custom 4.3 rom on it because I could. It sits in a drawer in the event that something ever happens to my GN.
 
I still have my Nokia 3650 laying around somewhere. The thing took pictures and video...couldn't beat that back in the day.

One of the first video phones out there.

My ngage had a FM radio that I could record from and make it my ringtone or listen to as "mp3" and play sonic.
 
Only have had 2 smart phones - never saw the advantage of having the latest & greatest toy.

Got the HTC EVO in June '10 and was used for 2 years and needed warranty work; Needing a replacement phone, I got another HTC LTE under my plan. When the EVO came back, I gave it to granddaughter under my plan. She gets to use it while in college

Previous to that HTC I had a 3yr old Sanyo that could do text and pictures. Not a smart phone.
 
I just threw away my Palm Pre+ but it still worked.

Otherwise, I still have my original Droid Incredible (CM7 installed on it) that I bought used and had on Verizon. Still working great...my 5 year old son uses it for games. No longer connected to Verizon of course... Wi-Fi only.

I currently use a RazrM (employer provided). My wife has my old HTC Rezound (S-Off with a cleaned up Sense based ROM on it, & extended battery).

Samsung Omnia. The music player (PocketPlayer) on WinMo 5/6 is still better than anything else out there. To me anyways... 🙂

.

i still use mine on occasion as well, that omnia was a good phone IMO. i also liked the ability to hack into the registry and change stuff at that level. and the camera was top notch for night time photos, loved it.

i also called and asked verizon about hooking it back up without a data contract, they are now able to be used as phones with wifi data only. same as the storm, i have 2 of those floating around as well.
