Mine had a custom flip down case with light up buttons! miss those days
then runner ups would be the sony walkman phones to save you having to carry around yet another device

Samsung Galaxy Note.
Beautiful 5.3" OLED screen with 64GB SD card, great for movies on the go.
Got Lollipop installed, while using the forth battery, all for £300 back in 2011.
Really got my money's worth, since nothing else has caught my attention, and it still works. Perhaps will retire it this xmas.

Runner up, has to be iPhone 1st Gen.

I recently upgraded from the Note 1 to Note 4 due to a number of factors and TBH the Note 1 still stacks up well against it - I actually miss the 16:10 aspect ratio and the only thing that I really notice being better is the camera. (The Note 4 screen has a better feel for touch use and looks a little crisper and the extra resolution smooths some stuff out nicely but not so much that its a fundamental change to the experience).
Unfortunately I've run into the "super capacitor" issue with the Note 1 where it drains battery at a fair rate and due to a complicated issue with the eMMC brick bug I'm unable to update it to a newer version of Android than 2.3.6.
The original Note still ***** on most recent phones IMO.

I have lots of favourites, but probably the Nokia 7110...
That the Matrix phone? If so, I always wanted one, but CEX at the time of the films was flogging them for £300+!

Nokia 6210
It had a nuclear reactor for a battery, you could use it for a week and barely see a drop in power. As a phone it did it's job

Nokia 6500 Classic
Such a well built phone, out around the time that slide up phones were the big thing so nobody really had one. Hell I might try and get a used one as a work phone.

Probably my 5510 with mp3 player.. My first Mobile
Hate to say it, but I had iPhone 1 imported into UK before release here.. And it was genuinely a revolution
Notable mention to Motorola razer max HD
Worst phone
Samsung galaxy nexus
And
Current one plus one

Obviously Nokias were the handsets to have back in the early 2000's. But I do remember the Nokia 6220 Classic. It was going to be an iPhone 3G at the time. But then I saw this baby and thought "iPhone what?"

Bestest ever was the Samsung SGH-z500v.
Screens front and back, along with cameras, colour screen, loads of games, hot-swap micro-SD, folding design, perfect keys... And it was tiny - Pretty much the pinnacle of phones getting smaller while remaining affordable and before they jumped to being massive plates of thin glass, this Samsung actually fit in the 'watch pocket' of my jeans. It sat in the hand well, it was tough as anything and even today it will work fine if I switch it on!
Only reason I moved on was texts took up too many characters.
Notable mentions would be the Motorola StarTac (beam me up), the Nokia 3110 that took a hit from a sword to kill it, and the ultra-cool Orange SPV M5000 which is the lovechild of a phone and a laptop.

TOTALLY! Also the first phone I ever kept for more than a year because I was so happy with it.
Honourable mention to my Ericsson T28 just coz it was a sexy little thing
Think the Matrix used the 8110 - but they are very similar.
The original Galaxy note. It came in when we were all using iphone 4's etc and their tiny screens, people made fun and referenced Dom Joly...a lot... seems Samsung were spot on with their large screen devices.
I loved mine, replaceable battery and S pen made it very useful when travelling. I could leave the laptop in the bag most of the time.
I had a note 2 and note 4 also, when the 6 comes out, I think Ill be hard pushed to settle for anything else.
