The ones that I absolutely loved (excluding the spica) were the:

- Samsung Soul u900 (think that is the correct model number?), the touch navigation screen was so cool and the camera quality (for photos) is pretty damn good (even for todays standards), not to mention it looks so nice as well :cool:

- all sony ericsson phones were amazing

The worst one was definitely the motorola flip, tiny **** screen and the camera was awful! It was very cheap at the time and was when I didn't really care too much about phones back then so it did the job :p

All in pretty much perfect condition as well :o :p Apart from the Samsung Soul as I give that to my mum when her one broke, so got dropped many times, sat on many times etc. :rolleyes:

I've still got my very first mobile, a 7110!

Jesus i had one of those! It was a pretty decent phone TBH and the frist one to make me feel like 'Business' like LOL. My first phone was the Nokia 3210 phone as well, in Silver, but my favourite phone of all time is the Galaxy S2, it's such a leap for me.

EDIT - LOL this thread is serious memory lane stuff, i also had a 8210, first phone where i constantly used the radio on it.

Nexus: I had three of those. The 3310 (but who didn't?!), K750i and the Samsung Soul. As you said, the Soul was a superb phone, very well made and felt very solid, and looked great compared to most other Samsung sliders around at that time that weren't particularly attractive.

The only thing that let it down in my opinion was the software, the fluidity and 'polish' of the interface was rather lacking compared to the Sony Ericsson handsets I'd had before, and the OLED touch panel wasn't used nearly as well as it could have been.

Still got mine though, only old phone I do still have. My Mum has my Sony Ericssons!
 
I found the software pretty good, although as said wasn't very fluid, sometimes took like 3 seconds for the contacts to be shown :o Personally preferred the interface too :p Really liked making my own themes, had some pretty cool ones :cool:

But mostly stuck to the grey/silver one and the night/neon theme.


Yeah, it could have been utilized a bit better like showing a missed call etc. but found it rather neat when you went into an app e.g. music player and the 4 icons would change to the required stuff like pause/play etc.


Absolutely love the design/looks (was the best thing about it IMO), the white back light for the buttons etc. everything about it was great :D Couldn't fault it.

Imagine how the GS 3 would have looked if it had been the same finish etc. as the soul :cool:
 
I've seen phones here that I forgot I owned til I seen them :D

Phones that stick in my memory:

3310..obv
5110..
SE P900..brick
SE P910i..brick
LG Chocolate...awful
Motorola V3...awful
N95...was good, but battery sucked balls
Trium Mars...my first WAP phone..burnt all my credit in wap chat rooms....what a geek lol
Sony Jxxx...posted on here somewhere
SE T63...first and only contract phone 100mins and texts for 30pm!! My average bill was 70pm lol they tried so hard at the time to keep me. The retention guy got a right ****** on.
 
Ah pimping out my 5110 with screen icons from Bolt Blue. Brings back many happy memories.

Had this bad boy.

Also had the trusty 3210, 3310, 3330, basically most Nokia I've had at some point or the other.

My favourite has got to be this though.

I actually loved that phone. Brilliant piece of kit.
 
I remember having a Nokia 6600 as a kid. It was amazing at the time!

For me, I found the best phone I've ever had was the Desire S. Never had an issue with it till I dropped it. :(
