What was your first smartphone?

[+Frank B. Subscriber²]

For me it was a Samsung Galaxy W bought in early 2012. Prior to that I had a Nokia 5230, of which I'm not sure whether it counts as real smartphone.

The LG Optimus S. It was my first Android phone I thought it was the coolest thing. It introduced me to the Android OS and got me playing and loving angry birds. The LG Optimus S was a reliable phone and performed fairly well. I dropped the LG Optimus S many times and it survived . Last year in 2012 I sold it and upgraded to the HTC EVO 4G LTE which is more powerful and has a bigger screen.

Prior to smartphones, I connected this to WAP over IRDA:

And then after a while, this:

Then sold my soul for this:

Lumia 520 since about a month

Couldn't justify owning one before, but for that price, I had to cave in

Well I had a Motorola that looked like an n-gage, wish I knew what model it was, it was my favorite phone, which I had in 2003-2004, then moved on to the Razr.

 

If that doesn't count, then I had a Samsung Blackjack in 2007, and had that for about a year and used it during my 15 month deployment and moved onto the iPhone 3GS when I got back into the country.

[Syanide]

At the time Symbian was considered a smartphone platform, sooooooooooo:

 

 

Nokia 6600, got it back in 2007. What's crazy is that only now while googling it I found out it originally came out in 2003.

 

First proper smartphone is a Samsung Galaxy S Plus which I got in April last year.

Hello,

I am not sure if it counts as a "smartphone," but I had a Motorola StarTAC with an adapter for a Franklin REX 5000 PCMCIA-card PDA.  The device had to be plugged into a PC though, to get any meaningful amount of data out of it.  This would have been in the mid-1990s.

 

I also had a Palm Vx with a OmniSky Minstrel V cellular cradle.  This wasn't a smart phone, per se, but it allowed me to browse the web via PQA applets like AvantGo at a blazing 19.2Kbps over AT&T's CDPD network.  I had this device through the mid-to-late 1990s.

 

Probably the first smartphone I owned that qualified for the name was the Motorola MPx200, which ran Windows Mobile for Smartphones.  This would have been 2002-2003

This was my first, except in the virgin mobile flavor, the optimus v. Which looks exactly the same as this aside from the sprint logo. Was decent enough nearly 3 years ago. Except for the camera, that part of it sucked.

[Sir Topham Hatt]

HTC Desire.

[Astra.Xtreme]

This thing was such a piece of junk.  I had it on Sprint without a data plan (which made it kind of pointless), but it ran Windows Mobile which was bad bad bad.  I remember flashing an Android ROM onto it, which ran better, but it was back when Android really sucked.

 

Upgrading from that to an iPhone 4S was such a relief.

My first smartphone was a Blackberry Storm. Briefly. I owned it for a few hours. Never again.
