I inherited this one and it never left the car; it was for emergencies only.
I can't find anywhere the make/model of the 1st phone I actually bought for myself, which is driving me friggin' crazy. It weighed next to nothing, was very skinny (in both width and depth-- it couldn't have been more than an inch and a half wide), let you change the LCD backlight color to one of 6 different ones, and had a ringtone composer built in. Candy bar style, & I was with AT&T (or Cingular) at the time (May 2002). I loved that phone, & if anybody has an educated guess as to what it was, I'd love to hear it. God, I'm a dork for caring that much.
The next ones were as follows:
ca. mid-2003. Motorola v60t.
Got this one ca. July 2005. Still have it. Motorola v551.
April 2006. Still have it. RAZR v3xx.
June-ish 2008. BB Curve 8310.
Nov. 2008. BB Bold 9000. I really dug this phone, but liked the 3GS more.
white iPhone 3GS. Launch Day 2009
black iPhone 4. Launch Day 2010.
white iPhone 4S - launch day 2011
silver iPhone 5 - launch day 2012
gold iPhone 5S - finally able to pick up in-store on 10/02/13
Evidently, I'm a bit of a phone whore.
