The Best Mobile You Owned is ?
Discussion
Why??!? What was going on in their head??? 
I had and XDA II an MDA Vario and a HTC Leo, these were all so far ahead of the game at the time they were awesome. I still remember getting the Windows Mobile update that enabled ActiveSync for email, great times! I still have a Nokia 7210 in the drawer that I get out occasionally, that must be up there as one of the best pre-smartphone options.
Modern stuff is obviously better, but there's nothing that really stands out above the competition these days.

Lumia 1020. Great phone, great os, amazing amazing camera. I can only fault it with the fact that Nokia cut costs on the CPU. When I wear out the 1020 I go buy another on eBay.
I "upgraded" to the 930, and when I lost it in Vietnam, I went back to the 1020. So much better in every way. And the camera. So good.Each iPhone I have purchased has been incrementally better than the last.
I'm currently using an iPhone 6 Plus and, of course, it's the best phone I have owned.
How it really comes into its own is as part of the Apple ecosystem. I've adopted that and the whole thing really works together - glued together with iCloud.
iCloud I use a LOT....I don't even see the point of an iPhone without it.
Interestingly a good friend of mine has a Nokia Lumia 9xx and a Microsoft Surface and an Xbox. He says this, too, is now seamless. Pretty cool.

Nexus 4 for me. My first Android phone and coming from iOS it was a revelation. Fast, bigger screen, not nearly as complicated as I thought it was going to be.
All my phones since have been good, but none of them have stood out like the Nexus did.
Me too. In fact I'm typing this on my Nexus 4. Whilst it might be fun to upgrade to the new N5, I really can't see the point in spending 300 odd quid.All my phones since have been good, but none of them have stood out like the Nexus did.

The best phone you have owned and the best you can come up with is some heap of s
t from 2003? The best phone you've owned will be one of the last two, that is surely beyond discussion.
It's possibly not really what the Op was asking but I (and seemingly others) took it as meaning which phone has stood out the most for whatever reason. That was my reason for picking the Nexus 4 anyway, of course the Galaxy S6 I currently have is objectively the 'best', it has the best camera, processor, screen and so on. t from 2003? The best phone you've owned will be one of the last two, that is surely beyond discussion.

Its looking more and more that I will be getting a S6 edge as its
1 Quite reasonable to use
2. Attractive IMHO one of the better looking smartphones
3. errrrrr cheap as its in lieu of a job I'm doing for someone its an upgrade he got and doesn't like.
I like "barebones" windows on pc's rather than the bloatware versions so if there was a barebones android install I wouldn't mind it. But I guess its not as easy as that
Hmm.
Fond memories of an Ericsson T39m.
Smartphone wise, I'm not sure. Probably an HTC Desire really - it was one of the first Android handsets that could realistically compete with an iPhone. I also quite liked my HTC Magic - running Android 1.5. It's been crazy how Android has come on in the last 6 years really.
These days I've got a Sony Xperia Z5 compact. Bought it las t week after getting pissed off with my Moto G.

Nokia 6230 was awesome and got me through Uni.The only phone I didn't upgrade at upgrade time (and ended up keeping it for 3 years in the days of 18 month contracts).
Had an MDA2 (T-Mobile's first effort at a smart phone) which sort of did the trick but wasn't really that good.
Iphone 5 now, shortly to be replaced with a 6 - which I would struggle to live without.
If I had to choose the best all rounder...probably the 6230, as the damn thing was almost unkillable.
