Nokia 6600

Really? I think that was my worst ever phone, apart from the overheating N95 8GB (my last Nokia before I switched to the iPhone 3G).

My best Nokia was the 8910i. It still works.



I tried Ericssons, Motorolas and Sonys, but nothing every matched up to Nokia in pre-smartphone days.

Now my best phone is the newest, the iPhone 6S.

Lets face it, the 7110 was the coolest phone, because of The Matrix

[LordGrover]

Matrix was the banana phone, no? The 7110 above came later I think.

Loved my 6150e back in the day - bombproof.



Also my SE T610.

I'll vote for that one too.

My first mobile... round about 1998 I'm guessing. Was still working just fine in 2007 when I gave it to someone for a pay-as-you-go emergency.

So robust, if anyone tried to mug you for it you could beat them with it, then use it to call them an ambulance.

The mobile that you could actually end a call by slamming the phone down on someone.. literally...

...Until the front snapped off

One of my mates had one and when he was using it as a Bluetooth modem he would wrap it in a bag of frozen peas to try and cool it.
It should have been called the N95 AGA.

Correct.

my mate was working for the IT dept the then Cellnet (pre O2)

he had a new phone every few months, he had both the 7110 and 8110.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Great screen, fast processor, loads of storage & very good battery life for the size of it. Endless possibilities for customising.

The phone in the Matrix was the 8110, but with a spring-loaded slide like that of the 7110 (the actual 8110 didn't have the spring-loaded slide).

Both of those phones are in my kids' toy box.

Probably either my old Sony Ericsson W950i, or my current Xperia Z3.

W950:



4Gb of storage back in the days when you were lucky to get 128Mb SD cards, brilliant music player, touchscreen with handwriting recongition, battery would last for days, and a version of Symbian that actually worked (UIQ). No camera was the only downside.

Z3 - utterly fantastic phone, great camera, good battery life, lovely screen, enough power to handle anything you throw at it. Going to keep it until it breaks (which in my experience of Xperias, may be a while).

Oh and the worst phone I've had? iPhone 4. Overpriced inflexible unuseable garbage. Lasted 3 weeks before I sent it back.

If apple did something simple like move the back button from the top left to the bottom left it would be a massive improvement.

You mean, like this

or this:



My best phone: Nokia 5110

My "best" smartphone: Samsung Galaxy SII

not quite

this is what I mean

No, fk that.

I like iOS as it is, and it works perfectly fine on my iP5. Got on my nerves having the back button at the bottom of the phone on the last Android I had. As much as I agree that iOS needs a big refresh, the layout needs to stay the same IMO.

I agree, the back button on Android and WP8.1 are infuriating in their inconsistencies.

Sometimes it exits you out of the app, sometimes it takes you to the previous page.

Good call. That was my first smartphone that got me hooked onto smartphones - very compact and functional.

[Esseesse]

My current iPhone 5.

[EnthusiastOwned]

Motorola V70 - Swivel phone, blue screen and dials - real rare and classy back in the day.



Orange SPV C500 - Smart Phone before smart phones existed. Windows phone. Could play MP3's, video's, web browser, extended memory, high res screen. Game changer. Absolutely loved this.

Didn't you need a stick to use windows on them?
