I do remember the company I was working for at the time renting a 'del boy' phone. £80 a day and some crazy pence per minute and if you went over that even by a second you were charged. Still, it did lead me into getting my own car phone in 1990.

I had a really chunky Nokia as my first phone
Then I had an Ericsson flip phone
Then another Nokia
Sony Ericsson K800i
Wife's Sony Ericsson K800i

That's it.

1. Motorola L7089: Didn't know jack about phones at the time, I just liked the reflective display. This phone did sterling service with my mum for about 8 years after this.
2. Nokia 3310: It worked, but for some reason I thought it was a bit girly.
3. Siemens C35i: Annoying adverts. Weird little phone. Incredibly robust.
4. Sagem MyX-5: colour! It had TEH INTERNET! French.
5. Orange SPV E100: Oh dear. An early Windows phone. This was never going to be all that good. It wasn't.
6. Sony Ericsson K700i: Very, very good at the time. Brilliant display and the smartest-looking interface I'd ever seen.
7. Sony Ericsson P910: Excellent smartphone. Miss this, although I don't miss the fact that it was roughly the size and weight of Sedna.
8. Nokia 6710: Interesting design, brilliant big keypad. Oddly unsatisfying to use.
9. Samsung D500: Unfeasibly bright screen. Idiosyncratic interface, but usable. Very good slider mechanism. Rubber strip across the bottom of the screen meant avoiding the "thumbprint on the screen" problem that most sliders have.
10. Orange SPV M600: I don't appear to be a fast learner. Windows remains the only mobile operating system to have crashed on me during a call.
11. Sony Ericsson T610i: Beautiful little phone; I bought this off eBay, simply because of what it looked like. Sadly, the low screen resolution meant that I couldn't live with it.
12. Nokia 6310i: Off eBay, rockin' it old school. Brilliant, brilliant phone. Naturally, I sold it. >facepalm<
13. Nokia 6300: Bloody ace. The thing that lets it down is the battery life, which is, frankly, pish. But hey. It's a great phone.
14. Sony Ericsson W910i: Great phone, good screen, excellent software (on the phone, not on the PC: S-E's PC stuff was, is and remains a stinking pile of fetid dingo's kidneys) but the build quality meant that within a couple of months, the phone looked a couple of years old. Slider not up to Samsung standards, either.
15. Apple iPhone 3G: Build quality beyond reproach, screen vast and bright. Some niggles around the call list (it's primitive compared to the lists on Nokia and S-E phones) and the speed of the interface, though. Mobile web browsing finally usable for me. Oh, and Bejeweled 2. Timethief.
16. Nokia 6310i: Bought another one, because I periodically go all nostalgic.
17. RIM BlackBerry 9520 Storm2 - Miserable st of a phone. Could have been great, but the world's worst software interface to the touchscreen and some appalling bugs meant that it was an exercise in frustration.
18. RIM BlackBerry 9700 Bold - Great phone, excellent screen, long battery life, brilliant for email. Hopeless at web/games/music/etc. About as much fun as a mouthful of magnolia emulsion paint.

ETA: Work handsets:

1. Nokia 3410 (work): Utter crap. Horrible keys, cack radio performance. Annoyingly durable, though.
2. Nokia 3019 Classic (work): Built like a tank, goes scruffy quickly, though. I've had reports that outgoing call quality isn't all that good. Hence I got the E51.
3. Nokia E51 (work): Oh, so >close<. Brilliantly made, superb battery life, excellent software, excellent voice quality in both directions, gets a signal even when there isn't one. But the earpiece volume is just too damn quiet. eBay beckons for this, and I'll be genuinely sad to see it go. But it's just not doing it.
4. RIM BlackBerry 8520 Curve: Good at email, not bad at calls, battery life not bad. Screen is bright but too low-resolution, especially compared to things like the Bold. Very robust. The rubberised surround looks like a Rover Streetwise but makes it near-on indestructible.

Many, easily into 100.

I have 19 on me right now, made going through airport security a little difficult today.

Do you answer them each with a different name?

And a different voice.

I have owned 2, having just got my second one after not having one for 7 years.
I hate the thing, ha ha - my contact list has 2 people on it and it's staying that way

[S47]

2 PAYG since 1999
a Motorola 'brick' on 'one 2 one' which died after 13months
and my current Sendo [nearly 10years of use] which has lasted till now on Voda -Awesome phone even the original battery still has full charge duration - over a week of use
Am I getting another one - nope not till this one fails, and when it does I'm buying another 'Sendo' - top brand
