As the title suggests really.
For many years ran nokia 8 series, last year the 8800 Arte went kaput and I got an i phone. Now I may be getting a work colleagues S^ Edge
But I would be much happier with another Arte. It works for me simply because I don't need to use e mail on the move. Tweeting and facebooking my latest purchase from the shop doesn't hold any appeal.
I know I am a bit of a special case but ..............

Still have my old one (8800 arte), occasionally stumble upon it in the back of the draw ...work of art, pinnacle of mobile phone before we all had to go "smart"

Other greats were the Ericsson 237 and Nokia 2110 (with a whip ariel) .....or the original smart phone nokia 9000
I am trying to get one on e bay but its harder than a few years ago as they are either mega priced or dubious fakes

The best phone you have owned and the best you can come up with is some heap of st 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.
Bob on and very polite too !
FWIW the arte hailed from 2007 or 2008 not 2003 and as I hinted my circumstances are different to most peoples.
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
