how many cell phone models have you gone through up to the one you have now?

I have had 3 different cell phone models up until the one i have now, so I have owned 4 different models.

 

first was a cheapo basic AT&T phone I had in highschool (only went through 1), the second was the LG CU500 (went through 2 of them, probably my favorite phone for the time), and my third was a cheapo $10 pay-as-you-go phone from Radio Shack.

the one i have now is the HTC Aria with Cyanogenmod on it. i love it because it's a small, smart phone. i hate the idea of big phones and i'm waiting on a decent, small sized phone to come out. less than 4" preferably since it's hard to find anything smaller these days. :(

 

so how many phones have you gone through and what do you have now?

Don't know. My father had one of those huge ass phones in the late 80s/early 90s. Shit looks like a military satellite phone -- he used to feel like a baller with that thing.

Eight different phones. Five in the US, two in South Korea, and one in Iraq. I'm not counting government cell phones I used for work.

In my life? hmm? Got my first phone as a Freshman in High School - kept it for several years, then got another phone. Got rid of it 2 years ago, then got my first smartphone. After about 6 months (I was non-contract) I wanted a nicer phone so I upgraded. Now I'm switching to sprint, pre-ordered the HTC One, that'll be arriving on April 19th. so lets see, counting the HTC One, I'll be on 5.

No idea. Ran through a lot of them over the years. First was a huge Motorola thing you could kill a man with. Think it was 2000 or 2001. On my second smart phone now, though.

I've lost count. I think my first mobile though (that I actually topped up myself as opposed to just borrowing one off someone else) was either a Nokia 3210 or 3310.

If you remember them as fondly as me they may bring a tear to your eye :) I sometimes miss all the pixelated simpleness of mobiles from just over 10 years ago. Scary how much technology has advanced.

I've had two. My first was a Nokia that I got in 2004 when I started high school. My second is a Motorola that came through the mail from Tracfone after my parents and I didn't buy an airtime card for the Nokia phone in time (an airtime card has to be purchased every 3 months, but there are no monthly fees and unused minutes -"units"- rollover when you buy a new card) and we lost the service on the Nokia phone (this was probably in 2007 or so).

Until your post I never even knew about that phone. It kind of looks like a wind-up and solar powered flashlight I have from LL Bean (without the flashing light on the side and the dialing numbers), which is about that same color.

4 across - let's see - about 15 years. A Motorola brick, a Nokia dumbphone, a Rumor touch, and a Motorola Triumph in that order.

I never really cared about phones, so I've only had 3 for the past 12 years or so.  I still have the Galaxy S1 lol.  I'm starting to get pretty annoyed at how old it is and how many modern features and apps have outgrown it though, so I'll probably upgrade in a few months.

My record is 7 in 1 year, back in 2002. It was a very messy year so unfortunately there were a few casualtites on the way. One of them I owned for around 6 hours. Over the years though - god knows, maybe 20? Something like that. A mixture of good and sh!t phones have been lost/smashed/fallen into the ocean/etc - that's just what phones do.

Loads since most of them were given to me when others in the family got new ones. Ericsson Motorola Nokia 3210, 2*3310, 3200 Samsung Sony Ericsson W660i (currently in use) HTC Desire. Phones bought self of those are the Nokia 3200, SE W660i and HTC Desire. The 3200 lasted about three years, the SE W660i is approaching 6 years and going strong, the Desire I gave to my mom after I had replaced the battery in it after 2 and a half years of use.

First phone was a Motorola v260 basic phone. Loved it. It did everything I needed it to and I beat the hell out of it. 2nd phone was a Motorola U6. I hated it because it was somehow slower than my first phone. The next phone I had was a Samsung Messager. If there was a basic phone that I loved more than the rest it had to be this phone. It was awesome for everything I needed and did everything I wanted it to. The ribbon connector broke and that was when I had to say goodbye to it. My next phone was the Samsung Character. It was the successor to the Messager and was somehow worse in every single way. I started working at Verizon and bought my roommate's cracked screen iphone 4. I like it but it has some notable flaws and it's slow. Recently purchased an old Galaxy Nexus and it's buggy as hell but when it works it's a good phone. 

Soooo 6?
