Phone history thread, poorfag edition. I finally left Virgin Mobile and their shitty phone offerings for a Nexus 5X on Project Fi.
Make your own here: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/size
I am too old for this comparison site, it does not feature my first 3 phones: Alcatel OT pocket (supposedly first phone with vibration), Siemens S35i and Siemens C60
>>53501149
What colour and storage combination is your Nexus 5X?
>>53501452
How are you liking the 5X? I just ordered mine with the Project Fi discount.
>>53501509
Carbon, 32gb.
>>53501149
Here you go.
>>53501547
Cool, I've gone with the white one.
>>53501538
You and I are in the same boat. Just ordered mine, no project Fi in my country though.
>>53501586
I like the look of the white one, but I was worried that it would show wear sooner.
>>53501584
Is going back from stock android to touchwiz a bad experience?
>>53501149
What should be my next /g/?
Well, my dad used to work for nokia and i had a new phone like every 2 weeks
Also there are some that i left out.
About the newer ones. I use the m8 with together with the xiaomi note 3 and i sold the note 4
>>53502829
Obviously a 5X or 6P
>>53504406
forgot one
>>53501149
How is fi?
>>53504683
Haven't activated yet, but most reviews I've read say that coverage is good. I figure it can't be worse than Virgin Mobile since it uses T-Mobile's network in addition to Sprint's.
>>53504177
How's the OnePlus X?
is it obvious that i'm poor
(i got the S3 when the S5 was coming out)
>>53501149
Not changing any time soon. Everything seems like a downgrade.
Nokia 3310 as well.
I just keep upgrading the sensation, currently on 6.0.1 marshmallow.
i had a lot of phones.
>>53501149
I went non stock once, never again.
>>53504979
>sensation
That was a beast of a phone, remember having to short out some shit in the back to get root.
>>53504159
This
>>53505880
great
>>53501149
The LG Optimus was my first smarthphone when 1.6 was new, the fuckin thing was on a custom 4.4.4 AOKP rom.
The S Advance was SHIT, utter shit, the worst phone i ever had...came with 2.3.6, was upgraded to 4.1.2 and died, the CPU it had was when exynos was just a plan, they launched the S3 mini and another phone with the Novathor CPU and the Sony and Ericsson split, samsung just went fuck it and abandoned development.
The community was ok, since there were several phones with the same SoC, but the main developers were shit, always competing, always bitching and so on.
The Z2 is the first Smartphone i have kept stock (apart from root)
Was a bit of a Sony Ericsson fan in my teens so I had those three, the third is my favourite non-touch phone.
The first I got for my 12th birthday and was the hottest shit on birthday parties since I knew how to pirate games (From Moblie9 I think).
The second was kinda aimed at games and it had "Johnny does Texas", which I am trying to find for Android but no luck.
The third was by far the best, me and my friend made custom themes, filmed videos and edited them in After Effects CS3, I even had a tripod for it.
The Huawei was my first touchscreen and besides the battery being unusable after three months it was pretty nice.
The LG was a damn good phone for 1€ with a cheap contract, still have it for backup.
And the OnePlus One is my fave of the bunch, don't see a reason to upgrade any time soon.
getting a moto x pure in a few days
Not all the phones I've had are listed, so I'll just list them here
Pantech C300 - I got called Zoolander so goddamn much lol
LG Shine
Blackberry Torch
iphone 5C - I considered this a downgrade. Had my Torch not died from heavy usage, I'd probably still be using it
Galaxy S4 Mini - Needed ANYTHING but the 5C asap
Galaxy S6 - Thought I was upgrading, but the battery said otherwise.
-Nexus 6P w/ Fi - waiting on this in the mail, should be any minute actually.
not a poorfag, but jumping in for interest
>>53507932
>oneplus one
My nigga, best phone thus far.
>>53510127
It came in, already in love with it. The apps boot noticeably slower than the S6, but they aren't crashing in the background. Honestly not having that happen will take some getting used to
So has anyone owned a zte warp elite? I'm looking to replace my HTC m7.
>>53501149
How did I do?
I skipped all the dumb phones as I don't remember the models as well as the old motorola Razr.
I bought into the N97 hype and wow was that phone a piece of shit.
Phone size comparison tool didn't seem to work for my old phones.
All great phones except the Droid X. That thing was a bloated piece of hot garbage.
>>53511255
bretty gud
>>53511875
>downgrading from N5 to N5X
why would you do this?
>>53512179
In what way is that a downgrade?
>>53512179
I'll admit that the N5 is the perfect form factor and still my favorite Nexus phone by far, but the shit battery and mediocre camera were enough for me to move on. That and my N5 has a faulty power button that causes random reboots.
I pretty much kept trading for a better and better phone. I blew it on the S6 though as I thought the Note 4 would be an upgrade.
Only money spent was on initial iPhone 3GS and a few SIM cards.
What phone should I get in 2020?
Have I done well?
Good times
>Motorola W260G
>Samsung vertical slider
>LG BlackBerry knockoff
>Kyocera BlackBerry knockoff
>Android Dev Phone 1

>Goophone S5

Next up is a BlackBerry Classic
>>53501149
Smartphones are shit. Everything you don't need. Phone call or text, end of story. I can actually wait until I get home to email on my desktop computer.
>>53512694
>using a phone for calls and text
top kek
What kind 3rd world shithole do you live in that still uses those? I have an app for that.
>>53512694
Show me a dumbphone with QWERTY keyboard I can use as a 4G hotspot and I'll get it
>people that never had iPhones
No wonder people hate apple here
>>53512747
Had an iPod touch before my first Android.. Didn't want that OS style for a phone in the least
>>53512866
This
>>53512747
I own an iPhone and an iPad that are both running the latest version of iOS. I prefer my Nexus 5x though.
>>53501149
Here you go
How is the OnePlus 2 versus the 5x or oneplus x? Thinking about one of those three phones for my next phone. Currently the one plus 2 seems the best of the bunch
2007 >
>>53512654
>5th gen iPod touch with 4G hotspot
>>53517682
I fail to see the issue
Anything pre-k750 is estimate on model. I had a japanese imported flip phone before the k-750 too.
Man that SE k750 was my favourite. The last time I remember the era where you can skip your music track by long press on volume buttons, why did they get rid of that???? Easy pocket access to change tracks.
Also bought Nexus 5 after note 2, but gave it to mom.
>>53517773
o snap forget had Nokia n97 before the Nexus One I believe.
kinda erased it from my memory and just remembered seeing another anon having one. it sure could have been better, man the software/UI was shit.
>TFW only phone that i ever had is SGS II
I think my next phone will be an iphone. I am starting to get real sick of android.
Started cell phoning back in 2003. The first phone was only a loaner; I really wanted the Nokia first. I eventually switched to Palms, and kept using them up until HP gutted them. The Samsung Note 4 was my first Android phone, and only because of the pen. I miss having a physical keyboard.
S5 is a piece of shit
Last samshit phone ever
6p or whatever nexus is next master race soon
Nokia N73
Nokia 5350xm
Htc desire hd
Htc one x
Htc one m7
Lg g3 32gb
>>53501149
Here's mine. I'm currently using a rather usable build of cm13 on the note.
Far right isnt out yet, but looking to buy it when it is.
>>53519507
but it is out anon. i have one in red.
I can't add my first phone and current phone because they're both chink devices
>>53501689
Touchwiz has a stock Android theme included with the s7.
>>53501149
?
Okay.
>>53519533
I dont think its officially out in the UK yet. Yeah, you can buy them on ebay, but I'm not going to pay £60+ for one.
Once shops stock them they will be a lot cheaper.
Also, i'm pretty sure its only available in 'black' and 'white'.
This is what 13 odd years worth of phone ownership looks like. Got my first phone at age 10, because we had only moved to HUEHUEHUELand and my parents deemed it as a necessity that both me and my younger sister had phones, given how the unsafetiness of that fucking shithole.
Nokia 3310
Sony Ericsson K500i
HTC S710
HTC 8X
HTC One M7 Dual SIM
HTC One M8

Fellow virgin mobile bro? Still using my s3 too. Nothing better has come along with their shit offerings.
>>53517696
you have to carry more shit?
>>53519726
I can carry the hotspot without the iPod as well?
>>53519682
The last straw for me was them offering the HTC Desire 626s instead of the 626, and only the 8GB/1GB RAM Moto G. My Nexus 5X on Fi should be arriving today and I can't wait to cancel service with VM.
>>53502829
I just upgraded from the Nexus 4 to the 5. The 4 served my needs perfectly running Cyanogenmod, until I dropped it and disabled part of the touch sensor. I really don't know why I even needed to upgrade. The 4 never lagged or anything. But a refurbished 5 is so cheap now I figured I may as well.
>>53501149
No one fucking cares
I had several phones in 1999-2004, I just can't remember the exact models.
>>53522273
Around 1999/2000 everyone and their mum was carrying around a Nokia 3210 or 3410
>>53522302
I had a big ass Nokia (or Alcatel, can't remember). It looked like pic related. I also had a Samsung phone with a color display and a few slider phones.
SE w series was bretty gud
>>53521760
>No one fucking cares
...he says, in a thread with 94 replies.
>>53523366
Oh nononononoooo...
That just proves that these fine people are narcissistic, not that any of them give a shit about anyone else posting.
>>53523401
Regardless of people's reasons for posting, I'm interested in seeing what devices they've used.
W880 was the shit
Not pictured:
Nokia 1611
Nokia 3410i
Next phone is HTC 10 or Oneplus 3
Average Happiness Level
Evo --- 6/10

>>53524331
Gonna update my numbers.
Evo: 6/10
S3: 8.5/10
M9: 9/10
>>53524410
Planning on getting the HTC 10?
>>53526702
Probably not, I don't usually switch after 1 gen. I'll probably wait till HTC 11 and see whats out there.
good times

Damn! such a nice little phone, I would still use mine if I had it.
it was just beautiful.
>>53501149
The first phone I bought with my own money was a motorola krzr
I was late to the smartphone game.
>>53528081
it was pretty cute but the build quality was horrible and the camera was absolute dogshit, could only record at 240p and you had to wait like literally 6 seconds between each 2MP shot. damn we have come a long way since then.
Same here.
>>53507932
Is the OP1 not unreliable? I hear so many horror stories about those phones and Oneplus as a company
Poorfag reporting
The iPhone wasn't my choice unfortunately, but it was a very nice gift from a relative so I used it regardless
The jump to Android was incredible, the amount of freedom you get compared to an iphone is staggering. I don't think I've ever liked using a device more, barring my desktop
I don't miss the LG
>>53519588
>this is what Samshills actually believe
>>53501149
3210, 8250, T100, Treo 650, Treo 680, Sony Ericsson Equinox, gets kinda blurry here, I honestly dont remember, Lumia 620, Lumia 820, Lumia 1320, LG G3, Nexus 6
