Re: Your own personal device timeline
 

Motorola (dunno which exactly) around '95, didn't use it much though.
Sagem (again, no idea which) around '98, stopped working after a few months
Nokia 5110
Nokia 6310i in early '03 (first phone i actually liked, before i didn't even have 'em with me most of the time)
Nokia 6680 around '06
Nokia E51 right when it came out, end of '07 (best phone-phone ever IMO)
Nokia 5800 end of '08 (with the new firmware release recently it's actually becoming a decent phone)
Nokia N900 dec. '09

hopefully i can keep this one for 2 years, but i'm afraid that Maemo 6 is gonna thwart that plan *g*

Re: Your own personal device timeline
 

I'm not really a big phone switcher. 5 devices in 12 years is not a lot. I usually have them until they croak, or there is some serious "must have" released.
I can't remember what my first was.. starting from the second one:

1997 Nokia 3110 <- Don't remember what it was like. Broke the antenna.
2000 Nokia 3210 <- sturdiest phone ever. Dropped in toilet.. twice, and kept on ticking. Lasted 4 years!
2004 Nokia N-gage <- Awesome awesome device. especially with frodo and ik+. Still play it sometimes :)
2007 Nokia N95 <- Good video camera on this one. Gave it to my mum.
2009 Nokia N900 <- Greatest device ever.

In chronological order of purchase:

USRobotics Pilot 5000
3Com PalmPilot Pro
IBM Workpad 20X
Sony Clie SL10 [1]
Nokia 770
Nokia N800
Openmoko Neo1973 [2]
Nokia N810
Amoi Skypephone S2[3]
Nokia N900 [4]
Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition
HP Pre 3[5]


[1]Notice a pattern? Though I was getting fed up with PalmOS and really wanted a Zaurus clamshell at that point, but getting one of those shipped from Japan was way outside my budget...
[2] It was 2007 and I had a severe case of this, but I ended up not doing much with it because I hated the screen size, touch UI and the fact that it's a phone.
[3] For use as a BT/HSPA modem only - cheapest option I could find.
[4] Borrowed for testing, not purchased (for pretty much the same reasons as the Neo), returned.
[5] Replacing the dumbphone, not the N810s
