My e71 is probably the best phone I've ever had. Nuff said! For me the N900 never was about calling and phone features (which are rubbish), so I'm not even considering it in this.

Second and third place is taken by my first and third ever phones. The Alcatel Barclaycard phone I got in 1997. It had features ahead of it's time that convinced me to get a mobile. Balance checking, mini-statements and the like. It was also the thinnest phone I'd ever seen before the Startac came along.



My Nokia 5110 was a great phone. Reliability, loooong battery life, multiple ring tones and of course snake. I thought express covers where a bit gimmicky and I never changed mine.



Then around 2001 I got the first Western colour screen phone the Sony Ericcson T68. It was a great size, excellent keypad (with the first extra long battery life and the screen really gave a glimpse of the future mobiles. Bluetooth for the masses and most importantly T9. What a phone! It gets an honourable mention.
