Diary of a Recovering Phone Addict
UPDATED: Nov. 12 2009
Here's my phone history since mid-2002, roughly in the order of phones acquired or used. Some for work, some only had for a few days.
Currently, I use a Nokia E71-2. I keep an iPhone 8GB (2.2.0 firmware) and a Nokia 3120 (from Rogers) as backup phones. Got a Nokia 3590 too, also from Robbers Wireless (Rogers AT&T, to be exact). Also got an EMOBILE S22HT that's recovering from water damage. The rest of my family uses Nokias too, incidentally. My mum has a Nokia 3100 (upgrading her to a custom Nokia E51-1), my brother a Nokia N95-4 NAM, my dad in Hong Kong a Nokia 6021 with a Nokia 3390 (old-school!) as a backup.
Wow.
From 2002-2006, I was nabbing my parents' phones or using free phones from carriers:

Nokia 3590 (Rogers AT&T, still using the same phone number and SIM card today!)
