Do you remember all the mobile handsets you have owned?
I did a stock-taking of mine out of oddity and here's what I have been through...

1995-1997: Motorola CD920
My first ever cellular handset (dual band: GSM900/1800)

Ericsson was a hit, it was fashionable and everyone carried one.

The so-called "wearable phone" was the world's smallest and lightest then. It weighed just 88g & it was an envy amongst my peer.
1999-2000: StarTAC 130 Slim
As if 88g was not light enough.

When everyone chose the trendy Japanese manufacturers, I had eyes on the Korean bet. I liked it light, practical and different.

Bought it as soon as it came out in the market - a rather expensive choice back then but was the first MP3 phone with reasonable audio quality - Felt rather good carrying a trend setter.

2003-2003: Nokia 6600
My first handset with a camera - though I said I didn't want to be Nokia slave then.
2003-2004: Nokia 6100
Surrendered to the slim, lightness and the all-rounded feature of this handset.
2004-2005: LG 8120
My first 3G handset that can make video calls.
2005-2006: Sony Ericsson K608i
Sony + Ericsson = first time when style & practicality got married.
2006-2007: Nokia 6288
Boomerang to the Nokia camp as this phone was a bargain and honestly flawless after all.

Totally impressed by its Cybershot 3.2M & its AF function.

2009-2009: Sony Ericsson W995
Classic slider technique, a mechanism that was strangely addictive when I had it in my palm.

2009-2010: Sony Ericsson Aino
The Aino has pretty much everything - plus a simple-but-snappy touch media menu.

2010-present: Apple iPhone 4
Finally - the Apple defiant has converted to iPhone in 2010 and this device has become the longest I have hung onto till this very day.
Can't help but wonder...what would be my next pick?
