How Many Cellphones Have You Had...

...during your lifetime?
I am on my 3rd cellphone.
In 2000 I bought a Nokia 918, and used it until 2003 when the battery died, and I was unable to get a new one, because of newer technology.
In 2003 I got a Nokia 3390. That was a good phone too, and I had that until 2007, when I decided to switch providers, and thus I had to switch phones.
In 2007, I got an LG 550 Fusic, on a 3 year contract that expires in Oct 2010. If it still works in 2010 I may renew the contract on a monthly basis and use it until it craps out, or, I may just switch providers again, and get an iPhone. It all depends on the price of the iPhone. I hope it'll have come down in price by then.

I have only ever had one cell phone in my lifetime. It is a cheap prepaid Nokia phone. I will more than likely always have just this one. I just do not ewant to have to buy another one even though I would like to have the extra features at times.

When I was in high school, I used one of those tracfones for awhile because I wanted something for communication purposes but didn't want my mother to pay a huge bill for one so I had a phone that I paid for myself. A few years later, the phone stopped working and tracfone refused to fix it without making us pay about $100 for it so we ended up getting a cellphone from an actual company. We used that one for about 3 or 4 years then we got another phone and used that one for about a year before they slowly stopped working.
I'm currently on phone number four right now and I love it. It's a touch screen phone that has a sliding face that hides a full keyboard. This is my favorite phone that I've had out of all of them and I hope it continues to work for a long time.

Ummm, I'm embarrassed to admit that I've had none, ever. My daughter picked one up for me once but then she kept it and she still has it. Someone gave her a newer phone and she may give me the one that was supposed to be mine someday. So in the meantime, I have no cell phone and never have had. I think that makes me a minority, right? LOL

I had one that I got from MCI which stands for Many Changes Instantly, it was pretty big, compared to the ones now. It was free and it was only .10 a minute, even with long distance. People would laugh at me when I would use it but after I told them it was only .10 a minute they would quickly shut up. I've had a prepaid cell, Nokia and now I have a Samsung flip phone. I guess that would make three so far.

Well i had 2 phones used in my lifetime.
My first phone was Nokia 3220. It was bought to me because i will be needing it on my first day in college. I am still using this phone up to now because i am kind of used with the keypad. It's softer and the way it loads, it's much faster.
The second phone that i am using right now is the LG Clamshell. You can rarely see this phone nowadays. I would definitely prefer Nokia from this phone because the keypad is harder and the way the cellphone loads, it's longer than Nokia. It was used to be my brother's phone, and now that he has his new Nokia phone, i borrowed it from him because of it's stylish appearance.
