The Sony Ericcson W810i. This along with the Blackberries made phones an obsession.
I remember reading the W810i review on gsmarena before purchasing it.

Great article! Went on a nostalgic trip of my own. Would love to hear about your wearable experience as well.
My own journey: Nokia 3315, Nokia 1108, Samsung C130, Blackberry Curve 8520, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro (phew), Blackberry Bold 9790, Blackberry 9220, iPhone 4s, Blackberry Q5, Honor 6, Moto X Play, Oneplus 3, Oneplus 5, iPhone 8 (current).
The worst were the X10 Mini Pro and the Moto X Play. The best, probably the OP5.

Well, I guess this makes it obvious why I'm not working at GSMArena - my first mobile was the Nokia 1011 (yes, really) and I'm still using the fifth phone (second smartphone) in my list...

Nice story, was long, but easy to read. As yourself got stuck with one series of smartphones, Samsung too, but S instead and changing it every 2 years. I reach a point as yourself when prices of these new phones starting to not make sense at all, I am on S8 for now but not sure if would be really practical to go with S10 which will cost around 1000 euros

I find that third party support is fantastic and especially how old this device is.

Ohhh the Nokia 6230, whata great feature phone it was. I had one for 2 years. It was a great all rounder back then. Full MP3 sound, stereo headphones, MMC card slot, bluetooth, IR Blaster, and rock solid battery life. One of the best phones I ever had.

Still, I stand by my opinion that it was a truly great device at the time, at least compared to anything I had used.

Victor,
I am puzzled as to why you called the note 2 lackluster?
I own and still use my note 2 n7105 and I have to say its one robust handset and has never failed me to this day.
It was a big step up from the original note and brought big improements and changes.
As an owner of the s3 at the time as well I was impressed by its sunlight legability but the note 2s didnt see to have thw same tech but regardless its a great bit of kit that still to this day has so much support at XDA.
With a 10000mAh zerolemon battery it is hard to retire it now as I can hotspot, power use and with an otg cable charge up other devices in emergencies. Plus its a great mini tab for entertaining kids when out and about and ww3 is about to begin.

Nokia 6100 lover? Here, take my upvote/like/return potato.
That was my first phone, and I loved it so much that 3 years later when it died after a lot of abuse (drops/throws of the kind that'll make today's glass phones pass out in shock), I went back and bought a new one of the same model.

Trump Fan 1980, 04 Mar 2018 Dear Victor: what is a proverbial potato? You mentioned Ea... moreIt's just a meme and a pretty dated one at that. When you write a long post, you just offer the readers a potato at the end, for all their troubles and effort to read it :) Explaining it doesn't really help with the comedic effect though.
