What Phone Did You Use Before Your iPhone?

It seems like it’s been forever ago that my son’s momma walked in the door with matching iPhone 3G’s. Little did I know that day would literally change my life. Never in my life did I think that losing a trackball would open up the doors to substantial opportunity.

My interest in technology, specifically Apple, compounded itself to an infinite proportion. That being said, I started asking myself today, what device did our iDB readers sport before their current iPhone?

My list isn’t anything to write home about, in fact I suspect the gradual trend displayed in my cellular advancement could be an outline for many smartphone users. Here is a brief timeline of the last 5 years of cellphone ownership:

  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPhone 3G
  • Blackberry 8300
  • T-Mobile Sidekick
  • Free flip phone

Needless to say I have been quite happy with the way this sequence unfolded. Next to my son, getting gifted an iPhone was the best present I have ever received. How does your list compare to mine? Let us know in the freedom of speech section, known as the comment box.
