When switching to Verizon recently, I felt a little nostalgic as I packaged up my 20 month old EVO 4G (which had never seen 4G) to send in to get back my ETF. I dug through my box of old phones-- I had a habit of keeping an old phone in case I had to reactivate it for an emergency situation. I thought I'd do a history of my cell phones and see if other members felt any nostalgia and wanted to share their phone histories as well. Here goes: First Phone: Nokia 252 on Alltel... AMPS all the way! I threw this phone away years ago... Second Phone: Samsung SPH-N400 1xRTT when I first joined Sprint in October 2002. PITA that you had to get on the web everytime you got a text since it didn't have SMS, but the phone still works if I still had an old Sprint universal charger. Third Phone: LG VI-125 SMS at last!! This phone still works if I could find one of those universal Sprint chargers. Fourth Phone: LG LX-250 Bluetooth! I got a car with it, so had to get a phone to use it. This phone didn't use the Sprint charger so I remember having to buy a car charger-- but this little guy still works. Fifth Phone: Samsung Instinct smart-ish phone... I had the MSL so I enabled the PAM and tethered all the time. I remember how lucky I was with this phone and its 2 batteries after Gustav when we didn't have power for 5 days and the land line went out for a week too. I sent this back to Sprint for a rebate when I got my Evo. Sixth Phone: HTC EVO 4G -- a great phone when on wi-fi or running a Verizon PRL... In pristine condition with an unused WiMax radio so I get $50 for it to pay my ETF! Seventh Phone: Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX -- holy battery, batman! and Oh, LTE!!!!
