1. Palm Pre 2. HTC Thunberbolt 3. Rezound.
Cut my smatyphone teeth on the Pre and I was hooked with the gadetry of it all. Customizing the mini computers became my obsession. But well, we know what happened to poor WebOS and the Pre's dated hardware started to feel old soo...
Grabbed a T-Bolt on a one year contract. The aging Pre and the thought that unlimited was in danger WAAAY back then made me do it. I rooted it pretty quick and overall thought it was a pretty solid phone. Battery wasnt worth crap but I had a great time learning Android with it.
Upgraded to a Rezound when it went on sale for 50 bucks...got it pretty much cause it was 50 bucks and a pretty decent spec boost.
Two months later, PANIC oh no unlimited is being killed. Lemme preorder the latest and greatest while I can still get it cheap.
Thank god for the family plan and its many upgrades.
