Congrats on your 3000th Post, NiN!

I've spent 25 dollars on Android so far. 300 on iOS, I think the Android figure will at the very least quadruple of not more.
I think I'm about $200 into the apps on Android, around $500 in accessories and random stuff and $3-4k on devices over the past 3 years. Never thought about how expensive this hobby was until just now.
Seriously, the small purchases start to add up! But i've never been an accessories guy.
My first Android phone: Verizon Android Powered LG Ally Release Date May 20th I got it on the release day and signed my first contract with Verizon for a personal account; at that time I didn't know anyone who had an Android; the iPhone was probably popular, but enterprise was still stuck on blackberry. You can look at the specs on that thing and understand how lame it is by today's standards, but I was thoroughly entertained and Android and I had a lot of fun together... LG included the stock Android Eclair launcher along-side their own launcher... I didn't know that until the Froyo update in January or so 8 months later. The Ally came with 128MB storage with an option to upgrade with SD to 16GB. It had a 600MHz single core processor and a physical slide out keyboard.
I traded it in for the first device I ever lusted after, pre-ordering the HTC Thunderbolt; the first LTE device on Verizon and it was a monster at 177g; all of it sexy. Giant kickstand, dolby speaker powering a 4.3" screen, 1000MHz scorpion processor and for some reason it had less battery capacity than the Ally... The camera on this thing, an 8 megapixel was just flat out awesome. I still love looking at the photos that it took of my daughter after I passed it on to my wife. It had it's issues, especially for people who liked to wait on Verizon for updates (silly people, never learn) and thus began my tinkering with ROMs, etc and a long XDA posting career.
The day the Galaxy Nexus came out at my local Verizon I had it in my hand. This wasn't lust, this was love. Prior to this one, I used to love debating iOS versus Gingerbread and it was a close call. ICS changed that and finally gave a polished, unified experience that pushed Android into the forefront of mobile tech. This was my first Nexus and while I've played and flirted with other devices since, if it's not a Nexus it can move right along. My first GNex died this winter to catastrophic screen failure. The replacement took minutes to have rooted and updated to 4.2, even though Verizon still hadn't released their OTA and within a few hours, it was an exact duplicate of the one that was lost. My wife now is on the Galaxy Nexus as well, having upgraded from the Thunderbolt to the GNex in November.
I've purchased several Android tablets, including the TF300 from Asus and it was cool, but was still missing something... it had ICS, it had solid specs and very little issues, an awesome keyboard dock... the Asus UI is very similar to the stock interface, so not a lot of feeling the need to modify it.. but it just wasn't right. Then the rumor mill started talking about an Asus Nexus Tablet. I think we were all like puppy eyes on a tennis ball.
I pre-ordered the Nexus 7 while they were still on stage announcing it. I/O 12 was exciting; the hardware, the software of Jelly Bean, app updates.... the knowledge that within days my Galaxy Nexus would be on a ported ROM of 4.1.... (it actually took 17 hours, I love the dev community in Android) ... this year topped it. I was counting off the weeks and then days to I/O (ask my friends, they had no clue what I was talking about, and they were excited!) and I/O 13 destroyed my expectations. I was surprised not to see any hardware, barely a mention of Glass, no watches, no Nexus 7... but that made sense as they continued on. What they were showing us wasn't, "hey, here's are really awesome, but totally expected updates to Android"... this year they changed the game. The possibilities presented this year mean more to Android than ICS did (in my opinion) and I was stunned.
For the past six months I've been somewhat active on Android Central's forums and I deeply appreciate this community and the friends I've made here and I want you all to know that. This might be the nerdiest post I've ever made. I'm sure many of us have similar relationships with Android and Nexus, etc. maybe expressed in less nerdy ways. Today, closing another week of awesome news that just keeps on coming (x-phone, gmail update, calendar update, etc) I am even more excited to be a part of the Android experience than I was when I first nerded out with my 3.2" WVGA screen on that goofy little LG slider.

By the way, the Ally had 7 buttons if I remember right. 4 buttons - call, home, menu and end call/power physical buttons, search and back capacitive buttons in a row above that and a physical camera button on the side. We've come a long way in the 3 years since it was released. In that time there have been 6 major OS releases, Froyo, GB, HC, ICS, JB 4.1 and JB 4.2.
Also, I have the Logitech Revue Google TV, but I don't love it, I just like to play with it's emotions.

Guess ill start off my story as well.
My first smart phone was the iPhone 3GS in 2009 for good grades and my parents were happy. Next year out came the iPhone 4 I LOVED THAT THING, it was a massive upgrade in every way shape and form, single core 8MHz 512 MB RAM with ios 4. I should mention I jail broke it a week after I got its own after getting it I went to the apple website for the first time ever(2010) then I saw a product called "Mac" I saw the specs and I wondered what dual core vs quad meant and what it all meant, I searched and read and researched and comprehended EBERY SINGLE PIECE OF INFORMATION regarding computer specs and Apple is why I got into tech. So thanks Apple that you are seeing me here

The 3GS, even though I'm no Apple fan, has a special place in my heart.

Well, my first device was the Motorola RAZR.
The original version with the flip design. I had the 2008 Model, it was a great phone especially during its first introductory years.
Even in 2008, when the HTC G1 and iPhone 3G came out, the RAZR had a sweet spot. Back then I didn't know what was inside my phone, running the darn
thing. Because I didn't have to. The battery plaster a few days even if it was 1100mah, it had two games but phones weren't made to be played games on.
Sure snake, but nothing intense.
Looking at my old RAZR gives me nostalgic flashbacks, and reminds me of a time when phones were simple.
