That is a bit odd since your nick suggests your intrests would lie elsewhere...

Mine was N900 ----- DVP & N950 (Using DVP due to N950 lack of storage expansion) ----- N950 & Z10 (Realised how bad Windows OS is.) ----- N950 & Jolla (Keept using N950 for HW keyboard) ----- BB Passport ----- BB Priv (Worst BB ever) ----- Xperia Z5

Jolla's hardware was a big disappointment.

Never loved Android, but gesture control + limited multitasking I can live with that for now. Since BB10 is almost abandoned now SFOS is the only remaining option. Personally look forward to FP2 but if that doesn't come out will probably buy Intex Fish as my next device.

Well done Jolla, your decision to use the small format for no reason whatsoever has resulted in a device lock-in. Well done.
I kept the frame I pulled the small SIM card from. That way I can switch back whenever I want.

My nick predates Android by several years. Unfortunately a lot of people come to the wrong conclusion because of Googles product. Android was released September 23, 2008. My nick came from a friend during school, probably around 2000-2001.

At the time I didn't have internet access at home but was still into Half-Life and Counterstrike, TFC etc. Unfortunately, the only option for me was to use bots. There were several (HPB being one of the biggest names at the time), but for CS, there was Android (https://web.archive.org/web/20030210...e.net/android/). From that he gave me the nick Android_808 (808 from Bob but pronounced as 8 0 8).

Have a knack for using names/ideas that become products by someone else. My 3D engine I started around 2004 was called Chameleon, because the idea was touse it to fit/blend in with several projects. Now there have been several with the same name, one I just googled even has an almost identical logo. Weird as I never publicly released any info on it.

N900 -> N900.

waiting for a sailfish OS capable smartphone with good hardware which is capable of running android apps.

It is amazing the level of customization it got with scripts and apps i developed for this device during the last 6 years i own it - just thinking about porting all/most of them (which i use daily) makes it a very hard decision to leave it behind.

i will eventually do that, hopefully soon because it's too weak and missing modern hardware - in the meantime i'm going around with a nexus 7 as media consumption device (youtube, waze, browsing etc.).

i will only move to a new device after being sure all customizations will be possible on it also.

That's actually not true, BQ has phones running Ubuntu (http://www​.bq.com/es/aquaris-e5-ubuntu-edition). I'm eyeing one of those to replace my N900 if it dies.

Well, if we REALLY start nitpicking there's plenty of devices that run Linux, it is just that they are lacking GNU/Linux.

I'm talking of course of Android; down under where it matters (kernel, filesystems, device stacks) it is through and through Linux all the way. It is just the userland that is lacking; the versatile and beautiful glibc & GNU toolchains is replaced with braindead bionic and its ilk.
