I had (still have) an HTC Athena / X7501, a very big device with a 5" touchscreen and a magnetically-attached keyboard. It has Windows Mobile 6.1 and although it has an excellent hardware, it's not upgradeable. And as it is too nerdy, I can't even sell it easily. It won't fit most pockets.
I come from an E90, and I miss it's solidness and amazing keyboard
Same here, 9500 then E90. I am using my E90 again... This because of the navigation program, mail for exchange access to my work, and the office functions; all which the N900 cannot provide in a proper manner.
my god, you guys really have a high phone-upgrade frequency
I bought the Samsung SGH-D500 in late 2005 and used it until Feb 2010. Therefore I felt worlds between my old and new "phone" . I hope I'll have the n900 as long as I had the D500...
last phone was the n97, was satisfied with it even though it had it's set of problems
before that it was the nokia 5800, SE g900i (worst phone EVER), SE k810(i?), n72 (nokia's shame imo), nokia 6630, some nokia phone, nokia 3330, nokia 3310 (i think that was the number), alcatel easy touch
