Does the Snom on my desk count? ;-)

More seriously, I'm not a big fan of the smartphone device class in general, but from the ones that I've used I would pick the SE P910 for functionality or the Neo 1973 for openness. The Nokia E90 would probably get an honourable mention too for the keyboard (but not much else).

It has to be the N900, no other phone comes close.

But the Tungsten T3 is still something on its own. Even today its 400 MHz processor is capable compared to the newest gadgets (maybe last years gadgets ) Why Palm never integrated a GSM radio into the Tungsten line, was a mystery then, and is a mystery now. The Treos never worked for me with the small screen.



And of course the Spark. Big and with an antenna, even got animated menus.



Have to include the P1i as well Clunky OS and way too small processor, but the concept with the rocker keys really work well, and it is built as a tank.

This was my first video phone andi loved it.
Was in my early 20's and have alot of really good footage taken using it.

N900......

Hmm that's a tough question. I think the phone I had most emotional connection to was the Treo 600. I bought it not long after my Mum died, and it was like a personal friend. It was my first converged device, and it was a constant source of astonishment in terms of what it could do.

The n95 was probably the 'phone that did most of what I wanted' for a range of reasons. But I never had the same emotional connection with it. It was a brilliant tool.

The n900 doesn't actually do quite as much for me as the n95 did, but it has brought me to this community, so it's given me something that no other phone has. And much of what it does do, it does better.

In between I had a couple of SE phones that don't get a look in.

Nice pad, Game Gear, Game Boy and NES emulators, Tony Hawk, Tomb Raider, Pandemonium, Pathway To Glory...........

A phone ahead of its time.

My all time favorite is NOKIA E61 - fantastic build quality and Al-Mg body was pleasure to hold in hand, really nice QWERTY keyboard, Symbian at its peak with wide array of useful apps. It was a phone that sets you apart from the crowd in Europe.



PS. E61 won the battle with NOKIA 7110 by i slightest margin ;-)

I prefer the original n-gage over this one
Stereo sound, Mp3 player, recording from radio to aac, stereo input jact to record from your cd-player, ok awkward talking position, but who cares?

That was my first smartphone. The funny thing today is that people buy their first smartphones and tell me 'Hey I can do this, Hey I can do that, Hey my iphone multitasks' and I am 'Hey my n-gage could do all that back in 2004'

p.s. I've got 1.700.000 points on the (gameboy) Tetris DX on that phone

Still I think the N900 passed it (marginally)

Indeed they have a big thing in common. They really aren't very good phones. But they are excellent devices.

The best cameraphone I owned for it's time: Sharp GX30
Most impressive phone (to show off) for it's time: philips genie (voice recognition, lithium battery pre y2k)
Best battery ever: T39

My favourite is my current phone, the Iphone 3Gs which i got after trading in the N900.
Prior to that my fav phone was the N95 black, that was a fantastic phone.

What I previously owned :
- Nokia 3210
- Ericsson T39mc
- Sony Ericsson T230
- Motorola V3i RAZR
- Nokia N95-1
- Nokia N900

All time favourite would have had to be either N95-1 (even though it was loaded with dreaded symbian OS) or N900 (which still lacks features that N95-1 has but otherwise is much more powerful)
