I had 12 at one point too... Think I had 7,9,12, and 13 at one point or another too... Or ones that looked like them. Mine wasn't a blackberry though, just a look alike.
First smart phone was a Samsung Galaxy 2 skyrocket. (Or something like that...it was a variant of the Galaxy 2 only sold by one provider... Slightly beefed up specs)... Galaxy 3 was already out by that point... I was relatively late to smart phones.
The early Samsung Galaxy phones were great for their time. Out performed apples at half the price. Nowadays Samsung costs just as much as apple and have all sorts of quality control issues.
Had a few off there but my first was no. 3 Nokia orange in around 1996. Lived in a flat with no phone line and had a kid and worked nights. £10 a month Still got the handset somewhere I think. Worth a few quid iirc
I buy my phones from China for me and my family Not the cheap tat like doogee, well for the young un maybe. If you know about Xiomi or zte or oneplus these phones are UK there if not better than the latest Samsung or iPhone at a fraction of the cost Same with TVs. Hisense sponsored the euros and make decent teles that cost less than the same size LG etc These phones and TVs sell millions abroad throughout the world but the UK is stucknon Samsung and iPhone etc
A Mitsubishi Trium, looked a bit like number 8. Remember it being pretty decent for the money. Still got it somewhere, worth FA though unlike some of the old mobiles.
... those Stucknons are rubbish ... I think HIAG may have one ... although the context might be different... now I think about it ...
