If you're gonna be a gossip, you need a lot of phones. I'd love to say these are all still functional, but they aren't. These are the five phones I have had in my life.

Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Samsung. I got the newest one on Monday.

How many phones have you had, and what is your current phone?

This is my current magic-speak-box.

Despite my penchant for naming my technological additions, I've still not named it. Suggestions welcome.

That is a lot of phones...

I have one of the old brick phones from the yester-year that I keep around to remind me of how technology has evolved...it's actually rather remarkable!

No, its not a blackberry. It a Motorola something something.
Before that I had the same something something.
And before that, my very first phone at the age of 19 was a the razor.

Yay for unsexy photo, but as you can see I really should be in bed at this time!

I'm 100% sure it's boredom and I have similar symptons to Apple fans:
"Ohhhhit'sshinynowmycurrentbutperfectlyfineequivalentneedsreplacing".
Although to give myself credit I always sell the phone before I get a new one so that the money I sell goes towards the new one so I don't pay much! Recycling!

@WillTaff Looks snazzy!

@Sparrow Fair enough then. I keep all mine, but the bundle I'm on gets me money off cos of upgrading ... or something. I don't really understand it. Whatever the case, my new Samsung Something was £50 and I didn't pay a penny for it.

Yeah. My Sony Ericsson C510 was the first contract phone I got. All the others were PAYG so I had to buy the handsets. I wanted the HTC G1 I have now so badly as my friend had one. So I sold my C510, used the 5310 until I found a good HTC G1 on ebay, bought one and unlocked it and there we have it lol.

That big one literally looks like my home phone :D
I have had like...5 phones innn...7 years.
But I haven't ever got rid of any of them just because I didn't like them anymore, they all break / I drop them and then they break.
But I already chatted on to you about my telephone stories :)

My first phone was some basic Nokia thing I lost in a park. My second was the same model. That died by a high speed wall collision. I got a Razr and had that until last April when the microphone stopped working. Now I've got a teeny tiny Nokia. That's four phones in about four our five years.

That first Nokia phone looked like the phone closest to your chin.

These are the ones I use these days :) Left one is 5 years old, right one not yet half a year.
I've got two because I've got both a Belgian and a Dutch phone number.

Hello house-phone-like-phone. This thing couldn't go on silent and when someone called or texted, it displayed their number instead of their name. Around the time I had this, I had everyone's number memorised...

@Diceman The only one whose name I know fully was the Nokia 3310, but only because everyone had one of them.

@MartyToes You should keep the temp one, it’s well sexy.

@GetYourJenniOut I’ve never broken a phone, I don’t know how you people do it

@topherlooks Everyone had one of those phones

@Manvels How come you have two numbers?

@Jerry, @MissiMayhem I was tempted with one of them, but went for an iPod Touch

@morningdew Beautiful isn’t it? =D

@JungleJuliet Not good!

@thechico Ten phones in twelve years is a good ratio

@the_who_ru This is the first slidey I’ve ever had. I wanted a flip phone again but they don’t seem to exist anymore

@crimsong19 They sound hi-tec

@Sazmerelda Meow!

@GnarlyPants Exploding phones? Not what you want to keep in your trousers…

@itsjuliaaa Samsung and Nokia are the best

@inwils Haha, gotta love old phones!

@etinsecret Well I didn’t intend to guilt anyone really, I was just ranting! Another iPhone user, eh?

I have only had two mobile phones; one from 17-22, and my current one since then, (Samsung E390). Neither have any real gadgets, I only take calls for emergencies and if my lift is late. Unfortunately it has my only camera, so no picture from me.

I have a T-Mobile G1. Sorry my hair is a bit messy right now :-(

Before this phone I had a HTC Smart Phone with internet because I wanted to feel important, plus I used to run my own business back then that required I have internet access 24/7.

@alorena1 Looks sleek and nifty!

@Oddball I would’ve been more than happy with a brick that did nothing but call and text, but I had £50 available on my upgrade and didn’t want to waste the money.

@3en Why are you apologising for your hair? Have you seen mine EVER? Haha

@XanthieRose I like Samsungs, although there’s nothing as hardy as a Nokia

@chareesimo Yeah, I’ve no idea what mine is already

@fishiwan LMAO!

@peacelovesmile122 Wahoo!

@CassAttack I love it for its name. A gossip should really have a phone called the Rumor

Did that house-like phone only text in capital letters and have a horoscope function? Because it reeeally looks like the one my mum used to have which I ended up with because it had about £50 credit on it...

@Sazmerelda I don't remember the horoscope feature but now you say that, YES! It did only text in capitals! I'd forgotten that about it! You could turn it off, but I never bothered.

Strangely enough, I never had any cell phone until I was 25, when I moved to France for a while, I got my first heavy big rocky Nokia, which lasted some time, then I stayed steady with nokia with a couple more of the next three years. Things moved on more quickly when I decided my phone should also be my permanent music player and camera as well, because I can't bother to have three items to carry...

So, within the last four years, I can not tell how many phones I had, but if I was to count, I would say something close to 20, of all brands and attitude. Miraculously, I have the same phone since last August, which is a Nokia n86, having the advantage of the n97 with better picture camera and none of the drawbacks :)

Haha, I don't know how you don't break phones!
It's mainly because I have dropped it one too many times.
It's always the screens that break as well!
