I still have my HTC touch dual and my HTC Magic in a drawer somewhere. Those were such exciting phones, coming from a Nokia.
Flashing Cyanogen Rom and custom recoveries felt so bleeding edge. Now a new phone is just an incremental update. A lot more stable and capable, bit kinda boring
My previous phone was a Nokia 6289
A colleague had a Nokia 9110 back in 1998, that was very advanced back then
