Started with a HTC desire, then over to the Xperia Play. After that went over to the Galaxy S2, then the Xperia Z and now am on a Galaxy Note 2 which is hands down the best phone of the lot of them. Will probably not replace this phone until it falls apart.

My first was an LG Optimus S it was cool with Media and stuff but with Games it was a whole Different perspective... I thought I had a top notch Phone like other people but I never payed attention to the specs at the time, since I was a noob at this stuff (at the time lol).

Current phone I just got as a hand-me-down is my first smartphone. It's a samsung galaxy 5
(droid 2.2, 2mp camera, 240x320 screen, wifi, Bluetooth, 140mb internal storage, 600mhz CPU)
It's not much compared to anything modern but it's a debatable slight step up from my previous Nokia 302 javaphone.

I have only ever had the LG Optimus 2x.
Awesome phone for apps, but Android 4.0+ lags extremely much on it (380 megs of RAM) and the battery gets drained for under 2 hours with light use (some Osu!Droid/Super Hexagon).
Planning on getting a Note 3, because my Note 10.1 2014 spoiled me with it's big screen/no lag. :P

I inherited an old Palm Treo 680 back in like 2008 or 09. Wasn't actually a bad device, especially since the iPhone didn't have the kind of foothold it has today, and Android devices weren't really a thing yet; still wasn't as nice as the contemporary Windows Mobile phones, but it played music, had a touchscreen and keyboard, supported SDHC, and even had working SNES and GBC emulators.

Late 2010 I eventually moved on to a cheap HTC Aria, an Xperia Play in 2012 when the Aria couldn't keep up, and a slightly dysfunctional Samsung Captivate Glide last summer after my Xperia Play vanished.

So, what was your very first smartphone if you have had one?

I also started with a Nokia Symbian phone, it was the E62:

Ironically, I owned a NGage QD before that, but never used it as a phone.
