As I quietly put my OnePlus One to sleep for the night, I couldn't help but think of all the great smartphones I have had over the years. Starting with the Motorola Q, I've had the following:
Motorola Q
iPhone 3G
HTC Hero
HTC EVO 4G
Samsung Galaxy SII
Samsung Galaxy S4
Google Nexus 5
OnePlus One

What's your lineage?

    The Palm Pre was still my favorite phone of all the ones I've had. I was sad when Palm OS didn't take off as it was better in many ways to Android at the time. I still do have my HP touchpad rocking WebOS though.

    And here I was trying to figure out what the Galaxy S Relay had to do with coffee.

    Got it in one. It's too bad nobody is interested in my business anymore.

  • NiGHTSNiGHTS San Diego Icrontian

    I still my my BB Curve's keyboard :(

    Such a fantastic device - some sort of blended android/palm keyboard hybrid would be the bee's knees.

    INQ Chat 3G

    Blackberry Curve
    Nexus 4

    I had the cloud touch for the longest time and went back to it after I got annoyed with the curve...and after the N4 got stolen...It still works years later despite a cracked screen... and being eons behind current tech.

    There's talk of Google releasing its own phone OS, but I think that's just Internet rumor.

    Forgot to mention my Motorola Q, which I had before I switched to the iPhone.

  • SnarkasmSnarkasm Madison, WI Icrontian

    Oh dear.

    HTC TyTN II
    HTC Touch Pro2
    HTC Hero
    HTC Nexus One
    HTC Desire
    HTC Desire Z
    Samsung Galaxy Nexus
    Samsung Nexus 4
    LG Nexus 5

    HTC used to make such great phones... -sigh-

    I feel like I must have had a phone between the DZ and the GNex, but I'll be darned if I can remember it. Given my lineage, I find it unlikely I stuck with the DZ for over a year, but maybe so.

    Lessee:

    HTC Touch/Elf (WinMo)
    Samsung Moment
    Samsung Fascinate
    Samsung Droid Charge
    Samsung Galaxy S III
    MotoX

    So far, the X is far and away the best of these phones in all aspects. I'll probably move up to the new X soon.

    Currently deciding between messing with my Note 2's ROM some more or getting a Note 4. Wish there were more stylusphone options.

  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian

    Any phone will work with a stylus.

  • AlexDeGruvenAlexDeGruven Wut? Meechigan Icrontian

    Not note-style (wacom digitizer)

  • T-Mobile G1
    Nexus One
    Galaxy Nexus
    Nexus 4
    Nexus 5

    WHUT.

    Including the S-pen? I thought there was special hardware mojo involved with making that work. All the styluses I've seen that are universally compatible are the big eraser tipped looking things that seem like they would offer no precision benefit over just using your finger.

  • AlexDeGruvenAlexDeGruven Wut? Meechigan Icrontian

    See my response.

    The note-style stylus requires the wacom add-on to the digitizer. But any capacitive stylus will work on any phone these days.

  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian

    @AlexDeGruven‌ is correct. The digitizer layer in the Note series is pressure sensitive. But I'm suspicious that people make use of that pressure sensitivity as the use cases are oddly specific for a phone. In the event my supposition is correct, then any ol' capacitive stylus will do.

    ZTE Blade
    Samsung Galaxy Note
    Debating the pricey Note 3 or a cheap and cheerful 5" Moto G for my next device (my Note is not so slowly dying).

    The Note's s-pen uses electo-magnetic resonance witchcraft so it really doesn't compare with a generic capacitive stylus (doesn't have to touch the screen to interact with the device, has a button which functions as an alt key, etc).
