Which PHONE have you USED or KEPT the LONGEST?

The Nokia 8890 I can't remember how long I've had it in total but...

at one point in time I sold it after having it for a while, to get the Nokia 7210 (first color phone I had). Then I missed my 8890 and bought it again. Then I sold it again as it got outdated. Now just last week, I bought it once again to keep as a spare.
 
I kept an initial production RAZR V3 for 2 years. I suspect the reliability issues came up when they tried to amp up production for the carrier subsidy business; mine was reliable.

UI wasn't so hot, but it made calls better than any phone I had before; the RF was good, and after a minor seem edit earpiece volume was very strong.

Basically it was a good reliable phone for phone calls and not much else. A better SMS interface would have been nice, but camera, music etc; don't matter to me; in that respect I think I am a lot like your typical American, I don't mind dedicated devices and see the center of my digital world as the internet and PC, which is the hub that integrates my various tools with minimal trade offs. An integration that is very difficult to achieve with converged mobile phone devices.
 
My SE K750i, I bought it on the first release date and still using it

I think it's more than 2 years now.

Just keep on waiting for the iPhone to be available here in Thailand.
 
Samsung i500 - small flipphone/PDA with touch screen, for four years. I would upgrade if I could, but nobody has anything like it on the market. Too many candybar/brick phones with QWERTY, but nothing small or thin with a flip/clamshell format, PDA and a touchscreen (boohoo)...
 
You will laugh...my favorite cell phone I ever had was a Motorola StarTac. I still miss that phone. To this day, I think it was still smaller than what I'm seeing out of most of the flip phones.
 
Nokia 8290 & Nokia 7210...each about a 1 to 1 1/2 yrs.

After those 2 phones, the longest I've managed to keep a phone has been 8 months and that's my Blackberry Pearl 8100.
 
Used a LG VX6100 the longest back in my VZW days, next was my 6230 when I joined AT&T. It's still in use by my girlfriend, but it's showing it's age with sound and reception problems cropping up.
 
My longest kept phone was also my first phone; Nokia 3360. I had it for 2 1/2 years. Now I seem to make it a habbit to change my phone every 1 and half years.
 
SE S700i for 3 years and counting....huge screen, swivel design, lots of cutting edge features (for 2004), but thick as a brick. I still use it, when I am not stealing my wife's N95.

I think that my all-time favorite phone was the SE T68i. I used it for 2 years before losing it. My brother-in-law is STILL using a T68i.

The N95 is incredible. I doubt that we will keep it as long as the S700, however, because really great phones are coming. I want the SE W960 when it is released next year and my wife buys a new phone every year.
 
Had the V180 for 2 years, that was before I found the beauty of unlocked GSM
Razr: 1.5 years
8525: 1st one: 4 months, 2nd one: 1 month and counting
