I've been quite a cellphone freak in the past few years.  My first cellphone was a Cellular One Nokia phone, which I first received when I was 16 years old.  It was pretty cool to have a cellphone back then; not everyone had one, of course. 

Then, Sprint released their PCS Vision feature, which promised a nifty online experience.  I was hooked, and brought my first Internet-enabled phone.

Admittedly, it was pretty horrible.  Slow and didn't have the features I was really looking for.  But, as I mentioned earlier, I was hooked, and my cellphone addiction was born.

Multiple phones and carriers later, I have finally settled on my iPhone through Cingular.  I'm very content.  I actually think I have used my iPhone the longest compared to any of my other phones...

Ha! N-Gage. Dude, no matter how lame it was to hold the taco to your head and despite some of the obvious flaws, the N-gage was still pretty neat. Way more useful to run an NES emulator on it though than to just rely on N-Gage games.

I think it was a great idea and concept.  What I had really hoped is the advent of portable online games.  I really liked Pocket Kingdom, an old-school style strategy/RPG game which was simple and actually quite addictive and fun.

It had an online component which was promising, but worked poorly.  Again, I think online wireless games through the N-Gage could have been a big hit, but just had very poor execution.

As a phone, though... it was notably good as well.  Good audio quality and signal strength, the browser wasn't bad, and it was unlocked, too.

Speaking of N-Gage... it was recently in the headlines. Quite interesting: http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/
