A walk–thru of the phones I’ve owned over the years. It’s interesting to see how the devices
themselves have changed over time.
2009 — Samsung® Omnia i910
In 2009 I decided to take the plunge and get a smartphone. No longer would I be carrying around a phone and my Palm
Pilot. I was using Microsoft® Outlook for my mail on my desktop so I chose to go with a Windows®
based phone since I’d be able to sync my mail, contacts and calendar seamlessly. The phone came with a stylus
which was pretty much required when using the touchscreen, partly due to it’s technology and even more due to the UI
design of Windows® Mobile.
My phone had now become more that just for making calls. It was incredibly convenient to only have a single device to
organize my day, make a call or even look something up online.
