Motorola Milestone, sometime in early 2010. So-so battery life and would get hot real easy too. Loved how flexible Android was though.

I wasn't an android person in the beginning but I always dabbled with it. I daily drived a windows phone until it got stolen in 2017, then I was hoping arround several dying phones that my family had, an s3 mini, an LG v3, an s4 mini. Then in 2019 I got a galaxy a30s and fell in love with one ui, now I'm using an infinix note 12 g96
My first android was HTC Evo 3D. Until then I had touch nokia symbian phone so it was quite a jump forward. Evo got off 60% of price within 6 month so I had to update. It was a hell of a deal. Lasted me for 4 years. Then I went for Somy Xperia Z1 compact.
Galaxy Note.
I’d had the Nokia N900 previously and the huge screen size of a “phablet” sounded unique and cool.
I've got a Meizu M2 in 2015, replacing my Sony Ericsson Walkman W810 that served me well for 9 years ! The meizu was good too, until it wasn't... one day they pushed and update that rendered it completely unusable and they took 4 month to fix. By this time I had already replaced it. Otherwise very robust despit the plastic construction, it fail off a rollercoaster once and survived without damage! I still have the phone and use it occasionally as a backup, it still works but it's barely usable at this point because the obsolete software.
- It was a motorola devour and it was basically a droid with different externals. I loved it. I owned the droid two and three after that. Miss slide out keyboards quite a lot actually.
Got a Galaxy S3 at a sweet discount when the S4 first released, so it was probably around April 2013. I used that phone for quite a while, eventually rooting it, installing Cyanogen Mod, corrupting the filesystem, going back to TouchWiz, and finally ending on Lineage OS 14. By then though, I had moved on to using an LG G5.
Galaxy Ace in 2017. It could, very well, do absolutely nothing at that time ever since the Android Market and GMS for Gingerbread were shut off and all the apks I can sideload are discontinued and outdated versions, some of which absolutely not working.
I'm going to show my age here, but my first was a shiny new Google Nexus One. I still miss that phone.
My 1st android device would be 2nd hand xperia x10, i remembered installing cyanogenmod 7 on it and learning about rooting through it
Galaxy s2, after being on an iPhone 3gs, Apple made it increasingly more difficult to jailbreak at the time I did not want to get stuck in their ecosystem so I bailed and never looked back.
I imported (to Sweden) a G1 from Germany in 2008. A bunch of experimentation on that and my next Android phone the HTC Desire Z in 2010 eventually helped me land a job as an Android developer.
15 years later I'm kind of sad about where it's all headed. Surveillance and user lock in...

I think my first smartphone was the LG Thrill 4G. I remember the upgrade from 2.2 Froyo to Gingerbread 2.3 being a big deal at the time.
I feel like I had to have had one before this. This phone did not come out until I was out of school and I'm pretty sure I had a smartphone during. Looking at pictures of old phones, it may have been the LG Optimus, that one feels familiar.
HTC Desire, can't remember the year but I do rember it was a damn good phone.
