My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.

Mine was the T-Mobile G1. Slide out keyboard and track ball. I remember being underwhelmed by Android at the time so I switched to the Nokia N900 for a while which comparitively was more mature than android and iOS at the time.
Motorola Droid running 1.6 Donut.
Drrroooooiiiiiiddd…me too, loves that thing, just pulled it out of box the other day, plugged it into the dock thing, still works!
T-Mobile G1
Same. It wasn’t a great phone coming from a BlackBerry. The HTC G2 is what cemented me as an android user.
Tried the major brands and have been a pixel user since the 4.
Nexus One was my first Android phone. I miss the trackball every day… so handy for moving the cursor through text. And it doubled as a notification LED! So sweet. Plus the removable battery, shit was awesome. I still have it in a box somewhere. I’m on a Pixel 7 now.
The first Android phone in our family was my mother’s Samsung Galaxy Ace. And naturally, I’ve used that phone more than she did. As a kid I considered that swipe keyboard as mankind’s greatest achievement. I would send lengthy SMS to friends and family because typing was suddenly so easy.
My first was the HTC Dream (G1) followed by the Motorola Droid - still miss their form factor before everything became the black slab.
iirc i used my dad’s HTC Magic when i was younger, then i used HTC Wildfire S for some time.
I also started with the HTC Magic. It’s the only phone I’ve used that has a trackball.
Also a HTC Magic, that I bought on release day. Remember the excitement of flashing CyanogenMod on it with TWRP
HTC Evo 3D. My step brother had the Evo 4g and I was infatuated with it, plus by the time I was going to upgrade my iPhone 3G was dying.
I stayed with Android as my primary phone until like 2015 when I just kinda stopped caring about flashing roms and just wanted a phone that works. I still keep an Android phone with me.
2010, got the MyTouch 4G. Was running Foryo 2.2, but I ended up putting CyanogenMod on it.
HTC Evo 4G, and I was living in an area with WiMax at the time too. It felt so futuristic coming from a Blackberry.
I bought the iPhone 1, 2, 3 and then got tired of Apple wanting to ruin my Jailbreak so I got a Motorola Milestone, I think it was the second Android phone to ever exist.
Never looked back.
Now I want more: a Linux phone. Will try eOS and Graphene in the meantime.
When I worked at one of the US’s major wireless carriers as a manager, I snagged an HTC phone when it was one of the first Android phones. It was small but very cool. I’d been using an iPhone 3G at the time and as soon as I played around with the Android, I knew I had to have it, and never looked back! That was 2009 I think.
It was the htc’s from early 2010. Then I got the first galaxy phone and oh boy was that a gem for its time.
My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!
That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol
HTC Droid Incredible. Having the free time to try out custom ROMs and firmware was so fun back in the day. Not much time for that anymore.
