Potential Future Post: Cell Phone History

How many people do you know who have only owned a single cell phone during their cell phone owning history? Probably not many given the number of I-lost/broke-my-cell-phone-now-I-need -your-number groups on facebook or the slightly more original I-know-you-hate-those-I-lost/broke-my-cell-phone-groups-but-I-did-and-I-need-your-number.
I was thinking about the phones I had and the stories surrounding those phones, and realized they probably lead to a pretty entertaining blog post. I could just as easily give up as the sheer turnover in the cell phone industry makes it extremely difficult to even find out the style of a phone from just a couple years back. But I will give my best effort to track back to 2001...

Some of highlights that will hopefully be more detailed in a full post:
-7578703412
-The original green screen
-Carbon Fiber faceplate upgrade
-7578713789
-Your Body is a Wonderland ringtone
-Phone Thrown (by Dena)
-Phone ends up in pocket with egg
-Phone ends up in toilet
-A little craigslist
-5402461528

So thats most of all the major occurrences but I hope to expand later with pictures and more details about the aforementioned highlights.

Addition: I was doing some research for pictures and remembered that at some point my parents paid full price for a replacement phone but I couldnt remember what led to that and then it came to there was an incident when a phone was stolen. I may have to break the post up into multiple posts to tell the stories in greater detail.
