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.

Motorola ATRIX 4G (2011) from work. The one with the laptop dock, although we didn't actually give out the laptop docks at work.

My favorite phones were the HTC M8 and M9. Great phones, felt very premium. We also had some HTC One X+ devices but there was a very particular issue with that specific phone in that AT&T SIM cards were just slightly not thick enough so there would be intermittent disconnection issues, generally solved by placing a piece of Scotch tape on the back of the SIM and cutting to fit. They also had a terrible tendency to overheat due to the Tegra 3 chip.

I've actually still got one of the original One X+ development devices - it's white and has a serial number and some sort of code etched on the front, and a big ol' NOT FOR SALE etched on the back. Holding it now, I miss how small phones were back in the day.
