it wouldn't of hurt you to post them here,
the list of phones i've used is longer than my arm.
This topic could become a discussion about phones people have used and their favourites,
I was talking to someone the other day still using an 025 Nokia which could be regarded as one of the classics.

Phillip Isis - simple but easy to use. Ironically it got stolen from the car but they didn't take my wallet.

Nokia 5120 - Replacement to the Isis, introduced text messaging, service was relatively great - only had to ring up customer service once.

Switched over mainly because the Nokia started to break down and had problems with a landline/ certain ISP.

Alcatel 710 - first GSM handset. Had GPRS/MMS. Was ok though the interface was fairly awful. Broke down and was replaced after about 3 months.

SE T610 - had this for a short time ~1 month. This was really a flatmates phone. Had a good interface compared to the Alcatel.

SE z600 - had that for a year. Again, quite a nice phone, biggest annoyance was the lack of sockets support which made connecting to IRC or MSN quite difficult, limited memory, and lack of choice for text alerts.

Sony Ericsson P910 - brought it in China. Kinda regret doing so now as it was an expensive handset at the time (was probably better off with cheaper handset), however was/is a great handset. Probably will keep using this handset as its expensive and I have more important things to save up for.

Weren't those the ones with the dodgy contracts where they had those hidden fees?

Yeah, I got it when I was 18, transient and unwilling to pay my bill..... It got cut off one day and that was the last I ever heard about it. Never got chased for payment of the account or anything.
