For those that are curious this is my current collection, it's small and I don't spend a lot a few have been given to me, I do keep track of 'phones I want' in a small numbers (excel for mac) file which contains 136 entries and try to buy from that list unless something odd or weird pops up.
Current Collection
The below list is updated frequently-ish and I've added notes for known issues or problems I have encountered with these devices, I should stress that I do repair the devices myself if they have issues I can repair and I make no effort to root, rom or otherwise mess with stock - I want the device to be as close to as intended by the manufacturer as possible.
