Nokia X/XL - Not the greatest but the last hurrah of the old Nokia (and dumping that on MS at the last moment was funny as F***!)
N9 - My loyal daily driver for the last year
Jolla - My new toy

1. BlackBerry Passport - Have been waiting for a HW keyboard + large screen device for years.
Pros:
- Truly innovative size and shape
- Comfortable keyboard (No use for the touchpad ability though)
- Sharp and warm screen
- Great (above-average) camera (Even better than Sony Z3), and the back is flat!
- Solid built.
- Great OS, inc. gesture control, true multitasking, clean, efficient.

Cons:
- No freedom to tweak/mod the system. This is the sacrifice of being "most secure OS"?

2. Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 - Limited availability niche product, still under marketing test. However being innovative is appreciated.
Pros:
- 1-inch sensor in a compact size
- Independent image engine
Cons:
- Screen no so sensitive, has a relatively long reaction time. (Around 120ms, forgot the source, can't type quickly on that screen.)

3. Nokia N950 - My all time favourite.

Notable mentions:

4. Nokia X2 - The last Nokia branded phone without Windows junk OS.

Pros:
- Get a bit of old Nokia feelings if launcher is changed.
- Removable battery & SD
- Dual sim

Cons:
- Too many MS services!
- Really wish the HW be the same as similar designed Lumia 735.

5. Jolla

Pros:
- Sailfish OS

Cons:
- Poor HW. Nokia X2 has a brighter and more vivid screen and similar spec&camera quality and only costs less than 1/3 of Jolla...

Eagerly wait for Jolla 2 which I hope HW can me vastly improved. :)

1. Nokia N9 - Been my primary phone for over 3 years now. On days I forget it at home and have to get by with a different phone, I can certainly tell the difference. There's still nothing that could quite replace it for me.

2. Nokia PureView 808 - I don't use it as a phone any more! Thanks to MS Symbian is fast dying. However, thanks to dedicated developers and community, there's still life in it and it's the best camera phone around, period.

3. Nokia X2 - Similar reasons already mentioned. I installed the Nokia Z Launcher, which is quite slick, keeps things clean without any distractions. Very well performing device. I must say I am quite impressed.

I don't know why people like the LG G3, the display suffers from software over sharpening. That was the first thing I noticed when I tried one, and it is absolutely awful. Try reading something in it, text is full of sharp halos. Nice way to kill the high res display!

1. Motorola Droid 4
2. Nokia N900
3. None. After N900 everything seems total crap.

1. Lumia 925
Reliable and fast
2. Lumia 1520
The best, but too big. Battery live is the best
3. N900
Slow, but good

Longevity??? Then why every year or two stupid iFans dump their perfectly functioning devices and rush into iStores to get a shiny new one?
