Looking at some old blog posts I wrote, I note that the last Android tablet that I have owned is the Nexus 9 until my recent purchase of the Boox Note Air 3C, which some might recognize as a truly Android tablet. I also have the Lenovo Duet 3, but that is a Chrome OS 2-in-1 that supports Android apps and not a true Android tablet. #

During recording of the MobileViews podcast yesterday Todd asked me whether I have always been using Android phones ever since the release of the first one, the T-Mobile G1. My answer is yes, but I have to admit that I didn't remember exactly which phones that I have owned over the years. #

Today I did a search on Google and found this article by Android Police that lists every Google Nexus phone made and from this article I believe the phones I have owned were the T-Mobile G1 (2008) to the Google Nexus One (made by HTC) (2010), to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (2011), to the Moto X (2013), to the Google Nexus 6P (2015), to the Pixel 2 (2017). to the Pixel 4a (2020), and then my current Pixel 7a (2023). #

I am not sure whether I did by the Galaxy Nexus as soon as the it was released in 2011 or waited until 2012. I do know that I dropped and badly damaged the Galaxy Nexus and so would have bought the Moto X as soon as it came out. You might recall that Google bought Motorola's mobility division and the Moto X was the first Motorola branded phone sold by Google, and it was unique in allowing for custom colors (mine was green and yellow for the Green Bay Packers) and assembled in the United States. The Moto X was probably the smallest phone that I've own and then I replaced it with the largest phone that I have ever owned, the Nexus 6P.#

The above were my personal daily drivers, but I also carried a variety of work provided phones over the years that included Blackberry, Windows Phonne, and a variety of Samsung Android phones. I have never used an iPhone.#
