The sun has nearly set on the first decade of the third millennium, and we have been truly blessed... with phones. Sodding millions of the things.
We've seen phones made from wood, plastic, glass (and one from cheese... but that's a story we swore we'd never tell again), we've seen mobiles that delighted, dismayed, made us go 'meh' and those that have made us curse our ridiculous laziness that we didn't at least look at them before agreeing to a 24-month contract.
Let's face it - there are mobiles out there that have excelled, but equally there are those that have had a team of crack designers working on them, cost millions to make, and are frankly rubbish.
So, without further ado - the best, worst and craziest phones of this century so far - extra TechRadar points for each one you owned.

12. Found one of my Dad's first mobiles the other day while clearing out the loft. It's the size of a small hardback, battery lasted about 6 hours so you had to have 2 spares and a charger with you all the time. And it has an extendible aerial... I miss those!

11. I'd like a lounge filled with hyper-intelligent octopuses. Please advise on purchasing options (or do I just need to make friends with them and then invite them round?).
I never had a Razr, so one of you mugs must have had four. Liked the look, but the keys were abysmal so no buy from me.

7. Come on now, NOTHING else compares to an iPhone! I have had a few phones in my time and the iPhone is just unbeatable.
