lost 
1520 only.
Haven't had it for a while now after smashing the screen on New Years Day, but will soon have it back from repair. Miss it's size and camera, but especially the way it heats up near the camera to keep my leg warm on those cold winter days.

Hi,
I have had 3 windows phones so far. I got the HTC HD7 win 7 phone on the day it came out in the UK on 21st Oct 2010. It was great with the built in kickstand which I have missed on every phone since.
I have also had a Lumia 900 and currently have a Lumia 1320. I am due to upgrade but don't know what to go for?
My family have also had a Lumia 800, Lumia 925 and a Lumia 640.

3, 4 sort of.
My first was a Lumia 610 I got from a family member in 2012, due to my iPhone 3GS spontaneously combusting and I needed an emergency phone. I disliked it (so much I burnt it for a laugh, I regret that) and 'swore' off Windows Phone and got myself a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. I still regularly use that Xperia Play for emulators.
Fast forward two years to 2014 and there I was being blown away by my friend's ridiculously cheap Lumia 530. It cost no more than $50 Australian dollars and it just flew on Windows Phone 8.1. Along with Cortana, I was seriously reconsidering. It also helps that the Windows 10 reveal was around that time, so I became hyped for that too and became a Microsoft ****** again (I still remember installing the Tech Preview as my main OS on day one and showing it off. "Hey guys! I have a Start Menu that I didn't need third-party software for!" I still use the Fast Ring previews as my main OS).
This is where I get my 'sort of' phone. Fast forward again a few months to the Lumia 950/XL reveal and I was sold. Unfortunately the $1200 asking price of the 950 XL just wasn't in my price range; but a "brand new" (the quotation marks are key) Lumia 1520 was 'only' $460 on eBay. My rationale was that the 1520 wasn't that much of a downgrade compared to the 950 XL and considering how well the 530 ran, the specs of the 1520 still seemed overkill. I bought the 1520 and awaited it with bated breath. A few days later (it was a Aussie seller) it arrived and within 5 minutes alarm bells were ringing. The battery wouldn't hold a charge, but it turned on. After some sleuthing by my friend (the 530 owner), it turned out the seller was a dodgy seller who passed off fraudulent refurbs as brand new (Bing EvoElectronic, bastards). After a long fight, I eventually got my money back. Since I never really 'owned' it, I guess it doesn't count.
Disappointed but not disparaged about Windows Phone, I decided to take the safe-route and just buy a Lumia 640 from a proper store; it's a Telstra-locked variant that I bought for only $89 AUD which is insanely cheap here; carrier locked ones still go for $160+. And man, it makes me question why I thought I needed 'flagship-power' in the first place. It's so fast, nice looking, has a good screen, damn good camera for the price. I can easily see this thing lasting me 3-4 years tops (also considering how well Lumias get supported with updates). Going from my Xperia Play to this 640 was mind-blowing.
My fourth but not final is a Telstra-locked Lumia 532 I bought two-weeks ago for a laugh (and to have a backup WP) and, like the 530, you'd be hard pressed to think it's an ultra low-end phone that's a year old. Considering it's price competitors (the 532 was $30 on sale), it blows them out of the water ten-fold. And actually gets updates.
TD;LR: A burnt 610, dodgy 1520, glorious 640, surprising 532.
EDIT: All these spelling mistakes, I shouldn't have wrote this at 12am at night.

Samsung Omnia 7
Nokia Lumia 900
Nokia Lumia 920 and
now Nokia Lumia 1520
And currently don't know whether I'm going to continue with WM10 and Microsoft. My second favourite OS- BB10 is slowly dying and I'm starting considering the idea of coming back to Android but this is not a happy thought. Maybe this HP beast will make me stay on-board...

HTC7 Trophy

Lumia 950
Of all my favourite was the 1520 running 8.1
It was a nightmare to keep hold of...just far too big to be practical...but gaming, watching videos, taking / viewing photo's, etc was just amazing.
And having now spent a few months on W10M I can now say that Windows 8.1 has so far been the best mobile platform Microsoft have come up with.

I am using Windows Phone since Windows Phone 7. First there were these devices.
LG Optimus 7 E900 (first Smartphone for me)
Lumia 800
Samsung Omnia 7 (Second Device for the 800 which broke for me)
After the announcement that no Windows Phone 7 would be updated to 8 i chose the iPhone 4.
After only 1 Year i decided myself to give Windows Phone 8 a try.
Lumia 925
Lumia 520
Lumia 730
Lumia 550
and in the future i think im going to buy me a HP Elite.
Hopefully there will be a Lumia 1050 with a x64 Processor with full continuum.
