How Many Cell Phones Have You Lost?

I did have moments of groaning over how crazy it was to spend that much on a phone, but it was a great phone. I used it for about 2 years and would still be using it now, probably, if it hadn't been stolen.After this experience, she wasn't willing to pay $450 for a phone again.
I don't blame her. For me, cell phones are now right up there with sunglasses as my most loseable possession. I would never pay anything remotely expensive for a phone because I know I would lose it or it would get stolen. No Apple iPhone for me.
I've lost three phones. The first two I lost in mundane ways---left one behind at a restaurant, the other at a clothing store where I'd been trying things on and somehow my phone got lost in the shuffle. The last one I lost in a little more interesting way. It fell off of me while I was on a roller coaster
& I didn't realize it was gone until a little later. Do you think it was there when I went back to look? You're right, it was never heard from again, literally.I hear more and more about what cell phones can do and how much more they'll be able to do in the future, when they'll just read your mind and call whoever you want without you pressing a button. But I think I'll always be on the low end of the cell phone range, unable to take photos with my camera, left out of the text messaging crowd, sullen in the corner while others are living it up, all due to my inability to keep my hands on any object not physically connected to my being.
How many phones have you lost? What's your most loseable item?
