KitKat had a good life. It was the first android version I used and has a special place in my heart.
My first was Froyo. Thinking back to pre Honeycomb (Ice Cream Sandwich for those features to come to phones) makes me really appreciate how far Android has come. Each update was huuuuuge. Now each year the version increases and I don't notice a single new thing. It's boring by comparison, but it's really nice that Android is so good now that the updates can be boring.
I haven't seen the word Froyo in so long! Agreed, the changes used to be so visually significant.
Cupcake, for me. I loved that HTC Dream Developer Edition. Soft to the touch, and the keyboard/ trackball thing were so convenient.
Same for me, or at least around that time period. First class hardware keyboard support too.
