Irrelevant devices (old, almost no market share) are purged periodically, I guess.
You can always add your own -

Some devices were never added to the device list, which means other devices were equivalent to the devices not listed.  Those devices are now removed one can't say, I'll preview the page in a Galaxy which is equal to a Nokia for example because the Nokia phone is not listed in the device list. 

Anyone have the User Strings of up to two back versions of Chrome ?

Use a search engine to find the user agent of past Chrome versions.

If you are looking for devices that already existed in Chrome but were removed, you can follow the history of this file -
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink/trunk/Source/devtools/front_end/emulation/OverridesUI.js?view=log&pathrev=195478

I was hoping the link you posted would show an actual list; hard to decipher what was removed on the page from past versions ?

Oh, no, it is easy - click on a linked number (for example, 195478), click on "text changed" next to "trunk/Source/devtools/front_end/emulation/OverridesUI.js" (or similar, if the path has changed) and you will see the actual difference.
For the whole list as of that revision, click on "view".

Searching for a particular device using the method for which the page works, is pain staking if not impossible.  A list of atleast the last two versions of Chrome Device list with UserAgent would be more quick and efficient !

Go back until you find the right version, I am only giving your the way to do it, not doing it for you. ;)

I looked though every ticket number as you mentioned to do;

click on "text changed" next to "trunk/Source/devtools/front_end/emulation/OverridesUI.js" (or similar, if the path has changed) and you will see the actual difference.

Very few tickets had /emulation/OverridesUI.js, the ones that did, did not have any of the old devices listed, all that was shown was the new devices in the latest version of Chrome ?

This repo has most of the old info (although could also need updating.) I'm starting on updating this repo next week to align with the current inline devices so both will be in sync together.

Thanks, that is perfect.  For the user agent I, for example would enter in "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3; en-us; SonyEricssonST25i Build/6.0.B.1.564) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1" as a string ? I don't have to include the type, correct ?
