Post your first Cell Phone

That's it! I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called, just knew it was Motorola.

The sim card was credit-card sized and the whole thing slid in the bottom (oo-er!).

I also remember a mate asking if I'd got his text message from a few days earlier. That was when I learnt what the little letter icon was about!

Yeah, this one.

I guess I consider that my first phone, lol.

Samsung A200



I actually had the Korean version (Anycall). Compared to the extra large phones everyone else had, this thing was relatively tiny; more like a toy than anything else.

Started with one of these.




Upgraded to one of these soon after.

(Pantech TXT8010 / Verizon Wireless Blitz)

Loved this thing TO DEATH! It was great! Got it in 6th grade. It was absolutely amazing. Sadly one day the phone just stopped working. I miss it so much!

Then I got this thing...and let's just say my feelings were 100% in the opposite direction:



(Samsung Reality)

and now I'm on my 3rd phone, the iPhone 4S!

Is that a handle to get it out of your pocket with?

Got it in 12th Grade then I went Sony G700 --> iPhone 2G --> iPhone 3G --> iPhone 4.

I think this was my model, it looked like this one. Except mine said Cingular on it. It also came with a goofy looking rubber skin that wrapped around it. Had a built-in FM radio and allowed text messaging, before they started charging for it.

This was my first phone, only it was AT&T. Until I got my iPhone, it stood as my favorite phone for 8 years.

And to think... it wasn't even that long ago. I was probably 12 so, what, 10 years ago? Technology's progression rate amazes me.

This little baby. I still have it, in original box with all original paperwork. Still works like a charm. I just wanted one that did more than place calls.

My first phone : Siemens SL45



the first phone with external memory
the first phone with MP3 player
the first phone with java -> the first phone with apps !!
it was the biggest screen on a phone with 7 lines monochromatic.

My father had that exact same one. With the goofy wooden faceplate as well! He later swapped it with the clear see-through faceplate.

I got my first cell phone in 2000. Surprisingly, it's still my favorite phone to date. I miss simplicity.

Samsung SCH3500. I believe I got it in 2000. Went through a couple due to earpiece going out. I still really liked the phone though.

1st was a Motorola 1993 or '94 model. It was about the size of a brick over half of it was battery. If you got the extended battery it was about another 1" thicker shaped pyramid like, t'was lovely.
So i had the cell phone and my best friend had his pager. Together we were the chit!!

this is my frist cell phone Nokia 1100. This is a very good phone

Motorola MP1-1D11. (comes with a battery pack, but also takes 4 AA batteries)

I think it was one of these, in grey:



God, I'm old.

My first phone, which I have bought in may 2011. I waited until college to buy a cell phone, and had gotten this for free with a very good contract. I kept throwing it on the ground for fun and it has never gotten one scratch, until one night, a month ago, when I accidentally dropped it on the street. Display broke

(But I hated this thing software-wise, and I have to admit that I wasn't disappointed at all )

Mine!

Maxon MN1 on Vodafone Pay As You Talk

I had the red one, my Granddad had the silver one and my Dad had the blue one

Nokia 5110 with classic bite marks on the rubber antenna. Everyone had a Nokia come on. They were indestructible too!

Awwww yeeaaaaaa!!

Had one of these my junior/senior year of high school. I would always buy different face plates and customize them with various album art.

That second one reminds me of the phone from the 1st matrix.
