Some of you may be interested in this. Telecom NZ no longer exists as of yesterday (renamed to Spark) and someone started a "post your favourite Telecom phone" thread. Some oldies in there :)

I remember when my dad bought his first cell phone, similar to the one below.. the day after, we were driving home and the alternator went out in the truck. We walked 4-5 miles home to get the car to jump start the truck... he forgot he even had the phone in the glove box and could have called my mom LOL

I do not remember my first cellphone since I have had a cellphone since I was in 4th grade. I am 22 now btw, but I do remember it was a flip phone that had a circular display in the front and from sprint. I had two other phones after that, that I cannot remember the brand/models. The oldest phone I can remember is the Razr.

Siemens C25, very very ugly but couldn't afford the, at the moment, most desired one, the Nokia 3210... that was 1999 or 2000 I think
