I don't remember the model number, but mine was very similar ... seems so long ago now.

Not bad for my first phone when I was 10 and only sent a few messages every day!

My uncle had one of these when they first came out. He owned a multi million dollar business at the time and he drove a SL500.

Man I always thought he was so bad ass.

I remember he used to have like twenty spare batteries around his house and car!

You're use of past tense makes me wonder what happened to your uncle...

Anyway here's mine:

Hand-me-down Nokia 3310! I loved that thing.

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.

I then moved on to a crappy Sprint flip phone, don't remember the model but I do remember it was silver and blue. After that it was the original Razr, then the Samsung Blackjack, then another Razr because the Blackjack crashed. Then a POS Motorola flip phone that I threw at a wall, lol, again don't remember the model. Then the HTC Fuze, the iPhone 3G (my first ever Apple product), a Blackberry Bold 2, and now my iPhone 4S.

Nokia 3210. I had a custom carrier logo. I was so cool

First phone I didn't share with my dad, Nokia 3100. Got it as an middle school graduation present in the summer of 2003. It was the most rugged phone I've ever owned, too.

trekkie604 · Jul 8, 2012, 02:35 PM

Moto StarTAC 3000... Doesn't work any more since the provider shut down it's AMPS analogue network a couple years ago.

Nermal · Jul 8, 2012, 02:50 PM

Alcatel One Touch Max DB, would've been in late 2000 or early 2001.

BlakeBrattina · Jul 8, 2012, 04:25 PM

This one, amongst others - But I am pretty sure it was my first (Who said you always remember your first?

)

Arkious · Jul 8, 2012, 05:41 PM

YEAH!!

what a great phone for £20 when i was 11 :-D

puma1552 · Jul 8, 2012, 06:01 PM

Nokia 8265 on AT&T, the first phone after the popular 8210 in Charlies Angels. The 8265 was the first one with a WHITE screen instead of the crappy dim green, loved it to death and indestructible.

After that, I had a KRZR on Verizon:

I REALLY loved that KRZR and still do, it was the absolute PERFECT size.

Would a KRZR work on today's networks???

iSaint · Jul 8, 2012, 06:24 PM

1990 or so.

Nothing crazy!

He sold the company, retired, been in the stock market ever since. Now he is all about "saving" money. He now drives a used 2004 Lincoln and uses coupons while shopping! LOL. He's "normal" now. No longer the bad ass. . . .

That's a big lifestyle change.

I couldn't do it.

No matter how terrible, that first one is special.

Caliber26 · Jul 8, 2012, 08:00 PM

Despite the many conveniences and resources of a smartphone, I have to say that I miss the simplicity of old-school phones. Just plain ole calling and texting.

AppleFanatic10 · Jul 8, 2012, 08:01 PM

The one with no color.

abdelrm · Jul 8, 2012, 08:56 PM

from 2004 to 2008. I still have the phone with it's original box and everything that came with it. What fond memories. Following this was the iPhone 3G.

Pinkie Pie · Jul 8, 2012, 09:09 PM
