What was your first cell/mobile phone?

[SimuLord]

A Nokia 6030 in 2008. I resisted getting a cell phone for a very long time, but when I found myself unemployed I realized that unless I wanted to be tethered to my landline I had to find a more mobile way to take calls from prospective employers. I used it so little that I had it on a prepaid plan---it wasn't until February of this year (two months after the divorce) that prepaid could no longer sustain itself, because I had far more interesting uses for a phone than simply trying to get jobs---girlfriends tend to expect calls and texts!

Anyone remember the phone you got from sending in $50 and the lable from your coke bottle? Yeah, I had that one.

One girl at a time, good sir. I am many things, but a cheater is not one of them.

My first and current phone is the Juke. It's terrible, with its only redeeming value being that it is pretty small.

I can get a new phone, but refuse to do so because that would involve me having to go to the store, having to choose from a selection of phones that all look and do the same thing, and go home after that and realize the time I have wasted.

My dad gave me his old one, that didn't work when I was younger. It didn't turn in, I just pretended to ring people.
First actual phone was probably a Nokia 3210.

My first cell phone was a Nokia 3100, I believe. I'm not too sure, it was an old model, and I can't seem to find a picture of the exact phone. Amazingly, it stopped working after I dropped it in the toilet. Incredible, really.

One of these (nokia 5110) back in '98 or '99, can't remember.

I forget the name of it, but it was around 2001/2002. Just some crappy flip phone because they were just starting to become popular. I always had dropped calls, got messages days later. Pretty much the biggest piece of shit phone ever. hen I got rid of it I actually stayed away from cell phones up until a few years ago.

Kyocera 2235 [http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=77].
Pretty much the toughest phone ever, was given it by my mum when she got a new phone, back when CDMA was still in use...
One time it fell out of my pocket onto a bank I was running down, I trod on it and slid down the bank on it, and it still worked perfectly, was just a little dirty. I really miss that phone.

Some sort of Nokia flip-top shenanigans from AT&T. It was free and got the job done. Still works, though, not well. I'd love to see this topic again in like 5 years or so.

A Philips Savvy, feels like an eon ago now.

I also had an old Nokia 3210. Good times.

Don't remember. Might have been black.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Had to dig up the manual for it to find the model number and stuff.

A Samsung SGH-a437. Got it in...October 2007.

It's still my phone. Have a no-texting plan, though.

 

[cynikles]

Can't remember the model, but it was a very small Motorola phone I started using in 2002 or so.

 

[thylasos]

An old motorola brick, which I got in... 1999, or maybe 2000. No idea of the model number. Got it for a fiver off a pikey mate of mine.

 

[XJ-0461]

My current one. It's a Motorola V235 that I've had for maybe 5 or 6 years. It still works so, I never saw the point in upgrading.

 

[z3rostr1fe]

A Nokia. Of course. I believe it was the 5110.

Ah yes... Nokia 5110... Use it in any public place, nobody dares nab it... My first phone as well...

I believe mine was a Philips C-13, ancient phone, I had it back in 01/02 I think, back when WAP and Vibrate were fancy features. It got stolen and replaced with a Sony and I've been using them ever since.
