Can you believe I've never owned a cell phone in my entire life?
Kinda weird when I think about it.

What was your first mobile/cell phone?

Oh yeah, the Phillips Orange savvy. Still have it in the house, but unsurprisingly, it does not work.
Pretty much this, but I got mine when these were long outta style. It's been nearly 4 years since then. Thinking of replacing it with a hacked Iphone or something.Goofguy said:I had this bad boy, the Motorola Razr V3:
Not a bad phone but for a first.
A Sendo...whatever the hell this is.
It had Snake.
Now all my phones must have either Snake or Tetris on them.

Mercury one2one Personal Call tariff with the m150 phone, circa 1997:
Had to be in my mother's name as I was just shy of 18. Some sort of special offer. The phone lasted 12 hours on standby, didn't support SMS and in my case, got used pretty hard. I spent HOURS talking to friends while plugged into the wall charger in my bedroom, sat against a cupboard.
The tariff allowed for absolutely unlimited calls to area codes adjacent to me, which at the time was quite revolutionary. When the tariff was discontinued, people who were already on it re-sold their contracts for hundreds of pounds. Those contracts had no fair use policies which made them particularly attractive (as the next generation that replaced them, did). The competition at the time as along the lines of "60 minutes a month for £30". How far we have come
After that is was Nokia all the way. No one could compete with them, so prevalent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNL3YtdcR_E] they were. Had the 7110, 6210, Ericsson T39, then moved to MDA, MDAII, MDAII, Samsung Omnia Pro (hard keyboards on phones rox0r) and finally made the switch to android with Samsung Galaxy S2.

Some Virgin Mobile-LG smart phone that I really don't like. Barely runs an outdated Android OS, crashes often, can't run a good fraction of all apps in the store, and I'm using a data plan that isn't Verizon which means 60% of the time I have no Internet and connection.
Same for me, oh the memories... I lost it 2 years after I got it ... I had a wolf skin for itHazy992 said:I was just thinking about this the other day, mine was the Nokia 3310.
I got one for my tenth birthday and it was awesome
this bad boy was a fucking brick, the samsung A650, shit ran hot as oil lit on fire when you texted alot, but god damn if it could be destroyed, it went through the missourri river, ran over 3 times, tossed out a 2 story window, and the battery still lasted me for 3.5 years before starting to poop out (and i charge my phone every night)
good memories...texted like a champ on it.
Ah, ha. I get to one-up you again.Hazy992 said:
I had the vastly superior (yet essentially the same) Nokia 3330.
So many Nokias here. You huys must be pro at Snake, all of you
My first phone was Sony-Ericsson K700 (or I think it was a K, I'm pretty sure about the 700...although it could have been 500, too. the picture looks about right, though)
Phone fell in a bucket of water. But it's not what killed it. It will be missed.

Hmmm.....first cell phone? That was a Motorola v300. I got it waaaaay back in the days of 2004. I was late to the cell phone craze.
It was some old as fuck Motorola I got when my mother got her first Sony Ericsson. I didn't even really use it since I was like 9 and had no use of a cellphone. Now I have some Nokia Xpress Music from 2007 that I could just as well upgrade but don't have the money or desire to.
Same here! Spent all my time playing the original Snake on it.Bucht said:My first was a Nokia 5110 bought it somewhere in 1998- '99, it replaced by a 3310 a few years later.
