Some ancient Motorola that I can't find pictures of. I remember the BT Cellnet sim card was credit card size.

i had a Samsung R225....that was back in year 9. Loved it, simply because i finally had a cell phone.

i'm pretty old

ericsson t20 had wap and you didn't need to lock the keypad. magic

Right..

OP's Brick phone was my first one too! Snake was the BOMB.

After15 years, it still works fine, and I bring it into school sometimes for my friends to marvel over and play snake on. It has significantly boosted my popularity.

Nokia 3310 in 2001.

I was 14 shopping with my dad and brother. My dad got my brother some really expensive hiking boots so I said something like "How come he gets expensive boots but I can't have a phone?", y'know the usual petulant thing teenagers say, and my dad just kinda ignored me. When we left the hiking store my dad went straight to the phone shop across the road and got me a phone.

I remember it cost like £90-100 back then. Kids these days with their £10 colour phones don't know they've been born!

That's a cute story :lol:

my Nokia 3310 belonged to my half-brother before it was given to me, my parents thought I needed a phone when I first went on a youth summer camp alone. I remember my second phone as well, my father took me to the phone shop to choose one because they'd all gotten new phones, I didn't really want to because I felt like they were spoiling me by buying me a new phone :lol:

good old times.. I chose a Samsung X480 then, it looked like this, I thought it was extremely pretty but I didn't want my dad to buy it because, as you said, back then it was quite expensive.. He bought me the phone anyway. Even now I think it's a nice phone, I kept it for ages. The light on the front would be turned on as long as the phone was turned on and you were able to choose the colour of the light, how cool was that! I wasn't able to take pictures with it, though, some of my friends had really cool phones with cameras :cool:

and a short time after that, the slide phones were really cool :tongue:

I only really used 3 phones so far. :redface:

My 3310 is quite safe to take to school now, my Chemistry teacher confiscates every phone that looks better than his own and mine certainly doesn't :lol:

About 10 years ago, a Nokia 3310 :biggrin:

I was 7 back then! And I had a nice bright purple Winnie the Pooh cover for it, even though I hated Winnie the Pooh :lol:

And now I have to admit, I started using the same phone again one week ago :lol:

I was getting sick of everyone having smartphones so I decided to start using this one again. It still works, and I bet even now its battery life is longer than that of the average modern phone :tongue:

And the memories.. :love:

I had this one too!! Although in year 7 when we were doing a modern take of Oliver Twist somebody took it out of my pocket (in the song 'Gotta pick a pocket or two') an dropped it on the floor....cracking the tile I should say but breaking the phone also.

I had an old Philips thing and then in Y9 I got a Nokia 3510. For my sixteenth birthday my parents got me a Motorola Razr, and I still have it today (six years later!)
