The year was 1996, a "brick-shaped" nokia 1610 which in weeks was replaced by a 2110. Everbody used to walk around with those crazy motorola pagers / buzzers back then. I also wanted one but got a mobile instead. It sure beat the concept of having change or a phonecard in your pocket while looking for a phonecell that was always occupied or out of order when you needed to use it.

lol i know what you mean i do the same all the time ,parents always fall for trick
my first phone was at begining of 1999 when 3210 just came out and told my dad i must get it cause evryone one in school had one i had only turned 12 and it costs £160 pay as you go ,it worked that trick,there was only about two other people in school wthh phones it was great

My first phone was in late 1994 and it was a Mitsubishi 200x one of the slimest and nicest phones for its size of the day, total analog no digital yet. Then later in 1995 I got the Nokia 232, that was a kick ass phone for its day also here in the USA. Then in 1997 or 1998 I got a Nokia 6100 series phone, my first digital phone, left crappy at&t and move to Omnipoint(later ot be merged with Voicestream and now Tmobile) that was in 1998 and it was the Nokia 6190. Then in 2000 I had the Nokia 8290 still with VS. Now october 2002 still with Tmobile the T68mi!! This is the best one yet and I wont be going back to Nokia any time soon.

My first phone was an old Motorola bag phone 1994(5) big, ugly but i coudl make calls in a ravine!!!!!

Then i went to a Nokia 100??? i think that is what it was it was a handheld but it took about 2 hands to carry, can anyone confirm if this was a nokia model.....I know it was one of the first mass marketed Nokias for consumers.

then on to bigger and better until ......


The T68i !!!!! ahh life is sweet, especially if the P800 would come out.

My first mobile was a german Bosch COM 607, bought in 1997 with a prepaid SIM card. It was quite good for that time (five years ago).

Motorola PCS flare (our first digital phone, basically a PT-500 without the flip)

I got a Philips Fizz and it was in 1995. It was black, yellow and ugly, but it was a breakthrough in communications anyway

In 1997 i converted to a Nokia 3110. That lasted until Year 2000, when the company gave me a used Ericsson SH888 (yeak). I ran to the stores and bought a Ericsson R320S quickly and had it until June 2001 when I converted to a Ericsson T39 with a bluetooth headset. The headset from Ericsson was used 1 or 2 times maximum, but the phone I LOVED!. The BT headset was sold on auction tradera.com Shortly after that, the company offered me to use the Ericsson R380S as a work mobile. I used it, for 6 months or so, then gave it back (i hated it).

In September 2002 I felt like upgrading, so I bought a Pocket PC from Fujitsu-Siemens (LOOX). And waited for their GPRS/GSM jacket to be released... but they never released it... GAAAAH!!!!

The T39 still lives with me.... and now, in December 2002, I bought the P800 together with a Bluespoon Bluetooth headset....

...so what's next?

Gadget freaks all over the place heh

Hey

I got my first phone in 2000, I was 10. I got it for a reward for finishing my 1st brace! It was a Nokia 3210.

Then for Christmas a year later (2001) I got a Sendo s200 when I was 11.

In April 2002 I bought myself a Motorola V100 (VBox) for £40 off eBay. What a mistake.

Then Christmas 2002 (12 years old) I finally came to some sense and got my T300 .
