I can remember when there was no text at all and no flip phones were around...my first mobile was a motorola brick which was mainly aimed at business executives at the time.
good old days indeed!

Good old days indeed.
My first was the Sony Z5, lovely device still remember it well.
In 10 years time, what will we be saying!!!
Remember the phones we use to have with 1gb memory
might be 100gb by then.

I still remember at my end . . . (I guess that was in '93 or '94) wherein you CAN only make calls (NO SMS yet) in certain areas - only, as cell sites are still LIMITED
Motorola Star-Tac !

If you still fancy a bit of nostalgia you can pick a retro mobile from here: www.retrobrick.com

@axxxr,
I remember those phones from pre launch and have owned most of the Motorola's from the 8000 and up. How many batteries did you have to last a day back then? makes me laugh when i think of the cost and features that we were all so excited about £3.000 was the selling price for the 8000's when first out and i may consider buying a 8500X as they are so cheap nice link thanks for that.

My 1st phone was back in 1999, a PAYG BT Cellnet 'U' Digi Phillips handset, text messages were only 5p to send which was good! ;-)

Cant find an image of my first phone, it was a nortel on one2one network. I also had a voda mobile which had some kind of built in sim!
Posted by Sammy_boy
I remember my first phone being a Nokia 3110 (NOT 3310!), a phone which was brilliant in it's time, relatively compact and quite a few features. Got it when I took out my first ever phone contract!
I remember my dad's first 'mobile' phone at the end of the '80s, a huuuuuge Panasonic mobile phone that you slung over your shoulder. I remember it weighed a ton when I had to carry the thing about with me for him once, my shoulder killed by the end of it!

God, I remember the Startac. My friend at college had one and I though that phone was the bee knees, I remember being in awe at texting because I was on PayG and it wasnt available then
This was my first mobile it was huge and I was so embarrased

I went through all the Startac range, the 70, 80, 130 and X and I still have my 130
the early ones had a problem where the plastic was not formed correctly and so it cracked around the antenna opening. I went through 3 casings replaced under warranty before I got one that lasted.

Hehe, here´s my very first phone: http://www.cellular-news.com/phones/Motorola_d160.php
It was a real brick and I had to think hard to come up with the best way to carry it around. I was really glad to get rid of it finally
Posted by masseur
ok, well if this is going to be another 1st phone thread, here's mine!
NEC 9B (late 1986)
it was anaolgue of course! and note the lack of letters on the keys because this first version had a 100 memory but your couldn't store names against the numbers! a later firmware and keypad update added this feature! cost me $5500 aussie which at todays exchange rate is about £2200! (yikes!)

yea i got a T28s in that year 2. many were amazed by its slimness and super birght backlight. okay battery lasted only a day, but i didn't care. and many thought the antenna could recive singals for outerspace, but sadly no alien ever called.
wish SE would make a few phones desigend like the good old ericsson phones.
