Not sure if there has ever been a post about this but why not look back at the years gone by and remember your early phones or best ones of the earlier years and your experiences. I look back remembering my first colour screen phone which was the Ericsson T68 and i remember thinking how excited i was at being first into the Orange shop in Birmingham in the morning to get my upgrade and thinking it was amazing having this colour screen phone and thought i was seeing history my friends were jealous and i thought i was the bees knees. I still think it was a classic phone now. How things have changed eh but i used to love all those old Ericsson phones though some had screens too small.

i loved my Nokia 8310 when I got it, not quite colour screen but the white lights were cool and it was the smallest coolest thing since the 8210, and I was the right age for that to be very important to me at the time!!

Hi all,
I must confess i definitely preferred Ericsson to SE and agree the T68 and T68i where indeed ground breaking and amazing phones. Hence my return to the T68i avatar as it reminds me of happy Ericsson phone times.

an ericsson phone had a special feeling, a feeling no other phone can give you.
i remember my first one, the T28s, it was very slim, had a very bright backlight, and many found it amazing. then came the T39m shortly followed by the T68m. i was the 2nd person in my country to get it (salesperson beat me to it).
the design (smooth, perfect fit, the mix of te gold and yellow, the rubber back), the battery performence, the first good color screen phone on the global market, the functions. and ofcourse the sweet led lights.

why can't SE revive the good old /// phones.
i would kill to get an upgraded gold T68m (K750 specs would be more then enough, but with M2 support).
Nothing can beat the sould of the old Ericsson phones.

Yes you know i used to love the T39 and T28 and thinking back they were really very ultra slim for the time and they were probably thinner than most phones now. The flips used to be cool too. I used to prefer these phones to the old Nokia 3310 back then.

Looking back the best phones I've used and most enjoyed using were the SE T68i and the 6230.

My next phone is going to have to be the Nokia N95 and I have a feeling it going to bring the reveloution and enjoyment that I expect from a phone.

The one that stands out for me was the 7110 - I loved the design with teh snap down slide, it just felt cool to use, the screen was bigger than the previous models, batterylife was great as was reception and call quality. I did have one of the slightly newer models which meant it didn't suffer a lot of the bugs that the earliest ones did.

On the SE front, it's definitely the P900 - I feel constantly let down by the current PDA/phone hybrids, none have seemed to quite managed to match the impression the P900 made with me. It seemed to blend the PDA and phone parts without compromising either being both an excellent phone and PDA.

My first Ericsson phone was and still is the gh688 but my favourite Ericsson is the r320s. There's just no beating that phone, even my p910i fails to make me feel the way I do when holding my r320s. Mind you I still have the r600, t610, k700i and f500i, yet all of them just don't arouse my senses like the r320s.

My Siemens SL45.

It was made in real aliminium, had a terrific keypad and a MP3-player (this was the 2nd or 3rd mobile ever to have that feature in Europe back then.)

However, the transfer speed was terrible slow, and memory cards was expensive so I guess I didn't use it to it's fully potential, until I somehow broke it. The menus were terrible. This was the first and last Siemens I've ever owned.
