Siemens MC60. That was also my first camera phone. Oh boy, did the phone and the camera suck!

The T68i should really get more appreciation as both the first colour screen phone for a lot of people, and really the granddaddy of most of the current range. If you look at the menu structure and most of the basics of that phone, things haven't really moved on too much - most (non-smartphone) SE's these days are just the T68i + a better screen, a built in communicam, and a memory slot... the interface has gotten a little slicker, but that's about it.

After the 256-colour T68i, my next phone was the P800 - with an amazing 4096 colours! I can remember my friends being absolutely blown away by that big screen at the time - of course it looks absolutely terrible now...

My first color-screen phone was t310. It was ugly. I went to buy a t100 and i saw it had color screen and i though it was better upgrade from t65 to t310 than t100, so i bough it. After that 3 friends of mine bough it too cause they were impressed by its changeable themes. so all of us had the same phone. Some of us had and the detachable camera (2 of 4).

My first Color Screen Phone was NOKIA 3100. Oh, God, I remember, I was longing for that phone so much. I saw it on NOKIA website for the first time, and I had to have it. My friend got one as a present, and I actually saw it live, I was so impressed when I saw that 3100 has real folders on the phone. (funny when you look at it now, but then again I was using NOKIA 2100 with monochrome black & white display) I was also impressed by that fluorescent frame that was powered by solar energy during the day, and was glowing in the dark or during the night.

When I finally bought it I was sooooo happy, I also bought a few differnet color covers, but blue was my favorite. I remember I wanted to buy that snap on camera for 3100, gaming covers, radio attachment, but I couldn't find it anywhere in my country.

One more thing that I relate to 3100 was my first experience with GPRS and ESATO. You see, when I bought my 3100, I got a message saying that I was one of the 5000 chosen people to test GPRS for free for 6 months. So I was the only one with GPRS in my town. I remember spending nights online searching for wallpapers and ring tones for my 3100, because that was the only way to get ring tones and wallpapers on 3100, because there wasn't any USB cable available then. That's how I discovered ESATO!

I was a die hard NOKIA fan back then, and I didn't want to hear about T610, I was waiting for NOKIA to release 3100 with camera, my perfect dream phone back then, but they released 3200 which was awful. I remember, saying that I'll never change my 3100 for another phone. Boy was I wrong! Some of my friends still tease me about that when I'm buying new phones.

In the beginning I was always wearing my 3100 on neck strap, here are some photos. Feel free to laugh.




Snap on camera for NOKIA 3100! Hi tech stuff, haha

p.s. An at that time Japan & Korea were already selling 2 & 3 MP CCD camera phones.
