What was your very first mobile phone?

Did it have polyphonic ringtonzz, bluetooth, group text,flip/slide features, a video camera? Snake, tetris, backgammon? :pac:

Mine was a good old Nokia 3310. The most unshakeable, unbreakable phone with the longest battery life I've ever had. Plus snake was pretty cool.

Ericsson T10.

Great phone with 2 lines of text on the display. Barely had txting though.

I'm not even sure what my brick was called but I decided to splash my confirmation money straight away and spent £99 (punts was the old currency for some of you young ones) on an Esat Digiphone (barely) mobile phone. It was mainly used for prank phone calling free phone numbers... A misspent youth! I love my brrriiiick.

The silver metallic finish on that phone is a nice touch.

My mother had that phone. I remember I ballsed it for her when I accidentally changed the language to Arabic

Ericsson T10 also.

Esat Digifone. Those were the days. None of your 'priority moments' or 'webtexting' back in those times!

TheDoctor · 09-10-2014 10:41am

Nokia 5110 for me

Except mine was all black.
When you think how mobiles have changed in 14 years it's actually quite amazing.

Thargor · 09-10-2014 10:41am

Remember when you used to get stickers in the box from Eircell and Esat Digifone so when you filled the phones memory up you could start sticking peoples names and numbers to the back of the case?

You monster :eek:

km991148 · 09-10-2014 10:42am

3210 back in 99
my m8 had a 5110 - great weapon!
Also - my first colour phone was a t68 when Ericsson were all Swedish - great phone with its very own camera add on - fancee dan!

Also - I remember coming across a site (iobox maybe) that let you design a custom operator graphic - sent a non complimentary image to a m8 for the craic - turned out it wasn't possible to reset it back to vodafone or whatever - doh!

Lads do you all remember this ad?!

Loved it when it came out. The idea of texting was so wow!

bnt · 09-10-2014 10:44am

Orange Nokia 2140 (UK). Built like a tank. The antenna tip broke off after a couple of years, didn't make any difference.

Have a look at THESE babies!

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 09-10-2014 10:46am

A Panasonic something or other in 1997. It was a brick and you couldn't text at that time. Worst thing every happened, as from that day forward you could get no peace and quiet. You were contactable in the field where beforehand only had to deal with people and issues when back at the office.

PizzamanIRL · 09-10-2014 10:48am

IPhone 6. I can colour on it!

I had the Nokia on the left :-)

Can't figure out what the first one I had was. Some Motorola that had a cradle to charge it in and was the size of a brick. Talk time on full battery was something like 90 minutes.

Whats the one second from the right in that pic? That's my first phone and I could never track it down...

indigo twist · 09-10-2014 10:52am

This was mine.

A right dinosaur! Motorola L7089.

surpy · 09-10-2014 10:53am

snap, nokia 1610 i think is what google tells me. i was 13 or 14 id reckon
the 10 hours battery life prepared me for the smart phones of today

i feel so old

blastman · 09-10-2014 10:53am

This:

Now that's a proper brick. 088 number and it made phone calls (where most of the time the person on the other end couldn't hear you). That was it. Came with a pair of braces so that your trousers would stay up while you carried it.

Honestly, you kids don't know you're born....:D

A Philips Savvy. Nothing quite like going around to work colleagues and playing them, proudly, without a hint of post x anything/irony, the Old McDonald Had A Farm ringtone..

bonzodog2 · 09-10-2014 10:56am

Siemens C10 in 1999. Still works, but I don't use it. Have the same number still.
