    Can't remember the name of the phone think it was a Nokia but the camera was a separate attachment. Me and my now husband thought we were great altogether the day we bought these :)

    My first mobile phone was a Mitsubishi Trium that I got free with my bank when I joined up for a student account. Along time ok that lol. Don,t see banks doin offers like that anymore either. It was a flip phone I used to pretent it was the communicator from Star Trek

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Nokia 3210. It was the very first thing I bought out of my first pay check when I started working. :)

    One of those 088 Motorola's with an aerial like that you had to pull up.

    Then some silver Panasonic on Speakeasy when it first launched, after Eircell nerfed the 088 network.

    Went through the usual suspects. 5110, 6110, 3210, 3310, 8210, 3410, 3510i, 6100, 8310, 6230i, N73, N8. A few Siemens (C25, M35, S55), Sony Ericsson K750i (and the old Ericson T10 Harry Hill used to advertise), Sharp (the GX10 Vodafone one), Sagem (My55 I think), Trium (Mars), Motorola (V50, Razr and won an L7 from 7up in 2006).

    I had a mobile phone fetish for a few years - like the Apple fanboys now, I had to have the latest money grabbing gimmick that came out. They seem so primative now but this was life changing stuff - FM Radio, changeable covers, polyphonic ringtones, 0.3mp camera, MMS messaging (despite knowing nobody with an MMS enabled phone), whatever iMode was...

    Couldn't care less now.

    Ahh that takes me back. I used to love the customisable covers. I had a black one with a red dragon. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

    3210. A mate had the Matrix phone with the slide down key cover. Thought he was the dogs testicles. Snake, programming in ringtones yourself. Sending people template messages like "Happy Birthday". Simpler times!

    Nokia 3410. Absolutely loved it and was chuffed with life when I got it for Christmas that year. I remember I had "Hey Mama" by the Black Eyed Peas as a polyphonic ringtone and thought that was brilliant! Must've been 2002/3 I think. We had a Nokia 5110 as a house phone instead of a landline for years before that. I was the envy of all my friends!

    A Siemens S3 Com like this, got it around '95/'96:

    http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=120793&d=1401091925

    Was one of the first GSM phones available from Eircell. Thought I was the bees knees with my case which clipped onto my belt. :pac:

    Given my complete inability to chuck out anything, I still have it up in the attic somewhere, probably along with the box and charger. Still have the same 087 number since then, of course now with the 2 in front of it.
