Do you remember your first mobile phone? Im young so i might still have mine somewhere it was a sagem myv-55 back in 2004/5 every teenager had that phone at the time, I think it was the first budget camara phone.

Oh I remember my first one. Lots of fumbling around in the dark and pushing of buttons not knowing what the response might be.

1994, Old NEC Brick, Used it as a Paperweight for a while too

I'm currently still using my 2nd phone.

I broke my snazzy, little computery type modern phone jobby and the only other phone I have is this:

I'm absolutely LOVING it. Text and calls. That's all I need.

Nokia 2100 has to be almost 10 years ago.

Calls, texts and snake to pretend you're busy

TeddyTedson · 01-03-2011 02:35AM

I still have it.:)

Aodan83 · 01-03-2011 02:37AM

Some Phillips yoke. Got it for my birthday. Was absolutely shtie. Lasted about 2 years though...

karlog · 01-03-2011 02:37AM

My first phone and it will be my last. Yeh that's right, i don't need any fancy apps or gimmicks, this one works just fine.

Everyone had them! They were tough out too, practically indestructible

Trium Astral

Made by Mitsubishi...how weird, as they are probably my favourite car manufacturer as well!

AFC_1903 · 01-03-2011 02:43AM

A Motorola Talkabout 180 - and it still works. It rose like a Phoenix from the ashes after a toilety death! :eek:

It stored 10 messages, did not connect the names of senders to messages (thus enabling/requiring you to learn friends numbers) and came with a free diskman! Plus it came with better ringtones than my current phone!

Heres my first one that I got in 1999 when I was 13! I don't think it even had text messaging! I thought I was the business:D

Text messages were free back then too. Though nobody sent messages!!!!

Aoifey! · 01-03-2011 02:51AM

Nokia 3210, had a pink cover with hearts for it and all :cool:

Oh god I miss original snake!

Daegerty · 01-03-2011 02:52AM

Some Alcatel thingy from 1999. It was still going 10 years later but I disposed of it after the cunts Vodafone refused to give me an unlock code for it.

I only wanted it unlocked because it was my first phone but if I need to buy 130e of Vodafone credit for that to happen they can shove it up their arse.

Must have dropped mine about a thousand times and the only reason I stopped using it was because I dropped it that thousandth time and half the screen went blank. Still took calls but you had to guess what half of most text messages said.

My brother tried to test this one day by having a phone throwing competition with my friend. Turns out they're not so indestructible after all.

Ahhh the good times, when having snake on your phone was a big deal.

And the crappy covers they would sell everywhere.

The only thing indestructible on this planet is a Volkswagen TDI engine.

Mine was the almighty Nokia 3210, savage phone.

Senna · 01-03-2011 03:04AM

My dad worked for Telecom Eireann and had one of these for work around 1993. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever. Weighted a ton.
