Nokia 5125 for me. Playing snake was fun, texting was a pain in the dick. But I felt like a straight up pimp at the time, and laughed at the poors and their pagers haha
 Attached FileThen I realized what roaming charges were, and text/minute plans were brutally enforced. Yikes. |

It was a Nokia pay-by-the-minute phone, sometime in the mid to late 90s. Not sure which model.

I had the first Motorola "brick" phone, before they came out with the "mini-brick." BrandsMart would give you the phone for a penny, but you had no free air time. Every call you made was charged at $0.50 per minute. And you had a mandatory two-year contract.

I was late to the cell phone game, I didn't see a reason to have one back then.
My first phone was some POS nondescript flip phone. I remember it had "custom ringtones" that were more or less MIDI files. That said my second phone as a Razr. |

Mine was virtually the same as pictured in the op, but solid black with a green backlit LCD screen.

Don't remember the model number. Motorola equipment. Installed in car. Took up quite a bit of trunk space. Circa 1985.

I dont remember my first, but I do remember when I switched over to the pm225 because it had blue buttons in the mid 90s then the razer when it came out. My first smart phone was the blackberry then my first android was the my touch 3g slider. First apple was the 3gs. Think my first galaxy was the galaxy s3. Before the galaxy s3 I was all about HTC phones.

My wife gave me some kind of Trak flip phone.
I have no idea who makes it, don't care. I use it maybe 2-3 times a year. Other wise it sits in a dish on the hall desk. It's just something my wife tried to get me to use/carry that I see very little to no use in my daily life. If it was to disappear tomorrow I wouldn't even notice. I really don't consider it "my" cell phone. My wife has some kind of cell phone, I have no idea who made it. That being said, to OP's question, I still haven't gotten my first cell phone. Just have no interest in cell phones. As previously mentioned they have no use in my daily life. |
