What was your first mobile phone?

[MarinMartin]

my first mobile was an old motorola brick I inherited from my dad. in fact it was this one. I actually still have it, no longer works because the battery has 'expired' but if I could find another battery for it Id love to get it working again. bring back the retro

My first couple of phones were ericsson:

I had one of these for a while:

Then I had one of these, which I really liked until I dropped it in the loo, I tried drying it out, but it was a gonner:

Hey, ditto!

I'd forgotten about my T28, and I loved that phone!

The Motorola flip-phones with the extendable antennas were/are the best for low levels of radiation when held next to your skull (can't remember the terminology??)...

...I had to Google it

My first one was very similar to the one on the right in this photo .

Was a novelty being able to text people , novelty didn't last long though . Just became annoying sending/receiving messages all the time and getting used to text language . And it still is to this day ! :evil:

I still have one of those!

Mmmmmmmm Sexy, so cutting edge!

one of those then this. even cooler!

That was my first phone. It came with a smaller stubby antenna which I used most of the time that gave a slightly worse reception. Lasted a heady 9 hours on standby and had 9 number programmable memory! Didn't really use it as it was on an arse rapingly expensive vodafone contract.

Fine first mobile, had one of these (or a very similar motorola) back in the day. One of my parents still has the number it came with.

Second was the Ericsson t28

Many a happy hour was spent playing solitaire at work on this.

Fave old one I had was a nokia 8810 or 8850. Was't even mine, lent it off a friend for a few months after my own broke mid contract.

The T28 was the best phone at the time, I loved mine.
John, is that Nokia the 'Matrix' phone?

Christ it was terrible. Used to get static electric shocks off the aerial as you were using it........

Flip FTW, did seem super high tech for 2000!

Google says it wasn't the matrix phone sadly. The one I had was a dressed up 8210, the matrix one looked more curved >

Mine was Sony Z1, and today I am dreaming to find a NOS one...
