I think I had the same phone, but it was in college. I *gasp* didn't have a cellphone in high school, since they cost money. This was about the time they started ripping out payphones too. I always felt they should have been converted into slot machines.

My first was a Samsung something or other in 2002. I had to pay $600 for a deposit because I didn't have any credit established, and I didn't want to use my parents' credit; I wanted to do it by myself (this was especially smart of me to do that the week before christmas). It was a flip phone with a blue backlight and that thing lasted forever.

My first phone was an Ericsson (long before Sony came along), it had a two line display and was (I think) the first phone to feature customisation - there was a panel surrounding the keypad and screen that could be swapped out for a different coloured one :crazy:

I've guessed all the model numbers I can but can't find a picture :mellow:

it was a little Samsung plastic-y flip phone. no camera, barely had picture messaging. it was a really sturdy phone. got it in about...2005? Unfortunately, after about having it for about 2 years, my mom washed it in the machine. It worked a little bit after that, but the screen was pretty much gone, and then it completely died a month later.

I had that same type of Sony Ericson which musique247 mentioned. I remember mine was green and it was massive. I remember i lost it when I accidentally dropped it overboard when I was on a friend's boat.

My uncle had mobile phones much earlier. He started out in the days of the kermit phone which you could only use at home or near a gas station with a transmitter.
Later on he changed to the very first true mobile phone network system which preceded the GSM system. Those phones were twice as big as my Sony Ericsson.

My first phone was the luxurious Fusic. The hidden fees that came with that phone were absolutely scrumptious and the beautiful interface put a smile on my face every time I flipped it open.

and then..some -nostalgia-

Mine was some Ericsson T10? I don't know, it was some sort of mini-brick with that plasticky cover that closes the keypad. I got it when I was 9 back in 2003, because I wanted to be like the cool guy in Air Force One whipping their cell phones in the crisis. The Ericsson looked very much like those baddies' phones they used in Air Force One.

I was 11 and demanded to inherit my mother's worn out mobile phone. It felt like a necessity as I was approaching the age of 12: my gosh, another expression of "maturity"! I was intrigued by the fantasy of having a private phoning device and didn't even use it that much. It reminds me of my unexplainable joy for the Tamagotchi, Tetris, even Furby FFS... And I still like Nintendo! For its Brain Teaser game that is.
