Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 
My first mobile was pre text but post brick. Small and almost round with a push up part at the top you had to move to answer or make calls and a stubby aerial (was cheaper to get this than have BT put a landline in) :rofl:

When Comtel came round we got a proper land line.

Next mobile was a Siemens A50 then a Nokia 3510i. Hubby has just got a Motorola V3i (his first mobile ever).

It was compact for its day, but really quite chunky, especially with the 'extended usage time' battery clamped to the back of it.

I bought mine in late 1995.

Ah, happy days. Nothing about today's phones can quite beat the sense of importance you get from extending the aerial before answering a call. :D
I got one of these at Orange launch in April '94 (I used to have the Hutchinson Rabbit and they were offered as a replacement), I've still got it and it still works with the SIM from my Motorola V3:smokin: My partner's daughter borrowed it when she went clubbing the other week and was the centre of attention:D

They where excellent phones based on the nokia 2110. Don't think I had one come back faulty yet sold 100's. I had a company one as a demo with a clear case fitted, looked real cool.

It was also a very basic phone with a rock solid operating system thats not really changed a lot to some of the cheaper modern day nokia's.
