What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

What was the first mobile phone you owned?

Mine was this little beauty by Nokia, the 5110. I've had Nokia's ever since.
I went from a Nokia 5110, then 3210, 3310, then a colour screen 6100, my last was a 7610, and now i have a 3250:D

Loved my first phone though!

Nokia 7110..

Brilliant phone. I remember once that I was talking on it, dropped it, and it bounced off several crates. Not only was it still working, but it hadn't even lost the call..

Sold it to a friend for £20. He gave it to his wife. She gave it to another friend of mine. His sister nicked it, and sold it to her mate for £50..

Wish I had held out for more money..

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Mine was a Philips C12! I've still got it and it looks like new. BT stopped the use of that phone only a few months ago too.

Then i went to a Nokia 3330 and after that a Sony Ericsson Z600 and now i have a Sony Ericsson K750i. :)

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I had a technophone 415

http://pictures.partsearch.com/bbc/b...cac29dc6f0.gif

I think It was very similar to a nokia phone.
After that went to:
Phillips savvy
Ericsson t18
Sony j5
Sony ericsson t68i
Samsung v200
O2 xda 2

Current phone is either a Sony k750i or an O2 xda mini s.

Also have a old school Sony z5 as I always wanted one as they are cool and am lookin for a nice Ericsson t28 or t29 as well. :)

I love phones me :erm:

It was analogue and was on Hutchinson telecom (before it was orange).

It was built like a brick and weighed as much and even survived a dip in the bath.

Bloody hate nokia's, It's only now they are starting to get some feature on them.

Teletal 210, the first PAYG from Vodafone which Tesco stocked, back in 1998.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I had the same... was it the 1630?

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I had some Sagem thing that I utterly broke.

After that, I had a Nokia 3410 (on O2), which has very recently been passed to Father-in-Law Nug, 'cos he had a Phillips C12 which O2 have stopped supporting.

Went onto a Motorola V220 (which I broke, and got replaced with the black one), and I've now got the V3 :)

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Phillips C12, like the one above on the BT Cellnet (now O2) "U" package. 5p texts. Those were the days!

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Ericsson A1018 then i had a 3310 for ages before gettin the k750i a few months ago.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Mine was the 1610

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

1610 1620 & 1630 all look the same... I got mine on contract with one2one (T-Mobile) I remember it used to get very hot! :)

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Motorola Startac (I think) in about 1996 or so. Then a Motorola Flare, then an Ericsson GH-something (with the big short stubby antenna) then a Nokia 3310 3330 then a 3410 then a SE T630 and now a SE k750i.

Only 11 months left on the contract before I get another one :)

Oh, and there was some sort of Panasonic in between the Flare and the GH.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

How does a phone die a drunken death? ;)

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Nokia 3110 for a couple of years. I replaced this with a 6030 a few months back.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

easy...my 1st 3210 dropped in a pint glass, 2nd was too drunk and pi**ed off so threw it against a wall (not recommended) 3rd nokia 3310 traf square went swimming there ;)

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

God this makes me feel old, my first phone was the Maxon-bit-of-a-brick, I tried Googling it to no avail, suffice to say it weighed more than a small car and had a really vicious arial.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I started with a Motorola M3788e from Orange, then went onto a Nokia 3310 then a Nokia 7250 then at work a Nokia 6230 then a 6230i. I eventually upgraded the 7250 to a 6230i and then when I started my new job I got a Nokia 1100 but could not get on with that so chucked it in the drawn and found a 6230 on eBay. I swear by Nokia and one of the reasons for getting rid of the 1100 was it didnt fit in my car kit. So now running a 6230i for personal and a 6230 for work.

I always wanted a 3210 but by the time I went to get one they had stoped making it.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Think you got enough mate. ;)

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Nope, there are a few more that I can't remember:D. Every phone I have had has been on a contract. Although I have bought a few sim free just cause I liked them.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

My first mobile was a startac and it's probably still the one i liked the best.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Mine was a
Nokia 3210
nokia 3330 ?
Sony ericcson...???
t610
Motorola mpx200
XDA II
XDA IIi
and now an XDA Exec

Had a few inbetweens that I can't remember, never mind ;)

A mate of mine had a 'mobile' about 20 odd years ago, the handset doubled as the handle and it weighed and looked like a car battery :eek:

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Yuppies used to think they were so cool with them :LOL:

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

It was a chunky Ericsson - can't recall the model. Probably generated more radiation than Chernobyl :D It was nicked. Interestingly, O2 but a block on it but it didn't stop the chavs from using all the credit. I guess the phone pre-dated blocking :erm:

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

A fantastic phone, I gave mine to my mum for a while but now we keep it in the house as an 'Emergency' Phone. Basicly if one of us is going out and cant find our mobile we take that. Its also handy if the landline is tied up.

Had one of those, only finaly got rid of it in the end because it was completley and utterley broke.


My Phone History is a little bit confusing but here goes....
C12
Siemens C25 (terrible phone)
Back to another similar C12 becuase the c25 was poo
Nokia 3310 (Far too easy to break)
Back to my original c12 because I didnt like the 3310 either
Nokia 7110
Sony Ericsson t610 (Nice, small and light)
Samsung d500 (Virtually indestructable)

And I still think the c12 and the 7110 where the best of the lot.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I have had a 'do' with my XDA II, well two actually, I've dropped it down the loo, ( this was a replacement for the one I droped in the loo before :dunce: ) hand went in quick as yo like, stripped it, dried it and its still working, then the other day, I jumped off the back endof an artic wagon, had the phone in a breast pocket, as I jumped, the phone jumped ouuta the pocket and crashed to the floor ( all in all, about 3 meters ) the SD card came out, the stylus came out, and guess what, yep..................it's fooked.































Only kidding, it's still going strong :shocked: :D :D

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I came into the mobile phone world very late. Couldn't see the point at first. So the first phone I owned is the one I still own.
Siemens SL55.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I can't remember the model number but it was a blue NEC phone (in Feb 1997).

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Hey Zing, I think that was me you are talking about - here is my first mobi, back in the late 80's (a Motorola brick) - I used to have an identical one in NZ when I worked out there (ah, the days before roaming).

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I had a moto 8700 on one2one as my first phone.

It had dual bands.... not automatic though...

It was a classic phone and built like a brick it was great!

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

OMG...Ericsson A1018 - WITH THE BIG OLD FAT BATTERY!!

Mind you, had it for years. The got a 3330 (still my fave of all of them), then a 3510. Then a T610. Then a K700. Then a V3. Now a Z520i. SE are the best. :tu:

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

My second phone after my 3310 was this:

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Nokia 5.1 http://web.orange.co.uk/images/hands...small/nk51.jpg

I had a Nokia 702 next, then a 3210, then an 8210, then I dont recall, then a SE something, then a SE K700, and now a SE K750. Will be a SE K800 soon.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

My first mobile was the Sagem Myx2 and it still is.
I'm not big on phones so as long as it can let me text and call from time to time, I'm not in a hurry to replace it.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

:Yikes:

Those phones are pretty much indestructable! In fact, i have 2 of them sat on my desk next to me right now! I only broke one after it took a 10 foot drop from a girder onto a concrete floor... The screen cracked, it still displayed everything for about 5mins til it was finally dead :(

Faithful phones... I still use the white one and the red one! As well as my K750i and 3220...

Pic attached!

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

My first was a Mitsubishi Trium Geo, my second/present is a Sendo M550. Obscure phones R us.;)

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

My Second phone was one of these
https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2006/07/6.jpg
Was a pretty nice looking phone, shame Motorolas of that era were pretty pooey

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Thats not my experience of them, you only had to look to long at the screens on them and they would break!! :disturbd:

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

1st phone, Summer 1999 - "Philips C12" (horrible brick thing) [Network: BT Cellnet, PAYG]

2nd phone, Spring 2002 - "Nokia 5510" (one of the 1st to have MP3 playback IIRC, still crap though) [Network: Genie (BT Cellnet, Online) contract, which then became O2, Online]

3rd phone, end of 2003 - "Sony Ericsson P900", Symbian UIQ based smartphone [Network: O2, High Street contract]

4th phone, Spring 2006 - "O2 XDA Mini S" (HTC Wizard), Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Phone [Network: O2, Online contract]

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

....and the one I had had no way of bringing up the phonebook after writing a text you HAD to enter the phone number :) - at the time I had my entire phone book memorised because of this. I think they fixed this in newer models tho.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

It really wasn't that big! It was one of the smaller phones of its time

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Ok.. My phones:

1. Already mentioned: The 7110 in 1999
2. Motorola Timeport T250: 2000. Absolutely crap phone, and one reason why I'll never have another Motorola
3. Sony Ericssion T68i (2001): Brilliant little phone..
4. Sony Ericsson p800 (2003). Excellent phone, and I still have it as a spare.
5. P910i (2005). My current phone. I can upgrade, but I am happy with it until the P990 is made available.
   
   
   
   
   

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

My first mobile was the Motorola M301 on One2One, back in 1994. I'm on my 11th or 12th mobile now. I change every year or so.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Maybe hes getting mixed up with this one...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Phillips-Mobil...QQcmdZViewItem
I know a lot of people used to get the two mixed up, even if they do look nothing alike.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I have this one at presant:

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

This little (!!!) beauty - sold as the 'Nokia Orange' (because when Orange launched, all its other handsets were Motorolas), this handset is officially the Nokia 2140.

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

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

One of my earlier phones had an external ariel that was the length of the phone, it was swiveled around 180 degrees before answering, now that was naff :(

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Yeah my mum had one of those :)

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I too started out with the C25, was on Vodafone PAYG.

Nokia 3310: Orange contract (then got it unlocked to use with a Genie PAYG sim)

Nokia 5210: Got it cheap off a mate and used that with the Genie sim, then swapped onto O2 contract.

Samsung E800: Was my g/f's old and well used (and tatty!) Samsung E800 when the 5210 started playing up.

And just got a couple of weeks ago the SE W810i on Vodafone contract, nice.

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

I was quite the latecomer to mobile phones, I started off with some bizarre Motorola flip phone with a green display, the phone bills were astronomical so I never ended up with another one until the Nokia 5110 was released, then it was a 3210, an 8210, 8310, a Sony Ericsson T610, Motorola V600 and now (so far my favourite) SE K800I

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

Mine was a Nokia 5.1

Then a Nokia 4.2, 3310, 3410, Siemens M65, Motorolla v220i, then Nokia 1600 sold that and bought a Nokia 7110 which I have now as it just rules for best phone i have ever used.

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).

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

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

Re: What was your first ever Mobile Phone?
 

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.
