What Was Your Very First Cellphone?

[KZWings]

My first cell phone, the Palm Pre.

Such a great phone. WebOS is/was very under-rated.

You mean after the car phone?

In case any of you youngsters had no idea where Carphone Warehouse got its name ;)

My first real mobile phone was a Samsung SPH-N240. This baby was so small and awesome, I'd still use it if it had any features I wanted. It doesn't even support text messaging, which was the only reason I upgraded at the time (like 10 years ago at least):

This phone is a little over 4 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide, and 0.7 inches thick, and the screen boasts a whopping 128 x 64 monochrome display with a beautiful blue backlight. Battery life was like, two weeks :laugh: I still have it in a drawer somewhere!

Sony Ericsson J210i. I had internet and email on it, can you imagine!

After that Sony Ericsson K320i

Then Sony Ericsson G705 (which had push mail, Exchange ActiveSync, GPS, WiFi, , HSPA, apps: Gmail, Opera Mini, Facebook, Twitter, ... - I loved this one, and that was in 2008 you know!)

Then Sony Ericsson Elm

Then a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 (only for a few days, after which I went back to the Elm for a month or two)

Then my first proper Android: Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo

Then I won a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S in january this year

Then I purchased a Sony Xperia S a month or two later (really pretty phone, still have it)

And two weeks ago I received my Sony Xperia T that I just won on Twitter:

You seriously never used anything other than sony?

[Biotoxic_hazard_835]

I think it was this phone. The Qualcomm QCP 2700.

Yes I used to have one of these back when Celullar One was the biggest provider in Puerto Rico.

My first cell phone was an ipod, a phone, and an internet communications device.

An ipod, a phone, an internet communications device.

Yup, mine to.

Nope!

Well I have a student job at The Phone House (= Belgian branch of Carphone Warehouse PLC, largest mobile retailer in Europe) so I have seen a lot of phones and I can pretty much find my way around any phone. But I think Sony has always had pretty much the best features/price ratio you could ever get, their phones look good (easily distinguishable from other brands), their interfaces are really good, especially the featurephone ones.

But yes, I love Sony. I really want to go work there, hence the software development studies focusing on Android development + me wanting to go study in Sweden for half a year (Sony Mobile's Android development is mostly located there).

Cant argue with that, some days ago I was at my provider's shop deciding between an xperia s and my current htc one x. The xperia has one of the best designs I've seen, both phones where a beauty. But I decided for the htc because the xperia came with android 2.3 and because it was $200 cheaper. 'Surely there is something wrong with it at that price' I thought.

Hah. I hope you do know the Xperia S has had the update to Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4) available since june now :p and Jelly Bean is imminent.

[paxa]

my first was a nokia 5110. worked like a charm, despite looking like i had a bon** when stuck it in the pants front pocket :p

My mom had one of those. She still misses the ringtone she had back then.

Not in mexico dude. You cant trust telcel (the biggest mexican provider, and biggest mexican monopoly too)

If the network is regular GSM you can flash the Xperia's to European firmware without data loss, warranty loss or any issues ;) but the One X is really good and still faster than the S.

Believe me, this was a looker back in it time.

I think it still is.

[sanctified Veteran]

I think it still is.

Too bad the antenna was crap.

[Shadrack]

I wish I could find an image of it. I probably still have it around here somewhere if I didn't throw it away.

It was a Verizon Wireless LG flip phone back in 2005. I can't find the model number anywhere. Wish I could find a picture but I'm all Google-foo'd out. I can't remember if the phone had a camer but I don't think it did...maybe. I know it didn't have a screen on the front for time/text messages.

When searching for the model number I found some old Verizon bills in my email. $55/month for a very basic 450min and I think 200txt plan. Glad to know that my bill is substantially less, and my plan substantially better with StraightTalk today.

Kids these days... I went through all of college and graduated without owning a cell phone. Now it is like the majority of middle schoolers have them.

Yeah, well a long time ago you basically had to be rich, well have a damn good job just to be able to buy one, let alone pay for time.

Nowadays a young kid can go to pretty much any store and buy a pretty good cellphone on what they'd earn a night babysitting or some other odd job, and even buy time with their allowances, etc. etc.

Nokia 3310. Still have it. And it still works! :)
