Inspired by the current /. poll.

I was 26 when I got my first mobile phone in 1999.

16. From what little I had saved, but mostly parents' money. SE K700i - a real monster back then.
I still have it and it works, only the original battery can't even handle making a call anymore and it's too costly to replace.

7th grade, so 13-15. It was one of the brick phones, but I can't remember if from Nokia or Motorola.

Must have been 1992, I was 26. It was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x darkgrey

Took a bit of a break after that and then got a Sony phone around 1998 or so.

Motorola DynaTAC 8000x > Sony CM-DX1000 > CMD-C1 > Nokia 3110 > 7110 > 6620 > 6680 > N73 > N95 > LG arena (yeah I know..) > HTC Desire > Nokia Lumia 800 > Soon to come Nokia Lumia 920
