This was my very first cell phone. I thought this was the coolest thing on the planet back then in 1995. Boy, technology has changed.

Impossible - this handset or the first from the range, the 6110 (your picture is of the 6130 or 6150, not clear which), was released in 1997 which means there is no way you could have had it in 1995.

Dude....Did it occurred to you that I may have made a timeline mistake? All I know is I had that phone and that's what counts.

I know you made a mistake - but am interested in which variant and when?

I had an Ericsson PH388 in 1997, a Nokia 6150 (the triband variant) in 1998, a Nokia 8810 in early 1999, a Motorola StarTac 130 in mid 1999 and a Nokia 7110 in late 1999 through to mid 2000.

Can't remember exactly if it was 1991 or 1992 but this was the first phone I had: Ericsson-gh 197-1 (As far as I can ascertain it's the correct model number but not 100% sure, there were a few that looked the same but with different model numbers)

I loved it sooo much. And it was before it was used in the Matrix (though with spring loading mechanism) - after that, it was freaking coolest phone ever!

i did have startac - which was the first clamshell ever, but i hated the menus and it was not really mine, but my dads. this nokia was so much better.

motorola was a hit only by hardware design (back in the day) - soft was ****.

I forgot what my first cell phone was, no idea who the manufacturer was even. But the first that I bought myself and used for 5+ years was a Sony Ericsson w810i.

Motorola-RAZR-V3xx-01.jpg

This was 4 years ago when I was 16. Now I have my trusty 4S which I worked and paid for altho luckily until I find work my parents are paying the bill. My parents had Nokia 3310's with Cingular then switched to the crappy iDEN Nextel for the PTT but then quickly switched back after the Sprint merger to AT&T.

The first cell I saw was this Nokia handset slightly older than the one in the OP. Had a fairly large dot matrix display and an extendible antenna.

My first phone? The Razr v3. :p Almost six years of feature phones and a year of a smartphone.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
