Then I got a 3210, then 3310....

LOL Those things weighed like half a kilo, almost as much as my iPad!

tonysidaway · 27-05-2011, 16:55

Motorola MR1, £100 on a contract to Orange in 1994. See here for my description of the hideous thing in another thread.

It's amazing how mobile phones have evolved since then; they're essentially pocket computers now, where as back then they were still very basic. I wonder what they'll be like in another decade from now?

I had the same phone, it was brilliant.

ACU · 27-05-2011, 17:07

Here is my phone history

Nokia 8210
Nokia 8910..great phone had this for about 3 years!!
Nokia 8800
Nokia 8600 luna

Then a Desire, now have a Desire HD

Martin Phillp · 27-05-2011, 23:48

Nokia RinGo on Vodafone Pay as you Talk around 1997 and then a Panasonic GD90 which was my first GSM phone, then a Nokia 3310.

unklesam · 28-05-2011, 07:25

Motorola C520 £69.99 on Orange Just talk,

ba_baracus · 28-05-2011, 08:03

The Ericsson GA628. The blue panel actually came off and could be replaced with a yellow or red panel.

And I remember buying a replacement ariel which flashed when a call was being made

JamesParkin · 28-05-2011, 08:33

It was a philips, it looked like a genie, but that was announced in 1999, which seems to be about 2 years later than I had it

http://st2.gsmarena.com/vv/bigpic/phgenieb.gif

Yu answered calls by popping the microphone out, and ended them by sliding it away.

Very light phone too

SJ_Mental · 28-05-2011, 08:52

I had a Ericsson analogue band phone first (can't recall the name)

Then a sagem nm1 (think that's what it was called)

gmphmac · 28-05-2011, 09:24

Samsung T100. Oh wow how I loved this phone. I remember showing off, because it had polyphonic ringtones and a colour screen.

DarthGore · 28-05-2011, 09:47

Nokia 5110, and got the Darth Maul cover and a red keypad to customise it into an excellent looking Star Wars phone! Loved that thing, and it's still in my house gathering dust displayed on a shelf

IvanIV · 28-05-2011, 10:08

Siemens C45, I still have it somewhere and it still works.

daveyfs · 28-05-2011, 10:44

Another vote for Nokia 5110, on Cellnet in 1998.

And like a previous poster, I wondered too what the 'Messaging' menu was for, until I received my first text in 1999, all written in capital letters!

AJXX · 28-05-2011, 10:57

Nokia 3310.

When the whole phone cloning story broke, I changed to the GSM version the following year and that was when I got my current phone number (minus the first 7 which was added later). Anyone else had the same phone number that long?

LostFool · 28-05-2011, 23:44

I cannot remember the model number but a plastic Sagem brick on Vodafone PAYG in 1998.

I didn't have it long before changing to the classic Nokia 3210.

This was my frst one too, or on that looked identical, might have been the next model out as I think it was later than you, about 1996ish..
We got it so my then missus could ring me at 2am for lift home when she was out with the girls, if i was out 'cruizin about' in my mk3 cav sri with the other boy racers.. hehe

I remember it only stored numbers, not names, no texting back then either, and the battery lasted about a day on standby, and about 20mins in use...
