But it was 1992.
Yeah I had a sony as wel, a cmh 111, really quite small for the time. Although it was small, it had this horrible flip down mic on a stalk and no screen!!

A low bill for me back then was around £300!

In a way I miss the simplicity of those times, these days phones do so much.....

My first in February '99 was a Motorola Montreal, which was basically a c520, but one 2 one had names, not numbers, then it was a Nokia 3110, a 3310, 3510i, then a Sony T610, it got pinched and was replaced by a T630, now I have a K700i.

Up to the 3110 I was on one 2 one, then that became T mobile, then I moved to 02, and all with the same number. I've had about 3 SIM cards though. One couldn't handle all the new fangled stuff, then I got my replacement sim for the stolen one, then my TM punted my number to 02.

Motorola m3788e on Orange PAYG. Still actually have the phone, but compared to todays phones it isn't a brick, it's a breeze block!

Mine was a Sony CM something or other as well.

The one with the flip down mic. Analog. Back in about 1992 I think. It was state of the art in them days!

They have one in Edinburgh museum now!

It fell to bits in about 6 months so I replaced it with a half-brick Sony (mars bar one). Can't remember the model number of that one but it was a heftier piece of kit. It lasted the distance. Still got it in a box in the garage somewhere I think.
