Mine was a Philips 301 on Cellnet, costing £140!

Text messages used to be 5p on U (Pay and go cellnet)

Sim card was the size of a credit card....

oh those were the days!!

The 1st one I had was a motorola, that was the size of a brick. Can't remember what model it was tho. It had a pully-out ariel!! I thought I was the 'daddy' when I had it!!!

MINE WAS A PHILLIPS SAVVY
COST ME £29 (€37)
COST A FORTUNE TO CALL 80P PEAK AND 40P OFF PEAK
RECEPTION WAS CRAP BUT SHE DONE THE BUSINESS:yawn:

can you say CAPS LOCK

mine was also a motorola on vodaphone.

it wasnt the motorola that everyone had.

I remember the days when Vodafone PAYG used to have the service charge...how annoying was that! I was so happy when AllCalls came out!

Wasn't it something like a £15 top-up got you £10 calling credit and 60 service days?

I can still remember the annoucement to this day...spine chilling: "Your service credit is running low, please arrange a top-up"

The first logo I ever brought cost only 10p! Oh how times have changed

Mine was a Mitsubishi Trium Geo@ which was one of the first WAP phones released as I recall.

It was on BT Cellnet PAYG.

I had it for about a year and then switched to a Sony CMD-J7 on Virgin PAYG then Panasonic GD67 on Virgin PAYG again and then finally my current phone a Sony Ericcson t68i on O2 Online Pay Monthly.

mine was a motorola Startac70
then a panasonic g520

Mine was a Nokia 5110 on Vodafone.

Mine was that Orange Bosch.

You know the one! It was on the orange network (pay as you go) and was orange in colour.

Absoulutly disgusting looking back now.

Mind you, I havent learnt my lesson. Now got a nokia 7650 which must be one of the most faulty, ugly and most troublesome phones on the market!

I had the same phone Skettle... still around here in a drawer for some reason... ugly, ugly thing.

whats wrong with the 7650 mate?

Maxon MN1

lol

i had that phone the dark blue one!

the vodafone mn1

aka

maxon mx3204

my dad still uses it to this day!!!!

Yep mine was same till i got new one then ran over old one with bike

Hi there Saxton,

Where should I start?

* There is a common problem involving the power button on the side of the phone. It is very temperamental and it sometimes takes me about 10 mins to turn my phone on! Honest mate!

* The slide starts to loosen after a few months use.

* The numbers on the keypad become sticky, on my handset th number 7, 4 and * key sometimes don't respond.

* There is very limited memory on the phone.

* The phone often doesnt recieve calls or texts but acts fine in the process, in other words my phone is fine to use and seems ok, but then all of a sudden I will recieve a batch of voicemails and texts that have been collected over the last few hours or sometimes days.

* When you go into a 'no reception' zone the phone will not pick up a reception when you move back into an area with reception. You have to manually turn the phone off and on again (which is a task within itself with the power button!) before it picks up a reception!

I know friends that have 7650's that are slighlty newer than mine (mine is about 7 months old) and theirs are starting to develop these problems.

P.S. Anyone want to buy a great condition 7650 top-of-the-range Nokia handset?

sounds as good as my old trium mars mate

my mates 3310 was run over by a bus

lol

Lol friend dropped his off open top bus

If you've still got your trium, I'll swap ya!

Mine was a Nokia 5110 (aka Nk402) on Orange PAYG, i use to love that phone! I still have it in my room somewhere!

I had a Bosch 509e too! I thought it was just me who bought one.

Those were the days, 10 free messages a day, but then you couldn't send any more! How daft was that?

lol i sold mine to my mate!

I have had my 7650 for over 1 year now, and has been used to death. The only problem i have ever experienced out of those, is the reception one, and thats only twice. My phone slides properlly, my power button has never failed me, my numbers are not sticky.... what do you do to your phone? Also remember at the time 4 Megabytes on a phone was the most on the market!



My First phone was a Motorola C520 on One2One.

I used to have a C250 too lol, that cost £49 which was a bargain then!

I'm still using my first phones, namely 3 Motorola M3788e, all with a heavy hint of dinosaur styling and all on ROAYG (Rip Off As You Go).
