i had the slivr
which was like the turbo premium device for special people
>>51578001
I got the phone in '11 for work, all of the previous jobs I've had didn't require me to have a phone.
I honestly don't even remember.
This.
>>51577617
Which is the stay at home dad
This thing was OG until it fell out of my pocket

If Android flip phones become popular Motorola better make an android version of these

my first cell phone was a motorola talkabout t2282
thought these were so innovative
My first phone was some shitty work phone my dad gave me. It worked well enough I guess.
This is the closest I could find, I barely remember it.
Got the tracfone version when I was 18. Parents didn't believe in cell phones and thought it was the most retarded thing ever that kids everywhere used them heavily to text each other.
>tfw when having to tell other kids they had to call the landline at your house to reach you.
>tfw no one ever called.
If you had more than this for your first phone, you are practically underage.
It was this. I got it when I was 16, and was roundly mocked for the "Virgin Mobile" branding on the front.
>>51577617
Then you probably have irreparable mental damage.
>>51578101
i also never had a dumbphone,but i knew how use the dumbphone more then my parents.I only got a cellphone after I relized my shitty dsl is the same speed as 4g
>>51578960
>my shitty dsl is the same speed as 4g
No, 4G/LTE is a good deal faster than DSL.
>>51578582
1997? More like 2010 fuck...
>>51578880
>and was roundly mocked for the "Virgin Mobile" branding on the front.
Holy fuck there are some things I REALLY don't miss about high school. Hard to believe how petty and stupid kids can be.
This buggy piece of shit that looked cool.
Loved it!
>>51577418
Glad I wasn't the only one stuck with that piece of shit. You couldn't fucking do anything with that thing.
AA-battery powered phone master race coming through
get out of the way li-ion plebs
Qualcomm QCP-2760
>flips open phone
So good. I miss flip phones so bad.
Sorry for ant image.
Nokia Masterrace reporting. Still have it. Last time I checked a few years ago it could receive texts, but couldn't save them or something, it was weird.
Trium Astra. Didn't even have a clock on that fucking thing.
>>51580339
Forgot the image and it's Astral.
>>51580339
>Trium Astra
lol. the one with the extra antenna ON TOP of the antenna to pull out.
I remember when these were available for cheap as fuck (I think 25DM)
>>51580221
aaayyyy
This bastard. Fucking brick and no gaemz.
>>51577418
Siemens S25. Have an 8(?) colour screen. Shit was baller yo
this or something very similar to this
Ericson sh868 tracfone..
>>51580516
opps forgot pic
>>51580516
>>51580535
oh no wait i was wrong! the siemens s25 was my first new phone. my very first phone was my dads nokia 1610. i think he upgraded to a 3110
First one was a Sagem 939 which I really wanted because of that cool flap but it CONSTANTLY broke and was rubbish after a year when the warranty was over.
Second one was actually awesome and I had it for many years.
Siemens M50.
I still think it looks gorgeous. Always loved the deep blue display and blew me away the first time I turned it on. Fuck yes...
>>51578039
>I was in the 3rd grade when I first got this phone, it was my first as well.

nokia 3310 -> Sony Ericsson W580i (iirc) -> iphone 4 -> lg g4 (2 weeks ago)
>>51580711
This fucking thing was EVERYWHERE in my schooltime back around 2000 or so.
Literally everyone was sitting around playing snake.
>>51578039
I had V3XX as my third phone. Fucking loved that thing.
>>51580733
>tfw I was one of the kids who owned 3210 while everyone else had 3310
>>51577856
Still is
>>51580770
>tfw I was the only one who didn't have a Nokia and faggots couldn't decide if they want to bully me because of that or if they want to play mini golf on my Sagem 939
The cognitive dissonance was gigantic.

There was game in it something called space something.Does anyone know its name and how to get it?
>>51580853
Space Impact?
Ah memories
>>51580890
I think it was it.Only thing I remember is that the MC is called Geneva something.
This
>>51580999
Then this
>>51581035
Then this.
Still love that orange
Got it when I was 17. It was neat since the music player wasn't terrible and could store a lot of shit.
The front speaker was nice and Moto G3 is the first phone I've had since that one to have them.
>>51581080
i agree. there should be more orange in technolody
>>51580853
>>51580890
>>51580998
The days when I did'nt need to see full lenght videos to play a game.
>>51581109
I stopped using Ubuntu when they stopped using Orange and started being a mac clone.
>>51577418
Motorola Razr was my first real phone, got it at 16 when I got a job, my Dad upgraded to a new phone, and my parents thought I should start carrying a cell phone as my job was a decent ways away. Before that was my Nintendo DS with a VOIP program and 20 minutes from free trials for various services. I'm thinking about going back to a dumb phone now and I still have that Razr.
>>51577856
I was such a badass in 8th grade with this phone, shit would light up and just in general go apeshit when you receive a call/text. The back camera was also really impressive for only being 800x600
>>51578013
my nigga that phone was sweet as fuck back in the day.
>>51578523
Pfft. Newfag. Mine came out before they invented twisty wires. Cloth wrapped cord master race.
One of my favorites
10 years ago I bought one of these after one whole summer of underpaid job
I miss old phones.
Most of them were semi-unique, so it was cool to see other people's phones - both externally and in terms of user interface.
Now they're all identical. Infinitely more functional but infinitely less interesting because since I've used both iOS and Android, I've seen it all.
Solid phone, but my favorite from pre-adolescent years is the Sidekick, man was that phone popular. It was the iPhone before the iPhone.
>>51577418
a white one
>>51584807
Sure
to date my favorite phone I've owned
>>51577880
pretty much this.
>>51577418
>mfw I also had that phone
>>51578664
Fuckin awesome
>>51584754
i want it back so bad
something like this.
>>51578585
had that one a few phones after I got pictured one which was my first.
8310 was so small and awesome.
One of these, in translucent blue. I miss it a lot.
> your first phone
Okay.
This bad boy right here.
>>51578880
I had that 1 after I broke this 1
Y'all niggies must be underage.
>>51578592
This. Motorola StarTAC.
It's garbage.
>>51579045
This was like my 6th phone, I bought it because it reminded me of a Star Trek communicator.
Still remember that orange glow.
>>51586494
I went through so many Virgin Mobile phones. You'd buy one for $50, lose it in the back of a cab or something, buy another one, lose it 2 months later, repeat.
Only when I started getting "smartphones" did I give a shit enough to take care of them.

Shittiest phone out of all the ones in this thread.
>>51577418
here have my whole history from those other threads.
>>51580331
my man!
>>51580221
Considering you got a week of powered on time out of 2 AA bats not too shabby
Sony Ericsson W850i
Dank as fuck
It was alright but I only used it to text my mom
>tfw no friends to call on my phone in high school
>>51578101
Had 7500, almost the same, think 7500 had data capabilities while 7200 didn't.
>>51579158
Also my first, but in black. It was kinda cool but i basically just used it for emergency calls
>>51584754
Also had SH888, first phone with irda data, used it with Palm III.
Everyone talks these days how Nokias where solidly built but it was actually Ericsson GH SH series that had metal magnesium frame, internal rubber seals and so on, very expensively built.
>>51589612
I got ~600 free minutes while using this thing. I added a 60 minute card with a 60 minute promo code, then spent a few hours calling TF customer service and the conversation would be something along the lines of
>hi how can I help you?
>I added my minutes but forgot to use my promo code, can I still do that
>sure, what's your IMEI? The card code? The Airtime code?
>give same promo code I already used
>repeat
I also have the IMEI memorized thanks to this, 7 years later
Forgot which one it was, but it was a Nokia with a removable she'll so you could put in these little face plates. Dope phone
This was mine, I thought it was so special
>>51589739
My nigga
>>51578101
>>51589584
What the fuck are these?
>>51589849
phones
>>51580221
I had one of those, but not as a first phone.
Motorolla v100/v.box was mine.
What a piece of shit.
I'm a pro at Towers of Hanoi now though
i don't remember the models of my first few phones
this looks like the third one i had, might not be the exact model
>>51590082
Those had voice capabilities only through headphones or something like that?
Pretty forward thinking from Motorola.
>>51590197
That was it. No "hands free" cable, no phone calls.
It's like they foresaw text would dominate.
Infrared
>>51577617
>What if my dad identifies as a woman?
Should have the option to buy one with a button with a dress AND a beard
>triggered
those disco lights
kinda miss it
>>51577880
My first one looked similar and was from Nokia but it had a kind of dark beige/gold color and I can't find it anymore for the life of me
>>51590082
that looks awesome
>>51585987
Looks like the Samsung sph-a660
>>51579026
I got my first phone around 2010. Don't really need a phone when all you do is go to school, hang out with your friends for a couple hours, and go back home. Never really had an urgent need to tell anybody anything, and if I did I always had the Internet back home.
>>51590331
And by the way, not underage b&, 5 years ago I was 15.
>>51590297
Motorola did some pretty crazy designs back then.
I got this as a hand-me down. I forgot how cool the front clock display was.
This was also the first camera phone I remember seeing in person.
0.3 megapixels, with enough storage for 20 pictures, aw yeah.
>>51590265
aww shit this was my second phone, shit was so cash
>>51578880
>>51578880
AUSTIN?
Hey kiddos
>>51590479
Used one of these for a few days. Swivel antenna and segment display.
Displayed signal strength as numeric value instead of bars.
Loved this phone, still have it somewhere
This one.
This.
>>51580770
Hahah yea what retards we were, felt right in your hand though. Wish nokia still made good phones like this, greed eh..............
Got one of these tracfones in highschool, had it for a couple years too
This thing.
Here it goes...
>>51578582
>waah, im twelve, im a big boi now
>>51578448
>tfw everyone has to stay alive to contain the skeleton inside them
Tfw free TDMA internet
>>51586523
that's because flip-phones were designed after that thing
I'm not even sure if this had text capability.
>>51578592
My nigga. I had this one but blue.
>>51577631
my childhood right there
>>51577418
What if my parents are dead? What do the buttons do then?
>>51578857
Mah nigga, I remember when Vodafone put out South park themed ones
>>51580221
Literally unbreakable as well
>>51590722
My nigga, got one of these in the same blue for my 15th anniversary.
It was of the first one in school, came a belt clip, and you could compose your own midi rigntones !
>>51579654
This. And it still works.
>>51580711
My first phone! It was handed down to me by my dad and got stolen a year later.
Durable as fuck with a belt clip (I used it in my pocket).
Direct Connect (walkie talkie) was great. Too bad it was limited to the iDEN network.
>>51578039
Still the only thing that Motorola did right. I don't care if the phone itself is shit, the whole design is sexy as fuck
>>51590540
I'm in love with this phone
>colour screens
Kids these days I tell ya...
>no games
>tfw all the cool kids in class had Nokia 3210 with snake
>>51590892
Muh nigga. This was my first too, and yes, it had text capability. You could send little emoticons with your text too at no extra charge, ahead of it's time in a way. I remember it having some strange horoscope type game/oddity on it too.
Was my mom's old phone. She had just upgraded to the original razor
>>51579654
Still have it somewhere... the design was and still is badass, and the LEDs on the side are awesome.
>>51591651
Look at the pot calling a kettle black.
Sony Ericsson t100
>>51584754
This was my moms first phone, she got it from my aunt.
>>51590665
In reality, the screen was SHIT
This bad boy right here.
>>51591786
But the screen was better than the camera. I could never see what the fuck I had taken a picture of.
>>51586518
Dude I had it like my second phone, what are you talking about that shit was unbreakable.
>>51591816
I believe the resolution was 320x240 or something... even when transferring the pics to a computer, they looked like shit.
Kore wa
>>51577880
this, but I had one before but can't for the life of me remember what it was. it had removable face plates and a retractable antenna.
>>51590722
This was also my first phone, but have it in mind that I had it in time when color phones were a thing, I was so ashamed
>>51590722
I had this one as my first one.
It was a T10s (what on earth did the S stand for, I have no clue).
Anyway, you could compose your own melodies, it had a vibration motor which was loud as fuck, it had voice recognition, which was interesting, but no games whatsoever.
The charger plug was also a bit weird, you had to pop it in in a funny way.
>His first phone had a colour screen
Jesus christ where did all these fucking kids come from.
>>51592106
this. I'm 23 myself and my first was the 3210, I'm baffled as to how these people's firsts were smart phones and flip phones. then again, my parents would give me their old phones.
Good old palm pre
>>51578001
It's called being poor, faggot.
>There are people on /g/ right now, who have never typed texts with a numpad
>tfw Motorola is dead
>>51593220
...my god, you're right.
I need to go lay down.
>>51593258
huh? when did this happen?
>>51580711
That one slipped out of my hand once and went tumbling down all the steps on a footbridge. Not even a scratch.
>>51577856
omg the memories
>tfw you had to worry about how many text messages you sent and bought plans based on texting packages.
>tfw you accidentally open up the web browser and you pound the end key hoping it doesn't go through and charge you.
ahhh the good ol early 2000's.
>>51594177
I had this phone stolen from me in middle school, shit was really good. Plus that bouncy-ball game was dope.
>>51594258
Considering it has IrDA instead of bluetooth and, horrible CMOS camera and 1MiB of storage, it was shit.
h-hey guys
>>51580711
thang this was insanely popular
>>51586518
yes this one, this phone was my first, I was sure I'll find it in this thread, the melody creator was dope, spent hours on it, creating perfect tunes.
>>51578349
My nigga
>>51593094
So much potential, even more than an underage b& like yourself
>>51594332
My friend had this. WTF were Nokia thinking? Design even worse than OG N-Gage
Only sold here because it was the first 3G phone in my country
>>51579022
[Dubious-Discuss]
I had a generic B&W Verizon phone, couldn't for the life of me remember enough of it to know its name.
I remember being very addicted to an insanely simplistic roguelike that it had preinstalled. Wish I could play it again.
I had two of these because the first one's power button got stuck in a weird position.
This motherfucker right here
>>51594921
i find it kind of funny seeing both precisely-machined metal parts and nicely-shaped/polished wood on devices that are left exposed anyway
it's like they didn't consider putting the things into a box, or they just really wanted to show off how high tech their shit was
>>51593094
god I loved that thing, first smart phone

>they just really wanted to show off how high tech their shit was
This. These days, you'd have to sign an NDA to look at new high tech shit.
>>51595842
these days the only way to look at the interesting bits is with an electron microscope, shit's literally so small that even fully exposed the parts are not visible
how crazy is that
>>51577920
>tfw yopu get one for christmas
>tfw you only get like 30min included
>tfw you blow throw the minutes on the first day and didn't have money to add more.

My first smartphone was the Optimus too. I have no idea why that piece of shit didn't put me off smartphones. Actually, virgin mobile is the reason I have only owned shit smartphones since then because muh glorious grandfathered $25 a month for actual unlimited data and messaging.
>>51590849
>TDMA
I was so mad when they phased this out. I got awesome service everywhere with my TDMA tracfone but when it got phased out the only thing I could get was a GSM tracfone on the AT&T network which was and still is complete trash where I live.
>>51594199
Oh man, the days when unlimited text/talk costed $80 a month on Verizon. Now it's $50 a month with a Gb of data.
>>51590666
I loved mine so much.
This thread is making me miss the sheer variety in cell phone design that used to exist. Now they're all just plastic slabs with big screens. RIP cool phones.
>>51586424
My kneegrow.
I was rocking that in '96(?).
>>51596808
Just give me *one* mid-high end android device, with a slide out qwerty keyboard, that I can root.
I'd got back to the HTC Desire Z if it wasn't so underpowered...
>>51584984
Fucking yes man. I got it for free off a friends dad. Was offered €300 for it because it wasn't available in our country (because Irish carriers sucked for years) I wish all phones were this solid, stylish and functional these days.
Oh the memories...
fuck this stupid fucking piece of shit
>>51598197
Dem changeable faceplates.
There was also an app for PC, that could "phone" your phone through the modem, and upload new carrier graphics.
Instead of saying "BT Cellnet", mine had a wicked cool picture of PacMan chasing a ghost.

One of them is bound to wear a dress sometimes.

>>51577418
Before this baby I had some other Nokia without color display.
Used this one for something more than 5 years.
>>51594454
hated this piece of shit
>>51577418
got it shortly after finishing high school. gotta love that 6 day standby time.
>>51580325
They are comeing back, have no pic now but i saw some android flip phones from samsung and huawaii, theyll launch in spring or so. But only asia currently
