I can't remember if this was the very first phone I had but I'm pretty sure it was as it was birthday gift I think:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-J5-Orange-Just-Prepay/dp/B00005LW5T

Lovely phone it was too. Slim, attractive, lightweight and the first ever phone to be able play MP3s for the ringtone instead of some polyphonic garbage.

I had it for that long I can still remember the tactile feel of the buttons.

I can't find any of my old ones.

My first was an Alcatel with an orange screen,

That was my first phone! I must have blocked out the memory of it :rofl: I got it on a Virgin PAYG deal, then swiftly moved up to the Sony J5 when I went to college. It's all come flooding back now.

The 3210 was my second phone. My girlfriend had that Philips Savvy at the time and I was a horrendous thing that kicked out so much interference it used to reset computers if you sat it next to them and a call came through.

I can't for the life of me remember what my first phone actually was. Big chunky thing, one line display, on orange. I think it was a black and grey gloss case and it was about three times as big as the 3210.

Was this before you became Doctor Manhattan? :lol:



Have you noticed how phones have gone from being ugly bricks, to sleek and cool (e.g. the Nokia 'Matrix' phone) right back to being ugly bricks again, but now with huge touchscreens. I think the days of a phone being admired in the same way are long gone. Now for the posers its all about how many features a phone has or how big said screen is. Any guesses where the market will be in another 10 years time?

I used to have a Nokia 8210 when I worked at Dominos in 1999.  I had to keep it in a moneybag to stop the cornflower getting into it.

The phone weighs 79 g (with a lithium battery) and is 101.5mm long, 44.5mm wide and 17.4 mm thick.
