Mine was this Nokia 3410. Used to love playing Snakes on this.

Years later I owned one of these and it was so good. I found it in my one of my cupboards the other day and it’s so strange how small it is compared to current phones. :laugh:

Does anyone else remember their first mobile phone?

My first one was the nokia phone from the matrix. It was pretty beat up as it had been through my da and bro by the time I got it, but probably the coolest phone I've ever had.

They were the coolest. I was tempted to go android again last time I upgraded, so I could get the new version.

Nokia 3310
1996 or 97, myself and my best friend didnt know what to ask for at Christmas so we spotted the Motorola (I think it was the MR201) in argos and we thought it would be amazing to talk to each other on them lol, we asked our parents and got them.
No one else we knew had really had a mobile phone so we thought we were the dogs bollocks lmao
Oh and I even had a fabric and plastic cover for mine :flutter:
Very similar to the pic

Think it was a Sony Ericsson T66. I know it was an Ericsson, just not sure of the model.

My first phone was a Nokia Banana phone 8110. I loved it. I remember when I first got a phone you could only text people on the same network, I was on orange and my bf got a phone but it was on voda so we couldn't text :sad:
Playing snake on Nokia was fab :laugh:

All I remember about it was it was a dark green colour and had a little stubby aerial. This was like 1998/9ish. Definitely wasn't a "big make" like Nokia or anything.
EDIT: thinking back it may have been Ericsson?

You had great taste there Cal. Walkman phones were the best I remember having this one for a while also.

Obviously phones are much better now but all look pretty much the same, this thread makes me nostalgic for when there was so much more variety in design and appearance
