Your very first Mobile/Cell phone

[ardchoille]

My first mobile phone was a Sidekick 3, loved it, but I moved to a Sidekick LX (larger screen) the next year. I moved to Android (htc G1) just before Danger (the manufacturer of the Sidekick operating system) became a subsidiary of Microsoft. In January of 2012 I moved to iOS (iPhone 4S) and have been a happy camper ever since.

I don't remember Sidekick, I don't think we had them here, It was mainly Nokia back then, They had the lions share of the market, I think the strong point was how easy to use they were.

This was my first phone! I used it on boost mobile for 1 year, then got with Verizon when I turned 18!

One year before I graduated high school.

I got my first one in 2003, I can't remember the model number.

The Sidekick line was exclusive to T-Mobile. That line kinda died just after Microsoft took over Danger, Inc.

They might have been here, I knew very little about mobile phones back then, I can still picture my first one.

You've ben making up for it since.

Mine was an Ericsson in 98/99, similar to this one. You could store about 100 phone numbers, send SMS and, wait for it...make phone calls.

DING! DING! DING! My first phone was a bag phone from Sam's Club in 1991 or 1992. It had an antenna that you stuck to the windshield with suction cups and plugged into the cigarrette lighter. I also bought an inverter at Radio Shack and put a cigarrette lighter adapter on it so I could use the phone in the house. Ahhhh, the good old days...
I think my first "real" phone was the Nokia 232 in 1995 or so. I loved Nokia back then, they could do nothing wrong as far as I was concerned.

I was another Bag Phone user for my first phone in 1998. I had the antenna that stuck on the trunk and I had to always take it with me when I went out with friends. 2014 take your car charger 1998 don't forget your external antenna!!! LOL! Then a few years later I got my first handheld ... The yellow Nokia in the picture.

I've sported the LG chocolate slider and flip! I liked how thin the flip was, but it tore up on me constantly. The chocolate slider with the iPod knock off spin pad was my favorite non smartphone!

This was the phone!
