This was the first one I had early 90's I believe.

Then went to the startac mid 90's. had all the bells and whistles then. Cost me over $500 then. Still have it I think.

Mine was a really old green phone that could not send text messages, I used the one2one network in the UK, not sure what happened to them, but the phone had an army ring tone and I thought it was cool you could have those tunes as a ringtone..

cant for the life of me find the name of the phone or a picture, but I remember the sim cars where the size of a credit card and in the back of the phone..

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!

My wife and I both had a Chocolate 3. Mine had to be replaced and eventually that one did a boot loop thing. Her's did ok.

Yeah, the nano sim, I wonder how much smaller apple will plan to make them as well until there is nothing but the chip, good way to save lots of space though

only down side is to that is having to wait for carriers and change your sim card constantly to a smaller one so you can use it, not like the first micro sim where there where cutters and lots of people cut them up themselves... I never tried that with the nano sim
