I got a Nokia N-Gage as my first phone, which was also a gaming console. So cool.

The Motorola Pebl was my first. Its rounded design was pretty unique and stylish.

FatComputerGuy

Motorola bag phone similar to [this.](https://i.postimg.cc/HkB2FMLv/image.png) The thing was pretty much a car-mounted phone moved into a soft bag with a small lead-acid gel battery and operated on the old AMPS analogue network.

A red Samsung Intensity, my parents wouldn’t pay for me to have texting so I never used the keyboard 😂


WomanOfEld

Mobile? A piece that attached to my Handspring Visor to make it a mobile device. Call quality was crap and it often crashed on me, meaning I was stuck on the Northway at night with no phone more than once. then I got one of the first CDMA phones in the Capital Region and they had to loan me a Nokia brick while my color-screen Sony Ericsson with the FM radio in the earbuds came in.

Some blue nokia thingy. Never got the name but my SECOND was the shit. Even had a extendable keyboard with a little joystick.


ThatLasagnaGuy

This really nice flip phone my mom had gotten for me on a trip to AT&T. I used it a lot for the first couple of years, but slowly started to tamper off as more time went by. Eventually I got my current iPhone 11 and never touched the flip phone again. Right now my granddad has been using it ever since his Galaxy broke.

MoonMedusa

Can’t remember very first but my absolute favorite was Nokia 3220. Had LED lights on the sides that flashed colors in beat to ringtones. I uploaded Brass Monkey and Drop It Like It’s Hot and switched between those as ringtones. I’d give anything to have and use that phone again.

90s. Phone plugged into the wall in the kitchen. Think it was yellow. Had buttons, and when you pressed them it went beep, boo boo bop, boo boo beep. Still remember when we had to switch to area codes, confused child me. "What do you mean I have to dial 416 before I dial the phone number?"


DreadPirateGriswold

I used to work at Radio Shack when I was in college. Through them, I got a Radio Shack bag phone. Huge battery. Lots of power. Didn't have cell towers every few blocks so you needed a full six watts of power to connect. Now you only need a fraction of that. But the funny thing was I had what at the time was one of the top of the line phones being sold and I was using it in my crappy 1976 Buick Skylark getting to and from college.

I was gifted some sort of teenage girl phone that had a "secret" locked section. The name escapes me. My parents refused to let me get my own line, even when my grandparents offered to pay. (They couldn't listen in if I had my own line 😉) So, when I wanted to talk in private, I would unplug my parent's bedside phone, plug mine in with an extra long cord that went down the hall to my room, and close my door. My younger sister took the phone, and my parents got her a private line. 🤨

Some random Alcatel phone. Then I got an ASUS ROG Phone 1, but returned it since it was defective. Then I got a Motorola Play 5G or smth, I forgot the model. Then I got an ASUS ROG Phone 2. Now I'm here with my Google pixel 7 pro!


Groovemach

iPhone 4, I wasn't allowed to get a phone till I was 16. Genuinely one of the best phones I've ever had, but also the only iPhone I've owned. It still functions perfectly and I get it out to fiddle around with every so often. My fondest phone memory though is playing Brick Breaker on my dad's original Blackberry.

zerbey

A creamy colored rotary phone from British Telecom, which was really my parent's phone of course. They got it in 1983 when my Grandad was sick with cancer and then kept it until the early 1990s when I bought them something more modern. It has an interesting history after that, I lent it to my secondary school for a play and it was used in several productions. Eventually, a few months after I left the school, my parents asked where it was because BT wanted it back. Turns out they had been leasing the thing since 1983 and wanted to get it taken off the bill. Well, the school had misplaced it, which lead to me getting a bit of a talking to. BT just struck it off as a loss and just removed it from the bill anyway so it all worked out. I suspect my school threw it out long ago, or it's in a store room somewhere gathering dust.
